News & Notes


Break up the Yankees? Not so fast:
They've lost the first three games of this series, four of their last five, and five of their last eight. They begin play today just a half-game up on the Red Sox in the AL East.

- CC Sabathia is 14-4, with a 3.65 ERA in 26 career starts against the White Sox. He's 7-1, with a 2.98 ERA at U.S. Cellular.

- In 8 career starts against the Yankees Mark Buehrle is 1-5, with a 6.11 ERA. The last time he faced the Yanks was on 9/15/08, and that day he lasted 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits, he did not walk a batter and struck out 6 on his way to a no decision.

- The Yankees are 21-13 against left-handed starters this year, and they lead the majors with a .291 average against lefties.

- Derek Jeter leads all of baseball with a .436 BA and a .519 OBP against left-handers..

- In 2009 the Yanks are 0-11 against teams with the word "Sox" in their name.

- Mike Ashmore has a couple tweets about Jesus Montero and his hand injury. For those who don't know, he was hit on the hand by a pitch thrown by Lance Pendleton in yesterday's game and immediately left the game.

Last night he posted this: "
Big news in Yankeeland...looks like Jesus Montero might miss some time with a hand injury. P.J. Pilittere heading to Trenton."

Then had this to say a little while ago: "Will have some Montero info today, it seems. Doesn't sound good, though.
"

Updated 1:21 p.m.: Peter Abraham is now reporting that "Jesus Montero has a fractured middle finger. Out 4-6 weeks." He will miss the remainder of the minor-league season.

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

Anon, racial slurs and nonsense like that will not be tolerated on this blog. Ransom is horrible but let's just leave it at that.

Greg Cohen said...

Wow, nice play by Hairston. If A-Rod is at third there's a runner on first base right now.

Will said...

Where is that logo from? Did brian boitano buy the white sox?

So looks like yankees are maybe not holding up well against the tougher portion of the schedule...again. boston of course will be the big test.

Greg Cohen said...

That is the White Sox logo from 1949-1970.

Meanwhile, Boston is winning 7-0 already so they've already won.

Greg Cohen said...

Wow, another ball A-Rod wouldn't have come close to.

Mario said...

nice melky, people forget he's still only 24 yrs old and has been up with the yanks off/on for a few years, GOT MELK...

Mario said...

CC has to win this game, 3 run lead, july is over, august & sept are his best months historically, so to to start rolling CC

Greg Cohen said...

I agree Mario. He has to show he's this team's ace.

Greg Cohen said...

And just as I type that he allows an RBI single to Beckham. 3-1 Yanks.

Anonymous said...

Holy shit, the O's are only down 7-6 now.

Greg Cohen said...

Way to go CC, you fat piece of shit. Homer for Dye, game tied.

Greg Cohen said...

And now 4-3. What a waste of $160 million. My goodness.

Anonymous said...

CC implodes, 4-3 sox, game over, and I can't even blame it on Jorge this time.

Anonymous said...

Cashman is a terrible GM. He spends $400m and doesn't even get a #1 guy. Worse GM ever.

CC is not a #1 guy in the AL. Neither is Burnett. This team will have huge problems in the playoffs because of this. Just wait til they start Arod, Jeter, Posada and Damon in the field. ROFLMAO! What a horrible defense.

All put together by Cashman. He should have traded for Lee or Halladay. End of story. Heck, I would have tried to get Martinez too.

Mario said...

i still can't get over the fact Philly & Boston really didn't give up much, really for the 2 stars they got, DO you think if the Yanks had called about Cliff Lee, would the indians have demanded more from the Yanks, cause we're the yanks, considering philly is in the NL too?

Greg Cohen said...

Probably Mario, but all I know do know for sure is that this team is in a lot of trouble.

Greg Cohen said...

I'll give the offense some credit for coming back so quickly, but CC is still pissing me off to no end.

Mario said...

our pitching is fubar'ed.

Greg Cohen said...

Mario, that's what happens when Dave Eiland gets a hold on a pitching staff.

For a team with this much talent, they fall into team-wide slumps far too easily, and I blame the coaches for that.

Anonymous said...

You suck Tex. Absolutely pathetic. That is why this team is still average at best.

Mario said...

i totally agree on that, I dont wanna make the playoffs if we're gonna get embarrassed again in the 1st round, do you think heads will roll if/when we lose? Girardi, Long, Eiland? we need a veteran pitching coach, "the idea" that eiland would help hughes & joba, cause he coached them in minors was a decent idea that has bombed totally..we need a mgr who knows how to get the most of out the players, hate to say it, but like torre did, cano needs a constant fire burning under his ass,

Anonymous said...

i thought you were getting sick of the cc bashing greg

Greg Cohen said...

If they miss the postseason Girardi and his entire staff will be gone. Could you imagine what this team would be like with the '96 coaching staff? They had guys playing so far above their heads it was ridiculous. Meanwhile these huckleberries have almost everyone under performing.

Greg Cohen said...

No, I just didn't think it was completely justified before. Today's start has justified it because of how much the Yanks needed a good start from him.

Mario said...

Melky just a triple away from the cycle, & boston is now crushing O's 14-6 in only the 4th inning,

Greg Cohen said...

Hairston! Geeez, maybe this guy will be a big pickup.

Mario said...

13 hits, 2 extra bases, both by melky, pathetic,

Anonymous said...

cody ransom is a p.o.s

Mario said...

y r u bringing up ransom, he's not even playing today, anonymous, get with the program...

Greg Cohen said...

I was wondering that myself.

Mario said...

ok cano, he just walked the bases loaded, be patient, you retard..

Mario said...

we have to cash in some runs here, we leave way too many runners on base

Greg Cohen said...

Great, is CC on the verge of giving away this lead too?

Mario said...

way to go melky, how awesome a cycle, come on JORGE just get it out of the infield you BLEEP..

Mario said...

finally a hit w/ RISP , those are more rare with our team then hitting for the cycle

crossfire said...

Way to go Jete!

crossfire said...

It wasn't pretty but it ended the losing streak!

Now lets hope it starts a big winning streak again.

Mike R. said...

Two things: Everybody, cool it!

Stop it with the "we're doomed" garbage! Every team goes through these struggles.

Also, thank you Melky for giving a statement to all the non-believers on how valuable you are, not just in the field. A cycle, god damnit!

crossfire said...

I haven't quite understood the feeling of doom that some have had either. This is a damn good team. It certainly has it's flaws but there isn't a team out there that doesn't. I personally like this team a lot.

And it will be really nice to say that the last cycle hit by Melky rather than Tony Fernandez.

Congrats Melky!!!

Greg Cohen said...

I don't think they're in trouble because they lost three games to the White Sox, I think they're in trouble because Sergio Mitre is their fifth starter, and soon he will be their fourth with the fifth being a mystery.

Anonymous said...

Gardner in center, Melky in right and Hairston in left.

The yankees will have a very good late inning fielding outfield in postseason or close games down the stretch.

Greg Cohen said...

Congrats to Melky, though, great day for him.

Anonymous said...

Leiter and Kay need to stop calling Hughes cutter a slider. That pitch where he got the strikeout was his cutter not slider.

crossfire said...

Did anyone hear the calls on the video highlights on MLB.com. They have the White Sox announcer Ken Harrelson making the calls and he flat out sucks.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea CF, I heard it and was very disappointed. I was hoping to hear Kay's call of the triple, because at the time I was in the car listening to Sterling.
