Hey Yankeeland…Can You Hear Me Now? Good.
I hate to be the one that said I told you so…BUT I TOLD YOU SO! All of you diehards out there with your navy blue caps and your interlocking NYs…I said during spring training that THIS Yankees team would finish double digits behind the division winner, which appears as if it is going to be the Rays, not the Red Sox. At least Boston still has a legitimate chance to win this division and defend their world championsip. What do the Yankees have to look forward to? Eliminating the bloated contracts (well, a few of them anyway) and rebuilding for 2009.
Tuesday night’s harrowing experience in the Boogie Down was a perfect example of why the Red Sox are competing for a World Series title every year now, and the Yankees are doing nothing but running in place. The difference is, running in place for the Yankees is actually watching them fall deeper and further behind as the Rays are young, the Red Sox have built from within, the Orioles are a couple of arms away, and the Blue Jays aren’t going anywhere. The names on the lineup card look real nice…if the year was 1999. It is time to take the wrecking ball to this club and do something productive during the 2008-2009 offseason.
I will quickly go over what happened yet again last night. Pettitte couldn’t find the strike zone, A-Rod was well, A-Rod, and before the Yankees knew what hit them, a second run had scored on an infield hit. I will personally send anyone $5.00 if they can find and certify to me, the last time 2 runs scored on 1 infield hit..all while Jason Giambi stood there, ball in hand and watched. 
The Red Sox are a model of what to do right when it comes to building a major league franchise. The Bombers…everything that is wrong. Overpriced free agents who underperform, turning down trades to acquire the elite players that can help win titles, and such a thin farm system, that the scouting is so ignorant, that they tend to trade off talent that turns into what? Productive major league talent within years of leaving the Yankees stunted farm system.
I hate to be the one to say I told you so Yankeeland…but I told you so. Joe Girardi looked absolutely clueless in the dugout as the Red Sox continued to rack up hits, score runs, and get quality pitching from everyone they threw out there. I can only ride that horse so many times. Will the Yankee brass wake up and fire this incompetent ******* already? It’s almost comical to watch Buck Showalter on ESPN discuss the Yankees, knowing what he would and wouldn’t tolerate from THIS bunch of Yankees. Buck has that sly grin as he knows the phone should be ringing this coming offseason, that he doesn’t have to take a jersey number to signify what his goal as manager would be. To listen to Joe Girardi and A-Rod make their customary excuses for last night’s performance, click the link next to Girardi’s Corky-lookin’ mug:
What could have the Yankees done to salvage this season? Well, as I come to understand the waiver-trade markety, they could’ve acquire Paul Pyrd, oh wait, the Red Sox did that. They could’ve signed Freddie Garcia for the stretch run, oh wait Detroit did that. They could’ve acquired themselved a SOLID centerfielder to upgrade the defense, oh wait, Boston did that too by getting Mark Kotsay from the Braves. Now it could all be too little too late. Then again, I have been tootin’ that horn for weeks as well. The Tigers recently placed Kenny Rogers on waivers. Before you get excited about the possibility of the Gambler returning to the Bronx, let me remind you what he did as a Yankee, when it truly mattered:
In one ******** World Series start back in 1996, Rogers lasted exactly 2 innings, while giving up 5 earned runs. If it weren’t for the heroics of Jim Leyritz, the Yankees probably don’t win that series. If Brian Cashman happens to be reading this…DON”T BRING HIM BACK! You would have better results cokin’ Doc Gooden up and hoping for a few innings. Hell, bring Boomer Wells back. At least that guy knows how to win when the chips are down, but don’t you dare bring back the gutless wonder, Kenny Rogers.
Girardi stated before the game yesterday that New York had to win 2 of 3 to stay in this thing. WRONG AGAIN! The Yankees needed a sweep. Why? Because heading into play last night, the Yankees were only 5 back of Boston in the wild card chase. A sweep makes it a 2 game deficit. Now, they are starting play tonight 6 back in the wild card and the best they can hope for, is to be back within 4 games IF they can take the next 2. That is a full two game swing, if they win the next 2, which is highly unlikely. At least when the Yankees stunk in the late 80s and early 90s, they played hard. This batch of Bronx Bums are playing like death, which is exactly where their season is close to ending up.
