Nice way to get things stated Jeet!

Greg Cohen said...

Yep, too bad Abreu couldn't do more with that 3-1 pitch... Let's see what the Material Girl can do here.

Greg Cohen said...

And of course he strikes out. 2 for his last 18 since the divorce was made public.

That ball was very catchable, Abreu is awful.

ABREU YOU'RE A PUSSY!! THE WALL WONT KILL YOU.

rasner sucks. time to try out someone else.

Greg Cohen said...

Rasner should never start at the major league level again. In fact, with all the arms the Yankees have in AA and AAA he should just be released.

Abreu is a joke of an outfielder. Does he know the walls are padded?

Anonymous said...

why do the Yankees baby the guys the have in the minors so much? Get them up here! Rasner has nothing great, just average to below average pitches. Someone has to be ready to come up, grow a pair of nuts Cashman, if they suck send them back down.

Greg Cohen said...

I really don't know why they do that. Aceves was hurt and only threw 3 innings in his first start in AAA, he's probably two starts away. But Daniel McCutchen has been great in AAA lately, and probably could start in the majors right now.

M-Rod said...

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

o boy! i sense a possible sweep. looks like they just want the weekend to be over so the can have there all star break.

Greg Cohen said...

Wow, Abreu is just running a clinic on how NOT to play the outfield today.

Another stinking loss in the making.

Anonymous said...

anyone else sick of Abreu, Greg probably. I know he works the count and gets clutch hits here and there, but he's horrible in the field and he is no longer the hitter he once was. Any ideas on who they could have in right field next year?

M-Rod said...

i dont know if its a sign from above or not but my mom's dog just ripped apart a blue jay in the backyard. blue feathers flying all over. if we could somehow find a way to channel that same aggression into the yankees offense we will be in good shape.

Greg Cohen said...

I'm sick of Abreu being a bitch. He has to understand that the walls are padded and sliding/diving for balls is part of being a good outfielder.

He's also hitting around .225 since he hit that line drive off Blackburn's head in Minnesota, and after seeing how shaken up Abreu was after it happened, I do think it has effected his play. Blackburn is fine, move the f*** on, and get over it.

Right field next year? Damon will be in left, Melky in center, maybe Gardner if he shows he can hit, A-Jax if he can get to AAA this year. Not sure who the free agent class consists of.

Greg Cohen said...

OK, bases loaded one out, down 3.

Can they do anything?

M-Rod said...

you know my mom's dog made that happen....woof

Greg Cohen said...

lol you might be right

Anonymous said...

For the love of God Jeet hit the ball in the air.

Greg Cohen said...

Well he did his best to roll into yet another DP, but luckily Scutaro couldn't make the play. It had to be your mom's dog again.

Anonymous said...

Abreu's putting on a clinic, and its only the second inning

Greg Cohen said...

YES ALEX! Thank you, big f***ing hit.

Anonymous said...

we may set a new mark with comments, mid 20's in the middle of the 2nd inning, wow.

Anonymous said...

I see a slugfest brewing! Just keep putting up runs boys.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, definitely a new record for two innings. Usually don't get this many in a full game. Thanks guys, keep it up!

This could be one of those 14-11 type games.

Anonymous said...

Robbie's gotta make that play.

Now the umps screw the Yanks once again.

Greg Cohen said...

Can these umps go back to umpiring school or something? They've been so bad this year it's ridiculous. Not only for the Yankees, but for all teams. They can't seem to get a close-call right this year.

Greg Cohen said...

hahahaha I thought you were just joking around.

Anonymous said...

nice, give that dog a treat.

Anonymous said...

yeah Brett! I can see he will be a clutch player throughout his career.

Greg Cohen said...

Well he's 4-for-9 with RISP now, so you might be right.

Anonymous said...

this game might be more than 14-11. We may approach 20 runs.

Anonymous said...

o wait a lefty long reliever, he'll probably throw 5 innings of no hit ball. Abreu has made 3 of the 9 outs, the second spot has not worked so far.

Greg Cohen said...

Maybe I wasn't so crazy for suggesting to possibly move him down in the order.

Anonymous said...

yeah, some people were flipping out after you said that. I didnt. I would be up for Giambi hitting 3rd and Abreu 5th, just an idea.

M-Rod said...

yeeeeah a-rod!!! my brotha from anotha motha!!!!!

Greg Cohen said...

Looks like he may be coming out of his divorce slump.

Anonymous said...

Get Rasner out of this game. He's a bad pitch away from letting the Jays back in this game. Girardi has to stop caring about getting his starters the win. Get the team the win.

Unknown said...

damn 41 comments already? thats what i get for mixing vodka and vitamin water last night (had no other chasers, had to make due). haha.

All around good wake up for these bats, but of course now that we win the rays n sox will win today. Damn it wouldve been nice to gain ground the last two days.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, everyone's very talkative today, plus Godriguez's mom's dog killed a blue jay.

Very good to see this team hitting, hopefully they can continue to hit tomorrow and after the break.

Anonymous said...

a side note: Brian Fuentes says he prefers to play for the Yankees ( if traded).- Nice play Overbay.

Unknown said...

Savage, savage dog you got there, Im gonna vote he be put down, for fear of the blue jay community.

J/K, haha. Good work pup.

Ya know, if David Wright can be added to the All-Star team to replace Soriano(who im glad is still coming to the stadium to see his fans), why isnt Jermaine Dye (or preferably The Big G) being added as a replacement for Ortiz? Is it cause hes a DH and its an easy fix?

Shenanigans! Shenanigans! Get your brooms!

Greg Cohen said...

I was wondering that myself Derek. I'm not sure what they're doing to replace him.

Unknown said...

Nice! I see they got rid of the Douchebag on the business report! Excellent work Fox.

PS- Fuck Brian Fuentes, Bruney's close to coming back, and with Edwar, Robertson, Veras, Farnsy n Mo, I think we have the pen covered quite well. Tho ill still take Marte for lefties :)

Greg Cohen said...

That idiot was so annoying.

I don't really want Fuentes either, I don't think they need him right now, especially for what he would probably cost. If we could literally steal him for the Rockies, then I'd go for it.

Anonymous said...

good, now win tomorrow.

Greg Cohen said...

Yes, gotta go into the break on a high note.

Thanks for all the comments today people!
