NYYanks vs. CoPhillies

[Full Marx]

Bmoney is such a blind homer.

Wasn't the whole reason the Yankees didn't trade for Cliff Lee in 2010 because "we'll just sign him anyway after the season" logic????

 

[bmoneynova]

They are talking about signing Bryce Harper already. Your head is in the sand man.

who is, some hack NY Post writer? thats your source?

so the fans run the team now? thats how Cashman was thinking, I'm sure. gr8 analysis.

Seriously - all the friggin time. Especially since the late 1990s. Simple fact. Giambi, CC, Teixiera, heard it again and again. You might want to get out a bit more. And it's not like it's a new thing. They have been buying talent forever. And they have never been shy about it. Their fans don't know or talk about this?

I can remember dozens of calls into FAN where fans were saying we'll sign this guy and that guy when they are FAs - and Chris Russo going crazy "hey Yankee fans - can you let the rest of baseball have ONE PLAYER!!" Before that I remember as a kid Yankee fans telling me Gooden's going to look great in pinstripes.

Honestly - where have you been? There was an article in the post a couple weeks back about Harper being a Yankee. It's what they do and it's what their fans talk about all the time.

Again, less so these days with Hal on the books.

I think you are just bitter about Harvey implying he wants to go to the Yankees.

Utley out of line-up tonight.

Also, Texas is one of the teams already on Hamels list. So, he wouldn't have to agree to that. Fox's Morosi reported that wrong initially.

Yeah, but he can just play the semantics game like corbsie.

Just splashed my keyboard.

 

[wcburrs87]

Hernandez 3-3 tonight. Does Ryno give him another start tomorrow? Probably easier to do with DH.

Looks like we might have a splash off.

Why does the Yankees org and its fans hate ARod? He's raking this year and he won them a title in 09. Seems like misplaced anger.

The whole not Jeter thing, I never liked him a person, however, I never minded him as a player, thought he was a good teammate. Yankees fans that are not over 40 in general are annoying, they only knew winning and don't understand how hard it was, they don't remember the shitty days.

What? Those awful years from 04-08 with no pennant? Yeah my heart breaks for you.

 

[NickleDimer]

Howard/Francoeur: 0 for 9, 4k in the middle of the lineup tonight. TURN THE F*CKING OVEN OFF!
Nothing worse than having two low-contact veterans clogging up the lineup. Altherr to AAA... the youth movement is coming (albeit several years too late).

 

[wcburrs87]

Utley to DL. Ankle sprain. When the hell did this happen? Ruf recalled.

Not only is Hernandez better at this point, but I think Andres Blanco is better. Dear Lord.

ND, not a well known prospect, but that Brock Stassi is hitting well for Reading, too. Hitting be.322 with an .860 OPS, 51 RBIs which might lead the EL.

 

[gldendog]

Franco. Scary good. Or so the box score says. I didn't actually see it.

Call up Nola for a start. Then I'll watch. Maybe.

 

[NickleDimer]

Hernandez has the best walk rate on the team, too.

Stassi is slumping lately and still leading the league. I think he was hitting .347 two weeks ago. I'm open to any promising signs, but it looks more like a fluky hot start than actual talent. He's 25 and hasn't done much prior.

Ankle Sprain! Haha. I wonder if this is related to him yelling at McClure during a mound visit in that Os series when Francouer was pitching.

I've always been an ARod fan.

 

[NickleDimer]

A-Rod had at least 2 or 3 game tying HRs in the 9th or Extra Innings in the 09 playoffs.

Upon hearing that Utley was headed to the DL Sandberg said he was surprised. What does this guy do all day? He doesn't know about anything. Strange.

Haha I thought the same thing. He looks lost all of the time.

 

[NickleDimer]

Sandberg is definitely of below-average intelligence. But that sounds like a bad move by the front office of not prepping your manager about how talk to the media about Operation Chase Utley Rides Off Into the Sunset.

I've also heard that Jeff Francoeur is a legitimate moron. Total meathead who is openly mocked by teammates and doesn't understand any of it.

Source? Or did you run into him buying a washer and dryer at a mom and pop store.

Source?

No inside info. Just "official" i-net accounts:

1. Did not know that a teammate wasn't deaf:

3. "One scout called him 'the most confused hitter in the game'."

4.

5.

6. "If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard?" Francoeur says.

The Sandberg quote baffles me. We aren't talking about the 5th outfielder or some one-start pitcher from AAA. I get that Sandberg was basing his "surprise" on previous direct conversations with Utley (who is known to hide injuries). But it's another example of a dysfunctional organization when your manager isn't involved (or at least informed) on the ongoing discussions about player moves.

Agreed, we are talking about Chaz Utley, American Hero.

Is this a nod to spg109876ers?