The Red Sox have the perfect blend of youthful talent and veterans that care about winning. What a noble concept. The Bombers youngsters either have underperformed (Melky Cabrera, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy), or don’t care because they’ve already been paid (Robinson Cano, Chien Ming Wang). How refreshing is it to hear players like Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury talk about the team, about winning, and getting back to October. The only thing this group of Yankees care about is getting paid. Well Mr. Steinbrenner, you have gotten exactly what YOU have paid for. I was just discussing this the other day with my wonderful, who I remind you is a Red Sox fan. I asked her if a rivalry can truly exist without both teams being competitive, She didn’t think so, and neither do I. The Red Sox have done their part…perhaps someday, the Yankees will to.
I will be back later to discuss various topics throughout the world of baseball, or if anything new occurs in Yankeeland between now and the opening pitch of game 2 between Paul Byrd and Sir Sidney.
As always, take care of yourself, be good, and take care of your buddy next to ya!

The Weekend That Was…And The Week That MUST Be
Before I go into a much overdue entry about what took place in Yankeeland this past weekend, I have to send out some much deserved thanks and appreciations. A big thank you to Joe Riccio and his girlfriend Ash for having my wife and I over this weekend to partake in his live fantasy football draft. We had a wonderful time, and you both were great hosts, so thank you again!
Now, back to what has taken place, and what could be by Friday night’s matchup in the Bronx against the Blue Jays. Friday night opened in Baltimore, with the Yankees coming off of a severe whipping at the hands of the Blue Jays, to finish the first leg of their roadtrip at 1-2. Moose Mussina pitched well enough to win his 17th game en route to his first career 20-win season, but couldn’t get the run support he needed. The bullpen pitched extremely well, scoring more towards the end of the game, and the Yankees took a much needed game 1 of the three game set against the Orioles.
Saturday witnessed the much maligned return of Carl Pavano to the Yankees’ rotation, pitch 5 deent innings, and get his first win in well over a year. This coming in just his 20th appearance as a Yankee since signing his 4-year, $40 mil contract before the 2005 season. As I have questioned in earlier entries, is Pavano back because he is a free agent and wants to prove he can still pitch at the major league level? Or is he pitching out of guilt, in an attempt to save his reputation not only with his teammates, but anybody around baseball along with fans who believe he committed armed (or should I say disarmed) robbery? Bobby Abreu along with Robinson Cano continue to hit when the Yankees needed them both, and Hideki “Godzilla” Matsui drove in his 500th career run in the major leagues. Rivera came on for the second straight game to notch his 30th save in 31 chances this season.
Then came Sunday…the Yankees smelled blood in the water, knowing that a dent had been made in the AL Wild Card standings with the Angels handling the Twins over the weekend, Darrell Rasner showed his worst outing of the season, not making it through the 4th inning. Fortunately for the Bombers, O’s starter Daniel Cabrera didn’t fare much better, helping get the Yankees out to an early 7-2 lead. Before the ink was dry in the scorebook, Baltimore began to pound Rasner, helping him to an early exit, and the next 4 Yankee relievers got belted just as easily. To the Yankees’ advantage, they have the legendary Rivera, who came on and recorded his third save of the series, slamming the door after Robinson Cano drove in the winning run after Baltimore tied the score at 7 late in the contest. For all of the poor pitching, shoddy defense, and patterned bad baseball, the Yankees escaped Baltimore with a must have sweep in the series.
Heading into a well deserved day off on Monday, the Yankees are now only 9 1/2 games back in the east behind Tampa, and are 5 1/2 back before the start of the massive three-game set with the Red Sox in the Bronx. Suffering from numbness in his arm and pitching hand, the Red Sox have decided to pass on Josh Beckett Tuesday night in the series opener, opting instead to activate knuckleballer Tim Wakefield off of the 15-day DL to face Andy Pettitte.
Wednesday will see newly acquired Paul Byrd take the hill against Sidney Ponson. Both pitchers coming off of less than impressive starts their last time out.Byrd flat out shut down the Yankees last October, and we can only hope that it was an aberration at best. Byrd is a nice upgrade over Clay Bucholtz who is now back in Double-A Portland less than a year since throwing his no-no and keeping the Red Sox from getting Johan Santana from the Twinkies. This last outing by Ponson was truly his first TERRIBLE performance during his second stint in pinstripes.
