RHP - Masahiro Tanaka 13-5 2.77 ERA VS. RHP - Drew Hutchison 11-13 4.48 ERA NOTE: This will be the 1st time since 2008 that CC Sabathia has not started an opening day game. And fwiw: just as well as the Yankees have gone 1-5 in those starts. PROBABLE LINE UP.........(Spring training numbers in parenthesis) CF - Ellsbury (0 / 1 / 200) = 12 games LF - Gardner (0 / 3 / 186) = 22 games RF - Beltran (0 / 4 / 225) = 15 games C - McCann (2 / 6 / 234) = 19 games 1B - Teixeira (1 / 4 / 250) = 21 games 3B - Headley (3 / 8 / 305) = 21 games DH - Rodriquez (3 / 4 / 267) = 19 games 2B - Drew (3 / 9 / 259) = 21 games SS - Gregorius (0 / 6 / 271) = 20 games GO YANKEES
Too bad the Yankees can't deal that blob. Cashman & the Katzenjammers should be bowing their heads in shame should they attend todays game. What a fucking joke!
I seriously don't like Gardner batting 2nd. And IMO if his poor hitting continues he'll be dropped down in a heartbeat. BTW: for those that don't know it, Joe Torre will be throwing out the 1st ball.
Torre - good gesture. Gardner batting 2nd - sometimes you just have to kinda stick with the player and let it ride......the trick is for the MGR, to recognize and make "adjustments" sooner than later and THAT is the one STAT which can't be nailed down in cold hard numbers regarding MGRs.
We lucked out here in the fkn desert, the game is telecast here. With my luck Time Warner Cable, will pre-empt the fkn game with a different game, like they have all ST. Go you Damned Yankees............!!!
Thank you for stating the obvious, my concern is just how long Girardi will wait (if necessary) before he moves him.
He should get good pitches to hit in that spot. If he doesn't take advantage and still does his sightseeing up at the plate than screw him.
I'll try & remember it for every game but in case I forget I'm sure Vic (Messiah) will start one. Here's hoping for an ENJOYABLE season. GO YANKEES!
Man, I've missed this, but now my computer is in a separate room from the TV, so I won't be posting much during games. Unless I can get the game on a radio, or add a 4th TV to this place....Go Yanx...........
The Katzenjammer Kids were cartoon characters originated by a German and first run in American papers from the 19 teens through the late forties on first run. They were a couple of smart ass kids who spoke English with a German accent and their antics usually end resulted in their parents giving them an ass whipping. If George could see what those twi idiots have done to his Yankees he'd be going up on their asses as well.
