Is this like reverse psychology?
500+ pounds of man will be on the mound tonight in combined weight.
God, Sabathia is fat.
God, Sabathia is fat.
This is the best match up we had this week, I am not one to second guess a manager but having Wang pitch against Boston and then the Mets didn't make sense.
These games are too crucial to feel bad about whose feelings are hurt, sorry Wang one more week in the pen till you get stuff corrected. The Yanks play the Nationals and then the Pirates...let him pitch then.
Yes, he is.
But that 500 pound fat man is playing at a level neither one of us would ever reach.
Wang (21.61 ERA) 
What was penny Thinking?
He miss him on the first pitch and then drills square on his back on the third pitch?
A-Rod is 0 for 7 this series (typical) must be a mistake.
Ahhh, setting it up so that CC can't pitch inside, he hits someone and he's thrown out of the game. Brilliant.

That's what you get for drilling Jason Bay.
They did? I missed that one.
All Ortiz needed to break out of his slump is some home cooked Yankee pitching!
Boston would love to play the Yankees all year.
I wonder if A-rod slipped him some some.
Swept.
Brad Penny > CC Sabathia
penny pitched a good game.
I love Girardi's logic.
He wouldn't let Mo pitch a six out save but he was willing to let him pitch a four out save?
Strange.

If you can stand to read the reader comments on the NY newspaper websites, Yankee fans are all over Girardi.
Link me.
I just really don't understand this philosophy of his in this instant.

Indeed. I didn't expect that. His trade bait just went up.
I heard about that, once Smoltz returns he may be gone.
So this is what it feels like.
the funny thing about all the Penny rumors is that they're just that: rumors.
not once has Francona, Epstein or anybody with knowledge of what the front office is going to do has even hinted at trading Penny.
until that changes or until he's traded, it looks like just speculation to me based on the obvious fact that Daisuke is unmovable, Beckett/Lester/Wake aren't going anywhere and Penny is signed to only a one year deal.

I also want to add that waiting until the July 31st deadline to trade him would be the most wise decision from a value stand point.

LOL...god I love this rivalry.

It's time Posada no longer catches.
Why?
I thought he was an all-star catcher?
I thought he was an all-star catcher?
All-star hitter yes, but he was never a natural catcher.
I never liked the way he calls a game, blocks the plate, or his lack of throwing out runners.
He has always had problems with pitchers not wanting to pitch to him.....R. Johnson to name one.
SNY voices quick to chide deliberate Joba Chamberlain

The line was once reserved for Steve Trachsel. On Friday night, Keith Hernandez applied it to alleged phenom Joba Chamberlain.
"It's like watching paint dry with Joba out there, isn't it?" Hernandez, on SportsNet New York, asked with Carlos Beltran batting (3-2 count, third inning) and the bases loaded.
The needle Brian Bruney stuck Francisco Rodriguez with wasn't the only body-piercing during Round 1 of the Subway Series. SNY's voices stuck it to Joba pretty good during a 43-pitch third inning sans midges.
This wasn't a total bludgeon job. It was an exercise in frustration. It was not all audio dynamite. Throughout the inning, SNY's cameras alternated between the faces of Joe Girardi and pitching coach Dave Eiland. Their mugs were the picture of exasperation. Jorge Posada did not escape unscathed, either.
Ron Darling explained Posada's role in this constipated relationship. After the opinionated catcher made yet another trip to the mound ("How can this be?" Gary Cohen asked), Darling said: "There's been a problem all year ... Posada is one of those catchers who goes with a game plan and is very stubborn how he calls a game. He really doesn't want his pitchers to shake him off. And when that happens, a guy like Chamberlain will call him out."
Shortly after Darling's comment, Chamberlain shook off Posada four more times, causing the catcher to make another trip to the mound.
"Take him out to dinner," Hernandez said incredulously. "... How do you get into a rhythm with all these stops and starts?" What he meant to say: The next time Joba shakes him off, Posada should kick his tuchis.
Chamberlain walked Beltran, struck out David Wright, then hit Ryan Church, forcing in the go-ahead run.
"I feel like I'm watching an 'A Ball' game," Hernandez moaned.
With Gary Sheffield up, Hernandez continued chirping: "I played for managers who, the way Joba is pitching, shaking off Posada and throwing breaking balls, would just yank him on general principles."
Cohen: "This is dreadful."
An appropriate description. Will SNY mouths have any verbal bullets left if Joba pitches during Round 2 in a couple of weeks?

Yankees add insurance policy, swing deal with Pirates for Eric Hinske
The Yankees added an insurance policy to their roster Tuesday, acquiring Eric Hinske in a trade with the Pirates.
Pittsburgh will receive minor league righthander Casey Erickson and outfielder Eric Fryer. Hinske, who turns 32 in August, can play first base, third base and both corner outfield spots, giving them another versatile player to use in a variety of ways.
For the Pirates, the deal represents a dump of Hinske's $1.5 million salary. For the Yankees, the deal adds a bat to their bench after Xavier Nady's expected return took a turn for the worse last week when he reinjured his elbow. Ironically, Nady was acquired by the Yankees last summer in a deal with the Pirates, so they're going back to the well to find a replacement for him now that he is likely lost for the year.
Prior to this season, Hinske had spent his entire career in the American League East, playing for the Blue Jays (2002-06), Red Sox (2006-07) and Rays (2008). He is hitting .255 with one home run and 11 RBI in 106 at-bats this season, having hit .247 with 20 home runs and 60 RBI in 381 at-bats last season for the AL Champion Rays.
Hinske's best season came in his rookie year of 2002, when he hit .279 with 24 homers and 84 RBI for Toronto, capturing AL Rookie of the Year honors.

The Yanks plans are to rest A-rod once a week at third to rest his leg or him to recover from all that banging he's been doing with Kate Hudson.
His bat is better than Ransom who isn't that good.
