Yankees: No Rest for the Weary
Filip Bondy:
More than two months into the season, Joe Girardi looks a lot like Joe Torre. Girardi, too, will always go first and often to his old reliables, before foraging elsewhere on the bench or in the bullpen.
…Girardi arguably has overused his core players, the ones who still remember what it feels like to win [...]
Johhny Damon’s Arm (and other Yankee observations)
It’s been two and a half years since the Yankees signed Johnny Damon to fill their hole in center field (a signing, remember, that Damon never gave the Red Sox a chance to match). Damon became a short term solution as he was switched to left just a year and a half later.
Damon’s been [...]
Only in Bizarro World
After Mike Mussina allowed only one run in six innings tonight Peter Abraham asked:
So, does Moose follow Cliff Lee in the All-Star Game?
Well, considering Mussina ranks somewhere around 25th in the league in ERA, 20th in WHIP, and coming into tonights game opposing batters were hitting .286 (286!) against him, I’ll go out on a [...]
Johnny Damon Loves Excuses
After a recent loss to the Cleveland Indians Johnny Damon gave this quote:
“We’re OK. Nothing has got in our way. With the number of injuries we’ve had and the bounces not going our way, we still have our heads up. When all is said and done, we’re going to get back to normal.”
I’ll skip the [...]
Big Numbers Confuse Bill Madden
WasWatching.com: Yanks Don’t Understand Watson’s Take On Farnsworth
Maybe they should send Bob Watson a clip from Bill Madden’s column today? This part:
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, since 2002 Yankee batters have been hit 69 times by Red Sox pitchers as opposed to 48 Red Sox hit by Yankee hurlers. But the figures are even [...]
Joba Chamberlain Gets First Career Loss
Joba Chamberlain gets first career loss:
Joba Chamberlain’s career had been as close to perfect as possible over his first 26 games, but the hard-throwing phenom suffered his first big-league loss Thursday night, giving up the winning run in the ninth inning in the White Sox’s 7-6 victory.”
In the 8th inning Chamberlain looked unhittable. In the [...]
Joe Posnanski: Way more than you wanted on retired numbers
Way more than you wanted on retired numbers:
Whew. I’m not going to lie to you; when I mocked the notion of the Yankees retiring Paul O’Neill’s number, I was not fully aware of just what kind of jersey-retiring fetish they have going there in the Bronx. I mean, hey, I was a huge Ron Guidry [...]
Joe Posnanski: I’m sorry? This is a joke, right?
Joe Posnanski
I’m just in awe. I am. And then I read that Jeter and others may be trying to get Paul O’Neill’s number RETIRED? Has the world gone mad?Is there some sort of flu going around the Bronx? Will they retire Bernie Williams number since he was a better player? How about Tino’s number? You [...]