The series finale is a matchup of season aces in Jon Lester and Mike Mussina. Moose will attempt to get back on track after struggling against his former team in Baltimore. Worse than Moose’s last outing was that of Jon Lester, who failed to make it through the 3rd inning against Toronto. The Blue Jays beat on Lester like a rented mule, en route to a double digit loss by the Red Sox.
What does all of this mean for the Yankees? It means that anything short of taking 2 of 3 from Boston in the Bronx will basically make the remainder of the regular season meaningless. If the Yankees take 1 of 3, and then welcome in Toronto, they will be suffering the usual Red Sox letdown, and could find themselves swept by the Jays come Sunday afternoon. This is the week the Yankees either put their stamp on the standings, and inform the rest of the American League that they are indeed in this thing until the bitter end, or come September 1st, it will be time to give the kids the entire month to get their collective feet wet at the big league level and prepare for next season. These next five to seven days will decide whether or not the 2008 Yankees will see yet another postseason, get on a roll, which could take them to their 27th and final World Series title to close out the House that Ruth Built. I know, I know, I am thinking if luck, and the ball bounces the right way, how things could be, but as I have said many times before…stranger things have happened.
Winning the World Series isn’t always about who the best team in the regular season is, but rather which team treats the month of September as if every game was a win or go home situation. Not because teams have wanted to in the past, but because they HAVE to. Look at last year’s Rockies…the ’02 Angels that shocked the Yankees, and yes, one could even say the ’03 Marlins, led by current Red Sox Beckett and Mike Lowell. Momentum is everything, and if the Yankees can find a way to break off a string of say 30 wins in their last 34, for once they could be the hot team heading into October…a place that has had many magical memories for this Yankees’ franchise over the last dozen or so years. Check back in later today and I am positive I will have plenty more to discuss as the next incarnation of the greatest rivalry in sports is about to get underway yet again.
As always, take care of yourself, be good, and take care of your buddy next to ya!
Bombers Hit, Pitch, Play Defense…And Win!
It’s funny that when a team as talented as the Yankees perform the basic, essential functions of baseball, how easy it looks for them to win games when it matters. Last night in Toronto, looked like one of those nights. In the visitor’s half of the 1st inning, they jumped on Toronto’s young lefthanded starter, and they never looked back.
Sacrifice flies, moving runners over with productive groundouts, and sterling sharp pitching from Andy Pettitte left Yankee fans once again wondering if the postseason is indeed an annual inevitability for the boy from the Bronx or just another mirage that will soon fade if Roy Halladay shuts the Yankees out in a complete game. Jason Giambi played 1st base as if he had a couple Gold Gloves on his trophy case, and the rest of the team appeared to have baseball on their collective minds. Again, it’s funny how easy baseball can appear to be for the Yankees when they simply do what they are supposed to. Kudos for today…keep up the winning ways and finish off Toronto later today.
As for more pressing matters…there has been talk for about a week now that Carl Pavano or Phil Hughes would get the call on Saturday in a spot starting role. Two different reports (Fox Sports, Yahoo! Sports) have reported that it could be neither of them, but rather journeyman started Victor Zambrano. Yes, that Victor Zambrano. The one who was acquired by the Mets several years ago to be the final piece of a World Series winning run, and instead proved to be as servicable as…Carl Pavano during his Yankees’ career. For those of you who remember who the other side of the trade for Zambrano was, it was Tampa Bay ace Scott Kazmir, who was not established quite yet, but damn don’t the Mets wish they had that one back?
Zambrano has pitched well for both Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton, and with reports as recent as two hours ago, Pavano probably cannot be ready (stiff neck), and Hughes, (ineffectiveness) needs more work, they might as well give Zambrano the shot. Nobody thought signing Sidney Ponson would prove fruitful either, but then again this could develop into another Shawn Chacon/Aaron Small season saving opportunity. Stranger things have happened.
