2010 New York Yankees: YES Network vs. NickSwisherTV.com

yankees start world's most expensive team

weird that the Mets aren't on there...?

i suppose daniel murphy and rod barajas bring the average down significantly

http://www.yfsf.org/2010/04/report-joba-to-be-traded-within-next-week.html

i'm not falling for that.

lol

Nick Johnson is day to day already

GREAT, JOE MORGAN

didn't we have a general game thread or something last year? is someone gonna start one this year?

Man, earlier today I purchased a yearlong mlb.com subscription so I could watch games (I don't have cable), and the first game is a blackout.

id be cool with that but iirc we just posted in the team threads most of the time

xp

oh shit, it's streaming on espn 360, nm

what i meant to say jordan was

WRONG. *locks thread*

both of these teams are savages and i hope every player on each team tears an acl

PEDRO

oh shit, it's streaming on espn 360, nm

my cable provider isn't good enough for 360, the bastards. that's going to be extra irritating when the World Cup starts.

i do love a-rod tho

wait what channel is this on?

Wouldn't mind 4 HRs and 7 RBIs from him tonight, plus they should get Aceves in there in the second inning to throw 8 innings of 14K, no walk baseball (first and last mention of the Devastating Probes tonight, promise)

xpost

ESPN2 I think, but also streaming on ESPN360 for those of us without cable

yea i think it's on nesn & yes in local markets

oh word forgot that we get nesn up here

man feels so good to get baseball back

hell yes

JOR

GE!

Haha BOTH of my fantasy teams take the early HR lead.

dang curtis

HEYYYY

john sterling just said something incomprehensible

Curtis!

Oh SHIT am I a Yankee fan now

sterling: "oh curtis, youre something sort of grandish"

??????

^_^

there is nothing better than watching the yankees beat the sox on nesn. "and...well granderson puts a charge into this one. and...it's a home run."

xp oh god sterling

that was a monster

Beckett is such a punk. This is fantastic.

can adrian beltre save the runs even if they are homers?

Michael Kay bizarrely OTM in calling BS on Singleton's defense of "the human element."

OTOH, the Yankees have "one of the best infields of all time." Did he mean defense? Forgot the 2000 Mets already?

Past a diving Scutaro

Schoenweis warming up in the fourth.

LOL

That is the oldest trick in the book, and it worked.

smh

he was out

yes he was

Calling a HR for Granderson off the lefty here.

Bet you one Paypalled dollar he doesn't.

Yankees to Derek Jeter: Test the market

http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/news/story?id=5843151

heard some radio earlier and it was amazing how fast yanks fans went from fairly polite kvetching abt cano not getting a single mvp vote to OUTRAGE abt that jeter story

http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/6401/should-jeter-want-to-be-modern-babe

Jeter turns 37 next summer. When Ruth turned 37, the Yankees cut his salary, slightly. When he turned 38, they cut his salary by 30 percent. When he turned 39 -- by the way, the Babe was still a highly productive hitter, one of the best in the majors -- the Yankees cut his salary by another 30 percent. And when Ruth turned 40 and was making noise about being bigger than the franchise, the Yankees simply cut him loose.

two sidebar headlines on espn's mlb page:

Source: Rivera talks with Yanks going smoothly

so really, no one has linked yet?

yeah i was going to troll the mets thread yesterday with one of those then blah what's the point

curtis granderson visits new zealand

lol, with Steinbush dead, Randy Levine is the Stankbrass most in need of having his head used for batting practice:

suggest Keep Your Team Off Welfare as 2011 Yanks thread.

Pettitte reportedly set to retire Friday

is he still a 'true yankee' if he abandons them in their hour of need?

he's going to be the vikings' qb next year from what i've heard

is he still a 'true yankee' if he abandons them in their hour of need?

didn't stop him in 2004, lol

when is it not the yankees hour of need?

endless loop animated .gif of cameron diaz feeding a-rod popcorn at the super bowl pls. [/football]

that'll do!

why do we need to see that? o_O

Yankees fans you are in luck. Russ Martin is in the best shape of his life (tm). This would make it the third consecutive spring in which he has made the claim. That means he's due to throw up an 85 OPS+ if the trend holds..

Russell Martin will FITE YOU http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2011/02/09/2011-02-09_russell_grapples_with_mma.html

I used to love Russ then he became a pull happy robot whose only mission was to ground out to third or short or take a walk. He used to be so pretty.

any catcher that will steal a base gets big time brownie points.

michael kay married someone above his station and the nypost is there:

Sabathia is in th ebest shape of his life!

Sabathia, who had knee surgery this offseason, said he is 25 pounds lighter after he stopped eating full boxes of Cap’n Crunch.

crossposted w/ Spring Training.

I'm guessing sanskrit doesn't want to start a 2011 Stanks thread cuz he knows it's gonna be a swan dive.

can't be bothered to think up a title

that wpix broadcaster is so botb, they're perfect together

Get Your Team Off Welfare can't be topped

i like!

this thread title was prescient though considering how Swisher's social media fixation was the only reason he beat out Youkilis for the last AL All-Star spot.

fattest yankees team ever?

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703373404576148633980571882.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Neal Cotts still lookin' like lithe groupiebait

that cracked me up this morning. the print version is even better because the pictures go Colon 245, Sabathia, 290, and then the last and fifth one said Joba, unclear

...hailing from parts unknown!

This is why they built a new Stadium, so the fatties could have an aircraft hangar for a clubhouse

http://i53.tinypic.com/11sjbkh.gif

is that joba in the crowd?!

the best guy has to be the "fuck you" mouthing second row guy wearing sweatpants at night.

The gent in the WS sweatshirt is the real star here.

WOW

these are so unpleasant.

jeter-rod kinda looks like teix. I swear they grow these fools in a lab somewhere..

this made me lol. never thought I would read this sentence.

Jon Heyman of SI.com writes that Freddy Garcia has "a leg up" for the fourth spot in the Yankees' rotation, but that competition for the fifth spot is "wide open."
