I personally think it's time they send the Moose to the taxidermy.

Mike Mussina starting over

TAMPA - Although exhibition games don't begin until this weekend, Mike Mussina got his first taste of competition on Wednesday, throwing two innings in the Bombers' lone intrasquad game of the spring.
Facing a lineup that included Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, Melky Cabrera and Jorge Posada, Mussina allowed two runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk, striking out one. ......

Joe Girardi's stance on collision stuns mentor and Tampa coach Don Zimmer
Get off my lawn!

So there was Zim Sunday, saying he was "dumbfounded" to hear that Girardi had taken exception to the way Rays rookie Elliot Johnson had bowled over Francisco Cervelli at the plate on Saturday, a collision that left the Yankees' catching prospect with a broken wrist.

Yankee Stadium game likely for NHL Rangers

Momentum has built in recent weeks toward finalizing a deal that would have the Rangers play the final game in the storied history of the current Stadium, the Daily News has learned. The Yankees, who will move into their new Yankee Stadium for the 2009 baseball season, are said to be completely on board with having the NHL close the 85-year-old original.
And, anxious to build upon the buzz created by the wildly successful Winter Classic outdoor game between Pittsburgh and Buffalo at Ralph Wilson Stadium on New Year's Day, NBC and the NHL are intent upon seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. League and network representatives visited the Stadium recently to get an on-site view of what would need to be done to stage the event.

There are talks of an outdoor basketball game as well.

 

[soxmuscle]

Hey, you two have your own threads to trash. Now git the hell outta ours.

I concur!

 

[tucker01]

You concur about this thread sucking.... or we should change the subject?

 

[Triple Threat]

You concur about this thread sucking.... or we should change the subject?

Don't you have some hockey thread to trash?

 

[tucker01]

No I have no hockey team to cheer for

 

[Triple Threat]

Do you not have a local hockey team or do you have one but they suck?

 

[tucker01]

I have one. But they suck. The Leafs, and they have pissed me off too much in my life time... so I have stopped watching them. And I just can't cheer for another team

 

[soxmuscle]

Quitting on your team? It wouldn't be the first time...

 

[tucker01]

If you had to deal with the leaf management you would think the same thing. Fuck retards. They only care about bucks, they know they will sell out every game. Good return on investment for the Teachers Pension Plan.

 

[I Are Baboon]

The Maple Leafs would be better if they ate more bacon.

 

[tucker01]

They will never be better. Why?

Cause they don't need to be. They have a bunch of sheep fans.

 

[min0 lee]

all of you!

Yankees, Rays clear benches after pair of incidents

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays brawled in the second inning of a spring training game Wednesday, an inning after Yankees pitcher Heath Phillips was ejected after hitting Rays prospect Evan Longoria with a pitch.

The Yankees' Shelley Duncan slid spikes high into the Rays' Akinori Iwamura, drawing the ire of Jonny Gomes and prompting a bench-clearing brawl.



The escalation of bad blood between division rivals stemmed from a home plate collision in a spring training game four days ago that injured a Yankees catching prospect and irked Yankees manager Joe Girardi.

 

[min0 lee]

I'll see if I can find it.

 

[min0 lee]

If I was the manager I would let the players know in advance that they will get heavily fined if they start shit.

Nick Cafardo:

Duncan's play was indeed a tad over-the-top even though Johnson's play on Cervelli was perfectly legitimate - spring training or no spring training. Asking different people around the game the past few days about the play, there wasn't one person who sided with Girardi.
