[AlioTheFool]

I really hate those left coast trips. Why can't they at least play day games?

[typeOnegative13NY]

should be partly cloudy in the 50s for tonights game

[ShadeTree#55]

Quite the pitching mismatch for tonight. Not looking good for the Yanks.

Details are lacking at this point but word is that Carl Pavano will not make his start tomorrow night because of an arm problem. Darrell Rasner will start in his place.

Obviously this hardly comes as surprising news given Pavano’s long history of injuries since he signed with the Yankees.

More on this once we speak to Joe Torre and the Rajah himself.

[Drew]

Shocking..

Unreal.

He does good, and then goes down. :sad:

Especially with the starters NY ran into...Yes the Yankee lineup is great, but those are 3 very good pitchers...

I would like for Kei to step it up against a decent lineup in a pitchers park.

[Don]

Haren doesn't worry me. Actually, nothing about Oakland worries me. Now watch us get swept.

If that's true and we have 3 starters down, we are history. What would that leave us, Pettitte and Igawa?...lol

[Don]

Personally I don't believe it until the sports sites report it. And I can't believe they wouldn't be all over it if it were true.

[All Star]

It's true, Torre said it on WFAN........

[Don]

It's true, Torre said it on WFAN........
Well then, let him pitch with a bad arm anyway. What does it matter? Not like he will lose any more time then the year if he does. I doubt anyone would care much if he was totally ruined because of it. We might get 10 million back if he is.

[Don]

Now it's on the sports sites.

The New York Yankees pushed back Carl Pavano's next start, scheduled for Saturday, for three days due to soreness in his forearm.

Darrell Rasner will work the second game of a three-game series against the Oakland A's instead, working on five days rest after his five-run outing in 4 1-3 innings against Baltimore on Sunday. Andy Pettitte will pitch, as scheduled, Sunday afternoon against Oakland.

The Yankees trainers are telling the front office that Pavano's soreness is likely a "soft-tissue issue," not a ligament issue.

I still say let him pitch with it anyway. Can you imagine Cy Young saying "my arm is a little sore". I want to take the next week off.

[EcKo151]

Igawa is dealing! 5IP 1 hit, 1 R, 0 ER...

3-1 Yankees While they have bases loaded NOBODY out with Dougie up...

[EcKo151]

Dougie grounds into a double play but the run scores...

Posada on 3rd with Melky up, 2 outs.

4-1 NY

[EcKo151]

And Igawa serves up a 2-run blast by Chavez...

4-3 Yanks.

[MisterMoss]

Piazza has had a nice couple of weeks so far.

[EcKo151]

I'm disgusted with Farnsworthless...His inconsistency kills me!

Swisher ties it up 4-4...Great.

[The Future]

It's 1:53 AM in the East Coast. I am really tired, and it's going into the bottom of the 11th.

Thank God it's Saturday, today.

[The Dark Knight]

A-Rod needs to homer in the 12th or atleast get on base.

That is if there is a 12th.

[The Future]

Way to Farnsworth, way to go!
Way to Farnsworth, way to go!

:sad:

[AlioTheFool]

I didn't even bother to try to stay up. Good, since it didn't work out anyway.

Bad news of the day: Pavano is going to miss his start due to soreness in his forearm. Rasner has now been pushed up to today. Moose still has no idea when he'll pitch again. Wang and Karstens are still getting ready.

When it rains, it frigging pours.

Isn't a 3 man rotation enough?:beer:
I smell Ohlendorf on the horizon.

[nyjunc]

At least Igawa pitched better.

[EcKo151]

What a disgrace that this team has 2nd and 3rd NOBODY out...

Posada lines out. Cano IBB. Dougie grounder. Melky fly out...

Not even a sac-fly?

Pathetic.

I agree, that was about as bad as it can get.

[nyjunc]

That's going to happen fom time to time through the course of a long season, I am not ready to get crazy over stuff like that yet.

Is a sac-fly really that hard to ask?

[nyjunc]

It's annoying I am just not ready to go bonkers over their play a week or 2 into the season.

[Dierking]

Its time to move Farnsworth to No. 8 in the batting order.

[The Future]

Time to move him out of of the Yankees organization.

Of course, I'm just venting, but still, 2 times this week he blows it.

[Canadian]

Same here.

[AMJets]

Jeter's error leads to a sac fly for Oakland, giving them a 1-0 lead.

Wow this is the first game I've gotten all year, I normally listen on MLB audio, as for some reason MLB TV doesn't work on my computer, but for some reason this is on my local FSN:beer:

[Canadian]

Thank you Melky but 3-0 A's crap crap crap

[Canadian]

Man A-Rod gets it done again.

Come on Yanks come back pleaseeeee

[The Dark Knight]

3-3 headed to the 8th!

[Yisman]

ABREU TOO BUSY LOOKING AT INFIELD

instead of double play, it's 1st and 2nd and 1 out

[Welcome to J-Ville]

yankee-esque mistake by the A's. Nice to see our team capitalizing on sloppy D by our opponent, as opposed to the opposite.

