News & Notes
- On Joel Sherman's Hardball blog he mentioned that Joe Girardi would look to get Nick Swisher three starts a week, plus he'd have him pinch-hit as well.
- Will Carroll mentioned on his Twitter page that Alex Rodriguez has begun hitting off a tee. He also believes he will return to the Yankees before the May 15th date they've been mentioning.
- Not Yankee related, but Jonathan Papelbon continues to prove how much of a punk he is. This time by complaining about the Red Sox opening day ceremony.

Cashman Convinced Hal On Teixeira
Kat O'Brien of Newsday writes today about the Yankees' pursuit of Mark Teixeira. In talking to Brian Cashman, O'Brien learned that the GM's persistence finally led to the go-ahead from Hal Steinbrenner; for much of the offseason, Tex wasn't an option. At the time of Cashman's December meeting with Teixeira and Scott Boras, the Yankees were not expecting to sign the slugger. According to Cashman:
"When I met with him, I was doing it more to get leverage on CC. We weren't playing possum on purpose. We were actually out of it."
Cashman was able to convince Hal with this pitch regarding the Red Sox:
"I know you're not interested, but they're going to get this guy. He's going to fall in their lap, and he's so perfect for us."
Thank u MLB trade rumors
i read that like an hour ago.
I thought it was kinda intresting.
Thanks for posting the lineups guys
I like how Joe said he plans to start Swish in RF 3 times a week. I think that's awesome.
Papelbon's a bitch. That's all. :)
Is it tea time?
I love rounders!
Bravely bold Sir Sidney rode forth from Kansas City. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Sidney. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Sidney. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Sidney. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis...
hahaha, KC fans even booed Farnsworth. Everyone hates him!
so is this how its going to be, the Yankees start winning and the chatter dries up?
Hahahaha great stuff Will... I just got back home. Had to watch the first part of the game in a bar.
Bunt time...
BBR Ransom
Yup, terrible.
Matsui looks like shit.
Yup, he sure does.
Greg can you see if you can allow IMG tags in comments?
I don't think it works.
Come on Brett, don't be afraid of the wall. That ball almost hit you in the head.
ah how interesting, blogger doesn't seem to have an option to allow even img tags. the queen is not pleased.
I really like Royols ballpark a lot. And its a nice day there. Too bad it's cold.
Nice pic Will.
You can post a link to an image. Besides that blogger doesn't let commenters do much.
Yea Liam, the renovations to Kauffman look really nice.
I gotta go.
Aight, later Liam.
Im listening to Waldman and Sterling, I think my ears are starting to bleed. Why do the Yankees have some of the worst announcers in sports.
I wonder that myself, Will.
Six strong from Andy. Great job so far. .... YES! Here comes Kyle!
lol
But of course he's going to be dominant against us.
Ive been wondering if it would be possible to do a rogue online Yankee broadcast - maybe calling the game by watching YES. Set up a server in China or something. I wish I had time or cared that much to do it every night. Would be easier to do with football.
Like a radio broadcast online?
Wow, he strikes out the fucking side. ROFLMAO!!!!!
yah
Is that even illegal?
legal you mean? nothing worth doing is legal. it would likely be a copyright violation, at least the yankees would certainly try to shut it down that way. but serving out of china makes it tough to stop.
In Andy we Trust.. great job today.
YANKEES WIN, THAAAAA YANKEES WIN!!!!
