The Modells near me has the Swisher player T-Shirts. I think I am going to pick one up this week at some point. Not worth investing the money in aSwisher jersey in my opinion.

I'll see what I can do, but don't count on me. When I saw them yesterday, they only had 2 of them (must be selling fast).

First 22 games.....

15 road
7 home

7-6 so far

12-10 after 22 would be solid........ (88 game win pace without A-Rod & 68% road games)
13-9 would be real nice....... (13-9 = 96 game win pace)
Anything better = fantastic

 

[frankie valentino]

Just got home from the game. My plumber connection leant me his guest pass so i got to diddy bop past everyone and get into the game for free. I must saythough, if you don't mind standing, there is no reason to not buy the cheapest seats possible and just hang out in the first level and watch the game frombehind the handicapped seats.

 

[yankeephan87]

Man, I know you cant say what if but if Wang kept us at least IN those games we would've won at least 2 of them. With Melancon and Sanchez beasting in theminors in the bullpen im pretty sure there going to replace Veras and coke. Theres no need for Coke as he is not reliable against righties and Marte for now isfine for lefties only. Hes too shaky to bring in for even 3 outs against righties. Melancon for the 7th.. Bruney 8th... game over 9th. Combine that with arodfilling this lineups void and I can see us running away with the division.

 

[venom lyrix]

^ easier said than done.

Nice comeback today, when I was at work and saw Pavano no hitting us I almost collapsed. I'm so happy he didnt get the win because that would have been thebiggest kick in the nuts ever. Gotta keep this up, we should breeze by Oaktown. The return of Giambi! ... I will be at the game on Tuesday. Going to get therelike 4 hours early to walk around, I am very excited.

 

[tbone95860]

Monday: LHP Dana Eveland (0-0, 6.75) vs. LHP Andy Pettitte (1-0, 2.51), 7:05, YES/ESPN

Tuesday: LHP Brett Anderson (0-2, 4.85) vs. LHP CC Sabathia (1-1, 3.57), 7:05, MY9

Wednesday: LHP Josh Outman (0-0, 6.4 vs. RHP Joba Chamberlain (0-0, 5.06), 1:05, YES


Better get at least 2 out of 3

 

[yoda]

I haven't been around as much 'cause of this job..

Will be watching tonight

Hello,

So I couldn't post Saturday night because how angry and drunk I was I may have Rihanna'd ole girl after my venting. We got there a little late becauseshe parked by her aunt's house and we had to walk. Walked into the stadium when Jorge was batting and it was 2-0. We walked around grabbed a beer and bythe time we sat down it was 7-2. From that point just started yelling and cussin to get Wang's limp self outta there. When it was 11-2 everyone startedchanting "We Want Swish" and I swear Jeter turned around with this ice grill and everyone shut up. "Indians" fans got a beer thrown at them

I was so toasted by the end I was arguing with the concession lady to give me something other than Bud Light. Stayed for the whole game we both got toomessed up and had to take the train back. And no true blue I don't @#*@*+# simp and no deadset no pics

It was hot as hell out, half of my face was browner than the other and %!##. But her Jeter jersey came off quick as soon as we sat down and felt the sun. Welooked like a bad couple though with the same jersey, same color jeans, same black sneakers and same exact fitted on only difference was my USA hockey T-shirtunderneath

Thats why he one of the Yankee's I do respect tho. No matter what, good or bad this dude takes that Captain role seriously. He knows Wang isgoing through something right now and it isnt to his benefit to be gettin it from the home fans, if he pitch at Fenway this weekend the Wang jokes will be infull effect im sure but thats expected. But to be hearing from the home crowd that you would rather have the Right fielder come in and pitch is demoralizingespecially how fast you guys turned on him. Last year he was your savior until he went out for the season. This year he is Ian Kennedy. But yea just thought Iwould chime in since I respect Jeter and his game/attitude/role he plays for you guys.





























Although the Red Sox fan in me says keep demoralizaing the Wang hopefully he cant get up the rest of the year.

Buster Olney article on new Yankees Stadium.

