Nice!

Agree 100%, the Yankees should have settled earlier on what his role is.

I didn't mean to criticize Joba's weight, I was just emphasizing how big he is. And you're right. Looks got nothing to do with how he performs. And I hope he performs like he's capable.

Please do not mention Zito and the Yankees in the same sentence. Please, let's not give Cashman any more stupid ideas. You never know who's reading...Maybe he roams this forums, you just never know! On a brighter note, Joba is back with the Yankees. If he doesn't become the elite reliever that I think he can become, we can always laugh at the creative and funny new ways he finds to hurt himself. He's both a pitcher and a comedian. If you don't believe me, just look at his body. There's gotta be at least 2 people in there.

Any thoughts about the trade deadline? The Yankees didn't do too bad. They needed someone to give Chavez a rest, so they got McGehee. Fine by me, since his talents are enought for him to be the 3rd 3rd baseman on the roster. I don't think Dempster will be as effective in Texas as he was in Chicago. The new Dodgers owners are really going for it. A lot of activity to show they are alive. The Reds bullpen should be interesting to watch, with Chapman and Broxton.

Looks great! If the cyberface also gives him the ability to suck during clutch moments, you deserve a statue.

Man...that's tough. I haven't followed much so far. I hope she has good parents, that's really all I can say. Kid-athletes mature faster in some ways, and slower in others. It's an unpredictable situation with anyone. In my opinion what's going to determine her fortunes in the future is wheter she has or not a good support system around her. Good parents, comprehensive coaches and friends are the way to go. A lot of young athletes burnout because too much is expected from them, I can only imagine how she must be feeling. I just hope she's feeling bad because she didn't perform well, instead of feeling bad because she let a bunch of people down. It's a hell of a lot easier to recover from a bad performance than it is from what people expected or thought you should do.

I believe somehow you have changed the settings from 'classic pitching' to 'total control pitching'.

The USA, land of the free, home of the brave and a place where everyone sues everyone else. Not criticizing, just stating a fact. Bullies aren't an exclusive of the US, we have them in Portugal too. And in the past few years it seems to have gotten worse. I agree that internet makes people more aware of the victims, but from what I see both with my nephews and students, this new generation is a bunch of spoiled *******, raised by a generation of entitled brats who think they are owed everything and god, allah and the winds forbid that anything bad might happen to their kids. (wow, I'm an angry dude!) I teach and practice Jiu-Jitsu. I find that my students deal better with frustration, loss and even shitty parents after some time in our classes. Sorry, but it just pisses me off to see these kids today act like it's a disaster when something - anything really doesn't go their way. They have no resilience at all. Very little fight in them, and I blame the parents. It's not all of them, but a large majority. When I was a kid, like everyone else I encountered bullies, shitty people and some who were just plain bad. Like everyone else in my generation, I lived htrough it, suffered through it and in the end I both learned and got stronger from it. It's just life. **** gets tough, fight through it, come out stronger on the other side. That's just how humanity evolved! I fought and confronted some bullies. Sometimes I won, a lot of times I lost. In the end I always came out stronger. One of the guys I stood up to, years later told me he respected me ever since that time because I did what kids his age wouldn't. I was about 10, he was about 17. I've read that the Yankees are trying to trade for Chase Headly. I'd prefer Headly playing everyday over A-Rod, but I just don't see this happening. Like Y4L, I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hoping Cashman doesn't do anything stupid. Greinke's agent is obviously very competent. The Marlins were supposed to set the world on fire, and they seem to have started with themselves. Michael Jackson's relatives won't stop bleeding his finances dry even after he's dead. Afterall, that's pretty much all that family has done over the past 40 years. I'd love to sue some of my old highschool teachers. Some of them were so ugly that they've scarred my memory for ever. Don't even get me started on being frustrated as a kid after losing a game or playing poorly. I'd punch walls and cry. Then someone told me that I'd better use that time practicing to get better so the next time I wouldn't have to cry. It was true. It worked, I eventually played that sport professionally for a year.

I'm always rooting for my countrymen, so Correia is my guy in Pittsburgh.

I'm aware of that, and glad that you guys put him to better use than we did.

Thing are looking up for the Pirates this season. Even AJ Burnett has played well. Which to me, as a Yankee's fan is both sad and depressing. Maybe his pitching style just wasn't suited for the Yankee Stadium afterall...

For me, I see that the hot and cold streaks only come in effect after about 25 games.

Go to the audio options, it might just be that that sound is off or on 'broadcast mode' or whatever they call it.. It has happened to me.

I don't even use a controller. Never liked controllers. Keyboard all the way! Even in MLB 2k12.

I've never tried MVP, but I'm starting to wonder.

I'm always amazed when some terrorist attack of this sort happens because they're generally perpetrated by complete screw-ups in life, who somehow were able to plan and execute complex plans, involving a lot of variables. They always lack the self-awareness to tell themselves: 'Dude, look at the complexity of what you planned. You could actually do something with your life. Go on and invent a better wheel, a five legged table or whatever'. I don't think A-Rod is brittle, he's just aging...And he will be for the next 5 or 6 years the Yankees have him signed for.

Hanley Ramirez traded to the Dodgers, where he will play SS at least until Dee Gordon comes back. Hanley at 3B... well, that crashed and burned fast... Wandy Rodriguez to the Pirates. Smart of them. Anything to prevent a repeat of last season's 2nd half collapse. Wandy should come in handy. A-Rod breaks hand. Seems the more I talk trash about him, the better he plays. Then when he's finally getting some hits, making his existence in the Yankees lineup almost tolerable, King Felix breaks his hand... I just hope Eric Chavez can handle all that time in the field until 'The Alex' returns.

The Yankee Stadium should also hide some of his offensive decline. Let's just hope it doesn't hide it too much so that we don't do anything stupid in the offseason like re-signing him. Also, I was a little puzzled by this: "A couple years ago, we acquired Lance Berkman . He was huge for us down the stretch and the end of the year. He just got on a roll and I think Ichiro can do the same thing." As I remember it, Berkman wasn't so huge. But I get why Girardi said it.

And I was terrified of what the Yankees might do, and then they go and get Ichiro for virtually nothing. Nice! Ibanez and Jones have been spending way too much time in the outfield. Better put them back in the DH spot before they get hurt. And Ichiro can still play defense. Besides, the marketing aspect of this trade will be huge.

Maybe her pretext was that she wanted to save him or something. Anyway, who are we to be making sense of a crazy person...

What's up with crazy women and stalking GM's ? Last year it was Cashman, this year Epstein. I thought you had to play to be eligible to be stalked. Wife burning burgers...check! Being lost on the road and not admitting to the Mrs... Check! Never met Bon Jovi either, but that's fine. And yes, I'm always terrified of what the Yankees might do at this time of the year.
