It’s cold, gray and windy out there today. A soup is good food afternoon if there ever was one. Bundle up, settle in and let’s hope the Yanks give us reason to cheer.
Fab Five Freddy takes the hill.
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

when was freddy garcia a power pitcher? he was a sinker/slider guy in seattle.
Sox are sitting Crawford anf his .340 OPS.
What a perfectly shitty day to sit inside and watch the game. Hey Freddy! Go at least 5, wouldja?
4-3ter!
At least Jeter's ground ball went to the second base side.
Way to go Swish.
YES!
A mammoth shot, eh Kay?
Best way to avoid a double play.
Alex is just not waving at bad pitches right now.
Oh well, I'll trade the two run homer for another twin killing.
ah nutz.
Freddy leaving pitches up.
You still in Peru, William?
[14] Just got back, but wish I was still there. Think it's going to take me a week or so to get back into the flow.
I was very against the Jeter signing going higher then 3/$45m. I thought that was too high and a year too long. But I was not only against it as a Yankee fan, but as a Jeter fan. As popular as he is, even last year he was already getting a lot of shit from fans.
I'm not saying he's done, but it is looking that way. If so, and we have 2 or 3 more years after this one, it's gonna be really ugly, both watching him and reading comments on various blogs about him.
I just hope IF he continues to suck, he will bow out gracefully before his contract ends.
Andew Jones smiled after hitting into a dp last night. He just smiled after striking out. I do not like this.
i can't really picture andruw jones without a smile
[17] Not everyone can act like a 2 year old and throw a temper tantrum like Paul O'Neill.
[2] He has to rest sometime, I think he has played in every game up to this point.
Jones does have a nice smile. I hope to see it more often after postive outcomes. ; )
Bingo!
Morning all, sorry to hear about your lousy weather, I'll enjoy the 84 and cloudless for everyone!
Meanwhile, how has Freddy Fifth Flinger looked?
Whoa, nice catch, Nick.
Dag, maybe we oughtta chip in and buy the Mutts a big roll of toilet paper. Not even out of April yet and already they're "best" pitcher is...
Yikes, that's some crazy wind out in RF today.
[22] lol. He's always smiling, isn't he?
[23] He's done well so far, mixing pitches and locations, and more importantly throwing strikes.
Nice job by Freddy thus far.
[28] Fat Freddy Fifth Flinger, I think of him as some ancillary character in a Guy Ritchie film ...
Hmmm. Alex out, Chavez in.
Hello all. Nice to see William back on the beam.
Freddy did good!
And, really liking Joba this year. His tag out of Pie during the week was a smart gutsy baseball play and shows what a load he is.
C'mon Sori, don't make this exciting now.
Yes, William, welcome home, bro.
Yeah, like this kind of excitement. Bear down Soriano.
A Rod leaves game with lower back oblique stiffness.
Uh oh, Alex left the game with "low back and oblique stiffness".
Let's hope it's just because of the cold and damp ...
Dammit, Blue that was close.
fuck.
And now a bad luck squibber scores another run.
Sori has some shitty body language right now.
and ... EXHALE.
missed it by that much....
Sori's got nada
THERE YOU GO!
Well, maybe un poquito
Holland has pitched a really nice game.
(46) What about his songwriting partners, Dozier and Holland?
Think the Soriano signing will work out, but the Yankees can't be married to formulas that require 3+ innings of bullpen work every game. I realize Garcia had a long layoff, but he was around 80 pitches and seemed to be sailing. Like the CC game against Minny, Girardi has to get his starter innings when he can because this rotation isn't always going to be able to give them.
FUCK YES
Don't you wish that YES stayed with the game a little longer before Mo's ap
pearances so they show Mo entering to Enter Sandman - which, in fact, is not played nearly as loud as it should be at the Stadium itself.
Robbie gets 'em back!
Love me some Robbie!
Way to go Robbie!
A little breathing room!
Robbie the RIPPER!
Thanks Texas!
That error might soon cost Mo a save.
Groan....Think Mike waited all day to say "Mr. Holland's Opus"?
[48] It's the Yankees and Girardi, they're married to the idea. Didn't you see Robertson warming up when Soriano got in trouble?
Man and the Bulls were down all day long and came back in the last minute and stole Game 1 from the underdog Pacers. D Rose with 39 pernts. 19-21 from the line.
[57] At least he didn't say the obvious double entendre reference to the Holland Tunnel.
OI! WTF, Gardner. If you can't hit or run the bases what's the use.
[61] He just doesn't make the right reads...Granderson should teach him a few things.
Even R.C. Martin steals a base with more conviction.
All praise be to Mo.
Praise due.
Praise him like you should
It is right that we should praise Him.
Do the Yankees have the heaviest pitching rotation in major league history?
Sabathia - 290
Colon - 265
Garcia - 250
Burnett - 230
If Silva (280) takes Nova's (225) start it's got to be close.
