Time to change the punch power pizzazz how about “Bargain Basement Bombers?”

Ladies and Gentlemen, Your New York Yankees.

Here’s the lineup for today.

Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Juan Miranda DH
Brett Gardner LF
Ramiro Pena 3B
Chad Moeller C

Let that sit in for a moment.  The bottom four in the Yankee lineup are Jaun Miranda, Brett Gardner, Ramiro Pena and Chad Moeller.  Ugh.

Russ – Stop watching the Mets

and take that orange and blue tie off.

Jerry Manuel is a better manager than Joe Girardi

The Mets are by far the more interesting story right now.   And, Jerry Manuel is a better manager.  He’s doing more with less and the guys are playing hard for him.  That still doesn’t make what they did to Willie Randolph right, but Jerry is just better right now.  He’s willing to try things, and [...]

A-Rod, etc.

He has that look about him, not producing at the plate with men on base and uncomfortable in his own skin. We have all seen the look I’m talking about. SNAP OUT OF IT ALEX.
Did you guys see the bite out of Kim Jones’s pork chop on a stick?  Live TV at its finest. I guess [...]

Resumed Game

Well, we had a rain suspension yesterday. That would have never happened in the old awful baggie Metrodome. Question – the game is being resumed in the 6th inning – is that because last night went 5 full scoreless innings, or are all rain delays less than five innings now resumed from the point where the [...]

All Right, Enough with the silence!

CRASH! BAM! CLANK! That’s me turning over the buffet table.
SLAM! SLAM! SLAM! SLAM!  That’s me kicking over some folding chairs.
“Everyone in the shower!  Whoever is not in the shower in 5 seconds is going to get fined!  You guys are a disgrace!  You lolligag down to first base!  You lolligag the ball around the infield!  [...]

Not even a C- grade for CC

Sabathia was a one man “ inject life into Jason Bay’s dormant bat” project manager last night. I was at the game, it’s notable how many couples are one NYY/one Mets fan and groups four or five guys broken down to two or three guys wearing NYY stuff, the rest Mets.  Our group was three NYY, three Mets [...]

“Rays” gunned us

Yeah, they shot us up pretty good last two games. We couldn’t beat Bostonthe first half of last year either but recovered. What I saw from the Rays was impressive though.  We need some regulars to recover from injuries and stay healthy (Captain Obvious).
Posada has to crouch hundreds of times a game as a catcher. Even [...]

Marcus Thames=Dumbest Baseball player I’ve ever seen.

We all knew he was a terrible defensive outfielder and that his whole reason for existing on this roster was that he mashes lefties and could conceivably be a decent pinch-hitter against lefty relievers, but did anyone really believe that he was this dumb?  How do you step on your own bat?  Dope.
