I’m Jones-in for a reason behind this one
Yankees signed Andrew Jones. This wouldve been HUGE 10 years ago. Now its a big question mark. We let Austin Kearns and Marcus Thames walk but we throw 2 million at Andrew Jones? What, was his 2 homer game against up last year that impressive?
Really though-was signing another bat really neccessery?
Seriously, we have the most complete infield in baseball, a pretty solid outfield, and our catchers are currently in the changing-of-the-guard stage. What we really need to throw money at is one more starter, or at the very least sending Andy Pettitte another gift basket with a miss you/thinking of you card attached.
Hell, trade AJ and see what we can get to replace him. Cant be any worse.
I’d rather roll the die with Greg Goslon. Guys already got fielding skills and a killer arm, teach the kid to swing the bat and presto, theres our 4th outfielder.
I guess what with Nick Johnson gone, the Yankees need someone new to frequent the DL.
Just add it to the pile of storylines for the 2011 Yankees:
Will Nova be able to handle an entire season in the rotation?
Will Hughes give us a repeat season?
Which AJ will show up this time?
How badly will we miss Pettitte?
Joba?
Will Sorianos ego stay in the 8th inning?
…and now…
Will the Yankees regret signing Jones?
As the president weeps…
Not even a week removed from their visit to the White House, the Yankees had to deal with the White Sox…the alleged favorite team of the president himself. And what better way to follow the pro-White Sox speech the prez gave at the Yankee championship visit than by beating the Chisox…but not just beat them, spot them 3-0 and 4-2 leads before beating them 6-4.
And how did we beat them? An offensive charge led by our own president, Derek Jeter
…a gritty start by our own speaker of the house, Andy Pettitte
…and the door slammed closed by our own vice-president, Mariano Rivera.
Yeah, any doubts over if we would win that game?
Todays game will be a bit more of an adventure, with Sec of Agriculture, Javy Vazquez on the hill. Our forgien diplomat (Girardi) better start the A lineup, because we’re gonna need every run we can get.
Onto todays game…
Top 1 in New York
Fire up the bomb shelters, Vazquez is pitching!
…Jorge chases a foul ball, tosses his mask away and nails the umpire with it….if we dont get any close calls after this, you’ll know why…
……..and to the complete shock of everyone, Vazquez surrenders a homerun. 1-0 Chicago.
Bottom 1 in New York
Nick Swisher isnt in the lineup…nice.
Somebody told Tex that its now May, and he rips a single to left as a result…
Top 2 in New York
Who had 2nd inning in the Vazquez booing poll?
Vazquez must like an ERA of 9.00, cuz he gave up another run this inning…
Top 3 in New York
The only person bothering Vazquez more than Andrew Jones (2nd home run) is Ozzie Guillen, who made him change gloves.
Bottom 3 in New York
Gardners on 1st base…gentlemen, start your engines…
…thank God its May, another hit for Tex…Gardner scores, 3-1 CWS
…just found out Strasburg is commin to AAA. My butt has got to go see him while I can…
Top 4 in New York
Sergio Mitre in to pitch after yet another Vazquez meltdown. Mitre should be starting, not Vazquez.
Any chance we can put Vazquez on the DL for “depression” or somethin?
Middle of 6 in New York
Mitres showing Vazquez how to pitch as hes been shutting down Chicago…why isnt he the #4 starter?
Middle 2 in Philadelphia
Anyone else notice how much more relaxed Joe Buck sounds when he does a non-Yankee game? Its like there less pain since nop ones twisting his arm to announce his most hated team…
Bottom 7 in New York
Yankees took the lead….Yankees lost the lead. Why? Girardi went to the bullpens version of Vazquez: Robertson. Can someone tell me why Mitre couldnt go beyond 3 innings?
Bottom 4 in Philadelphia
Oh the Mets…gotta love ya. 2 dropped pop liners. Phillies lead 1-0.
Game Over in New York
Why did Mitre leave after 3 shutdown innings of work? The man did come up as a starter, so dont feed me any BS about being tired…instead he left and the mop up reliever comes in and blows our lead…Mitre better be hurt…
I need to end on a good note…
Bottom 7 in Philadelphia
8-0 Phillies over Mets?
Heh, allllllllright…
