D-Unit Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 [align=center] The Yankees are looking to rebound from a loss to the Los Angeles Angels Of Anaheim in the 2005 American League Division Series, losing three games to two. But this year, the Yankees have rebuilt the bullpen with Mike Myers, Ron Villone, Octavio Dotel, and Kyle Farnsworth, the new set-up man to Mariano Rivera. But the biggest splash in the pool was definetely inking Johnny Damon to a four year, $52 million deal to patrol the legendary center field at Yankee Stadium, which was graced by Yankee heroes such as Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and recently Bernie Williams. They also aquired Bobby Abreu and Craig Wilson to reinforce the lineup with patience and power, as well as defense. Cory Lidle was also dealt for and will be in the back end of the rotation, with Sal Fasano, who was picked up from Free Agency, can serve as a backup catcher. In 2006, the Yankees threaten to be one of the greatest offenses baseball has ever seen, and with the theme "Pride, Power, Pinstripes", this Bronx ballclub figures to win it all this year.

D-Unit Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 For some reason, the lineup keeps showing up without a DH. I just tried playing and there is no DH. I kept switching around the option of a DH in MVP and it seems to do nothing. It's really weird... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 MVPEdit, check the lineup it's probably because you changed a man that was on the lineup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Good idea, MVP is an escape from reality so Lidle can still live in one form or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 [align=center]April 3rd, 2006 [/align] [align=center][/align] [align=center] [/align] [align=center]Bobby Abreu's RBI single in the first, Johnny Damon's eighth inning single.[/align] [align=center] Jorge Posada's ugly tag on Abreu's throw, Mariano Rivera pitching sharp. [/align]Opening Day 2006 has finally arrived, and the Yankees' high octane offense was shut down for the most part by Oakland ace Barry Zito, but they got just enough to squeak by with a 2-1 victory. Zito (0-1) was charged with two runs on only three hits, and had nine strikeouts, but four walks led to a pitch count of 108 that knocked him out of the game. Randy Johnson (ND) pitched great as well, allowing one run on seven hits in six strong innings with four K's. He threw only 73 pitches but was removed for precautionary reasons. "We wanted to make sure he was fine. He did his job, but his arm started dropping and he wasn't following through anymore," said manager Joe Torre. "He was leaving pitches over the plate and it was a tight game in which we didn't want to lose from fatigue." The right move was made indeed. But before that, the Yankees jumped out to 1-0 in the first when new Yankee Johnny Damon singled, stole second, moved to third on Derek Jeter's groundout, and scored on Bobby Abreu's single. After the game, Damon told reporters "It felt great wearing a Yankee uniform, it's a privelege among baseball players. And going 2-2 with two walks and two runs scored is probably the best night a leadoff man can have. And the first run we scored was pure fundamentals, the most basic way to manufacture runs." In fact, all of the five hits permitted between Zito (3) and reliever Justin Duchscherer (2) were singles, which is not a hint to the offense potential the Yankees have. After the Bombers had the one run lead, it was knotted up in the Oakland third when Eric Chavez's RBI double scored Mark Ellis, who had singled earlier in the inning. Chavez was a perfect 3-3. The two teams from separate coasts then traded zeroes throughout the next four frames. But leading off the eighth, Damon notched his second hit of the game, a screaming liner through Zito's legs. At this point, A's manager Ken Macha pulled Zito in favor of Duchscherer. Damon advanced to second before Jason Giambi singled him in to make it 2-1. By then, Johnson was out of the game, and Brian Bruney (1-0), a free agent last seen with the Diamondbacks, had already worked a perfect seventh inning with only four pitches. The large crowd went nuts after two hits off of Kyle Farnsworth put runners on the corner with nobody out. But then a high fly ball off the bat of Mark Kotsay went to deep right field. But Bobby Abreu got a great running start, caught the ball, and made a spectacular throw at the plate to nail the runner at the plate easily to record a second out. Then Jason Kendall singled to left, and once again, the A's were pushing for a run, this time they waved Mark Ellis home. But Hideki Matsui got it in quick, and a second great throw nailed Ellis to end the inning. The typical ninth inning for the Yankees saw a vintage Mariano Rivera strike out the side on eleven pitches to preserve a 2-1 victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
