Meh. I'll be joining you guys today again. It's damn cold outside and I don't want my kid getting sick. If something like yesterday happens again, I'm killing someone.

It's still so damn cold out -- it's going to be tough to pitchin this weather....

Looks like the cold is already affecting decisions for today -- Damon is sitting as a result of it being 36!!! in the bronx as well as some harsh winds. Cairo is playing LF and Nieves gets his first start behind the plate as well.

Could be a long day with the cold and no damon, matsui, posada plus Rasner. Either way, GO YANKS

is posada defintely not playing?

Posted: Sun Apr 8, 2007 4:29 pm
by Jitpal
Posada shouldn't be too tired and he's been really hot lately. I wouldn't be surprised if Posada is pinch hitting in the 6th or something. -Jitpal

yeah, but is he starting at catcher?

Posted: Sun Apr 8, 2007 4:37 pm
by fpc833
ok they just said it, no damon, matsui, or posada. but Damon is available to pinch hit. wow we're going to need some luck today with those 3 out, because we lose a lot of offense with them out, not to mention rasner is on the mound...

All that ras baby all that ras!

And why in good gods name is Miguel Cairo getting the start at LF? I understand Damon and Matsui are gone but does it hurt to like call up John Thompson and call down Mike Myers(WHo sucks ass btw). I mean seriously..

Well, there can only be 25 guys up. Means one guy has to be put onto the DL. Damon should be back any day. Matsui is being evaluated and should only be out 5-7 days and not the full 15. If I was managing I'd put Matsui on the DL and bring someone up but that's me and Joe is the hall of fame manager. -Jitpal

I mean Kevin Thompson. :lol:

And yeah Its the Joe Torre factor.

Posted: Sun Apr 8, 2007 4:50 pm
by ReggieFULLeffect
Stupid Torre....Miguel Cairo is not a left fielder --- i agree with you guys why not throw matsui on the DL or send someone down in order to start an OUTFIELDER rather than a utility man who normally plays middle infield..... :banghead:

Hopefully he does ok I want to be proved wrong on this one.

No Posada, Damon, or Matsui???? Rasner on the mound??? = recipe for greatness