The new Yankee Stadium's home run problem

Sunday, April 19, 2009 | Feedback | Print Entry

Sure, there are a handful of problems that need to be sorted out in Citi Field, the Mets' new ballpark. The visiting relievers can't really see the games from their bullpen in right-center field, and their video screen operates with a delay of about 15 seconds (by the count of the Brewers' relievers). There is little hot water and no music in the visiting clubhouse, and they need to squeegee out the whirlpool because of a drainage issue.
But those are minor details that can be ironed out eventually. The Yankees, on the other hand, might have a whopper of a problem on their hands that could have long-term, big-picture ramifications for them. Their new ballpark is playing like Coors Field East. The Yankees totaled five homers Friday, and the Indians launched six Saturday. If you include the two exhibition games played against the Cubs the weekend before the season started, there have been 25 homers in five games, and already word has gotten around baseball about the acute hitting conditions at the new park in the Bronx. A number of rival executives wrote e-mails late Saturday indicating that they'd heard from their own scouts and other sources that new Yankee Stadium plays very, very differently than old Yankee Stadium. And in the aftermath of the Indians' 22-run outburst, Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Indians manager Eric Wedge talked about the ballpark. From Mark Hale's piece: Girardi: "It seems to be playing somewhat short. You don't see this many home runs usually. It's too early to tell, but the early indications are the balls are carrying to right field."
Wedge: "It definitely does fly [to right] here as compared to the old Stadium." The Indians took advantage of the slump-ridden Chien-Ming Wang and his flat sinker Saturday; Wang has allowed 23 runs in six innings and has the Yankees scrambling to figure out how to fix him. And after Wang was replaced by rookie Anthony Claggett, Cleveland -- which is an excellent offensive team -- frolicked some more. There will be days when it's the Yankees who take advantage of the conditions; this is what happened Friday, when Derek Jeter slammed a tiebreaking home run far over the right-field wall. Mark Teixeira might hit 50 homers this year if the ballpark continues to play as small as it has, and there will be a lot of fun high-scoring games for the home team. (This is where I channel Eric Karabell and Matthew Berry: If you are a fantasy player, you should immediately go out and overpay for Teixeira or A-Rod or Nick Swisher, the way you would've overpaid for Vinny Castilla and other Rockies in the '90s.) But the Yankees' broader vision has always been based on pitching, and privately, club officials must be scared to death by what they are seeing in their new park, which seems to have an offense-happy mind of its own, like the Plymouth in the Stephen King thriller "Christine." If new Yankee Stadium is, in fact, a wind tunnel where two or three or four or more home runs are hit per game, the challenges for the front office just got even more complicated. In the immediate future, they have to try to get Wang right. But if every high fly he allows falls over the fence, that will only reinforce the confidence problem he has. As they incorporate the young pitching they have been developing -- guys like Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes, who is off to a good start in Triple-A -- that process could be affected in the same way it has been for young pitchers in Colorado, Texas, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, etc., organizations that inhabit ballparks that play small. And if the home runs continue to fly out of Yankee Stadium and pitchers' ERAs climb over 5.00, they could have as difficult a challenge in luring free-agent hurlers as the Rockies, Rangers, Reds, Phillies and Astros have had through the years. "Nobody will want to go to pitch there if it's a bandbox," one veteran Brewer said yesterday, musing about the conditions. Meanwhile, over at Citi Field on Saturday, J.J. Hardy blistered a fourth-inning pitch from Johan Santana toward left-center field -- a long drive that, in Milwaukee, probably would've landed near the Pfister Hotel downtown. But Citi Field is enormous between right-center and left-center, like a hybrid of Petco Park and the Giants' home field, as one Padre described it to a Mets compatriot earlier this week. Beltran raced back, slowed in front of the left-center-field wall and caught the ball on the front edge of the warning track. After some visiting players saw the park recently, they predicted that Mets hitters will soon have some unflattering things to say about the dimensions. Milwaukee left fielder Ryan Braun is awed by the dimensions.
The Yankees would love to have those kinds of issues now.

But first, the Bombers have to figure out what to do with Wang, writes Wallace Matthews. http://bats.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/18/what-the-yankees-can-and-cant-do-about-chien-ming-wang/
The Yankees could use an off day to buy time for a decision on Wang, writes Tyler Kepner.
They had their worst inning in franchise history, writes Anthony McCarron.
Claggett won't forget his debut, writes John Jeansonne.
Ben Francisco figures he's never been part of an inning like that, Paul Hoynes writes.
Citi Field fails to showcase the Mets' history, writes Mike Vaccaro.
