I totally missed that thread! Thanks.

Interesting article about the TJ surgery: http://mlb.si.com/2014/05/29/tommy-john-surgery-paper-dr-james-andrews-asmi/

I was just reading last night's game recap on the 'Pinstriped Alley' and this phrase stuck with me: "John Ryan Murphy continued to Wally Pipp Francisco Cervelli with a single and two RBI." Wally Pipp someone is a hell of a way to put it, hahahaha. Does anyone else find this funny, or is it just me?

He's been surprisingly productive when he's played. I guess the bumps and bruises are just something we'll have to live with, given his age. Besides, I can't dislike the guy as much as you do, he's got Portuguese roots

It bothers me that whenever I go to mlb.com to check the highlights of the Yankees previous game I have to watch Carlos Beltran doing a 5-hour energy ad in which he claims: - After 16 years in the majors, I know winning takes something extra Well, first of all, with all the steroid and doping allegations going around baseball, who was the genious that came up with this line? I really would have liked to be present at the meeting where someone said: 'Let's promote our drink around baseball by saying this is something extra'. Second: Dear Carlos, I know we were supposed to get you 7 years ago, so it's not like we didn't see the injuries coming. But hey, if that 5 hour crap is so good, and really is an extra, use the damn thing and get back on the field!

I think you meant a 'win'. Didn't they lose the first game?

And more good news, CC Sabathia has a degenerative knee injury. Oh, goody...

The fact that someone noticed it is in itself a proof of how rare that is nowadays. Do they also count pitches in say, Japan? Or better yet, do they use pitch counts in the same way as in the US?

And since we need a starter, Pavano too.

I bet Cashman is trying to get Giambi back somehow...

Is there anybody on this roster that you do like?

To what do you attribute the loss of velocity? His velocity was a weapon that he knew how to use. At times he seems lost without it. It's like he is surprised when throws a fastball and it barely tops 90. Drive certainly comes into question, but I really do not like the fact that someone decided that his body needed a change because it might break down. Well, guess what, his brand new body just broke, he was placed on the 15-day DL with right knee inflamation. Healthy or not, his overweight body worked for him and he did not have any major issues with it or with his performance until some genious decided that he should be 'fit'.

Both valid points. I kind of liked him, but that stunt he pulled his last year was really really stupid.

What bothers me is that Sabathia can't. Whose idea was it to make him go on a diet????? Put him back on soda and fried chicken ASAP!

Well, they were all important parts of world series winning teams, so they should get some form of recognition. Plaques sound nice, it's not too much and they'll get their place in history. Just out of curiosity, what do you hate the most about Jorge?

Just ignore him. He's no longer a member of the Yankees, and because he chose not to. Why should we care?

Let's hope!

Do you think he's old enough for the Yankees to sign or trade for? I bet Cashman is depressed right now because there aren't enough players over 40 on the roster. Give a guy like Jason Giambi credit. He's 43 and still playing and helping out the Indians.

Just read an article about that on SI.com According to the article, overuse of young pitchers seems to be the root of the problem.

Apparently pitch framing is a skill that the Yankees consider very important. It's one of the reasons they allowed Chris Stewart to play for that many games last season.

I'm starting to understand you better as the years go by... This Nova trip to the DL was not something I thought might happen. I thought he might suck, not that he'd get injured.

Wow...! I just asked because I had never heard of it, and when I went back to the home page to check for it, it wasn't there so I thought it was a typo or something. Now that I've read your story...wow! I hope you get better soon, not because of the mod. There isn't much I can do all the way from Portugal, but I'm pulling for you. That's it from me really, I hope you get better!

Just out of curiosity, there is a 1971 TC?

So far, as good as advertised. So far...
