Girardi Makes His Case for Boneheaded Move of the Year Award
Sometimes, you can just be too daggone smart for your own good. The Yankees proved that tonight, losing to the Red Sox 6-3.
Now there was nothing in the game per se that supports my argument. Well, besides the fact that Javier Vazquez was pitching in a big game and I’ve been killing his inability to pitch in big games so there’s no need to stop now. I know, I know he hasn’t been that bad most of the season.

Are the Yankees in Trouble?
Are the Yankees in trouble? It’s a fair question. I know some of you are going to say that I’m crying wolf, or worrrying too much a little too early but let’s be honest, the bullpen is a mess. The fifth starter gets a dirty yellow stain every time he puts on his pinstripes.
For the first time in Yankee history we’ve blown a lead in three straight home games in the 8th inning or later. In two of those games, we had big leads early and blew them both winning one. I know Thames had an error that led to the comeback and all that but let’s be serious here every Yankee fan this side of the afterlife has a little nagging feeling in the back of their brain that maybe the injuries are going to catch up with us.
What a Game
I wonder if everyone who has been hating on the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry was watching tonight. This game was something else! It literally had everything. I know I could focus on the some of the potential negatives (like the bullpen) but for tonight I am simply going to revel in the fact that Red Sox fans are once again cursing Yankee names.
It was a bit surprising to me that Jete swung at ball four twice in the 8th inning. But A-Rod’s shot was a monster! Seriously, go right now and watch it on Yankees.com. He just crushed that thing.
9 Reasons Joe West Is Wrong
In my conversations about Joe West and his inappropriate comments I am hearing a lot of “I agree with him.”
But that misses the point of my post on why Joe should be suspended. The point isn’t whether or not we agree with Joe, the point is that MLB has had a long standing policy of not allowing players or managers to talk badly about umpires, even when everyone including the umpires end up agreeing with them. Managers have been fined and suspended for much less. This isn’t about whether or not anyone thinks the games need to be faster (personally, I think that idea is laughable and very reactionary) but whether or not anyone can make disparaging remarks about other members of the MLB fraternity. To this point, MLB home office has said no.
Live Blogging Opening Night:
8.07: All set, ready to rock and roll. Opening day usually favors the starters, here’s hoping CC is ready to rock and roll.
Top 1: Did Jeter not get the memo about taking a few pitches as the leadoff guy? WITW?
Mid First: 7 pitches! The Yankees need to be a little more patient than that. Absolutely ridiculous.
Bottom 1: April is not typically CC’s month. Victor Martinez did all of that (8 pitches) for a weak grounder. A-Rod leading off the second.
Top 2: Yanks 0, Red Sox 0
Ken Rosenthal is One Crazy Man: Split the Yankees and the Red Sox?
I admit that I Ken Rosenthal sits on my last nerve like no other sports writer. I don’t know why. Even when I agree with him, it makes my stomach tighten. 
Today I came across an article of his that did nothing to change that.
This article in particular. Blow up the leagues? Pull the Yankees and the Red Sox out of the same division because now on top of making money they have diminished any “intellectual advantage” low budget teams may have had? Oh the poor Marlins, they made more money in revenue sharing than they put into their lineup.
