Now what are they going to tell us? Mark Teixeira slept on his wrist wrong? I don't think he hurt his wrist sleeping.....
I don't want to hear, everyday, how there has been no improvement in his mysteriously sore wrist. Give him CC's heating pad or something.
Better yet, let's bite the bullet now, put this $161 million investment on the DL and bring Shelly Duncan back.
Shelly can be a late inning defensive replacement for Nick Swisher. Either that, or let's get Nick a much longer glove, perhaps one made to resemble the trunk of an elephant.
That way, when he has to bend over for a ground ball, at least some part of his glove can get below his knee.
And Girardi has to let his pitchers pitch. I don't much care for Aceves, but he should get to face a second hitter when he got squeezed for a walk by a homer ump who wanted to get out of the rain and into the barbeque. Attention Joe; You were up by a run, there were two out, one guy on first and you are supposed to trust this Aceves. If not, send him back to the Dirt Field League.
Just as a brief reminder, in case no one has heard me, David Robertson ( see Scranton ) is better than any of these independent league clowns we keep rolling out there in relief. The guy can actually throw strikes.
Isn't that what relief pitchers are meant to do? Isn't that why MO is the best in the world?
And now for Cody Ransom.
This is a sad story. He has worked 33 years to get this shot. Only to learn and demonstrate to the world that he is over-matched at this level.
He can't handle it mentally, as shown in a shaky defensive performance which is, ordinarily, his his core strength. And now he is striking out like a 5th grader who is afraid of getting hit by the pitch.
It is called, " bailing out and flailing." It is embarassing.
I wanted him to shine. He was great in Tampa two year's running. It would have been such a great story. But baseball is hard. And cruel, sometimes.
The reality is: even that Barreoa ( OK , I cannot spell ) dude is far, far bettter for the Yankees at third base than Cody. Not to mention the kid (who is a natural SS).
Get a grip Joe, it is time to send this great name back where it belongs.
Back to Wyoming.

Cody Ransom looks like a Chernobyl baby

It was Veras, not Aceves who let up the walk.
But I second this opinion. Girardi was so freaking worried about the stupid matchups that he took the lefty specialist Marte out after two quick outs, put Veras in for one batter, and then put another lefty back in (Coke). I like Coke but does Veras really need to come in? Why not just bring in Mariano for the four out save if Veras is only gonna face one batter?
Terrible job by Girardi managing the pen.
Thanks, Scotty.....I do confuse those Independent Dirt League Alumni....
Alph,
It's a good thing you weren't blogging when Lou Gehrig broke in. He struck out on three pitches and fell down while walking back to the dugout. You would have had him back in Columbia, studying to be a veterinarian.
Give Cody Ransom a chance! He is going to turn it around.
Shelley as a defensive replacement? You've been hitting the tequila way too hard, Alphonso. I do like the elephantine glove for Swisher though. Berroa isn't better than anyone except maybe Wilson Betemit.
Cody Ransom is being paid off, very handsomely I might add, by one Alex Rodriguez. He is being told to stink up the joint so the people of New York will be eager to see AROD return and will greet him with open arms and an outpouring of love.
Despite Mr. Ransom's best efforts, the plan will not work.
I prefer your other mugshot. This one reminds me of Ned Beatty playing a Mexican version of Wallace Beery or maybe Anthony Quinn.
What did you say, anyway?
