PrintIt's official -- Andy Pettitte to the disabled list and Jonathan Albaladejo into the Yankee bullpen. Gee, nobody could have predicted that one.

Those who have tickets in the bleachers, the HR-possible variety
should probably warm up their throwing arms before going to games. Gonna be throwing em back.
Go New York Go!
Funny I
suggested to bring him up after Joba gave up the grand slam and I was told “the grass isn’t greener”.
Still isn't greener
just a different shade of green at this point, ok Albaladingdong, prove something to us please.

Joba is a field of Poison Ivy
Even if the grass is not greener it’s not poison ivy. Welcome to the show Albie!

What use do the Indians have for him?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
As a starter, which I don’t think the Yanks need in the future.

Still not answering the question about the Indians
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
I'm rooting for him
but i seriously doubt he’ll be any better than he was in previous stints
Hopefully he's a new pitcher

No multi-inning stints. Give him a sort at some important innings. Don’t leave him on the bench for a week at a time.
ihopeihopeihopeihope

you think he ever gets a shot at the 8th inning this year?
robertson has stepped up his game lately but he cant pitch the 8th every single day

I dont want him anywhere near the 8th inning.
Until he proves he can pitch at the major league level the way he was in the minors he shouldn’t be counted on.
I have a great feeling about him!

I am glad that Albaladejo has been called up.
It is long over due and he deserves the opportunity because of how great he pitched at Scranton. What I don’t want to see is the Yankees treat him the way they treat Melancon. They better not do any of this crap where Albaladejo just pitches once this week in a blow out and then gets sent down on Saturday to make room for Mitre. If we have spot where we have a 2 or 3 run lead in the 7th and the starter is done then give Albaladejo a shot. He is a much better option than Chan Ho Park.
That gets me to my next point, on saturday when someone has to go in order to make room for Mitre the right thing to do is to get rid of Chan Ho Park. It is finally time for him to go. he has waste a spot on this roster since he was signed and its time for this crap to go. He is basically getting a free ride on a team that could go back to the World Series and for what reason is Park still here? He has no value because he can’t pitch long relief, he can’t be that jack of trades type reliever and he can’t pitch in close games. The other reason he is the one that needs to go is because we probably need to keep Moseley and Gaudin to pitch long relief. With Mitre in the rotation and Aceves out, two guys are gonna be needed in long relief since we have a lot of the 1-inning type relievers in this pen. Parks time as a Yankee needs to end becuse everytime he pitches he is an embarassment to the franchise.
Embarassment to the franchise?
Harsh. You trust Gaudin and Moseley over Park?
