How long does Tito stay with Aardvark?

Girardi is really stretching out Duseldorf.

Tito is giving Dice K too much rope

I would much rather have him pitch to contact. It's the only thing that keeps his pitch count reasonable.

The book is closed on Hughes -- 2 innings 7 ERs. That's 31.50 ERA. I recommend patience. He needs to find himself.

Another wild pitch on a cross up that scores a run. Rookie ******* mistakes. Keep bringing in the Rookies, Joe. Cashman, keep giving him rookies.

Is that a QS for Hughes? lol!!! Gotta love rookies in a rotation for a team with the highest payroll in baseball. We were high 5 ing in my house when the Yankees missed out on Santana.

Nice recovery after the leadoff walk and the 3-1 count to Posada.

Big comeback after going 3-1.

I hate when Dice-K starts nibbling around.

39 pitches for Hughes in the first inning. What will he do against our lineup with a post-slump Papi and Lowell. We'll just slap him silly.

Santana may not be invincible, but he blows away Hughes and Kennedy.

Drew could have crawled home on Damon's arm

That's it. Keep pitching to Manny. He's losing his battle with age. lol!!!

No chance at getting Ellsbury there. Plus we get a base extra bonus.

Nice around the horn DP started by Youk and turned by Pedroia.

No, I am referring to the Colon that has won a Cy Young in 2005 with 146 wins and a .606 winning %. WHat has Igawa done?

He was very good last night, but not dominant. The Red Sox got some very good swings and made a lot of good contact. If he threw that way in June, he'd have given up 3 or 4 runs.

Remind me. I thought we tied for the division lead despite having lost Pedro, Lowe, and Cabrera from the Championship team and replacing them with Matt Clement, David Wells and Rent-a-wreck. This time around everyone is returning.

The back end of the Red Sox rotation is better than the Yankees now, and the Sox have the possibility of adding Colon very soon and Schilling in the second half. While I don't expect to see a productive Schilling, I do expect Colon to be a very nice addition to the back end of the rotation. The Yankees have nothing to add to the rotation outside of a trade, except Joba, and that would take a wrecking ball to your bullpen. As for the Sox pen, in addition to the Papelbon and Okajima at the end of the pen, MDC is better than anything the Yankees have leading up to Joba. Similarly, Timlin is still a very reliable member of the pen and with his experience, he to is better than anything the Yanks have except for Mo and Joba. Although Lopez is a puss bag, he is way better than Billy Traber who is completely useless. Finally, the head case Tavarez has good versatility and eats a good deal of innings. Occasionally, he has a good outing. His versatility alone makes him more valuable than thos two s*** bags Farnsworth and Latroy Hawkins.

I saw him in Spring Training. He threw free and easy. His long tosses were something that you don't see too many pitchers do. He stands in front of the wall in dead center field and long tosses to almost the foul line, and he is not lobbing the ball. He is gunning it. In the game that I saw, he had excellent velocity on his fastball and he was burying his slider. If his arm stays healthy, I'd rather have him as my #4 or 5 than Moose, Hughes or kennedy this year.
