he also got to face an injured damon, eyechart, melky, and will nieves. aka no matsui and no posada. pitchers have the advantage facing a team for the first time since hitters dont know whats coming Do you think Sox fans care who's in the lineup? It's the Yankees. That's all that matters, just like Yanks fans. If you played our AAA team and Wang threw a no-hitter, there'd be no astrik next to it, you'd boast for months that Wang no-hit the Red Sox...

question is, do red sox fans care in general? could they just throw anyone out there, let them pitch bad and then get cheered off the mound?

and no, i'd def overlook the no hitter if mccarthy and the AAA for lifers were the only ones batting.

If the Yankees had any semblance of a pitching staff (or a refreshed bullpen), the outcomes of these games would be different.

Friday, that was all Rivera. I don't think his arm strength is up to where it needs to be. He's pitched so little this year, that he has had trouble spotting pitches, and it gets hammered. Saturday actually, the pen gave up no runs, the bats just went cold after the 3rd inning.

And we see what's happened tonight. Proctor is exhausted, no way around it. Torre is going to flame him out by Memorial Day at this pace.

This being said, there is no guarantee that any of the injured guys who come back, will help alleviate the problem. The bullpen has pitched almost 6 weeks worth of work in 3 weeks time.

Lastly, I don't think there is anything that special about Boston's starting rotation, at least against the Yankees. All 3 of their big guys got touched up this weekend, and I don't think it's a fluke. The Sox bats kept them in and won them games - credit it to their lineup.

Seriously, at this point, the Yankees need about a week straight of their starts going 6 or 7 innings. Or else, the Yankees pen will be in this condition all summer.

Shit, when they go to Colter Bean to pitch with the big club, you know they're in trouble. I've watched him pitch a lot in AAA. There is a reason why he holds the Yankees' minor league record for appearances.

torre BLEW the friday game. i think he took andy out too early. i'll live with it since proctor got through the inning. but why not keep him in there. everyone knows myers sucks and wont get ortiz out. hell bring in henn over myers to face ortiz like on saturday. then, he pulls giambi out for KT so you lose one of your best hitters in the 9th. then, he brings mo in the 8th which he swore he wouldnt. the 9th torre got butt fucked for subbing giambi... then saturday he goes aheads and puts melky leading off. what a bone head move that is. JOE IT WAS A FLUKE! MELKY ISNT THAT GOOD! Why isnt jeter batting leadoff? hes a better leadoff hitter than damon but thats for another day...

Agreed. You could tell how pissed Pettitte was when Torre took him out after he struck out Ortiz (or was it Drew?). I knew immediately it was a bad decision.

As far as Melky, I'm sorry man, but you are wrong. The kid is 22. If he had spent all of 2006 in AAA, he probably would have led the IL in average, hits and RBI. The kid has loads of talent. Unfortunately he still has huge holes in his swing and little confidence.

Bull. Horrible series. Granted the Yankees had 2 rookies pitching, but the whole management of the bullpen was horrendous.

Well, agree to disagree.

Let's say that the season ended today. What would you have to say about Hafner as far as his total went? He was tied for the 4th most homers of anyone in the leauge. Correct?

Not like it matters that much, because our bet is for the whole season and guys will distance themselves from one another, but whatever.

Not to but in, but saying he finished 4th is implying 3 guys finished ahead of him. That wouldnt be true.

If the entire league hit 6 HRs this year each and your guy hit 5 he would be last, not second.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez's torrid start has reaffirmed his intentions for after this season: He wants to stay in pinstripes.

Rodriguez, whose 14 homers are tied for the most ever in April, said Tuesday that he has no plans to leave the New York Yankees after the season, when the third baseman can opt of his contract.

"I want to stay in New York, no matter what," Rodriguez said in the Yankees' third-base dugout before Tuesday night's game at Tampa Bay.

"I love New York. It's the greatest place for me to play."

Rodriguez is entering the seventh season of his $252 million, 10-year contract, a deal he signed with the Texas Rangers. He can terminate the agreement after the season, forfeit the $81 million owed in the final three years and become a free agent.

"Abilitywise, we certainly want him here," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "Sitting in the middle of our lineup and making the statement he is right now, we certainly don't want him to go anywhere. That's without question. I'd like to believe he's going to be here."

Rodriguez entered Tuesday night's game at Tampa Bay hitting .400 with a league-leading 34 RBIs in 18 games, and he's already matched the record for April homers set by Albert Pujols last year.

When asked if he could explain his start, Rodriguez said simply, "No."

"I know you guys are looking for some profound answers, but I don't have them," Rodriguez said. "I'm having as much fun as I can. I'm trying to keep it simple. Just try to prolong it as long as possible and enjoy it."

Hudson loaded the bases in the 9th with no outs and 110 pitches.

