2013 Yankees in-game thread

[jacksonianmarch]

I havent been this unexcited about the start of a season in a long time. Maybe it has to do with my life at home, maybe it has to do with the team being f***ing injured or maybe it has to do with the fact that instead of replacing or re-signing our talent, we signed the injured portion of the 2006 AL All Star team. Game 1 couldnt have been worse. Our lone bright spot offensively was provided by a AAAA catcher getting a little single with the sacks packed after Nix sucked nuts prior to him. Before and after that one moment, this team had no f***ing life. I hope that they decide to come out to play on Wednesday. This isnt a team with the makeup or the talent as of right now to take a big deficit and chip away to make it a lead late. This is a team that needs its pitching to be perfect, and CC sucked today

You need more E's and even some A's. Allow me.

THAAAAAAAAAAAA YANKEEEEEEEEEES LOOOOOOOOOOSE.

 

That's better. :thumbsup:

[Whiteandnerdy42]

Yeah, CC kinda sucked; and how about Joba the Hutt? Another great performance for him. Sorry your boys are too fragile and old to do s*** on the field.

The Yankees have been due for a down year for a long time. Their offseason and their spring training, in combination, were amazingly disastrous. Still we're only one game in, and guys will be coming back. Nova will be a key guy for them this year. Is Pineda expected back anytime soon?

Pineda has been throwing well in his side sessions. He should start a rehab assignment in May and is expected to be fully ready come June. I anticipate the Yankees will hold him back a bit and wait until he is completely ready.

I know we'd been due for a rough yr, but with the pitching returning, I thought we'd hold off father time for one more yr. I still might be right, but when you lose Martin and Swisher via FA, then ARod, Tex, and Granderson for a long while, you're kinda up s***'s creek. And now with Derek out, who knows when we'll actually see our full lineup. This team is going to have to play .700 ball when they're all back to contend.

Hal Steinbrenner is living up to his early promise as a cold-hearted business guy like I hoped he would.

 

In the 'old days' if the Yankees let go of a power bat like Swisher they'd replace it with another one.

He may be a cold hearted business guy, but if you thought the pink hats were bad, just wait to see what the pink pinstripers will pull. If this team shows no signs of life come mid May, Yankee Stadium will be a ghost town. The money he'd lose from revenue will make the rebate and lux tax money saved look like pocket change.

He's probably in the same boat as Ruby De La Rosa right now in that he's going to need a few months to build up his pitch counts/innings so he's not a 4-5 IP pitcher when he comes back up.

Unfortunately, we all know that after seeing the Yankees do poorly for a year, the organization will spend big this offseason and say screw the luxury tax.

3/4 of them probably left in the top half of the 9th.

Cano just fired Boras as his agent. Crazy.

What's even crazier is he hired Jay-Z as his new agent.

[BSN07]

What's even crazier is he hired Jay-Z as his new agent.

 

That's probably the best news Yankees fans have had all year.

 

Boras must be inconsolable right now.

He's probably wiping his tears with hundred dollar bills.

Ken Rosenthal posted the same exact picture on twitter. I couldn't belive how empty the stadium was.

Hank and Hal have had winners every yr since George relinquished control sans 2008. 2008 was understandable since we lost so many players in season. This yr, before the hot stove even turned on, we lost ARod and then during the hot part we essentially traded Swisher and Martin for Youkilis. They came into camp with almost no margin for error, then Tex and Grandy go down and Jeter is taking awhile. They don't have the players to make up for that right now and lots of fans are down on them. I've said it before, but come the end of May, if we're 15 games out, YS will be a ghost town an Hank and Hal would be fools not to infuse money again. I know the Yankee payroll set a new record this yr, but it just might not be enough. And to consider paring another $42 million from this club would be eviscerating to the talent level

Sounds a lot like the Sox putting a lot of money into Crawford and Gonzalez only to fail.

Tell that to every single other team that has won a World Series since about, oh, 1903. Turns out spending a metric shitton of money doesn't always make you the best team. Red Sox fans, and fans of literally every other team in baseball have been trying to point this out to obnoxious Yankees fans in bars and stadiums for longer than I've been alive. Could it be you're finally listening?

[jacksonianmarch]

This team sucks moosecock

[Divinity]

Of course, no Jeter, Tex, A-Rod, etc.

[jacksonianmarch]

They look dead, akin to how they looked in the ALCS. This is looking like a bad hangover

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

One of your best posts.

[VA Sox Fan]

Are they starting pitchers now?

 

No time table on Jetes or Tex.

 

Arod is done, needs to retire.

[Youk Of The Nation]

...and they're pretty terrible at baseball, too.

The starters let us down, no doubt. I anticipate that they'll get their s*** together. But just like in the playoffs, our starters have to be near perfect or else we lose. Our hitting sucks ******* right now and it doesn't even look like the team has any urgency or even any fire. By the time our full team returns, we might be in position for a protected pick. We need a spark. I hope Pettitte can turn it around tonight and give us something positive going into a buzzsaw in detroit

If Kuroda hadn't gotten hurt, the Yankees might have won. All I'm saying...

What the Yankees need to worry about is losing their fanbase. Red Sox Yankee tickets shouldn't be going for $20 on Stubhub, and no stadium should ever be as empty as YS was last night. This is a franchise whose fans have forgotten what it feels like to be a loser, and it doesn't seem like they're going to be particularly tolerant. One of my Yankee friends has already given up on the team and is rooting for the Natonals, appropriate huh?
