Game 39: The Start of Something Big
By
So the Yankees kinda have a good thing going right now. They’re coming off a four-game sweep of the formerly first place Twins, and have won their last six overall. But wait, it gets better.
On the mound tonight is CC Sabathia, who has a 2.84 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and a .552 OPS against in his last four starts (31.2 IP). After a rocky start, it’s safe to say that CC is pitching just like the Yankees expected him to when they forked over $161M over the winter. The last time Sabathia faced the Orioles he twirled the best start of his Yankee career, throwing a four-hit complete game shutout. Eleven days later, the Yankees are looking for the same kind of performance out of their ace.
With Sabathia on the mound there’s a good chance the Yanks won’t need to dig to deep into their bullpen, but in case they need too they’ll have the services of Brian Bruney for the first time in exactly four weeks. Bruney’s return couldn’t have come at a better time, because it looks like Phil Coke will be unavailable tonight after throwing 36 pitches last night. To make room for Bruney on the roster, the Yanks … have done nothing yet. They’re going to make a decision after batting practice, so stay tuned for an update.
Here’s the starting nine:
Jeter, SS
Damon, LF
Teixeira, 1B
A-Rod, 3B
Matsui, DH
Swisher, RF – .148 BABIP in May
Cano, 2B
Melky, CF
Cervelli, C
And on the mound, the sensational southpaw, CC Sabathia.
Update (6:43pm): Edwar Ramirez has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton to make room for Bruney.

