Topic: Yankees Baseball

Our idiotic second baseman continues to amaze us at how stupid a person can aspire to be for no reason other than be “cool” and feel respected by his peers.

Listen to him regarding his now not so serious injury (ies) or now who knows the extent of the damage.

Cano said he first felt the shoulder stiffness before he left Yankees camp to join the Dominican team prior to the WBC. But he did not mention anything about it to any member of the Yankees' staff at the time.

Cano said: "I thought it was something that if I stretched it, it could be all right."

Cano said his shoulder never hurt when he played; it just felt stiff when he threw the ball. Yet two weeks after leaving Yankees camp with stiffness, he still feels tightness behind his shoulder.

Now this idiot is back and hurt which makes the recent addition of the three expensive players a mockery. A frigging idiot comes back to undo what the team tried very hard to do: put on the field a highly competitive team.

This is the same idiot who admitted having trained with a well known PED MLB pusher   and he insisted that REGARDLESS he would go back to Presinal if he had to and his critics and the entire baseball world be dammed.

Sorry Cashman but this a$$hole is laughing at the Yankees in general and you in particular. Is this another instance of being young and stupid?  I don’t think so    . . . . . .     I think is just a case of being an overpaid and overrated a$$hole.

Is this the guy who Pedroia should be envious of     . . . . . .   talent wise?  Can we still deport this trouduc?

Mark about not trying to overdo his ST preparation and or trying to carry the team by himself (when there are other decent bats in the lineup and a fine rotation in place): “If I was playing 50 percent when Alex was here, just because I didn’t care and I didn’t have to pull the load, I mean, that doesn’t happen,” Teixeira said. “I’m going to play 100 percent, I’m going to try to get a hit every time up. It doesn’t matter who’s in the lineup and who’s not in the lineup. I’m going to play the game the same every day.”

Thank you sir.

Akinori Iwamura a true baseball samurai.

Oops!    . . . . . . .  We got ourselves a $1.5 Billion launch pad   . . . . . . .   or so it seems.

So how are we doing?

As some of us have thought (and expected) this team is moving forward without much fanfare but steadily playing like a team who only cares about giving a good account of itself unlike a team of prima-donnas (or should we say prima-donne? ) more like a hungry team, a blue collar effort from a group of mega-millionaires (ok with some exceptions).

Which brings us to the next question    . . . . . . . .     WHO NEEDS ALEX WHATSHISNAME?

Just kidding Aroids    . . . . . .    just kidding   . . . . .   you take your time making sure you’re 100 percent  . . . a . . . . Okay   . . . . .  you hear?

If this team continues to play like a team who believe in themselves and stay focused all season long anything is possible and unlike the teams of the last five years there seems to be plenty of leaders to go around on this roster and that can only be a good sign.

Just like we thought Mark Teixeira seems to be able to adjust to the teams’ needs without trying hard to do too much and that’s also a good sign and so is Cano’s early signs of having found his groove let’s hope it stays that way then Aroids contribution will be not much of an afterthought but the icing on the cake.

Says the resident Zen master: WE SHALL SEE.

Joba said what about NewYorkers?  NOO.

He called us rude and mannerless?  The gall.

He was probably referring to those frigging Indians who don’t even like baseball or the mountains of Chinese from every frigging corner of the globe who are now NewYolkes.

This from a guy who’s trying to become one of us while saying all the right things (while in NY that is).

So what are we going to do with this ingrate?  I for one will head straight for an ice cream parlor and enjoy a pint of gelato.

Can we now play some frigging baseball    . . . . . . . .     please.

As Mo would say:  that’s baseball.

Here we go again:

“We’ve got guys that should pound the zone, and we’ve got guys that have a very good idea of the strike zone,” Posada said. “It seemed like both of them had a great game plan, and we’re not pitching the way we’re supposed to.”

Listen to this Puertorican incapu beginning to do his thing (trying to throw the starters under the bus) instead of keeping himself under control such as not panicking when he has men on base and he goes crazy with his signals as occurred with him catching Sabathia on the first game. Instead of shooting his mouth off to the delight of the tabloids this idiot should learn how to be a real catcher and forget about his faulty throwing arm and try to be in unison with them otherwise he’s going to be the starters second choice.  So Posada why don’t you show us what you can do with your bionic bat and serve your pitchers well instead of throwing the game away when you have men on base both while catching and batting. Meantime just shut the f. up.

That’s more like it.  I’m not going to say those two games didn’t hurt but that’s the way this sport goes.

A.J. and Mark and Swish and Cano took care of business and Coke went back to trusting his stuff and trying to stay within himself. A lot of games will be like this win and we’ll learn to take them in stride as well as the loses (hey nobody is perfect) but we know we’ll be okay when the long journey ends.

This is the year Swisher will explode and we’ll be better for it.  We know that.

One game at a time guys. Every time.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Angels organization as well as the Fullerton Titans for their loss.
