Bobby V. Loves Attention

Did you hear his latest quotes about the Jeter flip-play:
We’ll never practice that.  And I think he’s out of position.  And I think the ball gets [baserunner Jeremy Giambi] out if [Jeter] doesn’t touch it, personally.
That was amazing that [Jeter] was there.  I bet it’s more amazing that he said [...]

And then there were….

The cat is out of the bag on Mariano, enjoy the last year as we won’t pass this way (Closer Nirvana) again.
Of the core four Pettitte left with  just a  little left in the tank, Jorge not even that much. But if Mariano has a final year giving even 80% of what he produced last year, to [...]

Off-Season Losses

Apparently, we won’t have Kim Jones roaming random stadia this season.  According to an article  in Newsday that I missed, Kim Jones did not renew her contract with YES.  I guess the YES talent acquistion team needs to find some new eye candy, preferably one a litte sweeter tasting than Ms. Jones.
Update: Nomaas.com suggests that [...]

A.J. Trade Rumor!!

Ok.  How about a real Yankees story worth talking about.  Acording to ESPN the Yankees have been trying to trade A.J. Burnett this off-season and are far along in the process with the Pittsburgh Pirates.  There were apparently 4 teams involved in the Burnett trade talks, but one of them was on Burnett’s “veto” list [...]

Lin-sanity!

A nice sample now, and Lin still looks like the real deal.  Now the real question:  Does he make Carmelo better or does Carmelo make him worse? Team play has been a big thing.  Will everyone stand around and watch Melo again when he’s back.  We’ll find out soon. I feel Stoudemire won’t be a [...]

More excitment

Yankees picked up Russel Branyan and Bill Hall.  Anyone following the Knicks and this Harvard kid Jeremy Lin?  Wouldn’t it be nice if he’s the real deal?

Exciting

Yanks looking at Damon, Matsui, Ibanez. Hmmm. Think I’ll just watch my DVR’ed Super Bowl XLVI game again.
Kim Jones left YES – that story has more interest than the above!

If he is off….

…. on the cheatin’ side of town, Brian Cashman should have scouted his off-season call-up partner a little more, probably not have even drafted her.
You could take this anywhere with baseball analogies.

Texiera

So Texiera now says he will try to bunt against the shift.  What a revelation.  Only took him 4 years in pinstripes to make that decision.   He’s still not 100% committed, saying… that if he is one for twenty in bunting he’ll have to go back to the drawing board. What confidence!
