So A-Rod owes us something like five homers and a few more doubles, right? You know, to make up for the time on the DL. Clearly I’m kidding, though it would be nice to see him kickstart the offense.

Still no word on the roster move for his activation. Or did I just miss it? I have to believe it’s Britton at this point.

Anyway, it’s raining, and I’m hoping they can get it in tonight. We could sure use a freakin’ win.

1. Johnny Damon, LF
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Bobby Abreu, RF
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Hideki Matsui, DH
6. Jason Giambi, 1B
7. Robinson Cano, 2B
8. Melky Cabrera, CF
9. Jose Molina, C

P. Mike Mussina

zzzzz says:

seeing abreu as DH and then not seeing duncan in RF really confused me for a second there.

 
NYFan50 says:

Rotoworld says Britton was sent down.

 
A.D. says:

While they Yanks do need a win, rainout means no loss!

Joey says:

can I put in a Bushism here? Original quote: “We’re not in a recession, just a slow down.” Now lets convert it to baseball: The Yankees don’t lose games, they just look really bad from time to time

 
 
Pete says:

Ahhhhhh, look at that lineup. Nice!

Mike P says:

Yeah I was about to say: Finally Girardi plays his best team in the right order. No friging messing around.

Joey says:

I think it looks 100 x’s nicer because A-Rod’s in there :-D Now lets see if we could do something

 
 
 
Jamal G. says:

Heard A-Rod say “10 days” for a possible Jorge Posada return. I believe he is supposes to start a rehab assignment next Monday or Tuesday.

 
Kelvin says:

Already feels like a different team with A-rod on the line-up.. Hopefully they play different too..of course for the better.

 
Jamal G. says:

Tino Martinez is really getting some responsibility in the Yankees organization.

Mike A. says:

Eh, that’s just a figurehead thing, works out nice because he lives close by. No responsibility at all.

Jamal G. says:

Heard reports he was scouting down in Trenton for Brian Cashman though. I’m sure you’re right about the figurehead thing but it’s nice to seem him involved in some capacity past Spring Training.

 
 
 
Jamal G. says:

Why is this LF playing SS for the Yankees? ;)

 
Jamal G. says:

How the hell was that first pitch to Ramon Hernandez not a called strike?

*Damn you Jetes.

 
Jamal G. says:

Wow, sucks that Mike Mussina is letting it go, but God Dammit Derek.

 
Joey says:

we’re dead already and our offense hasn’t even come in and stunk it up yet (please prove me wrong Yanks, please)

 
Mike A. says:

Well that kinda ruined A-Rod’s return.

 
Kelvin says:

Argh….should have never happened…down 5-0 already..come on guys!

 
 
Jamal G. says:

Ok, Jeter is resolved, this is on Mike Mussina now.

 
r.w.g. says:

So we’re all in agreement right? Just let Bobby go.

Jamal G. says:

WTF was he supposed to do on that hit, fly like Superman to catch it?

r.w.g. says:

I was talking about the throw to home that didn’t get Adam Jones.

Jamal G. says:

Oh my bad. Adam Jones does have good speed though.

r.w.g. says:

He does. It seemed like Bobby made those throws a lot more often in the previous year and half.

Ugly start. At least its the first and not the ninth inning.

 
 
 
 
 
Mike A. says:

Gotta give the O’s some credit, they sure as hell took advantage of the error.

 
mustang says:

Well he is won 5 in row it was going to happen sometime.
Ouch !!!

 
Joey says:

my happiness from A-Rod being back was just brought into the back ally then mowed down by a hail of bullets

Joey says:
 
 
Mike A. says:

Only 3 more runs until the mercy rule kicks in…

Joey says:

well my mercy rule is kicking in now, I don’t know if I’ll be allowed to watch the rest of this. Just want to see our offense

 
 
Jamal G. says:

I always feel it’s good to have one of these games, it’s like taking a laxative, just let everything clear out.

Mike A. says:

Happens to every team once or twice a year.

 
Joey says:

yea, hopefully this is a wakeup call to the team (although the bullpen must be thrilled right now)

 
 
Kelvin says:

feels like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong..well at least in the pitching side..

 
Kelvin says:

woah..this is just….bad…and ugly…

 
Jamal G. says:

You see, Goose Gossage was right. The entire AL is fired up to do well against the Yankees. Fucking Joba.

 
Mike A. says:

I’m calling it - the Yankees will bring the tying run to the plate in this game.

Jamal G. says:

Hey, it is just about the two-year anniversary of that eventful Rangers @ Yankees game.

 
NYFan50 says:

Mike, what Yankees team have YOU been watching lately…? I’d like to root for that team, too.

 
 
Kelvin says:

Wouldn’t this be the perfect day for a 3hr-10rbi performance from A-rod? Man, it is only the first inning, but still…

 
RustyJohn says:

What the hell, I’m at work and have MLB Gameday on the ‘puter- I take one phone call and look back and it is 7-0? that blows. Have these been bloop hits or did Mussina just get the living crap beat out of him?

Jamal G. says:

Six unearned runs but Mussina just did not have it today.

 
 
Mike A. says:

Derek Jeter can do no wrong…

 
Jamal G. says:

LoL, Derek Jeter couldn’t have envisioned a worst start to his night.

 
 
Link says:

games like these you really just need to laugh at so freaking pathetic… :(

 
RustyJohn says:

All those herpes sores are slowing him down.

 
mustang says:

We are coming back and winning this game.
No have not been drinking.

 
RustyJohn says:

Way to attack the opposing pitcher in the first inning and build up that pitch count.

 
Mike A. says:

Derek Jeter needs to starting playing more like Jamie Moyer.

RustyJohn says:

Watch some Phillies games and see Jamie Moyer hit….during that at bat he was very much Moyeresque.

 
 
Kelvin says:

It IS A-Rod’s fault. He comes back to the line up and look at what happens..

Jamal G. says:

It is his fault, if he would’ve had some balls and forced a move to SS this would’ve never happened.

What an asshole.

 
 
Jamal G. says:

Justin Masterson is making his second start tonight. Is his bullpen transition inevitable or is there a good chance he remains in the rotation?

Mike A. says:

I’m not sure, but whatever happens to Masterson, it will be Brian Cashman’s fault.

 
 
Relaunch says:

Remember when it was fun to watch Yankee games?

Jamal G. says:

You mean Wednesday, ironically Mike Mussina’s previous start?

 
 
Mike A. says:

Heh, anyone else see Tommy Glavine retire 17 straight Mets today?

Jamal G. says:

Yes, it was fun. I actually root against the Mets now, before the collapse of 2007 I never cared what they did. But I was rooting for them to fail while they were in the middle of that collapse, don’t know why.

Mike Francesa actually made me Lmao, he kept getting on them for their fucking slogans “The Team. The Time. The Place.”. So he came up with (not clever but comical) “The Team. The Time. The Collapse.”.

 
 
Kelvin says:

Im predicting an Arod homer..but, it is meaningless because of the score..lol

Dan says:
Link says:

because it’s so pathetic it’s funny.

 
Kelvin says:

because…this… i don’t know really.. This is beyond unbelievable.. just bad bad play… It’s like when you can’t do anything but laugh.. not saying I am happy with this..

 
 
 
r.w.g. says:

Is it just me.. or are some of these guys just really begging to be traded/dumped?

 
Link says:

Whats the final score for this one? I’m predicting 16-2.

 
Mike A. says:

Johnny Damon is trying to make Jeter feel good by committed a more embarassing error.

 
mustang says:

This just funny now.
I’m not even angry anymore.