Poor Yankees. Finally get some good pitching from their top prospect and the dude fucks up his hamstring and will miss 4-6 weeks. The dude was tossing a no-no!! And of all the bullpens to hand it over to, the yankees bullpen...oh well.

From Rotoworld...

Phil Hughes is expected to miss 4-6 weeks after straining his hamstring Tuesday in his start against the Rangers.

Incredible. At least the Yankees are getting Mike Mussina back this week, and Hughes showed enough tonight to indicate that he could be of a lot of use after the break. In truth, this injury might have been the best thing for his long-term health, as the Yankees won't be tempted to overuse him to compensate for the shortcomings of the rest of the staff. This means Kei Igawa will likely stay in the rotation following Mussina's return

I'm thinking about offering this trade in an auction keeper league ...

Me: Jimmy Rollins/Ben Sheets
Other Guy: Jose Reyes

I'd be giving up two great players, but my rotation would still be strong with Peavy, King Felix, Sabathia, Hill, Meche and Clemens.

In our league you keep four players, and if you keep them their salary goes up 10% from the previous year. When we auctioned people just threw out names and we bid. Reyes only went for 33 in a league where the cap is 260. because nobody threw him out until everyone had splurged on a couple of big players. For example, by that time I had bid 40 a piece on Vlad and Beltran and 26 on Peavy. Pujols went for about 50 and Johan was in the mid-50s. I got Rollins for 20 and Sheets for 9.

Right now I think I'll probably keep Felix (11), Sabathia (8), Alex Gordon (1) and Rollins/Reyes. So, what do y'all think?

Glad you can see what I mean. Yesterday was the first time a starter of ours went past the 6th - it has been painful to watch. Hopefully Roger can help in keeping our pen fresh. Losing Moose, Wang, Pavano, Karstens, and Hughes (not to mention that Igawa has been downright awful in every appearance except one) in the first month didn't bode well for our staff at all. To even contend we'd probably have to add an arm by the all star break either way - grabbing him now hopefully helps us get to the break without being too far out of the race.

Cool, thank you. I didn't know. I don't follow the Sox roster moves and minor league system like I do the Yanks. I thought they were just about out of options and I am not sure anyone on there would clear waivers either. They'll option Hansack. I'm really not sure why he's still on the big team. He has yet to appear in a game this year. He was our closer of the future until Paps made the call to take that title...

holy shit where did you hear 28 million from? doesnt really matter since its a 1 year deal. After adding Clemens, how can you not say they wont atleast contend for the world series. the rotation is getting healthy and is pretty damn good. the lineup is one of the best in baseball and the pen is starting to even out

I think you are seeing what you want to see, my man.

Well, not saying Drew won't end up with better numbers, but as of right now Nixon and Drew have the same amount of homers and Trot has more RBIs and is batting about 50 points higher.

Haren's the man.Yea, I'm loaded at starter, so I can afford to get rid of Haren. Hanley's the big draw for the trade since the guy is last in our league in steals. Plus, I have Tulowitzki on the bench if Hardy starts to implode...

I was thinking the same thing. Futures are hard to predict with anybody, but especially pitchers. You never know what can break down, ala Mark Prior. Not to say that Johan would do that, but you know what I mean.
Plus Santana is 28, not 24, so a ten year contract would seem even sillier at that point.
But if anyone could do it, it would be the Yanks, if he wanted 10 years just for his own security and to decide his future. If he started to break down later in his career, they could just buy somebody else to take his place.

I'm thinking about offering this trade in an auction keeper league ...

Me: Jimmy Rollins/Ben Sheets
Other Guy: Jose Reyes

I'd be giving up two great players, but my rotation would still be strong with Peavy, King Felix, Sabathia, Hill, Meche and Clemens.

In our league you keep four players, and if you keep them their salary goes up 10% from the previous year. When we auctioned people just threw out names and we bid. Reyes only went for 33 in a league where the cap is 260. because nobody threw him out until everyone had splurged on a couple of big players. For example, by that time I had bid 40 a piece on Vlad and Beltran and 26 on Peavy. Pujols went for about 50 and Johan was in the mid-50s. I got Rollins for 20 and Sheets for 9.

Right now I think I'll probably keep Felix (11), Sabathia (8), Alex Gordon (1) and Rollins/Reyes. So, what do y'all think?

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Oh, and I figured the Yankees would get Clemens. As for the guy who suggested Johan gets a 10-year deal from the Yankees. No way. He's 29 now, and there's no way you sign him to pitch into his 40s at the price he'll command. Plus, signing any pitcher for 10 years at any point of his career would be a stupid move. He could easily get $25 mil a year for 5 years though.

If I was the guy, I wouldn't take it. Sheets is still inconsistent and an injury threat. Reyes is too "take it to the bank and then some". He's got 19 sb's already to Rollins' 8.
