Wow
Was that really the Red’s logo at some point?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Um
cool. Yeah, not quite the word I would have chosen.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I haven't noticed
except when I use quotes, sometimes it throws everything off.
What’s going on?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
It worked
But what is Joe thinking?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
And that play
seems to have cost Encarnacion.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Kay said that Girardi paid Cone a huge compliment
and said he would be an outstanding pitching coach if he wanted to be. He said that Cone knows how to teach pitching better than anyone he knows.
Cone’s response: “Well, how come he didn’t call me when he got the job?”
Some run support
would be just as good.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
An out
on a botched bunt and an out on a pickoff.
That’s a quick inning.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
That's Cano's
second line drive without a hit. But the runners moved up.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it...
Melky sucks. It’s not going to happen but I want to see Gardner promoted to give him some competition.
I was thinking the same thing.
We see a few flashes but I think its time to admit he’s not an every day player. I wonder how much he & Cano miss Torre and his crew. They both seem a tad lost this year.
I've never been a fan of Melky
I’ve always thought he was a fourth outfielder who happens to play everyday. I favored trading him both last offseason and the previous offseason.
I wasn't sure
about trading him unless it was as an inclusion in the Santana trade. I’ve been hoping he would turn it up a notch but alas…time for Gardner to press him for time. Maybe he needs that motivation.
He needs the competition
Melky was put on alert in ST when Cashman said he has to earn his job to keep it. Melky followed that with an outstanding Spring.
Competition is good for the team anyways since they don’t have any speed on the bench.
Just finish the inning
Pettitte is probably coming out after this inning regardless of a delay or not.
Michael Kay doesn't get it at all
He said earlier in the game that the Yankee fans don’t like Farnsworth because we’ve been spoiled because of Mo.
That’s it! Of course it has nothing to do with all the dingers, blown leads, and downright unreliability every time he takes the ball.
C’mon. And this guy is the face of the YES network.
Yeah
Normally we’d cheer for a guy who walks people and give up homeruns at an epic rate, but this is clearly personal. What a dope.
At the pace he’s on this year, Farnsworth should pitch in the home run derby here on Monday night.
Don’t like to wish injury on anyone, but that was a well-aimed groundball by Brandon Phillips.
"Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankees win."
-- Phil Rizzuto after hearing about the Pope's death
Farnsworth has given up 10 homers in 34 IP
That’s unbelievably bad. Only starters give up that many homers in a season.
Ridiculous
In other news, Papelbon just coughed up another one.
Tie game on TBS.
And Tampa lost.
"Well, that kind of puts a damper on even a Yankees win."
-- Phil Rizzuto after hearing about the Pope's death
Good for him
I think that’s like 4-5 blown saves for him. Maybe he should concentrate on keeping leads than impersonating Milli Vanilli during rain delays.
