A Moose Moment…

Mike, I missed the post game but I think Moose has a legitimate beef.  It’s an early hook, heck can a guy making 10 million freaking go to 100 pitches.  Gee Whiz! 
Oh, and I’m glad Steinbrenner is voicing his displeasure with Torre.  Torre always makes these exceptions when it comes to A-Rod.  He defends everyone [...]

Mark Kriegel is wrong

I read an article written by Mark Kriegel urging Commissioner Selig to declare amnesty for all ballplayers found to have used steroids as the only way Baseball can deal with the tainted home run records and regain credibility.  Wrong. Wrong.  And wrong again. 
The home run records are tainted, yes, but to acknowledge the wrong and [...]

A Moose Moment..

Did anyone see the postgame last night.  Moose was beyond surly.  He normally is a bland and boring interview, he dislikes the process, but last night you could tell he was pissed.  Kim Jones was asking him whether everything went according to plan.  Mussina replied “According to plan? 79 pitches was not the plan.  100 [...]

Do you remember…

Good observation on first base.  I wanted Bernie and have Giambi and Phillips share first base over the winter.  That would have proved to be a mix bag – Bernie could have definitely helped this team in spots and with Giambi hurt, I don’t think Phillips could have handled the job alone and we would [...]

Good line…

I just noticed “when life hands you clemens” in the side bar. Good one!

Do you remember…

A few short months ago at least a few of us Roundtablers were leaning toward keeping Bernie Williams and cutting one of the first basemen, where the Yanks looked to be overstaffed. Now we are down to Miguel Cairo playing first. That sure is not a good long term plan. Are the gods punishing the [...]

Good signs

Centerfielder
 
Other than good pitching performances and timely hitting the most significant development in the Chicago series was the fact that the Yankees won with Melky in CF.  Besides the fact that his bat is coming to life he is much better than Damon.  He has better range and a much better arm, which is a [...]

I think we’ve got the wrong brother

Mark Sweeney is on the Giants – and the Yanks would be better off with me at first (no joking).  Mike Sweeney is on the Royals and was once a good offensive player (injury prone).  It’s not a bad idea – we could probably get him cheap in terms of talent and pick up his [...]

There’s gonna be a Mark on First Base

You heard it here first: Mark Sweeney will get traded from the KC Royals to the Yankees to play first base.
 

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Good: Abreu coming out of his slump, A-Rod continued clutch hitting, Moose pitching well for 6 innings, Rivera ( still the man)
Bad: Moose hitting a wall at 80 pitches (or at least Torre thinks so), Torre’s relief pitching decisions (Where was Bruney?)
Ugly: Meyers (He should be released) Farnsworth (Should be relegated to mop up [...]