Obviously they are taking so long with the roster decision because they dont know how to tell Mo that he has been sent down so that Coke can close.
Coke: You’re better at this than me.
Mo: I know. Get the fuck out of my way.
Coke: Yessir.
What in God’s sweet, sweet name are they waiting for? Designate Veras and be done with it. Let him be someone elses problem.
I mean…I guess I can understand if they want to decide between DFAing Veras and optioning Edwar, but what does BP have to do with anything?
Maybe they are using those guys to throw BP? Edwar’s fastball is well-suited for BP.~
Edwar has options. You send him down first. DFAing Veras should be done at the expense of finally getting one of Robertson/Melancon here full time.
Can’t…can’t it be both?
Yeah, thinking rationally, that makes more sense. Edwar has options to use. No sense is losing Veras for good just yet when he still can have some use in a mop up role or something.
It’s taking so long because Girardi likes Veras, while Cashman likes Edwar as one of his “finds.”
Hey, he found a couple months of serviceable relief pitching for free. Aces. Now get him out of here.
And Joe…you can invite Jose over for Thanksgiving if you like him so much. I’m tired of watching him come in and walk people. Next.
Coke’s save yesterday really took me back to 1996. Those were “exciting” saves.
John Wetteland? I remember him as being pretty good.
He was good, but he had a tendency to walk the tightrope.
indeed, i remember he got the job done, but it seemed like it was always interesting
RHP Edwar Ramirez has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
http://bombersbeat.mlblogs.com/
Is there a particular reason “optioned” is in bold?
nahs no reason. just felt like bolding it.
It just…. just feels good, doesn’t it?
Because it was a bold move, of course.
Edwar optioned per Hoch.
I like this lineup.
Why didn’t you eliminate him Albert?.. hahaha
Guys, I not a machine, okay? I just Albert.
??
What is this meme?
http://tinyurl.com/d9cy4u
I was seconds away from being rather unimpressed with that commercial until the copy machine started talking.
It really pulls it together, doesn’t it?
yes, yes it does.
I can work with this.
Feels like such a long time ago the Yanks had lost five straight…but I like these new Yankees.
Now, if we can win tonight like, say, 12-0 or 14-2, I’ll feel much better. My heart could use the night off.
I’d take 6-3, even. CC gives up 2 in 7 innings, relievers combine to give up one over the last two innings. Yanks score three early, then one every couple innings til the game is over.
Yeah, a blowout would be nice, but I would take a 3 or 4 run lead going into the ninth at this point.
How’s about a game where they do not trail?
Last night they trailed for a whole half inning.
It’s still a come from behind win.
See ya later Edwar! Hope the bullpen door doesn’t hit you on the way out! 1 down 1 to go! Give Veras the boot and let Melancon develop in the Bigs!
When you say “develop”, what do you mean? Would you actually be ok with him failing and still getting to go out there, or is “develop” code for “dominate completely, or else I’ll be disappointed”?
As in be like Joba and strike out the side every time you pitch.
A grounder will result in a shower of boos!!
Well I mean he’s not going to get better pitching to AAA hitters so if he’s one day going to be Mo’s Heir to the Throne then He needs to start facing big league talent every day. If that means he fails then so be it but we will never know until he gets a few months worth of big league work and not just a few weeks. He walked 5 batters and only struck out 2 in 3.1 IP so he clearly needs some work. He’s destroying the Minor league guys but he needs to be up here and working, I mean if we could tolerate Edwar and Veras and Marte why not give Melancon a few months of work even if he struggles at first.
I understand that sentiment as a fan, but the guy did everything we asked of him and never said a bad word about anyone. The fact that he didn’t pitch well this year is unfortunate, but he doesn’t deserve the ass kick on the way out. I’m sure he’s pretty bummed out at getting the news.
I hope we’re winning this game by as much as we should on paper so Bruney can get some low-leverage work in tonight. Nothing too taxing.
I picture him lounging on a chaise, lobbing 65 MPH softballs up to the plate, being fed grapes by Ramiro Pena and Brett Gardner.
So Bruney = Hedonism Bot?
Possibly less fueled-by-booze than Hedonism Bot
Aaaaaand now that’s what I’m picturing too.
Pardon me while I cast this little fantasy differntly.
I wonder how long Tomko will stick around. I wonder if he will be next when the Wanger comes back. I also wonder how long Berroa sticks around. I guess they’re fine with the Damon/Gardner/Melky/Swish OF for now, but when the X-Man comes back, there are even more roster issues. I guess Berroa packs his bags with Nady and maybe Veras packs his bags once Wang comes back with Phil Hughes going to the pen.
Phil Hughes is going to AAA when Wang is ready. He will not be used as mop up duty. He needs to develop.
They’re not going to send Hughes to the pen. They’d send him down to AAA if need be but he’s a starter all the way.
Nady being only able to DH, and Matsui maybe also being only able to DH, definitely creates roster problems. I wonder what the DL czars (aka Jayson Stark) would say if the Yankees activated Nady, then wanted to DL him again later on because they need another outfielder. In my mind, that would be totally fine, but probably its not.
I did not realize that Swisher has a .148 BABIP in May, but I did realize he has struck out in about half his at bats (because Michael Kay might have mentioned that once or twice).
When you combine those two things, I think that leads to a negative batting average. See, Nick can do anything–even bat under zero!
More power to him.

