That's Bobby V though. He has always been that way. The Red Sox have been a circus the last couple season's and they hired the perfect Ring Master.

Islayphile · 02-29-2012, 12:05 PM

Yup, a blowhard running his mouth.

Yankees first Spring Training game will be Friday against the University of South Florida on Friday. Sunday they will be on the YES Network against the Phillies at 1pm.

Who cares. Boston is third place team at best.

I agree. The Ray's are closer to the Yankees then the Sox are.

Islayphile · 03-02-2012, 12:23 PM

With the new rules coming down the pipe, 3rd place can get them a wildcard spot.

MedicCook · 03-02-2012, 11:25 PM

Yankees beat the college team today to open up spring training games.

MedicCook · 03-07-2012, 11:59 AM

The Yankees are on the YES Network today at 1pm.

x man · 03-07-2012, 12:28 PM

Wish we had yes in Philth adelphia.

MedicCook · 03-08-2012, 10:13 AM

The first injury of the spring has hit the Yankees. David Robertson has a mild ankle sprain. The injuy happened while at his house. He is getting an MRI done and after that they will have more of an idea about how long he will be out for.

Islayphile · 03-08-2012, 10:40 AM

I read that...not a good start but at least it's early March

MedicCook · 03-09-2012, 10:28 AM

Yankees are on YES today at 1pm.

MedicCook · 03-13-2012, 04:16 PM

Yankees & Red Sox tonight on YES at 7pm.

VirtualSmitty · 03-28-2012, 07:23 AM

Thread slowed down. So much happening. Joba hurt again, Ibanez blasts his first spring HR (and what second hit? lol), Pineida finds his velocity after all that talk of him slowing down, Andy comes out of reitrement, A-Rod looks sharp, Kuroda is pitching well, things are looking good again.

And Ryan, you are slacking!

Islayphile · 03-28-2012, 12:38 PM

Yeah, lot's of stuff going on in Yankee Universe..most of it good

I can't wait till the the season starts

For me the most positive thing to come out of spring has been Phil Hughes
I think he's the key to a successful season.
It's time for him to become the pitcher we all hoped he would be.
I expect Nova to take a step back, so Phil needs to stay off the DL, in the rotation, and stay consistent all season long!

wanna bet a fiver.....

BigJPinDC · 03-28-2012, 02:18 PM

Something's going on with Phil behind the scenes I think. He was Phil the Franchise, the guy they wouldn't trade for Johan Santana and then wasn't he injured during a no-hitter and now he's fighting for a rotation spot with Freddy Garcia? I would really like to see him succeed.

I wonder if there is still left over animosity to him from when he and Ian Kennedy and Joba were all acting like punks when they first came up.

Keys for me are Texiera figuring out how to overcome the shift and Swisher staying healthy. I can't wait for the season to start!

I think if they were confident in the back end of the rotation Andy wouldn't be back. I think Phil is better suited to the bullpen myself.

MedicCook · 03-28-2012, 09:21 PM

Nova has not been very consistent this spring either. I can see him being sent back to Triple-A to figure things out.

BigJPinDC · 04-01-2012, 10:37 AM

Looks like the opening day roster today in Miami:

Derek Jeter SS
Curtis Granderson CF
Robinson Cano 2B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Mark Teixeira 1B
Nick Swisher RF
Raul Ibanez DH
Russell Martin C
Brett Gardner LF

LHP CC Sabathia

Hopefully Ibanez will be on a short leash. I feel like there is more upside to Andrew Jones.
