Andy Pettitte, after getting screwed by his defense in the first inning (haha Yankees defense haha), goes 5 strong innings afterward and is at about 100 pitches. Joe Girardi–after insane bullpen machinations the last few games–brings him out for another inning in a close (4-2) game. Andy Pettitte, being tired, doesn’t pitch very well. Oh, [...]

Watching Sidney Ponson pitch baseball games for the Yankees is probably the most painful thing in a season of painful things.
Relocation Process, Initial Thoughts
I got my information about the relocation stuff at Yankee Stadium and it’s got me incredibly nervous that I will have neither of my current plans when all things are said and done. I guess that’s what they want you to feel and it’s working. I have two plans currently, a Friday Night (F) plan [...]
Celebrating The World’s Best Cranky Old Man
Win number 17 for Mike Mussina is in the books, the dream of 20 is all but dead but might as well pile on as many as you can! A good outing, second run came off two consecutive doubles when Joe Girardi decided to try and Andy Pettitte him to death and brought him back [...]

Unclutch History Maker
The replay rule was enacted in part because of a bad call on what should have been an Alex Rodriguez homerun against the Orioles and tonight an Alex Rodriguez homerun became the first to be reviewed! I was watching the game on YES, which showed pretty clearly it was fair (Al Leiter and Ken Singleton [...]
Completely Ridiculous Yankees Pitching Matchup Theatre
If the Rays can’t get to Rasner then…well, they should be ashamed of themselves.
Now That Is Some Horrible Pitching
Sometimes, I think this team’s Front Office just gave up after Chien-Ming Wang got hurt. While I agree with the decision to keep Phil Hughes on AAA working everything out, you can’t keep both Darrell Rasner and Sidney Ponson in the rotation as long as they have been and expect to win enough games to [...]
He Just Doesn’t Want To Go
Much better than that poor thing that was on the foul pole last year at Yankee Stadium.
Windy with a chance of dingers.
