honestly, one of the worst season predictions I've read this year.

No, I may send him or his publication an e-mail begging the question why/how this guy has a job.

I've never seen a more cliche prediction thread than that. There wasn't one "surprise" in their at all.

Again, it's truly laughable to me that you think my Ortiz prediction was so off. You're a more knowledgeable sports fan than that, at least I thought you were.

Strasburg hasn't even been drafted yet. Predicting that he wins the Rookie of the Year award is far worse than me predicting a bounce back year after being hurt from one of the best hitters in the game over the last five years.

It's spot on.

He did pick the Royals to finish second, which you laughed at a couple days ago when I gave them a similar standing.

Funny.

Umm...I never laughed at KC, I did laugh at Ortiz winning the MVP.

Funny but he was here in NY promoting some game and he mentioned how he loves playing against the Yankees....he say's they made him famous.


The Yankees complete you, without them you have no will to live. God Praise Jeter!

If it were any other team I don't think he would be as famous, what he did to a team that for centuries beat the crap out of them and to finally beat them is a David and Goliath story.

I like Ortiz, I do hope he gets healthy again......but I do hope he stops killing the Yankees.

I Are Baboon

I think it's funny that Orioles fans are booing Texiera today...as if the O's ever had any chance of signing him.

min0 lee

Damn, CC is HUGE.

I like Spencers speed.
Tex is wayyyyy better at first.

3-1 Orioles

Damon at 3rd, tex batting....fans booing..lets see him produce.

min0 lee

Walk....real close.

min0 lee

Wow...CC...you look...blah

Sabathia should have had one more cheesebuger.

I could got for a cheeseburger right about now.

min0 lee

Nice throw by Gardner to the plate, I know Damon wouldn't have made that throw and Melky would have been out of position.

Posada has to be the worst at protecting the plate, that could have been a safe call.
Granted he is a converted catcher....you would think by now.

Damn he hit a home run, always a good bat.

min0 lee

You mean a dozen more.

Ransom looks frustrated...I can't wait for A-Rod to come back.

soxmuscle

Gotta love that bottom of the order for the Yankees.

Here I am getting worried that their right back in the game only to have Ransom and Gardner suck the hairy root.

I'm not worried about Gardner, it's ransom who doesn't need to be there.

You can't expect the bottom of the order to have 40 home run a year player, a lot of teams had that and went nowhere.

I like his defense.

Positions that historically have heavy hitters.

First base, Third and the corners....sometimes the center fielder would have some pop.

Short, second and catchers were always weak hitters.

Cal Ripkin sort of changed that but you need a good defensive player there.

Triple Threat

Not a good start for NY or the new guys.

min0 lee

Nope, Tex left a few runners on base but what a difference on he defense he is.
Jeter got his hits but when he had a chance to put them in the lead he grounded out weakly.
Matsui is a wonder, to me he looks as old as godzilla but then he hits them out..

Bullpen needs to prove something...

Middle relief, you can't bunch the others with Mo.

This is where I can see Chamberlan pitching, pitchers need to get off that stigma that middle relief is a curse word.

IainDaniel

No starting pitcher for the Yankees has a strikeout this season

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

That's a good find.
CC should have had at least one strike out, I don't know if he has the toughness to make it in NY.

Wang was up in the strike zone and h really isn't a strikeout pitcher.....more of a groung ball pitcher...he'll bounce back.

Now I thinkif Burnett can stay healthy he can our ace.

IainDaniel

Burnett and health are the key thing.

Last year (contract year) was the only year we had any healthy action out of him.

A.J. Burnett sharp, bats come alive as Yankees avert sweep against Orioles



Looks like he trains hard.

BALTIMORE – The Yankees' newcomers finally started earning their money on Thursday.

Mark Teixeira and Nick Swisher both homered in support of A.J. Burnett, who gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings to pick up his first win, as the Yankees avoided a season-opening sweep with an 11-2 win over the Orioles.

Burnett gave up seven hits and walked one, striking out six – the first strikeouts this season by a Yankees starter – giving the Bombers the type of performance that neither CC Sabathia nor Chien-Ming Wang was able to provide.

Swisher had three hits – including a two-run homer that put the Yankees ahead for good – and matched a career-high with five RBI in his first start of the year, while Teixeira went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored, silencing the Camden Yards crowd that had lustily jeered him for three consecutive days.

Baltimore took a 1-0 lead in the third on Brian Roberts' RBI single off Burnett, putting runners at first and second with one out. A two-out walk loaded the bases as Baltimore threatened to break it open, but Burnett escaped the jam by striking out Aubrey Huff, pumping his fist with excitement before he walked off the mound.

Teixeira took O's starter Alfredo Simon deep to lead off the fourth, tying the game with his first home run as a Yankee. One out later, Simon walked Cano, setting up Swisher's two-run blast to right-center, giving the Yankees a 3-1 lead.

Luke Scott cut into the lead with a one-out home run against Burnett in the bottom of the fourth, but Baltimore never got any closer than that after the Yankees rallied for four more runs in the sixth to open up a 7-2 lead.

Burnett was lifted with one out in the sixth after giving up his seventh hit, but Phil Coke struck out the next two batters, closing out Burnett's line.

Cano lengthened the lead in the seventh with a two-run homer, his first of the year, to make it a 9-2 game. Swisher tacked on a two-run double in the ninth to account for the final runs.

I'm here watching Yankeeography and they point out that although Billy Martin batted .250 throughout the season he excelled in the world series.

IainDaniel

What no one wants to jump in here, and claim what a bush league move last night was putting nick swisher in to pitch?

Yanks are pathetic.