Game 39: The Start of Something Big
… hahahahahaha, Holy Bartender, I get it, that’s a GREAT ONE!
Thank you, thank you.
We’re being overrun by cell phone wavers behind the plate tonight.
I can’t decide whether or not I like the new “Baltimore” road unis.
I feel like it’s a good concept, but poorly executed. It tapers too much; the “B” is too big and the “e” is too small…
Yeah, it’s just too long of a word to pull that off with.
Here’s the old ones from the 70′s:
http://farm2.static.flickr.com.....0b.jpg?v=0
I feel like they over-tapered the wordscript this time and made it more triangular.
Jesus.
Ayayay CC, you gotta make that play.
I think he thought it was hit harder than it was, and Cano had a shot to get two.
Quite possibly.
Whoa, CC, what’s going on?
It’s two singles. TWO SINGLES.
And now it’s a run.
We can easily overcome that and you do know that we’re not getting a complete game shutout every time he pitches right? I’m not sure you know this but if he keeps 1 run throughout the game, it’s actually considered good.
Yes, that would be nice. I am hopeful.
o_0
+1.
I have no idea why CC didn’t reach down for that ball. That was his.
Hey, Roberts and Jones led off CC’s last start against the O’s with singles, and we all know what happened next.
SHHH
Meh, what can you do. Brian Roberts is good at baseball.
bust.
And that’s part of the reason why Cervelli needs to go back to the minors when Jorge comes back. Roberts had a clear path to the plate, you gotta get in his way.
True.
Hopefully our former big league catcher manager and former big league catcher bench coach are pointing that out to him right now.
He’s looked very polished behind the plate since getting here. That one play does not really convince me otherwise. I dont know what the right thing to do is, but I know looking at one weak play after a week of very good plays is not really fair.
Ok fine. 1-0. Bergesen shouldn’t last 9 batters.
CC Gave up a run?!?!?!?!? BUST!
Man, I miss when Jeter had some speed.
Nice recovery there by Bergesen.
Ortiz walks in his first PA.
BANGWAGON.
Whoops! That was ARod homer related, not Ortiz walk related.
Walking David Ortiz would be epic FAIL. How you don’t challenge him is beyond me.
Especially since Brian Tallet is a lefty that can throw pretty hard.
Errrr…no he can’t.
While I will miss the great battles, LOVE that Papi has to rely on a bloop single or walk to get on based. Oh how the mighty have fallen.
FOUR straight games.
So bad for chemistry.
Unclutch bastard!
I wouldn’t take it any other way!!!
We all know A-Rod’s home runs don’t count this early in the game
Of course not. He took steroids so his HR’s do not count. he is a disgrace to baseball and I want him gone from the MLB.
/LoHud
Awesome
He is back. What an AB.
GOOOODNESS! Don’t hurt ‘em Alex. That was just plain mean.
That was a great at bat
Haha too bad it only counts for 1 run because its the first inning of the game.
Where is the crowd? These fans are spoiled.
I very much agree. Yankee fans are the hardest to please.
Ok, one thing that is different this year about this team is they seem to be having more fun and are not as tight as in the past. Best thing to happen to them was ARod missing the first part of the season, let the team develop while keeping media hounds from rehashing a dead story. (Insert Selena Roberts)
Could be that, could be the Burnett & Swisher factor. Whatever it is, I’ll take it.
It’s funny. A week ago, there were all sorts of people posting about how “tight” the team looked, and how Girardi needed to be fired because he was keeping them all cranked up.
Really, folks, it’s just about winning. When a team is winning, they look loose and like they’re having fun. When they’re not, they look tight and cranky. We just crave some kind of narrative, so the media puts one together for us, and projecting our own emotional state onto the team confirms it for us.

