Video: Nick Swisher Pitches Bottom of 8th for Hapless Yankees

Via Pacman Jonesin'  |  April 14, 2009
The Rays pounded six different kinds of dog-crap out of the Yankees Monday, amassing 15 runs off Chien Ming-Wang and the rest of the Pinstripers’ regular pitchers, and forcing them to send position player Nick Swisher to the mound for an inning of pen-sparing work.  Swisher allowed only 1 hit, 1 walk and no runs [...]

Hawk Harrelson is Exciting. Darrin Jackson … Not so much

Via Home Run Derby  |  April 26, 2008
Yesterday, White Sox OF Nick Swisher almost hit a Home Run in his first game against his former team, the Oakland A's.  If it had enough distance … it would have been in contention for the HRoD. Listen as White Sox TV play-by-play man Ken "Hawk" Harrelson almost busts a nut in the press box as ...

Nick Swisher Pitching for the Yankees? Video

Via NESW Sports  |  April 14, 2009
Nick Swisher Pitching for the Yankees? Video. Yes, this did happen. During last nights whooping at the hands of the Tampa Bay Rays, Nick struck out Gabe Kapler in the 8th, and it was cool. The reason it is so cool is that Nick Swisher is a likable guy. He is a Yankee and he [...]

Nick Swisher is Not Scott Brosius

Via Simon On Sports  |  April 16, 2009
Nick Swisher is the 2009 version of the 1998 version of Scott Brosius. Didn't you know that? I'm not sure what the hell sparked this, maybe the moronic Michael Kay who was the first person I heard utter this comparison, but now I'm hearing it left and right. Maybe Nick Swisher can be Scott Brosius. Why are they comparing them? Because they both hit in the low .200s the season...

Nick Swisher Did What?

Via Baseball & The Boogie Down  |  April 14, 2009
I was so disgusted with last night's Yankee game that I didn't make it through the whole thing. They were down 8-0 before I even blinked. It didn't help that I had a monster headache, had puked earlier in the day, and because 24 was on either. I flipped back and forth during commercials and it never got any better. The headache knocked me out before the game was over. As I was...

Long Relief, No, Comic Relief, Yes

Via Lady At The Bat  |  April 14, 2009
This year, the Yankees decided to break camp at the end of Spring Training without a long reliever on their roster. If they didn't think it would cause a problem this early in the season they were proven decidedly wrong last night. It appears they assumed, wrongly, that the rotation would be off and running right out of the gate. But Chien-Ming Wang's up-in-the-zone pitches...

SportsCenter Still Irritating, Clueless About What’s Stimulating

Via Bugs & Cranks  |  April 13, 2009
Possibly lost in the fun of the Devil Rays 15-5 home opener drubbing of the hapless once-proud New York Yankees and the hilarity of Nick Swisher pitching, might be B.J. Upton’s sick Maysesque over-the-shoulder catch at the wall for the second out of the top of the second inning — when the Devil Rays only had a 4-0 lead. Say hey, you’d think that s#!t would at least make #1...

Nick Swisher for MVP!

Via This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes  |  April 14, 2009
After last night, Yankees fans everywhere came to one conclusion there is nothing super utility man Nick Swisher can't do!Swisher leads the team in average, HR, RBI, OBP, runs scored, and is tied for the lead in walks.Did I mention, he also leads the team in ERA (0.00) and has as many strike outs as Chien Ming Wang has all season?With all the fuss made about the "big name" free...

Xavier Nady: "Not Good"

Via Jorge Says No  |  April 15, 2009
Looks like the Yanks could be without their "X" for the foreseeable future, and maybe the entire season.ESPN.com:New York Yankees right-fielder Xavier Nady will be put on the disabled list with a right elbow injury and could be sidelined for an extended period. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday that the initial report from an MRI exam on Nady's elbow "is not good.""We...

Sabathia Rebounds while Swisher and Posada drive offense (Postgame Notes 11 April 2009)

Via This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes  |  April 12, 2009
Going into this game the number one thought on the minds of Yankee fans was: how would CC Sabathia rebound from a rough outing on Opening Day?The answer: illustrative of the reason the Yankees dug deep in their pockets to shell out the big dough in December.Sabathia was nothing short of brilliant, giving up six hits over 7.2 innings, while walking none, striking out six and allowing...

Wang Stiff and Swisher Hot

Via Sports Crackle Pop  |  April 14, 2009
Former Yankees ace Chien Ming Wang hasn’t looked himself since recovering from his foot injury. After getting shelled early and taxing the pen in a 15-5 blowout, Joe Girardi gave the ball to Yankee spark-plug Nick Swisher, turning what would have otherwise been a miserable game into a hilarious spectacle. Swisher, who came into this season [...]

Burnett flirts with no-no, saves bullpen (Postgame Notes, 14 April 2009)

Via This Purist Bleeds Pinstripes  |  April 14, 2009
Seven out of the eight innings he pitched, AJ Burnett simply dazzled. Every pitch he threw seemed to work and, in a refreshing change of pace from last night, Yankee pitching owned this game.Six of those innings came consecutively, from the first to the end of the sixth.In the seventh, however, perhaps jinxed by broadcasters who no longer respect the tradition of superstition in...
