A-Rod ties Williams, McCovey with 521st

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Alex Rodriguez hit his 521st home run Monday night, tying Ted Williams and Willie McCovey for 15th place on the career list.

The New York Yankees' slugger connected off Tampa Bay right-hander Andy Sonnanstine in the first inning for his third homer of the season, snapping an 0-for-9 slide.
The drive to left also was A-Rod's 176th homer with the Yankees, moving him past Bobby Murcer for 19th on the team's career list. The run Rodriguez scored was his 500th with the Yankees

This is a photograph of an ice cream freezer outside the visitors clubhouse at Camden Yards wrapped up in a blanket so nobody will steal the treats inside.

Why is it outside the visitors clubhouse?

Because Joe Girardi wants it that way. The Yankees contacted the visiting clubhouse manager of every stadium where they play and asked that the candy and ice cream be removed before the team comes to town.

Hilarious.

Girardi is really into eating right and exercising. He's in great shape.

**I Are Baboon** · 04-21-2008, 07:15 AM

I have A-Rod on my fantasy team and someone just offered me Robinson Cano for him. Seriously, WTF is wrong with some people?

I support eating right and exercise, but is it really necessary to police these grown men like a little league coach would?

The Red Sox are having fun with it, thats for sure.

Your right, the more for Schilling and Colon to eat.

ESPN - Steinbrenner outspoken about Chamberlain's future place with Yankees - MLB

Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner, like his father George, has never been one to mince words. When it comes to where pitcher Joba Chamberlain should be -- the bullpen or the starting rotation -- the younger Steinbrenner's expectations are crystal clear.

"I want him as a starter and so does everyone else, including him, and that is what we are working toward and we need him there now," Steinbrenner told the New York Times. "There is no question about it, you don't have a guy with a 100-mile-per-hour fastball and keep him as a setup guy. You just don't do that. You have to be an idiot to do that."

min0 lee · 04-21-2008, 10:41 AM

I was leaning for him to be the future closer but with Mussina's decline maybe he should start....
I still have a feeling he would be more effective as a future relief pitcher though.

Ouch...

Quote:

The one name missing from that list is current starter Mike Mussina. Steinbrenner also had a suggestion for the starting pitcher who owns 251 victories in an 18-year career.
"[Mussina] just needs to learn how to pitch like [45-year-old Phillies pitcher] Jamie Moyer," Steinbrenner told the newspaper. Moyer is known as a crafty pitcher who doesn't have an overpowering fastball.

Ozzie Guillen on Derek Jeter

So this is humorous: Ozzie Guillen is what one might describe as a "big fan" of Derek Jeter. I wasn't on the White Sox side during Guillen's pre-game yesterday to hear this, but here's one account from the Chicago Tribune:
Guillen: Derek Jeter 'the perfect man' -- ChicagoSports.com
"I keep saying the best [Yankees] player who ever happenedâ€”bigger than someone else, but I'm not going to say the name hereâ€”is Derek Jeter," Guillen began, perched in the Sox dugout.
He merely was warming up.
"Derek Jeter has everything in his life. He's got money. He's got rings. He's got â€¦"
Guillen paused, because timing means everything in comedy.
"He's not married."
Wait for the laugh.
"At the All-Star Game (where Guillen managed him in 2006), I looked around to see if he has anything I don't like. No. He's the perfect man. Too bad I don't have a daughter."
So, in other words, Ozzie, you like this Jeter guy, is that what you're trying to say here?
"He's the best thing ever in the game. He's got everything he wants. He lives in New York. Even [ George] Steinbrenner loves him. Nobody is better than Derek Jeter in the game. Nobody."

I'd say that's high praise, trying to marry your non-existent daughter off to someone.

Enough of this two steps forward, one step backwards. It's time for NY to get on winning streak. Of course, it doesn't help that they have 2 regulars competing with Big Papi for worst hitter in the league.

This is the Yankees. It's only a matter of time until they pull off a 25 of 28 streak or some shit. Happens every year.

**IainDaniel** · 05-02-2008, 09:46 AM

I was just thinking. I know a rarity.

Who is the trainer for the Skankees?

And how the fuck does this guy still have a job? How many pulled Quads or Hammies did they have last year. Most of the injuries incurred seem to be some type of training problem

WTF?

I remember last year being worse, especially early on. It seemed like there were quite a few players who had leg injuries.

So is Phil Hughes the next Carl Pavano? Two years, two extensive injuries.

And Posada timed that one just right, didn't he? 4 yrs, big $$ and wham! Right to the DL. Have they ever said how he injured his shoulder?

Well Hughes has not cost the Yankees $40 million. Not yet, anyway. Plus, fortunately for him and Yankee fans, his injuries are not arm or shoulder related.

How the fuck do you get a stress fracture of the ribs?

fucking Yankee pussies.

Triple Threat · 05-08-2008, 06:38 AM

The other night the Yankees had 3, count 'em, 3 starters batting less than .200. Cano, Betemit, and Giambi.

How do they expect to generate any offense?

soxmuscle · 05-08-2008, 09:11 AM

After being dominated by Cliff Lee last night, the Yankees are approaching the mendoza line against southpaws.

How do they expect to be any good when they can't hit lefties?

soxmuscle · 05-08-2008, 09:13 AM

Plus, A-Rod isn't expected to come off the DL when he's eligible next week.

When's he coming back?

I haven't heard/read much about him except for the fact that he's in Florida trying to rehab.

Pulled muscles can be tough. It could be Memorial Day before he's ready, depending on how bad the injury is.
