I am sorry to all of my every day readers. I have been very busy over the last few days and have not been able to write. However, I have a lot to talk about for this entry. First of all, Joba Chamberlain. Joba has been just awful this Spring. He does have a start today [...] -

Well, they do in some cases. The #5 starter job is on the line and this decides it for them. Also, it can decide how much playing time a guy like Winn or Thames gets. Should we say that players are going to do exactly what they do in Spring Training as they do in [...]

I agree with you. I was just reporting what was going on in the games. Is it cause for concern? Probably not, but it’s worth noting. I think that Mitre will wind up getting the nod for the 5th starter since no one else seems to want it. What do you think?

Yea I think they will be better also. However, there are two things that are in the back of my mind: 1) Can they stay healthy? 2) Will the major changes that they made lead to chemistry problems or a difference in the way the team plays? The second question is the reason I did [...]

The Yankees headed into Monday’s game against the Phillies 1-4 through their first five Spring Training games. With Javy Vazquez on the mound for them for the first time since Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS, they were not sure how to feel. On the very first pitch of the game, Jimmy Rollins took him deep [...]