THE MOON IS EATING THE SUN! THE GODS ARE MAD AT US!!!!
Where do I sign up to be Justin Tuck’s dorky white friend? I have collared shirts, I like to drink beer.
Yeah if you find out let me know what the waiting list is like cuz I’m plenty dorky and hella (yes hella) white.
Heh. Is it wrong that my first thought was “That’s probably his agent. Or his personal assistant.”
It’s probably wrong.
Haha well he did go to Notre Dame so his chances of having dorky white friends is alot higher than most.
I like Nolan Reimold’s approach at the plate. Very well centered, good hacks.
Yeah, he looks very comfortable up there.
I guess I’m the only Yankees/Nets fan out there, aren’t I?
Yup. Knicks need to win the lottery and get either Griffin (and let Lee go) or Rubio (and let Nate go). that way they replenish with improved talent, plus leave cap space for next year. It’s about time they had some luck.
There are a few of us…
No, there’s got to be others pathetic Jersey fans.
Speaking of basketball, as a Knicks fan, I’m hoping we win the draft lottery, Blake Griffin is a beast. But, I only want to win the #1 pick and take Griffin, I don’t want the second or the third picks, because all of the consensus next four guys (Ricky Rubio, Hasheem Thabeet, Jordan Hill, James Harden) scare the crap out of me, I think all of them have serious limitations.
If we’re not getting Griffin, quite frankly I think the guys who will be there at #8 (Stephen Curry, DeMar DeRozan, Tyreke Evans, Brandon Jennings, Jrue Holliday) may be better than the guys who go #2 and #3. I want no part of Thabeet or Rubio.
Yeah the draft is incredibly weak this year. There’s Blake Griffin and then there’s everyone else.
I actually think the draft is very deep. The problem is, at the very top, it’s littered with some serious bust potential. But, between #6 and #20 I wouldn’t be surprised to find a good 10 or so guys who will all be good NBA players.
Oh well. When in Rome.
Yes, go on…
I think I’d be alright with watching Blake Griffin play for the Knicks.
I’d rather he play for the Nets.
Seconded.
bah.
I see four seats open in the first row behind the plate. Any chance we can get two guys to dress up as umpires and demonstrably ring guys up?
Oh man, when we get Nady and Jorge back, we’ll be virtually unstoppable.
That’s more like it. Fuckin’ shinebox….
What’s CC’s velocity on gameday? MASN has him hitting 95 mph tops…just seeing if that’s correct
Gameday agrees
thanks!!
Nice K.
Alex Rios got caught trying to steal on Tim Wakefield. Wow. Just … wow.
You cannot be serious. Was Varitek behind the plate? How do you get caught stealing on a pitching-catching battery with an aggregate age of 80?
maybe he tripped? Or was shot on the way to 2B?
Pedroia tackled him because it was the gritty thing to do
Maybe he tripped over Pedroia.
Think about it.
Even IETC
Kottaras is catching. But still, he’s a knuckleballer. Jason Giambi used to steal off him.
Damn. I was hoping to work in some free jabs at the SuperCaptain®©™ as well.
o_O
CC is heating up. Good for us, bad for opponents. Just the way it should be….Yankees pounding everyone…
There’s alot to like about that avis commercial.
Alex Rodriguez does the little things to help you win, like wipe his hand before throwing the ball so he gets a good grip.
He’s also very sanitary. Cleanliness is next to Moliness.
Unlike Tim McCarver.
Moliness? Sounds like
Actually, “Molinism” is “Molina-ism.”
CC is cruisin’.
ccruising.
Ha!
Nice.
I saw Angels & Demons today.
Your thoughts? I enjoyed the book. Much better than The DaVinci Code.
I didn’t read this one. I’m glad I didn’t because, it left some suspense in what was to happen. That being said, it was still pretty predictable.
I did like it though. Rebecca, they showed a lot of ancient swords and weaponry.
I went and saw The Da’Vinci Code so that precludes me from seeing it no matter what the reviews are.
Who the fuck has Dave Burba as their favorite pitcher? Seriously?
Although, if you asked me for my favorite baseball, football, and basketball players, I may well tell you Gerald “Ice” Williams, James Hasty, and Trent Tucker…
Shinebox.
” YANKEES slugger Alex Rodriguez seems to have traded in a vintage Madonna for a late-model Kate Hudson.
The blond, Los Angeles-born actress — who met A-Rod at the reopening of the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach last November — was photographed at Friday’s game, cheering on the Bronx Bombers at the new Yankee Stadium.
But the real action came later that night at Mustang Grill on Second Avenue. Our source said a bartender at the Southwestern joint at 85th Street “was asking patrons not to go in the back room around 1 a.m. because A-Rod and Kate Hudson were back there making out.” ”
http://www.nypost.com/seven/05.....169914.htm
Guess that explains her being in the Legend Seats the other night.
Well at least it’s a serious upgrade from Skeletor/Madonna
Big time. I put her half-naked scene in Almost Famous on pause. I don’t care what you think of me.
Heh. Awesome.
I liked the fact that Madonna was having a sweet 16 birthday party in the 1600′s/1700′s in Sunday’s Family Guy episode.
And, coming up next, Shoving Buddies!
Our source said a bartender at the Southwestern joint at 85th Street “was asking patrons not to go in the back room around 1 a.m. because A-Rod and Kate Hudson were back there making out.”
That’s awesome and yet depressingly pathetic at the same time.
sounds like a highschool party.
Well, I’m sure the bartender drops names like that because its good for business. As far the Mother of one and Father of two acting like teenagers . . . well, you’re right.
They’re both divorced and can do whatever they want, but two high profile types like that doing that in public is almost more of a business move more than it is a romantic encounter.
two high profile types like that doing that in public is almost more of a business move more than it is a romantic encounter.
Precisely. This “leak” smells like an unintentional/intentional gossip tidbit for the press.
Think about this: If ARod was, say 7 years younger and dating a younger, hotter starlet, like Kim Kardashian, I could totally picture a scenario where a “leaked” sex tape hits the internets.
Yikes. That’s all we need.
He’s using her to get to her mom.