Hideki Matsui has looked good since returning from the disabled list two days ago, hitting the ball extremely hard in what I have seen in a handful of at bats. The real question is, why is Johnny Damon still in centerfield? Where is Brett Gardner, that did nothing but come up clutch over the weekend against Kansas City? It may be time to put Damon back in left, move either Matsui with the bad knee back into center, or keep him at DH and move Nady over to centerfield. Damon will not work in the middle of the outfield long term. It didn’t in Boston, and it won’t now.
Tonight’s matchup and series finale is interesting to say the least. It matches Ponson, who has been the most consistent starter not named Mussina, against the complete game machine in Roy “Doc” Halladay. Can the Yankee bats get enough off of Roy Toy to back Sir Sidney for a must needed win? Can the Yankees start this latest roadtrip feeling good about themselves and close out the Jays tonight to win this first leg towards what they hope will be a date with destiny in October? Stay tuned…I will be back later today if anything out of the ordinary breaks in Yankeeland or the world of major league baseball.
As always, take care of yourself, be good, and take care of your buddy next to ya!
As An Eye Witness…I’m Not Shocked
Well, the family and I have returned to Sin City from our weekend voyage to Anaheim to watch the Yankees/Angels series finale Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately, I witnessed exactly what I thought I would. One doesn’t need to be a season ticket holder of this team to full comprehend what it going on inside this organization. I’ll get back to that later, but I want to thank the Angels and their fans, for being courteous to us in Yankeeland as we invaded your home ballpark. All of you were very friendly (of course with some added ribbing), and were more than willing to allow us to enjoy the game Sunday, and for the most part, it was a competitive game until the bitter end.
Andy Pettitte, who was reported to be injured, pitched as well as he possibly could given the fact his hitters continued to piss away several opportunities to knock out Angels starter Joe Saunders in the 1st inning and beyond. Some boneheaded choices and an underlying inability to hit with RISP, doomed the Yankees from the start. Being in the stands during the game, when the Yankees put two runs up in their half of the 1st, when they failed to knock in what should have been at the very minimum a third run, when the inning came to a close, you had a sense of dread throughout the fans there to see the Bombers right this ship before it is too late.
I could point to situations throughout the game, and rehash what has already been reported. I won’t, but instead there were a handful of situations that would and should have changed the outcome of Sunday’s game. A-Rod was quoted after the game as saying Sunday’s loss was “devastating, and we need to play with a sense of urgency…every game is a playoff now.” You think? Thanks for the newsflash Captain Obvious (to quote my wonderful wife). This team should have been playing as if it were a playoff every game for a month now. Instead Cano grounds into a double play, Abreu grounds out, failing to get a run in from third with less than 2 outs, and A-Rod runs on his own, attempting to steal 3rd base, gets thrown out and fails to give Nady the opportunity to knock him in. Game, set, match. We as a collective fanbase, knew when A-Rod was called out (which he clearly had his hand on the bag prior to the tag), the game was essentially over. The wind had been taken out of this team’s sails, and the Angels and that damn monkey did what they had to. Angels 4, Yankees 3.
Now, the question is, will this team play with the urgency needed to sustain any type of run at the AL wild card. Forget the eastern title. That will be for next year, Tampa or Boston has the numbers and the schedule to dream of division titles. The Yankees can start their march tonight in Minneapolis against one of the teams in front of them in the wild card chase. The Twins are 1 1/2 games behind Boston, who is struggling since the return of David Ortiz, and the trade of Manny Ramirez. We knew that would happen. If New York can somehow regroup, sweep the Twins, and return home to handle the Royals next weekend, the Yankees will be primed to overtake the BoSox in the wild card chase as they meet sooner, rather than later.
Sidney Ponson returns to the mound tonight as he continues his “Revenge Tour” taking on yet another team that cut him loose. He faces Carl Perkins, who gave up 5 earned against the Bombers in New York the last time he faced them. Ponson has a nice record since joining the Bombers, and an even better mark against the Twins, having pitched a complete game while a member of the Rangers earlier this season.
A relative unknown, I enjoyed watching the burner Justin Christian show off his speed not only on the basepaths, but in centerfield Sunday, and I hope Girardi gives him time over Melky down the stretch. He can hit a little, he can run alot, and he isn’t a big name, one in which he will demand the spotlight. How nice would that be for a change?
Stay tuned as I will be posting an entry later tonight after the series opener versus the Twins.If any of you wish to contact me, you can e-mail me at westcoastyankees@yahoo.com
As always, take care of yourself, be good, and take care of your buddy next to ya.
