Yeah Texas didn't pick him up and Detroit signed him

Yeah, because the Yankees didn't want improved team chemistry and desperately wanted a prima donna pitcher.

Maybe if he hadn't acted like an ass last season. True, he's doing well this year, but if it wasn't for his asinine behavior he probably could have landed a better deal elsewhere. [/b][/quote]Well I think at this point with their pitching staff they have to ask themselves, do you want a pitcher who acts like an a$$ and can win or do you want pitchers who behave very well and don't pitch well?

I rest my case.

I wouldn't compare T.O. to Kenny Rogers. Sure Kenny had some troubles last season with Texas but I wouldn't go as far to call him a T.O. (but that's just me personally)

I think he's a good pitcher, but like we've talked before, more than anything the Yankees needed team chemistry this year. Adding Kenny Rogers, fresh off the MLB arsehole list, was not the best way to do it.

In retrospect, maybe they should have looked into his services.

Why couldn't Contreras pitch like this for us!?

8 innings, 6 hits, 3 runs, 0 BB, 11 SO. 7-0 with a 2.62 ERA

Because he was sent by Fidel to seek revenge against the Yankees.

But Contreras didn't realize Fidel wasn't talking about the Yankees of baseball. :p

Well, Wang pitches 7 shutout innings (5H, 1BB, 3K) and the Yankees bullpen keeps it together to shut out the Indians, as Robinson Cano blasts the game winner over the wall.

For a guy that people keep saying is barely 4th or 5th starter quality, he's still 6-1.

I rate him as a solid 4 right now, and off of his last two starts (2-1 & 1-0 wins), close to becoming a 3.

(He's 7-2, BTW.)

In his past 9 appearences, he's 6-1, and a save I believe.

Yeah at least the Yanks stop the skip. I tried posting last night after the game but my computer's been f*cked up!

Need any help, I12? What's the problem?

F*cking Roadrunner. They're coming out to my house tomorrow between the hours of 9-7 to fix the problem. Could they be anymore VAGUE on the time!?

Another good win tonight for the Yanks and the Unit looked solid!

Great job by the Big Unit tonight (until he got ejected), and Phillips nearly got himself injured on the meaningless hero catch on the last out on the ninth. It did kind of give him a "moment" in the minds of Yankee fans though, like Jeter with the stage dive against Boston and A-Rod with his 3-HR game against the Angels.

Robinson Cano is on fire!!!

You gotta break their balls when they tell you that.

Tell them it's unacceptable, you need a shorter time frae, you want a tech's first appointment of the day when he's just starting out, you want to speak to a supervisor, etc.

They have ways of pinning the time down better, but if you don't complain loudly and long, they save those "guaranteed" time slots for those who do.

Yes, you have to bitch for service.

Well the guy just came and was here 10 or 15 minutes. Plus he showed up around noon time so only 3 hours when they said they'd be here the earliest (which was 9) but I'm SUPER pissed because I go to bed around 2 in the morning and my ma woke me up at like 8 in the morning to be here in case the dude was here by 9 (which I KNEW he wouldn't) and now I'm going to be tired for the rest of the day. And in case you say, "just go back to sleep," I can't. Once I'm up, I'm up for the rest of the day

What did he do? I mean, what was the problem?

There was a bad connection outside and he just fixed it

Not a very, what's the word, steller ( :p ) performance by Moose today. 5 2/3 innings, 9 hits, 6 runs, 1 BB, 5 SO, 110 pitchers. 8-3 with a 3.14 ERA

BTW - they suspended Johnson for 5 games. It only took how many of our guys to get hit before they even made a warning, and then they throw Johnson. And Torre gets a game.

And let's just say today's umpire wasn't exactly "stellar" in determining Moose's strike zone. :rolleyes:

I didn't see it but I heard Moose stared in about 3 times in the early innings so that kinda set the pace I guess

I didn't see it but I heard Moose stared in about 3 times in the early innings so that kinda set the pace I guess [/b][/quote]I remember seeing the encore presentation, Ken Singleton said it ended up being like 8 or 9 times by the time Mussina left the game...

BTW - Kudos to suspending Johnson and Torre, while Ozzie Guillen goes off at his young pitcher for not intentionally hitting someone. That's the way to play the game, eh! :rolleyes:

A good win tonight for the Yanks against a pretty tough Nationals team. At least Wright's ERA is under 5.00 :p

Yes, a nice comeback win playing against the Nats, who looked good. Plus, Soriano was auditioning. :p

BTW - I hate the UPN 9 games because DirecTV doesn't offer that channel in my area...

Also, looks like its a good thing that Octavio Dotel will be back soon, Farnsworth was hurt last night (though he should only miss the weekend series).

You Yankee fans....the eternal optimists

Let's see what Dotel can do first before you go head over heels for him.

Of course he doesn't have to do much to be an improvement of Farnsworth-less.

2-run homer by A-Rod!

Damon is .408 lifetime with the bases loaded (6 home-runs now) as he crushes the ball, he's 2nd Grand Slam of the year!
