    << <i>A "better shot at first" is a whole different statement from "put you guys back in first". I think most Yankee fans, and most fans in general thought he was going to improve the pitching staff, which I believe he has done. But I, nor anyone else, had illusions about him spearheading the Yanks into first place. He's NEVER been that kind of pitcher IMO. Not even in his best Red Sox days. Sure he had great stats, but he never performed well in the clutch. And he never has for the Yanks either. As for why the Yanks spent $28M, I didn't like it but I guess they felt like they want to improve the team with whatever was available even if that meant overpaying. >>



    I'm curious about this idea that Clemens has NEVER performed well in the clutch. Is this just your feeling based on years of watching or are you thinking of specific games? A quick look at his career stats shows that in postseason play (which I consider clutch situations) he has gone 14-9 with a 3.66 ERA and 172 K's in 169 IP. In my opinion that would qualify as "performing well in the clutch." He's been even better in the World Series where his record is 3-0, 2.37, and 49 K in 49.333 innings.

    I agree, Roger has pitched well in the clutch. His dominating game on the road vs Seattle in the 2001 ALCS and his pitching vs the Mets in the 2000 World Series was clutch as well.

    << <i>It's going to require ending the season at least 20, if not 22-5 games above .500 to land a playoff spot IMO. Therefore, there is still work to do. What I worry about is the brutal schedule they have in August and if they can play 2-3 games above .500 for the rest of the month, I really like their chances. >>



    I could not agree more. There is no doubt that there is PLENTY of work to do yet. The Yanks are playing well and I will be VERY disappointed if they are not 20 games over by Sept 10th or so and primed for a playoff run.

    Tonight Joba Chamberlain struck out 5 batters in 2 innings of work in AAA. It was his 3rd appearance out of the pen since the last game he started. I am in NO WAY saying this guy will be a bullpen savior down the stretch for the Yanks but its about &%!@#&amp;! time he was called up to the Bronx. What else do the Yankees want to see from the flame thrower / great slider prospect? I bet he is with the Yanks within a few days image

    Good times at Yankee land again. My wife and daughter were at the big park in the Bronx today and saw A-Rod's historic 500th Home Run. Shelly Duncan signed a baseball for my daughter also. What a great day for them. I wish I was there!

    "The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."

Its just a weird chemistry thing, like we ussually beat the D-Rays and O's but they give you guys trouble every now and then. I will say it again, the Royals just lay down for you guys.

    Of course, even with those two errors, he is too blind to take 5 minutes to look up to see that Cano is second in the league in fielding percentage in all the majors for second basemen. Spew? yes.

    Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
    Guess I'll go eat worms,
    Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
    Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.

    Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
    Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
    Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
    Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

    Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
    Think I'll go and eat worms
    Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones
    See how they wriggle and squirm

    I bite off the heads, and suck out the juice
    And throw the skins away
    Nobody knows how fat I grow
    On worms three times a day
    Ohh...nobody loves me.

    Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
    Think I'll go eat worms.
    Big fat juicy ones, Eensie weensy squeensy ones,
    See how they wiggle and squirm.

    Chomp off their heads and squeeze out the juice
    And throw their tails away
    Nobody knows how I survive
    On worms three times a day.

    Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
    I'm goin' down the garden to eat worms
    Long thin slimy ones, short fat fuzzy ones
    Ooey gooey, ooey gooey worms

    Long thin slimy ones slip down easily
    Short fat fuzzy ones don't
    Short fat fuzzy ones stick to your teeth
    And the juice goes slurpin' (slurping noise) down your throat

    Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
    think I'll go eat worms...
    big fat juicy ones, little slimy skinny ones,
    hope they don't have germs!"

    I would like to file a complaint with the league office. I don't think it is fair that the Royals have to play two series' against the Yankees, who get to score in touchdowns and field goals now. Talk about miserable timing.

    Don't forget guys,

    Tonight on YES is the Bobby Murcer game. The first game after the death of Thurman Munson. Quite unfortunately this particular game is the most notorious game I have attended myself besides witnessing Mattingly's last homer at the stadium vs the M's in the playoffs. I wasjust barely 10 years old and sitting half way up in the upper deck right at 3rd base. I doubt I will see myself!

    Anyway, Miss you Thurman Munson

    And RIP Thurman Munson! That Murcer game was one of the most memorable Yankees games ever!

    its funny how no one busted on the sox for going after gagne when they already had such a formidable closer. It must be nice to be able and go out and get whatever pieces you feel you need to help you compete.

    FINALLY the Yankees have called up Joba Chamberlain I hear. He will be in Toronto for tonights game. Again, and I have said this alot already. I am in no way hoping against hope that a 21 year old kid will be our bullpen savior BUT he can not do another thing in the minors. He has simply proven to be too good at every level of the minors.

    Joba Chamberlain has arrived image

    Lets see what he can do in the bigs ...

    Having cleared up a passport issue, stud pitching prospect Joba Chamberlain flew here yesterday and will be in the Yankees' bullpen tonight. The club planned to have the gas-throwing right-hander for yesterday's victory over the Blue Jays but the paperwork caused a delay.

    Brian Bruney is expected to be sent to Scranton Wilkes-Barre (Triple-A) to make room for Chamberlain, who went from Tampa (Single- A) to Trenton (Double-A) to SWB this year and has been converted from a starter to a reliever.

    "I think he is close," Joe Torre said of the 21-year-old right-hander who was the 41st pick in the 2006 draft out of Nebraska. He dominated the minor leagues to the point where he became untouchable in trade talks last month.
