M. Pineda (6-10, 5.17)

vs.

E. Rodriguez (2-5, 5.93)

Lineups to follow...
 
Gardner -LF
Ellsbury -CF
Headley -3B
Rodriguez -DH
Castro -2B
Gregorious -SS
Sanchez -C
Romine 1B
Hicks -RF
 
Pineda had a neck X-Ray, results: his hat isn't crooked, his head is...!
 
Sanchez looks like the real deal. Now get another prospect or 2 for mccann. Heard Girardi's pregame press conference. Someone asked him a question about the pitching and refsnyder going down and the only thing missing from his answer was rolling the marbles in his hand like captain queeg. He looks like he's ready for a nervous breakdown.
 
Yanks made a roster mover-
Sent down Refsnyder and Goody.
Called up Ben Heller and Luis Cessa.
Heller becomes the first of the players acquired at the deadline to appear for the Yanks. (Miller trade)
Good riddance Goody....tough break for Ref.
Maybe he'll be back on the next shuttle.
I would've preferred Tyler Webb AND Heller.
Glad to see Heller get the call....at least the Yanks are rewarding a kid who has done well at AAA instead of another recycled stiff.

Heller is gonna be a fixture on the back end of our bullpen
 
Just saw a Sports Center side car that reported Joe G said no to A-rodham about playing 3rd base.
 
As the hicks debacle continues with brainless baserunning

Yanks needed to get some fresh bodies for the pen after last night when they used 7 relievers.
Knowing the dumbass Yanks, they wouldn't have called up Heller UNLESS they used up 7 relievers.
But why not bring up Tyler Webb instead of Cessa along with Heller?
Both of their LHs pitched yesterday and Webb is a LH and he's been excellent at AAA especially his last 10 games- 16.1 IP, 1.65 ERA, 0.93 WHIP.

Here we have a reliever Webb doing well at AAA and the Yanks keep the revolving door going with the likes of Yates, Goody, Bleier, Layne, Coke, Swarzak, Parker with Shreve being their steady LH.

Am I missing something?
 
Hope knucklehead Pineda holds them.
I think Eduardo is going to be tough on the Yanks tonight.
He beat them in July, 7 IP 1 ER....
...otherwise he's been a gas can with a 5.93/ 1.56.
He might be one of those guys who becomes an AllStar when he plays the Yanks.
 
Looks like the Redsox have a Yankee killer with Eduardo Rodriquez.

So far in two starts vs Yanks 13 IP, 2 ER....
....and counting.
The fukn gas can.
 
Not a spectacular outing But at least old Pinky only gave up 2 runs. Looks like 1 run is insurmountable at this point. Lets see how the Boston Pen will do . Ed Rod, look at his ERA and record and the Yankees turn him into Cy Young.
 
2nd night in a row red sox player reacts like a soccer player after getting injured. Man up and stay the fuck out of the way of the sanchez train. Choo choo. Now I really like this kid.
 
Way to go Joe....leadoff single and then PH for Romine (vs a LHP) who already has homered with a guy batting below .200 who strikes out ALOT, Teixeira.
Asshole.
 
Don't mind the Youth train from Scranton to the Bronx. Do mind the brainless minds making
these moves in search of more finds. It's all about the business end of their product!
 
Tex pinch hitting there is what worries me about Girardi when he's going to be handed a lot of young players. He has this absurd devotion to these veterans even when they haven't produced all season.
 
once again A-Roid tried to pull the outside low pitch, in lieu of serving up a line drive to the RF-CF gap, or RF fkng period.....

yeah, he got one RBI, bigfkngdeal, he could of had 2, maybe 3....

this is what i will always remember when I hear A-Fraud's name, a sucker for the gopher pitch, like the 2 strike ankle high swing, just prior.....


FK YOU Fraud Cheat, scandalous POS...! I'm thrilled to never see his ass on a diamond again, after manana.....

...^^^ indeed, which IMO, is Joe's Achilles Heel, when it comes to Managing....

ALL systems go....he hits the ball hard, he throws hard and he runs hard.

Yep. Reminds me of a certain ny hockey coach.
 
It'll take some balls to bring in Heller for the 8th with a 4-2 lead.....nope, not gonna happen.
He stays with Cessa for another inning.

Okay...maybe tomorrow.
Anxious to see him - by all accounts I've seen and looking at his numbers, he's a legitimate top late inning reliever with two very good pitches...fastball and slider.
I hope he isn't up here just for emergency duty and they plan on sending him back very shortly.
I don't see why he can't be used in mid relief....jeez, even Kirby Yates amoung others had their chances.
