Worried About Mo? The Question We Don't Want To Ask, Or Answer

in New York Yankees News
Email
PrintIf you are in the Northeast, I know you are looking for reasons to stay indoors and get out of the sweltering heat. So, let's look around the Inter-Google for some New York Yankee news and notes.
- In the wake of Mariano Rivera's decision to skip the All-Star Game, Chad Jennings asks the question none of us really want to think about -- "Is there reason to be concerned"? The 40-year-old has side and knee injuries he has apparently been pitching through (and pitching brilliantly). Let's hope, no, let's pray, that Manager Joe Girardi is right when he says "it's nothing serious." Face it, no Mo, no 28th World Series title in 2010.
- Gotta love the way Alex Rodriguez is swinging the bat. Two home runs and five RBI Tuesday night, pushing him to 597 (see the 'Countdown to 600' widget we have launched on the right sidebar), but I really wish he hadn't done that to me last night. A-Rod hit his first A-Bomb and I figured I better hurry up and create the 'Countdown' widget, since I had been intending to. Then, soon-to-be-50-year-old that I am I turned off the computer, got ready for bed, went to shut off the TV and -- bam!! -- another A-Bomb. You're costing me sleep, there Alex.
- Jorge Posada just seems like a guy with a 'hit me' target on his hand these days. He took another foul ball off his already injured left hand Tuesday night. This time, though, he appears to have escaped further injury.
- As I write this, Nick Swisher is back in front of Kevin Youkilis in the All-Star Voting. Get to MLB.com and vote for Swish.
- Great piece of work from Jeff Freier over at SB Nation New York. His 'Favorite Little People' is a look at some of his favorite 'small-ish' baseball players in New York baseball history. It's a fun read.

Swish!
PSA is the reason he’s back out in front, I’m convinced! Even Red Sox AND Red fans combined cannot put Youk in the ASG

I'm Not Worried about Mo
No, he’s not going to pitch forever – but he knows how to take care of himself, and I trust his judgment. It’s not like he’s been lousy this year – quite the opposite! A week off does a body good, and then it’s back to work.
Yes, for younger fans it will be a rude awakening when (hopefully after another couple of stellar seasons) he finally decides to hang ‘em up. There are Yankee fans in college who literally can’t remember a time when Mo wasn’t the closer! I’m just grateful to have been able to see him nail down so many over the past 15 years. Have a great week off, Mo – at least Paps isn’t there to screw us out of home field advantage in Mo’s absence!

Yes. If Papelbon made the team, it would have been a joke.

Papelbons ERA is near 4. There is no way he is an allstar of any kind. He is in a decline at this point in his career. The Sox got four good years out of him, its time to pass the torch to Bard.

don't know how you could be a fan
of someone who has to load the bases every time before he gets the save- and thats when he’s at his best.
VOTE FOR SWISHER!!!!!
not really
although in ’96 I was 9 years old, not following as much as I do now.
But thinking about it, I didn’t like him.
VOTE FOR SWISHER!!!!!
How about the Rockies scoring 9 in the 9th last night?
Unbelievable. Shame on whoever left that game!

I think Rivera wants the 3 days off more than anything else, and saying he has a strained (fill in the blank) is a little more PR friendly than the truth.
who is going to replace him?
If its Papelbon I’ll blow my head off.

OTM is actually a great community with tons of knowledgeable posters. They just don’t appreciate being trolled by rival fans. And let’s face it, neither do we.
Questions or thoughts? Email me at duggan2423(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh Lord!
I understand the nod to a fellow blogger — but HH is not a community — it is a closed-circuit cult incapable of tolerance for anything that hints at alternative view. And I’m not talking about trolling.
Anyway, as long as that lasts they will forever be head-buried hermits, bound to the ground by the nonsensical whines that make them sound more ridiculous than any of the other MLB blogs. (Witness the stuff re: Yanks, ESPN, Weaver, or anything to do with last year’s “umpiring” while we whacked them in the ALCS. Embarrassing stuff — like watching soccer players writhe in agony after a World Cup shirt tug. Puh-leez.)
Anyway — I understand where you are coming from. So out of respect for you I’m not going over there right now to get banned by the Dear Leader.
I said Over The Monster was a great community. I will give no such hat tip to Halos Heaven or Rev Halofan.

