Rain’s Rant – The Definitive Joba-to-the-Pen Example

We’ve now seen it. The definitive example of why Joba Chamberlain needs to be our 8th inning setup man in the bullpen.
Last night, somehow, someway, Alex Rodriguez had the intestinal fortitude to get a hit when we needed it, and put the Yankees in the position to win the game going into the bottom of [...]

Yankees setting up Wang to Fail

I am not very happy with the move the Yankees made. First we took Hughes out of the rotation which I think was a mistake. He was just starting to pitch better and now we throw him back into the bullpen. I was okay with activating Chien Ming Wang because he looked like he was [...]

Brett Gardner out-slugging David Ortiz. Is it safe to say Redsox titles are tainted?

Last night, Brett Gardner hit his first home run of the season and his career. He started out the year as the Yankees CF but quickly lost his job to Melky Cabrera who has been hitting pretty well. In 30 games this season, Gardner is hitting .233 with 1 HR, 7 RBI, and 6 SB. [...]

These Yankees’ are too business oriented

I was reading online that the Yankees paid New York City $11.5 million for the rights to sell or auction off memorabilia from the old stadium. The Yankees know that a lot of the stuff from that building is history and people will pay a ton for it. The old seats are ranging between $1500 [...]

Does this Yankee team have toughness?

The Yankees lost to the Boston Redsox AGAIN last night, 7-3. Before I even get back to my room to watch the game, the Yankees are down 4-0 after Joba Chamberlain gives up 5 straight hits to start the game. He then settled down really well and struck out a season high 12 batters in only [...]

My last post on Selena Roberts and the A-Rod book

Everyone has their own opinion on Alex Rodriguez. If you have been following my posts on this blog then you can clearly see that I am a supporter of A-Rod. There are other writers on this blog that have a completely different view on A-Rod and it would be safe to say that they hate [...]

What value does Selena Roberts add? – Commentary on latest of the Arod Saga

I found this commentary while web searching today and it brought an interesting point of view on the Arod Soap Opera, starring Selena Roberts. I have decided to add my insights to the bottom of this article. So, check this out.
“I don’t know if I’m the only one who thinks this way, but enough is [...]

Hey Bitch Tits!

This one is aimed at the most enigmatic, polarizing figure in Yankee history: Alex Rodriguez.
There’s (rightfully so) been a lot of attention focused on the information contained in Selena Roberts new book “A-Rod.” Defenders of A-Rod look at all this and call Roberts a greedy whore, a bitch, or other chauvenistic names. She is none [...]

Just a different MO against the Boston Redsox

Take a look at this image. It is Jason Bay rounding the bases after a 2 run home run in the bottom of the ninth which tied that game at 4-4. Boston went on to win the game with a walk-off home run by Youkalis against Damaso Marte. Let me repeat…the game tying HR came [...]

Joe Girardi is an IDIOT!…but the Melk Man delivers!

Ok the game isn’t over yet and we may or may not win…but one thing is for sure, Joe Girardi is retarded. Why is CC Sabathia pitching the 7th inning? He was not effective at all today. He was over 100 pitches and just wasn’t getting it done. The Yankees just score 2 runs in [...]
