From Mark Feinsand:"It's difficult for all of us in the baseball family," Girardi said. "You dream your whole life about playing in the big leagues, you make your first start and have a good start and then it's over."Mark Teixeira didn't play with Adenhart during his two-month stint in Anaheim last year, but the first baseman, who had been informed of the news by Girardi just a few minutes before the story appeared on television, looked particularly shaken up. "I feel for the organization," Teixeira said. Girardi said Teixeira took the news hard, though the manager was clearly having a difficult time with it himself, tearing up as he spoke about the situation. "It's terrible," Girardi said. "Just brutal."Jose Molina and Edwar Ramirez both played with Adenhart in the Angels organization, and each of them remembered the 22-year-old as a terrific teammate. "He was an awesome kid," said Molina, who was in sprin...

Madden: "Don't Worry About CC and Tex" ..... Wait, what?
Yeah I know what you're thinking, 'isn't this the same Bill Madden who just 24 hours ago was acting like Monday's loss was a big deal?' Well, yes folks it is. But now he wants to ease your concerns. More on that later. First let's look at the article:Okay, so the first returns on the combined $341 million the Yankees gave CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira were something less than sterling...
They Won't Go 0-162
Sorry, ledge-jumpers, but the Yankees will not go 0-162 in 2009.The Yankees won their game today, and they did so in style: good pitching, good defense, solid hitting and old-fashioned Bronx Bombs.Today was a day for the newcomers; AJ Burnett became the first Yankee starter this season to record a strikeout (he had six of them), Mark Teixeira had his first Yankee home run, and Nick...

Don’t hate the player…
Hate the game. Mark Teixeira was hit with that verbal venom by the crowds in his hometown of Baltimore yesterday when the Yanks were at Camden Yards for their season opener. These fanatics need to ask themselves if it really makes sense to call a person a prostitute for signing [...]
Yanks @ Royals Series Preview
Yankees @ Royals Kauffman Stadium - Kansas City, Missouri(3 games)After a subpar opening series in Baltimore, the Yankees head to Kansas City to take on the Royals in a three-game weekend series at the newly renovated Kauffman Stadium. The Yankees were 5-5 against the Royals last year and hope to get the season series started on the right foot today in the Royals home opener.The...
Opening Day: New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles
With the explosion of fantasy baseball leagues making every dimwit a baseball expert, people rush to make determinations on a team's success or failure based on Opening Day. Baseball is a game where the better team or player, will usually prevail. Baseball is a game based no consistency and performance over the course of a 162-game season. One game is not a large enough...
Video of Joba's Arrest
Here is a video from The Smoking Gun of Joba Chamberlain's DUI arrest (hat-tip to NorthJersey.com). Along with the video comes this mugshot of Joba that was taken in the police station:Look, I'm not judging Joba at all. We all make stupid mistakes in our lives, and usually it's a lot worse than what Joba did. With that said, this stuff is still mildly entertaining so...
Yankees Playing A Familiar Tune
There’s something alarmingly familiar going on with the Yankees in this young 2009 season: Last night Yankee hitters left 17 runners on base. On Monday, Opening Day, they left 20 runners on.This was a frustrating trend for this team all last season. A team that was supposed to score a ton of runs was consistently unable to get the big hit to drive in the big run. Will this...
Two Games Is Probably Not a Trend
I just want to point out that two games is probably not a trend.So the team ERA is currently sitting at terrible. So the team is 0-2 and 2 games back of the first place Orioles. So Mark Teixeira has one measly hit. So the Orioles really should be a team we can beat up on while Tampa Bay and the Red Sox beat up on each other.So what to all those things.Two games is not a trend...
Madden: Don't Worry About Tex And C.C.
The same guy that acted like Monday's loss was a big deal is now talking about how even hall of famers gets yankee jitters too:Okay, so the first returns on the combined $341 million the Yankees gave CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira were something less than sterling. Actually, they were awful. With Sabathia's 4-1/3 innings of eight-hit, six-run, no-strikeouts misery and Teixeira...
Yankees Look to Even Record with First Win
[Due to the holiday, I will be unable to cover this evening's game]The Yankees will try for their first win of the season today, sending their is-he-or-isn't-he-an-ace pitcher, Chien Ming Wang, to the mound in Baltimore.Wang lead the Yankees' rotation in wins in 2006 and 2007, winning 19 games each of those years, and was on pace to do so again in 2008 before a foot injury...
It took one inning of one baseball game...
The Yankees are back. That's the good news. The bad news? They brought last year's bullpen with them. I know. It's one game. One awful, excruciating game where the starter sucked and the bullpen was even worse. And manager Girardi in all his wisdom was hell-bent on running out the entire bullpen. How else can you explain why Girardi had Edwar Ramirez up and throwing as...
Pettitte Strong as Yankees Take Opener (Postgame Notes 10 April 2009)
Andy Pettitte was not a big name signing in the offseason, but never matter. Tonight, he pitched like it. Through seven innings, Pettitte allowed just three hits and walked one while striking out six. One of the hits was a ball misplayed by Nick Swisher in right; had it been ruled an error, Pettitte would still not have an ERA.Strangely enough, Kansas City pitching actually struck...
