Topic: Yankees Baseball

When you guys let your talent take over and your hard work pays off      . . . . . . .    you are    . . . . . . . . .    A THING OF BEAUTY.

Play safe and enjoy the game.

I was going to let that punk Gomez go without saying anything but since the tabloids made it their business to try to start a bad blood situation where there was none just the criminal intent of a certain punk I will add my two cents.

Gomez is a familiar subject and I know he remembers me from his HOT DOG DAYS at Flushing. That was the biggest a$$hole to ever wear the Mets uniform, the biggest PUNK NY has ever seen playing at Shea Stadium.

Some writers used to say “he plays the game with great intensity”, I said he plays the game like the punk he is he has tried in the past to take some infielders with his criminal slides to second and third base. He and that sad story Tavares are the two players I remember trying to blatantly hurt Yankee players in the past. We are not about to let that happen.

If you recall he came to the Mets and he messed with the team’s chemistry Reyes became another punk like him throwing away a season after getting into a fight with a Marlins’ catcher.  And when this a$$hole was sent to Minn Reyes was never the same player again; I remember saying when this a$$hole was here that he had ruined the chemistry of the Mets because all he cared about despite the evident talent was being a hot dog.

The bastard hasn’t changed now he’s learning how to be an even lower piece of trash. Now he’s envious of real stars and he’s trying to ruin some careers. If there ever was somebody that needed to be watched closely is this jerk. Those two times he ran ON PURPOSE inside the line towards first base he did it not only with the intent to get on base but also with the intent of taking Tex out of the game. He acted the same way when he played the Yankees in intra league games while still a Met.

Gardenhire is a very able manager but he seems to have been either fooled by this bastard or he’s in a state of denial either way HE’S A FOOL.

This is a one of those rare specimens that from time to time needs to be drilled just to keep him honest he’s begging to be drilled he’s dangerous to the game. He’s a punk who used to hang out with other punks like him, someone who has a criminal mind and you saw that last night.

This is a mean bastard through and through. He makes Lowell look like an altar boy; he came to NY with great speed and other tools but in the end it got him nowhere he’s just a cheap outfielder.

The Twins better keep that pit bull on a leash otherwise they might lose him for a few months. When that happens I’ll be quick to remind them that they were forewarned. A piece of trash in an otherwise decent and talented team.

I was ready to comment on the fact that Minn has to be the envy of the League with those two fine guys in the middle of the lineup which gave them the win yesterday over the Yankees. Those two great professional and talented hitters Mauer and Morneau are really something aren’t they?

But that was before our own two guys in the middle of the lineup reached deep inside and found a way to spoil this great show of skill and effectiveness by the M&M boys and fortunately for our team it worked.

With Tex going perfect for the night and for Arod to perfectly connect with the ball in the last inning of a long fought baseball game it was the perfect ending, a stunner, the second one in two days.

That indicates that the team is beginning to click because the game was not overall perfect for our team. Joba despite what the tabloids say wasn’t 100 percent effective he lacked conviction at times but he still is a work in progress and that could only mean the team is going to get better. Veras was as pedestrian as Coke. Ramirez did okay and Mariano this time was again the effective Mariano we had come to know.

Aceves came in and showed he’s got the right stuff    . . . . . .  again.

There were some not so perfect plays on the field by our OF they again forgot where the cutoff man was and the good thing is that although the team effort didn’t seem enough to win the game they did it in the end and that’s what counts. This means the team fought back on a day when timely hitting covered for those flaws and you could say that’s also a team effort.

Jeter seemed to be okay now and gave us a great moment to savor flashing some leather on the field.

On the other hand when this Minn team is on the field they are a beautiful thing to watch their infielders are cool, efficient and so ever professional a beautiful example of how the game should be played and when they turn a double play they make it look like if they own the rights to those plays. That’s good for baseball. The kind of baseball you gladly pay to watch.

But this is a four game series so we have to be ready to go at it again but so do the Twins. We go now with A.J. and it is time for Burnett to show us he hasn’t forgotten how to get men out (he’s been busy with the tattoo lessons and the pies) it’s time to walk the walk   . . . . . . .   enough of the talk    . . . . . . .   it is mid May.

The same goes for Swisher let’s have our fun but also let’s win some games and take advantage of the fact that it’s still early in the year. Swisher wants to jump on the jet stream so bad that he’s forgetting what made him at one time one of the best hitters in the Majors good eye and discipline at the plate he’s chasing bad pitches and relying too much on the umpires to give him the fourth ball. Let the ball travel farther instead and finish your follow through.

The Twins seem to have already figured out how to hit in this park, let’s treat them with respect and give a good account of ourselves in the process.

Think about this for a moment: we are getting close to the big guys in our division and we still have some players that are missing from the active roster    . . . . . .    That’s not a bad position to be in.

Oh and welcome to the Bronx Arod and Tex, we knew you were coming    . . . . . . .  steady as she goes.

Play safe and enjoy the game.

She turned an innocent activity born out of frustration called “pitch calling” into a sinister conspiracy she called “pitch tipping” which she says involved Arod telling his counterparts on opposing teams what pitches were coming and the quid-pro-quo called for the opponents to reciprocate with similar signals and she very conveniently told us that all this took place during blowout games.

She did that to make it a more feasible way of cheating because she says this way the Rangers didn’t get hurt. Off course she knew that her colleagues would soon, after the book would come out; assail Arod (and the Yankees) by asking his current and former teammates and ML players and coaches in general about what that would do to their pitchers’ stats and how managers would react to such “cowardice”?

When the first report came out I accused her of being nothing but an opportunistic yellow journalist who jumped at the chance of advancing her career attacking the Yankees in the process via Arod with Mitchell having started the plot by coming after Clemens and Pettitte the previous year now Roberts gets the information about Arod having tested positive when results didn’t matter and the info came from Mitchell to the sux to verducci to Roberts and she of course obliged.

Now a NY Times writer named DAN ROSENHECK comes out with a very good article on how all those accusations from Roberts could be EASILY CORROBORATED or NOT.

Because by the very nature of her accusations Roberts was not only implicating and soiling Arod but every single shortstop and second baseman or even third and first baseman in the Majors including our own Jeter who at the time was a friend of Arod and playing the same position as Arod.

The article is called “Did Tipping Pitches Help Rodriguez and Others? Numbers Say No.” This article basically says that in games where the Texas Rangers were winning or losing by a large margin Arod’s numbers as well as his counterparts on the opposing team were in general ordinary numbers. In games where the Texas Rangers were winning or losing by a decent margin Arod’s numbers and those of this counterparts were better that in the previous case and in games were the score was tight Arod’s counterparts numbers were better than in the previous two cases and Arod numbers however were remarkable. Number don’t lie        . . . . . . . .     REPORTERS DO SOMETIMES WHEN THEY NEED TO     . . . . . . .    just like politicians (Mitchell anybody?  ) do all the time.

If you’re expecting roberts to come forward and apologize to Arod and his fans and all the other infielders in the game for those outrageous charges she leveled against them DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH. These sportswriters are arrogant as hell you’ve seen them at the park you know what I’m talking about. When was the last time you read Lupica apologized for anything?

My apologies to Coke.

I’m appalled than nobody from Cashman’s office or from the Imperial Court of the Yankees organization is trying to help this rookie.

We fans don’t give two shiits about anybody else besides our players (except the Boss and he earned that right) but the rookies? That’s our future right there.
