Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees, Jun 7, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
Pete Abe pointed out that Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay makes the Yankees 2-9 vs. the Rays and Red Sox thus far in 2009. I'm not really alarmed by that since most of that came very early on when the Yankees weren't playing well. It sure would be nice to start reversing that trend today, though.
Let's hope Joba Chamberlain brings the kind of stuff today that he had last time out, when he had the most impressive start of his young career.
If you haven't seen it, MLB.com has started a New Yankee Stadium Homerun Watch, counting down to the MLB record 303 at Coors Field in 1999. The projected total is 297, but we haven't hit the heat of July yet.

And watching Dice K
pitch around every hitter from one to 9, 47 pitches thru 2 innings…Glad the Yankees didn’t spend 100 Mill on him!

CANO WALKS!!
and gets an RBI on the same play!!
Jorge does noting and ties it up too!
Matsui does even less, makes an out and the Yankees take the lead.
Who said they were the Bronx Bombers again?

it is looking
like a good idea on girardi’s part to take him out yesterday when he did- he was available today when they needed him.

true
who knows how long it would have taken Mo to get out of that inning? Maybe he gets right out of it, or maybe he lets in a few more?
In hindsight, isn’t that Farnsworth for Pudge trade looking even more horrible by the game? Farnsworth had his faults, but he was an above average setup guy and was unhittable at times last season..Then again, so was Jose Veras.

I don’t want to ever hear Farnsworth was a bad trade. He was the worst reliever, I’ve ever seen. Fact of the matter is he can’t perform in NY

nah...
Farnsworth wasn’t Jeff Nelson, but he’d sure be better than all the guys on the team right now and was in one of his unhittable streaks when they traded for the waste that was Pudge.
Farnsworth was pretty good, I really can’t see how he was the ‘worst’ you have ever seen. That is false that he didn’t perform in NY.
I didn’t necessarily like him in the 8th inning, Id rather him in the 7th if needed. But forced into the 8th inning role he was good.
That was the definition of a horrible trade given the Yanks pen right now.

Everytime
he came into a game, you could almost garuntee he’d get into some sort of trouble, plus the dude was a nutcase.
