Kyle Farnsworth signed with the Rays today, which has made a lot of Yankees fans happy because of his uneven time with the team. I don’t think that it is a bad signing for Tampa as he is really there for depth (he’s something like 5th on their reliever totem pole I’d think) and he …
The year is over, now I never have to see this again: Of course, I thought that the last time too.

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” …

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 …
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 …
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 …
