Follow us on TwitterMany teams have rocked Luis Mendoza this year. The Yankees have, in theory, a powerhouse offense. So can we please just knock this guy around? I don’t think it’s asking too much.
MLB.com has a a piece on Talib Kweli, a life-long Yankees fan. Says the emcee: “I collected every baseball card, I had season tickets to Yankee Stadium, but baseball is a great metaphor for life.” I loved his stuff with Mos Def in Black Star.
To keep the game thread filled with randomness, here’s evidence that Joe Buck should no longer be calling baseball games:
Couple of notes from Chad Jennings. Chris Stewart has cleared waivers, of course, and is back with Scranton. Alan Horne is on the DL with what’s being called a tired arm. It doesn’t sound serious. But Shelley Duncan’s shoulder injury does. He could miss the rest of the season.
Your lineup:
1. Johnny Damon, LF
2. Derek Jeter, SS
3. Bobby Abreu, RF
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Jason Giambi, DH
6. Jorge Posada, C
7. Robinson Cano, 2B
8. Wilson Betemit, 1B
9. Brett Gardner, CF
And on the mound, number forty-seven, Sir Sidney Ponson
Below Avg Texas pitchers unite Ponson v Mendoza
Maybe, just maybe tonight is the night the Yankee offense hits someone they haven’t seen….though Texas will also probably hit someone they have seen.
I like them too. But I like Gangstarr even more.
Yeah get Joe Buck out of the booth and put Mike Joe and Ben in there for this weekend. I figure even you guys couldnt even be more one side than Joe Morgan and Jon Miller.
If only they put Buck, McCarver, and Morgan together
You can’t leave out Steve Phillips and John Kruk.
The Yankees New Kids on the Block are going down faster then the singing group.
LOL
No constant footage of a spoiled rich kid watching the game, instead, shift the camera to the sulking number 28.
Are you kidding me? You’re going to rag on a 5 year old kid?! The kid looked like he was having a wonderful time. Not to mention, he did something that most adults wouldn’t even think of doing by giving a foul ball to another kid sitting nearby… all on his own mind you.
Bring back Bernie
Ponson DOMINATES teams that cut him…with his recent bouncing around he might be able to make a career out of that
Ugh - here comes the sweep. Our only hope is Sidney gets so shelled he doesn’t come back.
Fat Sid saves the series.
P.S. Kay rips Cano before the game has even started.
Joe Buck is an @sshole, but I’m jealous. He gets paid millions to half @ss his job. Imagine what happens when a military member half @ss his or her job while in Iraq. An utter disgrace!
The Yankees need to pound this SOB into submission. I think Jeter will have a great game because he’ll be pissed about not getting into the last night.
Jeter vs Gardner hit watch is on!
See how many games we see Gardner in CF, or if they’re just giving Melk “the day off”
Joe Buck is lame
Seems like the Sox fans are voting as hard as we are.
Pedroia is still leading in the AS voting…
Joe Buck interview is redic for at least these reasons:
1. No one I have ever talked to likes him as an announcer in football or baseball
2. He doesn’t even work at his job, that like if your a trader not really paying attention what happens to your sector each day, because so many stocks are traded all the time and it’s hard to keep up…that’s how people get fired
3. Says how people don’t have time to watch all the games during the week, but thats because they work….if he watched them it would be work
4. You think if people can’t watch the weekday games then it would be more like “when he was a kid” so Saturday would be more exciting and you would hope the announcers would prepare well and fill you in for the week, but alas, no we have Joe Buck.
Not to be completely negative but after watching Gardner last night I predict he will give up a run on a weak throw tonight in the field.
Classic Ponson, using the whole field to get guys out
BG! Melky would have made that look interesting….
1st Melky shot of the night on YES…
Kay loves to mention the monuments used to be in play
A hit with RISP & 2 outs…am I watching the correct game?
Go Robbie!!
Great, they have to choose the day Ponson’s pitching to get on the board first!
Pickers can’t be choosers
Did Kay just say OH-YAY?!
SO…lame…
Not good
Is it just me or does gardner throw too low.
Not you.
C’mon Ponson!
Part of me is going to be pissed if they give Sidney a win and didn’t give one to Joba or Moose. They both (esp Moose) deserved one. I’m just so pissed at this offense.
I’m afraid that Gardner is just a glorified Bubba Crosby. I hope I’m wrong.
But faster
A little faster maybe - Bubba was pretty quick. I think Gardner has much better plate discipline though - he ran up a full count almost every time which was great to see (as opposed to the swing at the first pitch thing the vets have bought into lately).
I had the same thought last night actually. Don’t get me wrong - his AAA stats are incredible but I just don’t get a good feeling. Same not good feeling I got from Hawkins and everyone jumped on me here before clamoring for him to be DFAed.
He has a cult of personality around here.
pedroia would’ve had that
the best chance they have at scoring is giambi drawing a walk…
THANK GOD. FINALLY
Beast mode
grand salami
the SLAMBINO
Well that was sorely needed!
i’m growing a moustache
Hamilton really likes new York… anyone know when his contract is up? I guess with this past year his salary will spike and the Rangers won’t want anything to do with him. I’d rather have him than abreu.
he’s not going anywhere. he’s got years to go in Texas, and i think all three arb eligible years to go yet.
I think Jamal is Giambi.
Giambi is my homeboy.
nice DP by cano
Good quick inning by Ponson.
If only Cano could have hit better earlier in the year.
He definitely has an all-star glove (when he’s paying attention).
Pat Venditte rule.

Hold the lead Ponson!
Rather be lucky than good is Ponson’s motto.
Joba Sunday nite versus the Red Sux! I’m chillin’ my beers now!
…. and I’m not in Florida, so I can drive!
c’mon Giambino, take advantage of another error!
The Yanks should bomb Benoit.
Cano is hitting and his luck still sucks
Disregard. Hoping posting gets me off mobile version.
It worked.
Hank told Mussina to start “pitching like Jamie Moyer” and Moose turned his season around right after that.
Hank was quoted yesterday as saying “This is getting ridiculous” with the Yankee offense, and they break out in a big way tonight.
Hank is a genius.
Take out ponson Girardi.
Wow, the blow finally came…
MOTHER****ER!!!!
Why wouldn’t just go to your bullpen Girardi? ugh.
Too little too late, Mr Girardi.
Literally no excuse for Ponson still being in this game.
Thanks for stopping by Ponson, your parting gifts will be waiting outside the clubhouse.
WHY IN THE WORLD would you leave him in for that long.
You gotta wonder some times, thousands of baseball fans would have taken him out while only Joe Girardi would keep him in.
Well it just seem all year can’t get two things right. good pitching bad offense, good offense bad pitching.
Thats a sign of a 500 team.