Proud of yourself, aint ya?
Just think of all the poor little rodents that have suffocated to death just so lil Richard could have a happy ending. Its almost as cruel as that Smoking commercial.
(psst! *thumbs up*)
I love Cervelli’s enthusiasm.
That homer by A-Rod was a shot.
Wow. Shaved head for Bruney.
Bruney looks better with hair.
The bald guys in the bullpen…the three stooges? The three relievers that can actually get outs?
You’re not very optimistic.
I like long(er) hair for guys.
This is the raging female in me speaking.
Not gonna touch that one.
I swear she does it on purpose sometimes…
Or that one.
I miss my long hair. Between the shoulder-blades, but had it chopped off at 21, as it ‘wasn’t professional’.
Cat like reflexes.
Aceves doesn’t really look mexican
Huff 0-18 against CC, I just fist pumped.
I did the spin.
Amen.
Whoever said that when you should cook green beans they should still have a little ‘snap’ in the middle is clueless.
Cook those sumbitches till they scream ‘Uncle’. CARMELIZE those motherfuckers along with the onions. Add the mushrooms last, though. I put them on after the heat is off.
lol, wtf ?
Hey, its an open thread.
The Steve dishes culinary advice WHEREVER HE DAMN WELL PLEASES
AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE…..{insert “the Steve” saying here}
:glass breaks:
cool, as long as your cooking, you wanna make me some refried beans ?
i loveeeee them
I fry my beans ONCE.
Anyone who refries beans is a Philistine.
Anyone who refries beans is a Philistine.
Ah, “Philistine”. The perfect ethnic slur, since there are no more Philistines around to bitch about it.
Bingo.
OMM, Arsenio Hall still has a television show?
Apparently.
Come on A-Rod, we want another unclutch HR.
Alex’s OBP is .409…damn that’s good cpnsidering average is .212 for now.
The four walks on Friday probably help.
*considering
What, no homer ALEX YOU SUCK LOSER!!!!
Can we call this pitcher Turd Bergeson?
Heh.
Just give him a giant hat.
Who is, uh, Pat Morita.
It’s funny. Ya, it’s funny.
Pat Morita was not Chinese.
Okay, where the hell did Burt Reynolds’s podium go? He was right here!
Excellent
I’ll take “Catch the Semen” for $600
“Anal Bum Cover”
I’m not sure the Yankees got the memo that Bergesen has a .411 BAA the second time through the order.
These Cigarette commercials are getting cruel.
That commercial is crazy.
Think it’s like a commercial, next thing you know, dude is bout to die.
MOVIE***
I seriously thought it was a movie preview when it first came out. got me fooled. lol
The Yankees must really enjoy tight ball games.
My heart can’t take a whole lot more of this
TWSS….wait, she did say that.
Clubhouse cancer.
And A-Rod’s lack of lateral movement hurts a bit there.
That’s what Kate said.
Flying V!
We really don’t do well against these nibbling type pitchers… Uehara, Slowey, Palmer etc.
All three of those pitchers have actually pitched quite well against everybody this year.
Eh. But seemingly better against us. I know Palmer went the distance against the BoSox, but that’s about it. I just don’t want to add Bergesen – he of the .348 BAA – to the list.
Matt Palmer currently is 4-0 with a 142 ERA+ and a 0.975 WHIP.
He’s shut down everybody this year.
Ken Singleton: Ornithologist.
Nah, dude just likes birds.

All Orioles look like Cincinnati Reds to you, don’t they?
Now that you mention it, Chad Moeller looks a lot like Todd Benzinger.
Does Adam Jones look like Eric Davis or just play like him?
Both.
wtf? how do you walk zaun?

Me likes CC.
CC says sit-down, punk.

Peter Abraham is on forced leave.

Next thing you know, Mike A. and Joe P. will be in Vegas again.
now if only Trisha’s ISP would fail…
I tried getting through to her one, and then I gave up. I think it’s oaktag on my part that I even tried.
discussion is great, meta-discussion is sometimes OK, her comments go way beyond even useful meta-discussion, and they are always so long. It is nice that you tried…what is oaktag?
How is Kevin Millar still playing baseball effectively.
everyone seems to be trying to hit HRs
Dude, Yankees, it’s okay to get another baserunner.
sigh.
This is brutal.
13 in a row. But honestly, a lot of folks here saw this coming.
Hmmm, they’re doing the draft lottery different this year.
Balls on camera. (Yeah, I said it.)
Ooooohhhhhhh. Just realized something.
If the Sox take 2 of 3 from the Blue Jays, and we sweep the O’s then we’re in a flat footed tie with the Sox and we’re both are 1 game in the loss behind the Jays.
How soon these things can turn around, huh?
If only there was a way for both the Sox and Jays to go 0-3 against each other…
Nope. This part of the season doesn’t count. Only April and September count.
SHHHHHH!
I’d still hope for the Jays to take all 3 vs the sox
I’m in the camp that doesn’t buy them for one minute.
So the talk down here in Tampa is that the Rays are looking around to trade Kazmir because, as the talking radio heads say, he’s done like “big papi done”. They say he’s only hitting 87-88 now and they should trade while he still has some value.
I think its crazy to give up on him because of his history and age I think he might be in a similar boat as Cliff Lee, Greinke, Verlander where they have a bump in the road one year for whatever reason. I’m a little biased as I’ve always wanted to see him in pinstripes.
This may not be the place to ask this but what are all your thoughts?
As soon as you list “talking radio heads” as your main source you gotta take a step back.
Hmm. Something about that rubs me the wrong way. I’m not sure why, but I wouldn’t.
I mean, what would we have to give up?
Too much.
“he’s done like “big papi done””
Meaning steroids?
I don’t know if there’s anything to that, but he’s a little guy who a power pitcher and they usually don’t hold up well. He had the elbow problem last year, I’ll bet its something related to that and he’s trying to pitch through it.
I guess I’ll think about Kazmir for Veras, at least Veras has “upside”
Put him in TEH BULLPEN!1!!1
I donno, too much to give up.. and frankly he is not more than a #3… and health issues too
The Mets got a bust in return… but Kazmir has been held back by a ton of injuries too… so buyer beware
Kazmir’s career could end today, and it would still be a terrible trade, literally a franchise crippler.
Think of where the Mets would have been had they NOT made that deal. Probably get to the WS in 2006, and the playoffs each of the past 2 years. They’d be the best team in town, and the Yanks would be playing catch-up.
They probably don’t ever need to force feed Oliver Perez a rotation spot.
Where did Cervelli get a bat?
Seriously, I am kind of in love with this kid. I am definitley in love with the eyes.
Reminds me of this guy.

Its really amazing the things you find on Google

Cervelli is unimpressed by your step off, Bergeson.
Cy Bergesen?
This Bergeson kid went to the same high school as Phil Hughes, drafted the same year too.
That was a hit and run minus the hit.
Allan Houston is one smooth, suave muthaf$#%ka.
Kevin Love looks like he’s wearing a suit for the first time in his life.
Where is Joey H to bitch about you bringing up the NBA Draft?
Like on NFL Draft day… how he made a big to do about it.
Heh. Open threads are like international waters.
…aaaaaand both the Knicks and Nets stay put.
Heh. The Sacramento Kings are cursed. NO SOUP FOR YOU!
This is funny.
So much suspense….
That was ugly.
Not cool Kay.
BAh 8th
haha the kings got fooked.
Thunder has got to get it.
Durant, Griffin, and Westbrook. Be nice.
I’m a little nervous about the concept of Kevin Durant and Blake Griffin united…
No worries.
I can’t wait for the disappointment someone will get when drafting Thabeet.
Ironically, Thabeet on the Thunder works pretty well… He can’t score, but with Durant, Green, and Westbrook they’ve already got scoring galore.
Hahah I know right. He’s tall. Thats it.
what’d the nets get?

a 3-run jack from a-rod would certainly be nice right now. I’ll take a base hit just to not appear greedy.
In a month, A-Rod will drive that pitch to right for a double.
