So sad I'll miss it. Heading down to Wildwood in this dreadful weather for my daughter's gymnastics states championship.

 

[yankeesince59]

^^^ no kidding?...she's that good?

...can she play 3B too?

Hey Vic, I'll be missing it also as I have to attend a surprise 70th birthday party for a friend. I really hate these things.

 

[Lillie]

The Yankees place CC Sabathia on the 15 day DL with a Left Groin Strain and call up Phil Coke to the 25 Man Roster as per Meredith Marakovits.

Pretty cool hope she does well, Wildwood, used to go there as a kid nice memories of that place, ditto Cape May.

So in all likelihood Coke will go to the pen & Nova will now be a starter.

...turning point.

 

[Rick2583]

Oh yeah, there's just no stopping us now. Look out AL East.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Now Cashman needs to sign Lincecum and call up Swisher, that'll get it done.

 

[Lillie]

Alex Rodriguez (Hamstring) could potentially return from the DL when eligible on May 19th as per Bryan Hoch.

 

[Rick2583]

Tonight's lineup............


CF - Ellsbury (260)
LF - Gardner (247)
1B - Teixeira (225)
C - McCann (267)
DH - Beltran (250
2B - Castro (293)
RF - Hicks (.091)
SS - Gregorius (215)
3B - Torreyes (346)

 

[yankeesince59]

...Gardner in LF instead of Gamel?...say it ain't so.

 

[Rick2583]

Yeah, its like they're trying to throw this game,

 

[Lillie]

Don't worry Rick, they will figure out a way to lose somehow. I can't believe that both The Cubs and The White Sox have the best records in The MLB. People in Chicago must be really excited.

 

[Messiah717]

^^^ no kidding?...she's that good?

...can she play 3B too?

She's very good. Has to defend her title. Then Worlds are in Orlando in June.

 

[mrmel29]

And ellsbury limps off with another leg injury and out of the game. Shocker that mr. glass hurt again. 6 weeks on the dl sounds about right

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Just got in, no surprises, Yankees losing, Bomb for Big Sloppi, Pinada can't hit a bull in the ass with a shovel, why am I not surprised?

 

[yankeesince59]

She's very good. Has to defend her title. Then Worlds are in Orlando in June.

...that's great, man. How old is she?...Olympics maybe in her future?

 

[yankeesince59]

...two horribly bad reads in a row by Hicks on fly balls that should have been caught.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

6th inning Pineda on the hook&^*&&^%%%^$&^)(*(&)()*.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Mr Pineda dodged a huge bullet, that could have been really ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yankeesince59]

...wow, that ball was smoked.

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Damn, never easy for this group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Rookie mistake by Shrek, not guarding the plate with a full count, ... go back to Pawtucket,

Someone throw a few beer's on the lame ass, cool IT down....

 

[Yankeefan5545]

Miller with a very adventurous 9th but he showed some nads striking out Shrek and Hanley. Looked like McCann and Shrek had a pretty serious conversation on Shreks earlier at bat. Wonder what that was about. Good to see Headley not in the game.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

"Some of my best hits, were balls out of the strike zone" - Tony Gwynn

 

[Lillie]

Jacoby Ellsbury has a slight strain in his Hip Muscle and is listed as Day to Day as per Meredith Marakovits.

This guy doesn't play with a hangnail...

 

[Lillie]

This guy doesn't play with a hangnail...

You are right Frank he is an injury waiting to happen. I am assuming he will go on the 15 day DL along with CC and Aroid. This team is just getting worse by the day.