Swisher can thank us for being back in first place!
But we definitely need to do what we did yesterday today.
who cares about the all star game
nit a big fan of the all star game so i think mo did the right thing by backing out. get healthy for the second half instead of participating in the mid-season carnival. Too much risk for injury for all the top players in this game anyway.
The yankees really need to think about moving posada to the permanent dh role. He can still play everyday and give cervelli and tex a day off in the field here and there. this guy cant avoid getting hurt behind the plate this year, and we want him healthy for the remainder of this big contract.

You’re right, Girardi isn’t the sharpest pencil lol
However, if he picked ANY player over Rodriguez or Sabathia, I’m sure that would have gone over well in the clubhouse! Weaver did get snubbed though, no question about it. Thankfully he’ll get his shot and you guys will get your 2nd player to the game.

I’ve never really been a Girardi fan because I didn’t agree with much of the moves he made in the beginning of the year. Not too many complaints recently though about him. I’m sure we were all saying he’s amazing when the Yankees missed the playoffs in 2008 though, right?

I want to talk to them about Jared Weaver without them kicking me out. It also sets up for the future if I want to discuss a game or something so they know I’m not trolling. But yeah alright!!

You know there are two
gay guys over there.
Just saying. Nothing wrong with it.
Especially in California.
I'll tell you what I like about soccer
They start the games right on time. It was a 2:30 scheduled start, and I turned on ESPN at 2:31, and I’d already missed a minute of play. Of course, ESPN did an hour-long pre-game, but they had a 2:30 scheduled start, and they started at 2:30 – not like the 7:00 starts in baseball that actually start at 7:07 (and don’t even get me started on nationally televised games, or post-season games).

Imagine if baseball ended the 9th with a tie, and then instead of extra innings

I like my solution
After 120 mins if the game is tied you pull both goalies. After 2 mins you pull a defender on each team, so on and so forth until it becomes mano a mano. THAT would be exciting.

there are many things to dislike about soccer
And that’s a good one to start with. A home run derby isn’t even the best comparison – at least batters are always trying to hit the ball in baseball. Having a penalty kick (outside of the tie-breaking scenario) seems pretty rare in soccer. It’d be more like having a contest throwing guys out at home plate from the outfield. Which would be pretty cool, in its own right.

You mean you would rather
have the “on-time” start and the bogus “what just happened? Why are people walking off the field?” ending that comes with every soccer game rather than a real game clock?
What the hell is “Extra Time” anyway?
I hate joining other SB sites...
I joined the Phillies one, and they gave me shit for being a Yankees fan and what-not.
Also called me classless…this coming from the site that made a list of people they hate AND started calling Yankees fans “mutants” after the WS.

the pulling out is excellent
the minor back injury is a little worrisome. Unless it’s a made-up injury because he said yes without consulting Long or Girardi, and now wants to bow out gracefully.

more info on Cano (from Mark Feinsand)
Apparently, he’s been getting treatment for the past couple of days, though the injury obviously isn’t serious enough to keep him out of the lineup. Gene Monahan spoke up about his fear of Cano aggravating the injury in the HR Derby, so Cano backed out.

Two questions:

Also, what happened to being able to vote for Heath Bell of SD in the NL? Not that I care that much, just curious….
he's an injury replacement for Yovani Gallardo

Not sure.
First they said 27 of 37 were rescued, and 10 were being looked for. Now they’re saying 2 are missing.
So whichever story is correct, it doesn’t look like everybody has been accounted for yet.

Yes, and after spending nearly $5.5 million on his farm, the soil became diseased and unable to yield crops until well after midway through the planting season.
Well let’s hope the soil yields twice as many crops as usual after the midway mark.

In regards to Lebron James...
How incredibly rude would it be if Lebron went on national TV and told Cleveland he was leaving? That’d be a nice way to repay the franchise that brought him up! aka SLAP.

Any way you slice it, it’s going to suck for Cleveland if he leaves. I’m sure part of this stage-managed event will be nice words for Cleveland fans, not that nice words will take the sting off. But it’s not like doing it any other way will make Cleveland fans feel good about it.

but its a bad comparison with the Knicks and Yanks.
The Knicks have been run into the ground by idiots for years. And its not even money, they had the worst team $110 million could buy for chrissakes.