[Yisman]

wow, crosby and scutaro screwing up like abreu

[Learn To Swim]

Bobby Crosby is awful.

[dwalsh]

SHIT AROD.. caps

[Learn To Swim]

A-Rod is such a choker.

[The Dark Knight]

Farnsworth? Kill me now.

[Learn To Swim]

Swisher is \m/, check the hair.

Piazza up. No offense, Yankee fans, but go Mike!

[Learn To Swim]

Farnsworth looks like such a doofus with those glasses. What happened to the Farnsworth that was my favorite non-Met for a few years?

There we go.

[The Dark Knight]

Farnsy did it! Come on Yankees!

[The Dark Knight]

Top of the 13th!

Whoa!

[AMJets]

Giambi strikes. It's about time, he's killing my fantasy team.

[Yisman]

good thing giambalco went deep. the yankees would've had to start using their starting pitchers

[Barry the Baptist]

Lets go Chavez, I like getting paid, tie this game up

[Barry the Baptist]

Yes walked him on 4 pitches

[Yisman]

Farnsworth looks like such a doofus with those glasses. What happened to the Farnsworth that was my favorite non-Met for a few years?
There we go.

dude was such a thug. He charged the plate. And he started a few other brawls too.

[MisterMoss]

I just got home. 4 F'ing errors?

[Yisman]

Lets go Chavez, I like getting paid, tie this game up

getting paid? what, you bet on the a's?

[Barry the Baptist]

John Stirling is an idiot and SDuzyn Waldman is his pet

[Barry the Baptist]

getting paid? what, you bet on the a's?

Long story

[The Dark Knight]

Come on Bruney!

[Barry the Baptist]

Lets go Crosby you worthless piece of shit

[Barry the Baptist]

2 outs come on

[Yisman]

wind coming in, so all the fly balls get knocked down

[Yisman]

John Stirling is an idiot and SDuzyn Waldman is his pet

every time sterling says giambino, I feel like hitting him

[Barry the Baptist]

What a bad loss this is for the A's

[The Dark Knight]

THEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Yankeeeeeeeeeeeeees Winnnn! :beer:

Crazy game. :up:

[Barry the Baptist]

Why must the Yankees lie in their commercials? They have not won the most championships in the history of sports.

[Scikotic]

who has then?

[Canadian]

Jeez, good to get a win, but these exta innings games are getting annoying

[kevin68]

who has then?


Real Madrid won 29 times the spanish championship

[Don]

Real Madrid won 29 times the spanish championship
They don't consider soccer a sport here. j/k
And besides, with as little as I know about european soccer, wouldn't winning the Spanish championship be like winning the division in baseball? It doesn't stop in Spain, does it?

[kevin68]

It does stop in spain then,they won the spanish Championship. But they play in the Champions League against other European Champions and 2 placed teams.

[Don]

So then that sounds like the the equivelent of the WS in baseball and wouldn't they have had to win that 26 times to compare?

[AlioTheFool]

While this was a great win last night (which I actually stayed up to watch!) it was too damned draining on the pen. Today is going to hurt.

[Don]

Hopefully Pettitte can last 6 or 7 today.

[AnyGivenSunday]

I agree. To me, the Spanish Championship sounds like winning a division to get to the playoffs (or a conference in NCAA to get to the tournament). And the Champions league sounds more like a World Series

[AlioTheFool]

Hopefully Pettitte can last 6 or 7 today.

7 would be ideal. Farnsworth could use the day off. Bruney has to be unavailable. Proctor too. I'm sure Mo can go, but I'd really prefer if he didn't.

We need runs today. A whole bunch nice and early. Allow Pettitte to just throw, and hopefully we can get out of there with only one or two relievers seeing action (Myers/Vizcaino?)

[MSUJet85]

This may be a silly question, but after Rivera retires, do the Yanks retire the #42 twice?

[Don]

This may be a silly question, but after Rivera retires, do the Yanks retire the #42 twice?
Actually, I think that's a great question. What do they do?

[typeOnegative13NY]

I can't believe i fell asleep during the 10th. Glad we won,hopefully Petitte can go far today. Thank god for being off Monday.

[Don]

4PM start today.

[dwalsh]

yes, they retire it twice. They have retired #8 twice also (Yogi Berra & Bill Dicky)

[Don]

yes, they retire it twice. They have retired #8 twice also (Yogi Berra & Bill Dicky)
Yes, they did and I don't know that story. How did Yogi get it after it was retired to begin with? Or was it not retired yet when he first came up?

[dwalsh]

Yes, they did and I don't know that story. How did Yogi get it after it was retired to begin with?

he didn't, they were both retired in 1972

[typeOnegative13NY]

2-0 already. wonderful

[nyjunc]

This may be a silly question, but after Rivera retires, do the Yanks retire the #42 twice?

