News & Notes
- Chien-Ming Wang will make one more minor league start tomorrow in Pawtucket for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and Phil Hughes will make the start for the Yankees Monday against the Rangers.
- Joba Chamberlain is 2-0 witha 2.18 ERA in 11 games (two starts) against the Orioles. This year he's 1-0, with a 4.50 ERA in one start. He allowed three runs on nine hits in Baltimore on May 10th.
- Adam Eaton is 2-1, with a 5.17 ERA in three career starts against the Yankees. He pitched one game at the old stadium back in 2004 for the Padres. He went seven and allowing just two runs on four hits, walked three and struck out four, and picked up the win.This year he's made one start against them and he picked up a win while going five while allowed four runs on four hits, walked five and struck out just one.
- Johnny Damon is out because he wrenched his neck when he jumped for Adam Jones home run yesterday. He should only miss one game.
- The Yankees have won 10 of their last 12 and eight in a row. A win tonight would give the Yankees their longest winning streak of the Joe Girardi era.

Stick around and discuss the game

Girardi sure saved his job.
Yankees are hot since ARod rejoined and CC started pitching. Lesson there seems to be CC needs to start sprint training in Jan.
Tonight is a great night for baseball, even better than Tuesday. Ticket demand on Stubhub was lackluster this week even tho the weather forecast all week has been for perfection tonight. Seems like prices in the middle tier have a floor at about $45 closer to dugout and $20 as you get to 205 (unless you want to sit in the back row, which i think sucks).
I'll be sitting in 206, row 4, seats 4 + 5. I got my tickets for $29 + fees so really $35 each. Full season ticket plan face price is $40. Not bad, and in row 4 I might just catch a ball.
Let's go Yankees!!!
Trenton just got perfect gamed.
lol
This is why the yankees cant have three catchers when Molina and Posada come back. Matsui and Damon are very fragile. Nady wont see the outfield until August he is coming off DL as a pinch hitter/DH. You need 1 roster spot for a 4th outfielder who is Gardner and you need another utility infielder which is Pena and the backup catcher will be Molina. And Nady will have the last spot.
So Cervelli will have to go back to the minors.
So is Wang pitching in today's game cause Kontos is pitching right now?
Wang is pitching tomorrow.
Hopefully Joba doesn't have to miss any time.
So Greg .. jiinx the bullpen or what?? this will be tough for them to battle
Damn, hopefully Aceves can keep the O's off balance seeing as how they weren't prepared for him.
This has nothing to do with the bullpen. If I had said "it's a good thing they're healthy," then I could be blamed.
ahhhh it never ends yanks are on a role everything is good...joba takes a line drive to the leg. knocks him out of the game...ahhh it never ends!
This is clearly a test for the bullpen tonight.
8.1 innings (at least) could be damaging.
Who starts tomorrow? Sabathia? He could give the bullpen a needed rest.
Aceves is a starter he can give them at least four or five. They could also used Tomko for more than an inning, maybe even three if they need it. The best thing they can do is score four or five runs.
Good shit, great way to start the game.
Nice Tex! 2-0 Yanks on back-to-back-to-back doubles.
WOoooooo, let's go Tex
HAHAHAHAHAHA what the hell was up with the close up of A Rod's face, looks like he wanted to cry.
Nice start to the game.
What a jackass play by Melky but it still helped.
Yea Crossfire, that's exactly what they needed.
Nice, two more, 6-0 Yanks!
Robbie's starting to heat up again.
This team is awesome right now, simply awesome.
Man Toronto is losing 3-0 already, looks like the AL East is a major flaw in Toronto's game.
lol I don't think Toronto is that good, they seem to be a product of a weak schedule.
Quick hook for Aceves, I thought he would go at least another inning. Oh well he did a great job... Of course Albaladejo gives up a homer. I knew I shouldn't have said anything.
Aceves pitched two innings yesterday (23 pitches), so I'm not surprised he's out of this one after 3.1 IP. Gotta give that kid credit--he did a great job.
Trembleys face was like this 8D when he took out eaton, wtf
That's right, Chris. Totally forgot he pitched yesterday.
(y)=====D (())
Thats what we did to Eaton
ROFLMAO
Sorry to jump back in time 4 innings here, but I have a question about the line drive Chamberlain took in the leg. To me, it looked like the ball hit him in the lower thigh, but I read an article that said it hit him on the knee. Does anyone have better information than I do about this?
I thought it hit him on the side of the knee. And from all the articles I've read, that's what people are saying.
Also, Dave Trembley looks exactly like William Shatner.
Thanks, Greg. Hopefully it isn't too serious.
hahahah you're right Christopher, he does.
Ah damn it I knew I was gonna jinx them.
Ultimately, the problem with Jonathan Albaladejo is that he just isn't very good. Either that, or he has a guilty pleasure for giving up big leads.
X-rays on Joba's knee were negative. Looks like we dodged a bullet.
Yup, good news. I just posted the info in a separate post above.
You jinxed 'em Greg.
I know, I know.
I'm so sick of Albaladejo blowing games...Ok, so I just checked his stats, and it turns out that he just turned in 8 straight appearances without giving up a run. It seems like he's giving up runs anytime I ever see him pitch. At any rate, I'm much happier watching Veras pitch.
Veras scares the hell out of me. It's gotta be Aceves/Coke for the 6th and 7th, Bruney the 8th, and Mo in the 9th. That needs to be the formula.
I prefer blowout victories. BUT, if I wanna try to look on the bright side, I might get a hold out of Bruney and a save out of Rivera--either would give my fantasy team a real boost, lol. Still, I hope they hit 6 home runs in a row this inning to put it out of reach.
I like that formula too. Veras was lights-out last year, though. I'm waiting for that guy to show up. He's got great stuff--I think he'll come around.
He does have great stuff, and that's what makes it even more frustrating. If he could throw strikes consistently he would be nearly unhittable.
.... Veras out there must mean no Mo tonight and Bruney is closing.
uhhhh so much for that. So where's Bruney?
Yea, you definitely jinxed them.
I know!
Got out of the inning. Thank god. This game is wayyy closer than it should be.
They need another big, put the game away inning.
What they need now is for Rivera to come out focused, and get a nice, one-two-three inning. Let's get this one in the books.
Actually, I take that back. Rivera pitched over an inning yesterday, which was ridiculous. I'd rather see Girardi give Bruney a chance to close this one out. I think Rivera should be limited to one-inning outings, and after the atypical night he had last night, he should have a night off to rest.
At least it was a nice, short inning. Nice little nine-game winning streak we've got going here!
YANKEEEEEEEEEEEEEES WIN THAAAAAA YANKEES WWWWIIIINNN!! dadadada
doouble digits tomorrow!!!1!111!!
I was surprised to see Mo. I hope someone asks Girardi where Bruney was.
Agreed.
Smart move by Girardi not using Phil Coke. With all the Phillies lefty's he will be used a lot over the weekend.
Maybe Girardi wanted to give Bruney two days off after his injury.
Yeah, I'm not sure but I was thinking that they wanted to limit Bruney a bit. He's throwing heat and a little extra rest can't hurt.
Of course, I don't want to see Mo get overworked either.
Good win for the Yanks with Joba going out early. Hoe he makes his next start.
God UPN's post game show is awful you dont get any answers to some of these questions.
