  2. Clemens. Winfield.

    Did they already say A-Rod?

    And every pitcher Cashman has traded for.

  3. Take Tim Raines off this.
    He looked quite good in Pinstripes and was a valuable member of WS team.
    Add Andruw Jones

  5. Yeah, a 23-year-old who is hurt about as soon as he hits camp.

    Why am I not surprised?

    I think it's more than coincidence that Judge really broke out once he abandoned the Yankees' trainers and coaches. I don't know why anyone would not do the same.

  6. I remember Tim Raines in one of his WS at-bats. I was watching on tv, must have been FOX. Ump called a strike and Raines yelled "BULL SHIT!!!" so loud that the tv microphone picked it up. And he proceeded to stare daggers at the ump. The ump didn't do anything, didn't throw him out, didn't even warn him. I was a Tim Raines fan after that!

  7. Well done re Doc and Straw. They're Yankees.

  8. I liked Flash, two good years. I would place the RP slot on the Yankees that stunk but became good elsewhere in the end, making it awkward they started here but succeeded elsewhere....like Kirby Yates and Mark Melancon.

  9. Boone. Admittedly great homer against the Socks; if he'd never come back he'd always have that. I can't imagine what makes a man armed with a momentary success for the ages not settle for it as his entire importance. Dip a cap at Old Timer's Day? Cool. "Fucking Savages" worked for a while but seems to have farted itself out of our minds except for brief moments; not like the guy backed it up. I know he has a great winning percentage (reg. sea.) and the dude can cross his arms defensively and spew, nay, launch bullshit like no other. And I accept the nonsense, maybe: you get paid a lot to bullshit people and he's great at it. And he CAN do it. The broadcasting of BS seeds? He's your boy. But he only got them to the dance in '03. They didn't win. It's a pattern, or would be if it ever approached the goal closely enough to become one. When I see him in uni...oh, wait: he never wears the full pinstripe uniform. Tosses on the smock for the win. Nothing to see here. Forget all this. :)

  10. PS My apology to all of you for capitalizing socks.

  11. How does a 23-yo get bruised ribs in ST ?
    No swings. No HP collisions . No errant swing by someone outside the cage.
    It ain't football preseason.
    Surprise hug from Don Lemon?
    [Too soon?]

  12. I want to say Jacoby Ellsbury but I don't remember ever seeing him in a Yankee uniform.

    It's Tampa. Strip club accident?

  14. It's the fascination with full body massages and leg scissors. These guys have got to stop calling Viscount Victoria and her Voluptuous Viking Vixens. We've seen it before: Carlos Correa (broken rib); Judge (broken rib): Phil Hughes (broken rib). Last I heard, Viscount Vicky was in midtown Manhattan but apparently she sends operatives down to Tampa, for a special emergency in call fee. It's expensive, but these guys can certainly afford it.
