    I wouldnt make any prediction about glavine and small. The way the yankee games have gone, I wouldnt be surprised if we lose tomorrow and then win sunday. Here's the deal, we started getting hot when everyone was healthy, we start dropping like flies and now we are in trouble. If we get past our series in June no less than 5 games away from you guys, we'll have a good shot. I have to be realistic here, and watching the entire team be injured is frustrating...

    I just thank god it is May. I have no doubts that Mo will get squared away. I am just completely flabbergasted by RJ. He threw rather well against the A's sans inning , then he comes out here with rather good stuff and leaves it all down the middle. How do you walk Jose Reyes? God, this guy is a total enigma.

    we need it to get warm and fast. Our geriatric team cannot handle these raw nights...

    both minor, but bernie pulled up lame on a double and farns back stiffened up after his inning. That is why Mo was sent in without adequate warmups...

    Jeter is okay. Posada had back spasms and may not miss any time. Bernie is going to sit tomorrow as he strainged his ass. Farns is out for tomorrows game with a strained back. We are dropping like flies, and RJ aint helping out. Can anyone say Roger?
  6. TheRivernator
    he'll be back this yr, but the question is, do we want him??

    Lieber is a fugly bastard isnt he?

    Small is a weird situation. Last yr, I remember him blowing up as a reliever (especially game 3 of the alds) but when he started his own messes, he cleaned them up. His problem this yr is that he seems to have lost his balls. The guy has terrible stuff, but he has the guts to throw it up and in at times and keeps hitters honest. This yr, he is leaving everything out over the plate and is getting nailed. If he has confidence in his stuff and decides to take back the inside part of the plate, then he'll be fine. I know he gained some leeway last yr, but I wouldnt be surprised if this is his last chance. The yankees have Mendoza in the minors, and he finally looks like the Mendoza we lost rather than the guy the sox had. We also have a young kid who pitched well for the Nationals last yr in Darrell Rasner, a young sinkerballer. Both of those guys will be up at some point this yr unless Small can hold down his spot. If he screws the pooch again, I wouldnt be surprised if he is cut free....

    Wright belonged out there in the 7th, but he should have been on a short leash. After the HR, he should have been pulled. His subsequent HBP really bit us hard as he later scored. Since he was on base and not out, technically it would have made the game 2-0 at that point instead of 4-0. Torre has the problem of giving his pitchers tons of rope, and that is warranted with some pitchers, but when you are dealing with Wright, it isnt. Wright needs to be watched meticulously, because he is the type of pitcher who could be throwing a no-hitter through 5 then give up 10 runs ithe 6th.

    after one game? Post a guy who has at least played enough to be evaluated on the season...

    Sean Chacon will miss his schedules start on sunday with a bruised shin. An ultrasound was negative and will be expected to make his subsequent start....
  12. TheRivernator
    He's a backup at best. He gives us a guy who can hit MLB pitching, but not very well. H's better than Kevin Reese....
  13. TheRivernator
    Verlander and Zumaya are nasty. I definitely see them wearing yankee pinstripes before they are done...
  14. TheRivernator
    do you have any idea how frustrated you will be when you see a routine grounder get through the hole. Especially when Rollins is the leadoff man?

    Gator also challenged him as he did RJ. Last start, after wright screwed the pooch in inning #1, Guidry came out to the mound and was very animated. He was challenging him, he was probably saying, IF YOU HAVE ANY f***ING BALLS YOU FAIRY YOU WILL TRUST YOUR GODDAMN FASTBALL, HOW BOUT THIS, YOU GIVE ME THE f***ING BALL AND I'LL PUT TOGETHER A BETTER GAME THAN YOU, YOU f***ING PANSY, TAKE OFF YOUR SKIRT, YOU MAKE ME SICK!!!! Maybe I embellished a bit, but I actually got that talking to in college when my coach came to the mound, so why not...
  16. TheRivernator
    well, Wright was nasty today, but Torre left him in too long. Combine a horrible hitting day with bad D and you get a loss. We need to rebound tomorrow. The good part of the pen should be fresh...

    You do not need to K people to be dominating. His pitch count has been great all yr and he has been dominating in his sense. He gets 3+GB per every FB...

    we can live without him. We had a rookie in AAA in Kevin Thompson who we can bring up.....

    and Crosby just pulled a hammy, great...
  23. TheRivernator
    for what its worth, ellsbury and pedroia tore up the lower levels. Pedroia is hitting a wall in AAA, but many players do. Duncan for us is hitting a wall too, it happens...
  24. TheRivernator
    nah, they can scar down over time. If they have to it will be in the offseason....
  25. TheRivernator
    Well he is small in stature as well. You want a SS these days who is tall and can range and has a power arm. Pedroia is a 2b, and should be groomed as one...
