Good Riddance 2008
The year is over, now I never have to see this again: Of course, I thought that the last time too.
Chris Britton Is An Absolutely Terrible Pitcher
- C. Britton relieved D. Robertson – G. Velazquez grounded out to first – J. Ellsbury doubled to deep left – J. Lowrie doubled to deep right center, J. Ellsbury scored – C. Carter walked – G. Kottaras struck out swinging – J. Van Every tripled to deep right, C. Carter and J. Lowrie scored [...]
Well At Least The Bullpen Has Two Mop-Up Guys Now
I don’t even really know how Billy Traber and Chris Britton got back into the bullpen, but at least the Yankees have some mop-up men who are not afraid to allow runs, right? Ponson is so bad and it’s finally really caught up to him, I don’t think he’ll be having any BABIP induced “good” [...]
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 [...]
Pull The Trigger Already!
Buster Olney is reporting that the Yankees are looking at Jarrod Washburn. Meh, he’s not the answer to any woes so why is this a big deal? Because allegedly it would be for Kei Igawa (and some random lower level prospect). Kei Igawa will never be useful, ever, in MLB for the Yankees. Major League [...]
Eric Milton Returns (Oh God)
From Chad Jennings’ SWB Yankees Blog: Eric Milton was added to the Triple-A roster late Monday night and immediately placed on the disabled list. All of it was retroactive to Saturday. There are now like a billion starting pitchers on the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre roster, including Russ Ohlendorf who they have got doing starting work until he [...]
Yankees/Mets – Game 1
The only things I am willing to discuss about this game right now are: Man wearing a Kaz Matsui jersey–why would anyone spend money on this? If you spent money on it, why wear it out of the house ever? David Wright’s incredibly horrible shoes: LaTroy Hawkins needs to be DFAd and Russ Ohlendorf needs [...]
Not Exactly What I Was Hoping To See Under “Probable Pitchers”
Ugh, it’s official: I know they’re hoping to capture some of the “hot streak” Ponson had in a bottle and there is no Roger Clemens to sign this year but I feel this is going to be an absolute disaster. Is there any way to heal Chien-Ming Wang faster because I miss him so much [...]
Summary of LaTroy Hawkins’ Most Recent Appearance, In Pictures
I don’t really have the words in me to explain my frustration and anger at this game, so make due with a picture.
