Generation K is completely dead, at long last.

The Most Important Baseball News of the Year

Curtosey of the New York Post: Ex-Yankee pitcher Hideki Irabu – once ridiculed by George Steinbrenner as a “fat, pus-y toad” – was arrested in Osaka, Japan, today for allegedly assaulting a bartender after drinking 20 mugs of beer, a police official said. Irabu, 39, became angered after his credit card was rejected. He allegedly [...]

Hideki’s back so at least I have one thing to live for, even if he won’t make a huge difference.

Pitching Matchups in the Toronto Series (Are Hilarious and Sad)

Tuesday, August 19th Darrell Rasner (5-9, 5.18ERA, 1.522WHIP) vs. A.J. Burnett (15-9, 4.67ERA, 1.422WHIP) Burnett’s numbers are deceiving because he always kills the Yankees. Then again, so does Darrell Rasner. Wednesday, August 20th Andy Pettitte (12-9, 4.30ERA, 1.371WHIP) vs David Purcey (2-3, 5.93ERA, 1.451WHIP) Oh look, a subpar LHP in David Purcey. I know how [...]

Rehab Roundup – August 18th Edition

Carl Pavano – Trenton Thunder- 6IP, 6H, 1R, 1ER, 1BB, 6K Pavano might actually make an appearance with the Yankees this year if things keep going the way they are. It depends on how badly they need a starter and whether his arm is ready or not, of course. Phil Hughes – Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees [...]

List of Yankees Players I Hate At This Moment In Time (In Order)

Damaso Marte – I thought he would be good for the club, as I thought he was a good pitcher. I watched him in Pittsburgh and saw himnot suck but I now realize that is the “NL Central effect”. I miss Farnsworth so much. Bobby Abreu – Bobby, what happened? Your defense has gone from [...]

Back From Vacation

I’m back from my baseball road trip vacation. I hoped to avoid the Yankees being awful during this time, but it was impossible because of pesky scoreboards and the like at ballparks. Here’s Jerome from Manhattan on WFAN about a month ago being insane, no matter how insane I am he is there to help [...]

Panic Ensues

“We don’t think it’s anything serious,” Girardi said. “I’m not really concerned that he’s going to be shut down for a while, but there’s a chance that he’s going miss a start, and we might have to be a little bit creative.” Oh my God he is going to be out forever.

JOBA, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This season is going to make like 90% of Yankees fans kill themselves, I swear.

I’m still not recovered from the Yankees splitting a series with the Angels, it feels like heaven (sort of).
