As I watched last night’s game against the Pirates…the following random thoughts came to mind:

Wow Sabathia is really….overweight. Are those the biggest uniform pants available?
I’ve never seen a more sloppy Yankee than Sabathia. And yes, that includes David Wells.
Wow Sabathia is really….good. He is imposing on the mound. And his breaking stuff can be filthy. [...]

This is why I love the Roundtable.  I had every confidence someone would come up with something suitable for Posada.  Good one, Joe. 
As for Rivera – Mike that was great.  That’s exactly the kind of player (and person) we have.  Rivera listened to his coach (gave respect), knew he didn’t have all the answers (was [...]

Architectural reviews of Yankee Stadium and Citi Field (a.k.a. Taxpayer Field, Bailout Park, or The TARP).  Generally, the review of Yankee Stadium is pompous but fits in the neighborhood; Citi Field – A theme park in a parking lot surrounded by chop shops and highways.

And Rivera looked great getting a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts.  He reached 93 mph.  Not bad for his first outing.  The guy is amazing.

Last night we were rewarded with our patience with Matsui.  Not that it counts or anything, but he hit a two run double and a two run homer.  For some – results in spring training are no big deal but what’s important here is what I said yesterday – Hideki looks good at the plate [...]