It will really be only once, it will be mariano's # and they will honor jackie I guess. I haven't been to Monument Park ina while so I don't know if they have put up anything for him or if they will but 42 will be retird for Mariano.

[nyjunc]

Pettitte got a big DP to keep it at 2-0 but the way harden is pitching it may not matter. Our defense stunk it up again in the 1st as it seems Jeter is picking up from where Arod left off last year defensively.

[nyjunc]

Anyone remember Bob Geren as a Yankee?

[Don]

Too bad they had to end the last inning the way they did or the score would be tied now. Just another extra base hit for Arod.

[Don]

Here we go again. 2nd and 3rd and no outs. We better manage at least 1 run here.

[dwalsh]

HIP! HIP! JORGE!

2nd & 3rd, 0 outs for Cano

[dwalsh]

LONG sac fly, got one run in, moved the other to third.

TIE GAME

[Don]

We need this 3rd run.

[dwalsh]

Pettitte strong through 7 innings. The Yankees needed him to go 7 innings to give the bullpen the day off.

101 pitches, 64 strikes

1.53 ERA for the season

Great start for Pettitte. 7 innings and the lead. Now to see if the bullpen has anything left.

Wow..almost another.

[dwalsh]

yeah, I wrote it out during the last batter

[The Future]

MariaNO :sad:

[LockDown24]

God damn it

[The Dark Knight]

Holy Fuck. You have got to be kidding me. Scutaro? Sweet Jesus!

[typeOnegative13NY]

that was fukin ridiculous. the guy rips an inside pitch,so you throw him another one. what crap. way to blow a game assholes

[MisterMoss]

Oh my. That's unreal.

[Don]

Maybe Cashman knows more then any of us.

[The Dark Knight]

The Yankees needed this game.

Pavano/Mussina/Wang on the DL.

They had the game too. I am still in shock.

[Don]

It could get really ugly now for the forseeable future.

[Scikotic]

that was fukin ridiculous. the guy rips an inside pitch,so you throw him another one. what crap. way to blow a game assholes

try being there at the game and seeing Scutaro do this shit....I was out of my seat walking through the crowd at 2 outs and I stopped when I saw the first guy get on, then i saw Mariano walk another, then i saw MARCO FUCKING SCUTARO, who probably has to be one of the worst hitters in Major League baseball, take MARIANO RIVERA, who is by far the of the best closers ever to play the game, off the fucking foul pole on an 0-2 count....WTF...i wanted to punch out every A's fan...but I didnt...

Life sucks as of now, Im happy i had some beers in me, otherwise I would have been more pissed

[EcKo151]

And that hurts

[AlioTheFool]

Guys, chill out. It's April, not August. Mo fails once or twice every year. He's not perfect. I prefer him to get it out of his system early.

We're fine. The damned DL bug is biting us right now, but maybe we'll get a new strength guy in here quickly who can clean up this mess.

It's time to bring in youth that have a hunger for championships. The offense is more than fine.

No baseball team ever needs to win a game in the middle of April, no matter the circumstances.

damn,that had to be rough.

rough is an understatement...gonna have a tough time sleeping tonite

[nyjunc]

It's always difficult to swallow a Mariano loss as he's near automatic but it happens every once in a while usually early in the year. Andy pitched great, we need the D to improve and fast though.

Hmm, interesting.

ARod's playing the field just fine.

But Jeter isn't.

[nyjunc]

Hmm, interesting.

But Jeter isn't.

yep, Jeter has picked up where ARod left off last year. He is horrible in the field right now and ARod is playing great. I hope it continues for ARod as I know Jeter will get it going defensively.

The difference is I WANT ARod to be successful and I am frustrated when he is not while you guys want jeter to suck to somehow justify your terrible argument that you haven't provided any info to back up.

Of all the stupid things you've ever written, this has to be the absolute top of the list.

[nyjunc]

Of all the stupid things you've ever written, this has to be the absolute top of the list.

Then why when jeter struggles you bring it up? it happens w/ ALOT of people on here as if i's a competition to see who is worse. When ARod outplays jeter when it counts I'll tip my cap- I WANT him to do that b/c I know Jeter will be good most of the time in big games so if ARod is better it's better for the Yanks but you guys act like by bashing Jeter it helps your weak argument about ARod.

[ShadeTree#55]

Here we go with the "when it counts"? What BS.

[nyjunc]

Here we go with the "when it counts"? What BS.

The ONLY reason you love ARod is b/c he screws us in every big spot. Would you rather a player put up meaningless fantasy #s then fall apart when games and moments are big or a player who puts up good #s then comes through when games and moments are big?

We'll trade ARod for Wright straight up- you want to do that?(although sine Wright signed his big deal he has shown ARod-like qualities).

[nyjunc]

This answers my question, I hand't been to Mon park in a while and didn't know if they had anything for jackie Robinson yet but they unveild a plaque last night:
