Game 103. Mitre awful as Yanks lose 10-5.

YANKEES (62-40) Jeter SS Swisher RF Damon LF Teixeira 1B Rodriguez 3B Matsui DH Posada C Cano 2B Cabrera CF Hinske LF  RF Pitching: RHP Sergio Mitre (1-0, 5.91). Clayton Richard was supposed to start for the White Sox tonight, but he was in the Peavy deal. Righty D. J. Carrasco goes for the Pale Hose instead. A day off for J.D. I take it that Hinske is in LF? I know it’s been [read more...]

Trade talk as deadline looms. UPDATE: The deals. Yanks get Hairston.

Forget someone else as far as potential new Yankees at the deadline. Washburn goes to the Tigers for left-handers Luke French and Mauricio Robles. It looks like Halladay is staying in Toronto, so it looks like the Yanks will be facing him next week. Washburn is having a bounce-back year. 8-6, 2.64. ERA+ 162. What I’m concerned about is the Red Sox rumors [read more...]

Game 102. Yanks in the Windy City. Ortiz next PED User “out-ted”.

It isn’t fair to out the PED user list one name at a time, but another name came out today. First A-Rod, then Manny (guilty this year but now confirmed on the 2003 list), Sosa and now Big Papi. Innocent until proven guilty. I had my suspicions now it seems that they are confirmed. I know it won’t happen, but in [read more...]

Hey, Boston fans: STFU

It looks like Christmas came early for Jimmy Dugan. After enduring endless amounts of shit from my Red Sox fan friends about the Yankees' links to steroids, I have been vindicated.The New York Times is reporting that both David Ortiz AND Manny Ramirez were on the list of 104 steroid users in 2003 (you know, the list that A-Rod was [read more...]
