News & Notes

- The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees lost 6-2 to Pittsburgh in their spring training opener yesterday. Here's more on the game from Chad Jennings.

- Francisco Cervelli was optioned to Double-A Trenton following yesterday's game. He hit .250/.231/.333 with an RBI in 8 games this spring.

- CC Sabathia is staying back in Tampa and pitching a minor-league game at 1 p.m. against players from the Pirates organization. Jorge Posada will remain in Tampa for that game as well.

- In case you missed it, there was an article in today's Daily News about A-Rod and Eliot Spitzer's madam. She's now claiming that the two dated and that she also provided him with escorts. Nine more years people, nine more years.

Stick around and discuss the game
as it happens in the comments section.

I have Direct TV and its on the SUNRAYS network, so I have the game on (Gardner beat the throw but never got his hand on the bag, infielder's foot blocked it)

As for AROD front page story (with all that's going on in the world - this is front page news)

I don't really care what A-Rod did back in '06 with some escort. I just don't want him to become an even bigger distraction to his teammates.

A-Rod is an idiot. I'm not saying we're better off without him, but I wouldn't mind trading him. I'm not saying it'd be easy to do so, but I think it can be done.

My dream trade would be A-Rod to Washington for Zimmerman, along with us paying $90 million of his remaining contract or so.

I know that will never happen, but a man can dream can't he? ;)

Gardner got a single and drew a walk in his two at bats against David Price. That is great to see against a tough lefthander.


Sean Avery was also a client in Elliot Spitzer call girl list. I'm sure there are many professional athletes using hookers.

I agree anon, I'm sure the number of pro athletes who mess with escorts/hookers exceed 25%. Probably by a lot too.

If Jeter has 7 bedrooms, then he will have a lot od Hookers.

A-Rod is a joke. He's starting to become a embarresment to the Yankees and the fans.
