July 30th vs Anaheim
Optimist replied to riverside sluggers's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Ortiz is going to hit a 7 run walk off HR. I can see it now. Edit: Or strike out swinging....whatever... -
I imagine they'll have Matsui DH for some time.
-
He's not taking Melky's job.
-
Yeah, but he's spent a lot of time in the farm system and made his major league debut with the Yankees.
-
First, I wouldn't put Matsui in that category. He wasn't going to play for any other team in this country. Now, let's take a look at the players from the farm on the 25 man roster. Mo Rivera (Closer) Chien-Ming Wang (Second best pitcher in rotation) Jorge Posada (Everyday catcher) Derek Jeter (Everyday SS) Andy Phillips (Everyday 1B ) Melky Cabrera (Everyday LF) Bubba Crosby Bernie Williams (Everyday RF, prior to Abreu deal) Scott Proctor (Bridge in Bullpen) T.J. Beam That's more than a lot of the teams out there.

You have to attribute some of that to the constant trade rumors and contract issues.
-
No, because what you said isn't true.
-
Exaggerate much?
-
65 RBI? 61 Runs? 20 Stolen Bases? .320 Avg w/ RISP? Not to forget what he'll do for our outfield defense.
-
Money's not an issue with the Yankees. If you look at what they gave up and what they're getting, you have to admit this is a good deal. Keep telling yourself that.
-
Yeah, I don't see what's not to like about this deal.
-
I'm shocked.
-
If the Toronto series wasn't enough to make Cashman pull the trigger on a deal, today's game should be.
-
Torre better give Giambi his pay check or something.
-
Yeah, Joe said that only Proctor was unavailable (and we saw how that went.)
-
GIAMBI! (I just made the weirdest noise when I realized that ball was gone.)
-
Tying run on base.
-
Great way to end the inning. Too bad Torre already coughed up the lead.
-
WOW.
-
Yup.
