UPDATE 6:28 p.m.: Just got an email from the good people at UTZ Chips. They've released a special edition bag in honor of the new Yankee Stadium.
It'll be available throughout the New York area and in the Stadium this season. Utz has been a Yanks sponsor for 10 years, and they make some damn good chips too.So I guess tonight's game thread is the Utz Sliding Into Home game thread.
UPDATE 8:57 p.m.: Burnett is finished for the night: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 1 K
Yanks now up 5-1 in the top of the 5th.
Stick around and discuss the game

uh-oh. lead off triple for Inglett to begin the game.
They held him, too bad they didn't score with the rally they had in their half.
Used to see the Utz advertising at YS on TV when I would watch games as a kid, I made my mom get me some
Thank God that hit his non throwing arm.
2-1 Bombers, RBI double by Posada, 7th RBI for him this spring.
Jorge really had to get down to get that ball. Great piece of hitting.
Swish hits 2-out double, Yanks lead 3-1.
Nicely done Nick.
Nice at bat by Swish.
I got a little worried when he fouled the ball of his foot.
Same here. It KILLS. I did that a lot last year.
I did in one at-bat but I ended up crushing a home run the next pitch (no joke).
I had to ajust my swing a little bit so it wouldn't happen that much. I love the ball low and in.
Which side of the plate do you hit on? I'm a switch hitter.
I used to switch hit when I was younger.. I'm a natural lefty, though.
Not to brag, but I'm the cleanup hitter for my team. I bat righty and my dad says I play a pretty mean first base.
In fact I have practice tomorrow at the batting cages.
I'm a big guy so I hit homeruns. 6 feet 170 pounds. If your thinking that i'm fat than think again. I LOVE to work out. Each day after school, my brother and I go to a gym.
Same here Liam. i'm 155 pounds, 5 foot 11. But I don't work out.
I am a power hitter as well.
I love to work out, thats why I probably through 83 mph.
83? A week ago you said 75?
I'm a power hitter as well. I play on the big dimand and I hit 3 homers last year and it was my first time on the big dimand. ( 2 homers were in the same game).
I went outside one day and my dad has a radar gun and it said 83.
i'm actually planning to start working out in a month or so at my local gym, to beef up my body a bit more.
I stop working out a week ago just becasue I gotta get ready for tryouts for my middle school team.
Damn u guys are big dudes.
But Liam, how the hell do u throw that hard?
Oh. Radar guns don't lie.
Anyway, I just looked up my stats on my baseball team's page and last season, here's what I hit:
.304 BA, 12 HRs, 29 RBIs,
Those are pretty good, if I do say so myself. What are your stats?
Yanks now lead 4-1 on a Melky RBI single.
Well this is what I did on the little dimand a year and a half ago.
.450 19 homers 39 rbis made all star team.
Big Dimand
.367 3 homers 28 RBIs
Nice brushback pitch.
That was.
nice Liam!
I don't know what brought this to mind but I was wondering why the ambidexorous pitcher is not in big-league camp. He pitches for Scranton/Wilkes Barre and has been in the minors for 3 years. When will we see him in pinstripes?
I'm sorry but i'm doing history homework and I need help on a question. It's about Hitler.
In waht ways did Hitler control his leadership?
Burrnet pitched good.
Pat Venditte pitched for the SI Yanks last year. Is that who you're talking about?
Hitler was, first and foremost, determined to command personally. According to his so-called Leader Principle (Führerprinzip), ultimate authority rested with him and extended downward. At each level, the superior was to give the orders, the subordinates to follow them to the letter. In practice the command relationships were more subtle and complex, especially at the lower levels, but Hitler did have the final say on any subject in which he took a direct interest, including the details of military operations, that is, the actual direction of armies in the field.
Moreover, as time went on he took over positions that gave him ever more direct control. From leader (Führer) of the German state in 1934, he went on to become commander-in-chief of the armed forces in 1938, then commander-in-chief of the army in 1941. Hitler wanted to be the Feldherr, the generalissimo, exercising direct control of the armies himself, in much the same sense that Wellington commanded at Waterloo, albeit at a distance.
Hope that helps.
Greg,
Oh, the SI Yankees! Sorry I thought he was in AAA.
It helps Yankeboy thanks a lot.
anytime liam.
I wish I can throw both arms like Pat.
Wow we are really off subject.
Yea a little bit.
Greg what made you stop switch hitting?
I'm not sure really. Once I got into fifth grade everyone played basketball and my school didn't have a baseball team so I stopped playing for a while. In hindsight it really pisses me off.
Sorry to hear that.
Matsui looks good at the plate too.
Yea he does Anon.
5-1 Yanks. 5th inning, Posada still catching. Bruney in.
It's going to be hard when Posada isn't behing the plate in a few years. Hopefully Montero will be the same as Jorge.
Montero can hit a ton, it's just a matter of being able to catch.
Like I said, hopefully he is like Posasda.
I see Montero becoming then next Posada.
Maybe if he has a good season we could see him getting a call-up in September or making the team as a backup catcher in 2010. That's the same way Posada started out. He didn't become the starting catcher until 1998, but he was the backup in 96 and 97.
5-3 Yanks. Mo coming in.
Don't forget he is starting in Tampa this season.
who Montero?
