Yardbarker: Kyle Farnsworth

Rafael Soriano is no Kyle Farnsworth

Fri, 04 Dec 2009 09:30:57 -0500

This post is in response to the following, via Sam Borden (LoHud): Thumbs down to anyone who wants the Yankees to go after a ‘big-name’ reliever like Mike Gonzalez or Rafael Soriano…. I’d rather see more of Dave Robertson in 2010 than end up with another Kyle Farnsworth. The perspective is understanable, however, note the following numbers: In [...]

Henry: Revenue Sharing Needs Complete Overhaul

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 19:41:00 -0500

According to Boston.com's Nick Cafardo, Red Sox owner John Henry wants a complete overhaul of MLB's revenue sharing system."Change is needed and that is reflected by the fact that over a billion dollars have been paid to seven chronically uncompetitive teams, five of whom have had baseball’s highest operating profits," Henry responded in an e-mail. "Who, except these teams, can think this is a good idea?"Henry added, "While the Red Sox are in the 16th largest ...

Stupid Farny

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:48:31 -0500

At one point in time in my life I think I could have been nominated for president of the Kyle Farnsworth Haters club. I didn't want the Yankees to sign him, thinking he would never come up big in a clutch spot and I got ticked off every single time (and it was often) that he gave up a big home run or struggled. For the first two years I was amongst the leaders of the anti-Farnsworth charge. And then something changed... It seems to be a personal trait with me, but once an entire city/fanb...

Don't forget that Kyle Farnsworth is your favorite Yankee

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:47:17 -0500

In between his usual pontifications about 17-century French literature and the overlooked need for ethanol-based gasoline alternatives, Farnsworth blamed his 4.80 ERA on former Yankee manager Joe Torre.

For Yankees, today is about getting rid of Farnsworth

Tue, 31 Jul 2007 11:45:00 -0500

The clock is ticking toward today's 4 p.m. major league baseball trade deadline, and as I write this Eric Gagne is still a Texas Ranger, and Scott Proctor and Kyle Farnsworth are still New York Yankees. Most reports have the Yankees, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox all still competing to try and pry Gagne away from the Rangers. As a Yankee fan, I care less about acquiring Gagne than finding somebody, anybody to take Farnsworth-less off the Yankees hands.

Please, Joe -- bury Krazy Kyle!

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 11:05:18 -0500

C'mon Joe, you're killing us New York Yankees fans out here! More to the point, you're killing me. I just cannot watch Krazy Kyle Farnsworth try like hell to implode another Yankee lead. I don't know how you can stand it, either, and I wish you would stop torturing us. Use somebody else -- anybody else -- please!!!

Yankees Better at Talking than Actually Playing

Fri, 18 May 2007 14:06:26 -0500

The Yankees continue to lose and currently they sit 9 1/2 games behind the surging Red Sox, but apparently that hasn't stopped them from having plenty of free time to shoot out some interesting quotes to the media.