“Cy” Moose? Yanks Split, Head to SoCal for Big Road Series
First. I want to congratulate Mike Mussina as he beat Texas with 7 strong shutout innings Thursday night to improve his record to 15-7 on the season.
Now that I got that out of the way, should we consider Moose for a possible Cy Young Award in 2008? The writers have overlooked Yankee hurlers over the last handful of years. When Bartolo Colon took home the hardware, Mariano Rivera probably should have won. Each of the last two years, you could probably have made the argument for Chien Ming Wang one way or the other. Will the BBWAA get it right this time? Should the fact that Cliff Lee at 15-2 plays for a sorry Indians team? Does his great season really make the difference between 90 losses and 100? If the Yankees come all the way back and reach the postseason for the 14th consecutive year, more of the kudos have to be handed to Mike Mussina that any other Yankee arm on the staff outside of Mariano Rivera. Moose is on pace to win 20 games for the first time in his career. Yes, I said it. For the first time in his career. He has won 18 and 19 games numerous times during his hey day in Baltimore, but as he closes in on 300 career wins, this could be his crowing individual achievement. The writers tend to get emotionally attached to certain players, and from what I have seen and heard, Moose could be that favorite in 2008. Good luck to you Moose and keep up the good work.
As for the rest of this team, I was glad to see Derek Jeter finally decided to show up and hit before the series in Texas ended. Jeter is having his worst statistical season of his career. Is this the start of a downward spiral, or is this a one time aberration and he will be back to his usual self in ’09? We will have to wait and see. A-Rod, earning not one red cent of his $27.5 million annual salary went 0-14 in the series-not what the Yankees need heading into a crucial weekend series at Anaheim. He did however, play solid defense during the finale, making a great dive and throw to help out his pitching staff. I am also excited that Robbie Cano is continuing to awaken from his first half+ slumber, going 3-3 with a pair of doubles in the victory. Mo Rivera came on in the 9th and slammed the door to complete the shutout and get the Yankees their second straight split against an AL West foe.
As for the continuing drama that is the starting rotation, the Yankees will have to use Darrell Rasner on Sunday against the Angels as Andy Pettitte will miss his next scheduled start due to left arm stiffness. My advice, get it rubbed out and nut up Mr. Pettitte. Your team’s season is on the line, and Darrell Rasner isn’t the answer. With yet another starter on the shelf, it is time for the daily Freddie Garcia fix. The following came from Newsday:
Desperate Times for Yankees Call for Garcia
Even though Freddie Garcia didn’t knock over the teams that attended his open throwing session on Tuesday, the righthander could find a new employer within the next few days. The Yankees, said by one insider to be “lukewarm” on Garcia, aren’t in a position to be choosy given their desperation for starting pitching. They appear to be among the most interested suitors, whereas the Mets occupy a lower tier. Peter Greenberg, Garcia’s agent wrote in an e-mail yesterday, “We’ll have a better idea in the next couple of days” about Garcia’s future. Greenberg told cbssports.com that Garcia could remain umemployed and work toward 2009 if no offers come in.
I called for the Garcia signing weeks ago. Not because I knew injuries were going to come in droves, but simply because the backend of the rotation has made me puke in my mouth. They are awful, and let me remind the readers, former 20-game winners with a proven postseason track record don’t fall out of trees everyday. This move is a no-brainer for Cashman. Hell, he gave Ponson not one but two chances to pitch in NY. Then again, I would be giving Mr. Cashman entirely too much credit for believing he has a brain. Stay tuned…
As for the upcoming series in Anaheim, I will personally be attending the Sunday game with my lovely wife Karri, and my mother, as Saturday will be Mom’s birthday, and this game is part of her gift. Unfortunately for Mom, and every other Yankee fan in attendance this weekend, odds are extremely high that a sweep is inevitable. Why? Ian Kennedy, Dan Giese, and Darrell Rasner. Enough said. Now tell me Freddie Garcia isn’t worth taking a chance on. Besides Garcia, don’t forget Eric Milton is getting healthier everyday, and yes, he too has Bronx experience, however little that may be. A proven lefty in the Stadium could prove to be a better bet than any of the three pitching this weekend in California.
