I’m glad to see Girardi trying something new this series and letting the lefties play against the lefties.

Obviously, the righties haven’t done the job (Ensberg, and Duncan) so it was time to let the regulars take their hacks.

Maybe the old Jeter is coming back.

He worked a walk and now stole 2B. Haven’t seen much of that at all this season.

nice robbie

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Damn

That stolen base by Jeter in the 1st was just the 13th of the season for the Yanks – tied for fewest in the AL with the ChiSox.

Hard to believe, but that was Jeter’s first SB attempt since Opening Day.

Wang looking sharp

Only 26 pitches thru 3 IP—19 strikes

by anaconda on May 18, 2008 8:50 PM EDT reply actions  

Good

we need a break

Oh blurgh.

We need our bats to wake up if we’re going to have a chance.

by NYinCalifornia on May 18, 2008 9:11 PM EDT reply actions  

That was a huge break

But it will be all for naught if they don’t start scoring runs.

by anaconda on May 18, 2008 9:13 PM EDT reply actions  

is there a reason

why part of the pole is black?

by seanp23 on May 18, 2008 9:14 PM EDT reply actions  

No legitimate reason

But it worked in the Yanks favor.

Cano caught a break

He would have been out by 5 feet if the throw was decent.

by anaconda on May 18, 2008 9:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Sigh

A run there would have been nice. Abreu with a horrific AB.

Gammons:

Cashman and the Yankees decided not to get Johan because the red sox won with young players.

I like how they made Hank out to be a real moron

with the music and the images floating around the screen. All they needed was have him wearing a dunce cap or clown makeup and they would’ve had him pegged perfectly.

In unrelated news...

The director of the new Get Smart movie could not have found a better actor than Steve Carell to play the Maxwell Smart role.

Kudos to him.

Just curious

if they’re gonna play Gonzalez at 3B, why the hell is Ensberg on the team?

Gonzalez has a good glove, but he’s clueless at third. He’s botched two popups and should have made the play on the grounder during Wang’s bad inning.

I like AGon as a back up to Cano and Jeter. I don’t understand why he’s at third.

I think Ensberg or Duncan is getting the boot on Tuesday

Probably Duncan again since he still has options left. I was a fan of the Ensberg signing, but he clearly hasn’t worked out very well.

by anaconda on May 18, 2008 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think

Britton will go down. They have too many pitchers.

I could Ensberg or Duncan going when the WB comes back. He was starting to hit before he hurt himself.

Good point

Britton is basically the driver of the Scranton shuttle bus crew. You’re right that he may get the boot instead.

Im not the biggest reggie guy

but can we relax with the “Reggie Jackson-type homerun by Ryan Church” stuff, guys?

by seanp23 on May 18, 2008 10:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Ditto

I’ve never been the biggest Reggie fan myself.

by anaconda on May 18, 2008 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

Abreu = horrid

I’ve said this before but Matsui is a better outfielder than him, which isn’t saying much.

Matsui would have charged that ball and quickly thrown a strike home. Abreu’s arm is stronger but it’s NEVER accurate. Then there’s the whole wall thing.

Ditto

Let Abreu walk after this season. I’ve been saying that since the beginning of the season.