I will be making another entry later today, as the game out in California gets closer. As always, take care of yourself, be good, and take care of the buddy next to ya!
Another Day…Another Injury
Pudge came out the winner as he will be listed as day to day (aren’t we all), while David Murphy is out 2-4 weeks with a severely sprained knee ligament.
The good news is this…Pudge is a warrior, and will probably only miss a day or two to recover. The Yankees however, are in deeper water yet, as Joba Chamberlain’s visit to Dr. James Andrews produced the diagnosis of rotator cuff tendinitis. My question is, how can Joba be that worn out at only 22 years old, when he barely surpassed the 100 inning mark? ESPN announcer Rick Sutcliffe made a great point during last night’s Yankees/Rangers game when he stated that the reason Joba wasn’t drafted higher was because he has had a history of arm problems and injuries, and believes this could be a sign of things to come throughout the young hurler’s career.
As I stated in yesterday’s entry, the Yankees need to suck it up and move on. Yes, Joba will be back within a couple of weeks, but ESPN’s Steve Phillips believes that once he does, that his days as a starting pitcher (at least this season) are over, and that Joba will once again be placed back into the 8th inning role in front of Mariano Rivera (which is what I have argued should have been the case all season). The other good news, is that the Yankees finally won a game, beating Texas last night 5-3.
Sidney Ponson, who is pitching for his professional life, has been a godsend to the Yankees, moving his season record to 7-2. Will he ever be a #1 ace? Absolutely not, but if Pettitte can rebound and get back on track, along with the solid season Moose is having, the Yankees should be in pretty good shape if they can patch the other two spots together over the next few weeks. Ponson also had some extra motivation last night: stick it to the team who cut him loose earlier this year. I hate to tell Rangers’ fans, but Ponson, attitude problem or not, was probably your best starter-and yes that includes the 2008 bloated version of Kevin Millwood. I don’t want to hear about what a bad seed Ponson was, because this is the same organization that signed, promoted for the All Star team, and did next to nothing when Milton Bradley attempted to go after a Kansas City Royals play by play guy when he didn’t like some of the opinions portrayed about him during a Rangers/Royals telecast. Boo hoo. Talk about hypocritical.
Buster Olney reported yesterday, that Joba will rest for one week before starting a throwing program to regain strength in his shoulder. Here’s an idea: push yourself away from the clubhouse spread and spend a few more hours on the track running. Is it me, or does Joba literally look like he is blowing up like a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day balloon? Perhaps Pettitte can show him the advantages of taking care of your body and preparing all year around to pitch with success at the major league level. Olney also reported, as did Rex Hudler on FSN SoCal, that he heard in the Orioles clubhouse, that the Yankees were sending Ian Kennedy ahead of the team for a Friday night start in Anaheim against the Angels. Kennedy has pitched well for Triple A Scranton, and we can only hope that a strong performance Friday will go along way towards solidifying the rotation down the stretch.
Peter Gammons reported on ESPN’s Baseball Tonight, that the Yankees are still in pursuit of a waiver wire deal that could land them either Paul Byrd of Cleveland, or Jarrod Washburn of Seattle. Unfortunately as Steve Phillips pointed out during that same telecast, that because the pursuit for the AL Wild Card is so tight, that the Yankees would be hard pressed to be able to acquire either of the hurlers, as teams like the Twins and Rangers would probably block any move the Yankees attempted to make.
The Yankees head into the series finale needing to split before heading out to California to face the Angels. It was nice to see Ponson, the middle relief corp, and Mo Rivera slam the door on the best offense in baseball last night. A split would go along way towards re-motivating this Yankee team into going on one of it’s annual streaks (which at this point in the season, and given the standings situation is almost a must).
That’s all for now, I want to send my deepest thanks to all of you that have taken interest in my blog, and continue to spread the word about my sometimes over the top opinions of the Bombers. As I always say, I firmly believe I am the Yankees’ harshest critic, and it is only because after being a fan for so many years, I know what they are capable of. Please continue to check back in each day for the latest, and drop me a comment with a link for a blog, a website, or anything that might be of interest to the rest of Yankeeland.
As always, take care of yourself, be good, and take care of your buddy next to ya!
