Hiroki Kuroda on Wednesday night: 4.1 IP, 6 ER, 10 H, 4 K, 0 BB, 2 HR
And then after the game we learn this…
The New York Yankees placed left fielder Brett Gardner on the 15-day disabled list due to a bruised left elbow and a strained arm muscle.
“We will have to sit him down for a while,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said after his team lost to the Minnesota Twins, 6-5, on Wednesday night. “We’ll try to get him back after 15 days.”
Gardner hurt the elbow while making a sliding catch in the third inning Tuesday night. After the game, he said he slightly injured his wrist, but did not mention the elbow.
With Gardner out, the Yanks will play Andruw Jones and possibly Eduardo Nunez in left. Designated hitter Raul Ibanez can also play the outfield.
Ibanez cannot play the outfield. Please no Ibanez in the outfield.

Big Bad Bartolo had a great game today.
Garder was only playing every other day anyway.

Nice April 19, 2012 01:26
I can hardly believe that we are one Hughes implosion away from losing a series to the fucking Twins. And no Gardner means that Idiot Joe will find a way to put in Raul ‘Alien Cock’ Ibanez into the OF at some point while the Yanks are at Fenway. Fantastic.

Kuroda sucks.

Twins batting practice. Tonight at 7:05.
Duh April 19, 2012 08:58
OMG! The world is ending. We lost a game in April! Our number nine batter is going to the DL! How will we ever survive?
How about the bigger issue of Texiera sucking? Or A-Rod doing nothing? Luckily for us, Ibanez is playing out of his head right now. Otherwise, we’d really be in trouble.
Cletus April 19, 2012 09:10
You’re easily the worst commentor.
Joeybagonuts April 19, 2012 09:30
Teixiera is hitting .350 over the last week but don’t let that get in the way of your manlove for Raul “Snake Eyes” Ibanez.
CJ April 19, 2012 09:33
Duh – Gardner has a .424 OBP and is one of the best defenders in baseball..if not, the best. What does this mean? It means you’re an idiot.
Justin Maxwell April 19, 2012 09:56
BwhahahahahahahahHahahahahahahahahahahaha
The Truth April 19, 2012 10:04
From Girardi’s baffling in game decisions, to his desire to give every regular an off day after winning a game to kill any sense of momentum, this season has so far has been one step forward two back. The only thing that is making me feel a little better is the implosion of the Red Sox.
Ki m Last April 20, 2012 10:52
Lump this.
Andruw Jones April 19, 2012 10:05
HAHAHA!! 2 weeks of me lollygaggin’ my ass around in left field, letting every single be a double ’cause I can’t be bothered to hustle or throw a ball back in hard. MWWAHAHAHA!!!
Fartknocker April 19, 2012 21:44
I remember when you used to weigh 400lbs less. You were pretty good then.
Derek Jeter April 19, 2012 10:05
Hey Nomaas and Cashman, how’s warm butt crack taste.
Al April 19, 2012 10:17
In my lifetime, I don’t think I’ve ever seen such blind allegiance to an athlete like some Yankee fans are with Derek Jeter. I swear he could kill a member of their families and they’d be OK with it.
The Truth April 19, 2012 10:58
Uh I don’t have a blind spot for Jeter. I think he acted like a punk towards A-Rod for years and has done some other shit that ain’t cool either. However after this site and all the wanna be GM’s put this man in the scrap heap, you all need a healthy dose of STFU.
Al April 19, 2012 11:28
Let’s curtail about the healthy does of STFU, we’re 2 weeks into the season and he hasn’t hit over a .750 OPS in each of the last two seasons.
Noxious Fumes April 19, 2012 11:37
We all love Derek Jeter hitting the ball the other way with authority like the good ol’ days. It’s fucking awesome.
But it doesn’t change the fact that from 2010 to the middle of 2011, he was a bad hitter (around .270/.337/.365 – that’s basically David Eckstein’s career rates, folks), and certainly did not belong in the leadoff spot getting extra ABs.
The same Jeter loyalists that defend the man despite a 950 AB slump are the first to rip Tex, A-Rod or any other Yankee when they aren’t hitting. Hilarious.
Al April 19, 2012 11:54
Comment of the year.
The Truth April 19, 2012 12:42
Yo homes, you must have missed the first part of the comment when I said I am not a Jeter apologist. I have ripped him too many times for his actions towards Alex and his blatant use of the media to shill for his new contract.
As for shitting on Tex, A-Rod, Swish or any other Yankee in a slump I don’t do that shit son, try harder than that. I will say that if any Yankee couldn’t afford to come out of the gate slow it was Teixeira, Enough of the shitty April’s and hitting into the shift, he and Swisher cost the Yankees two games in Tampa along with Girardi’s brain dead managing.
Can't Stomach The Truth April 19, 2012 16:57
I’m trying to find the place in this thread that lead you to believe it was about you, rather than Jeter.
Joe Paterno's Ghost April 19, 2012 13:23
Maybe not revered as an athlete, but I sure had some blind support.
Just ask boy anuses all across Pennsylvania.
Joe Páwlikowski April 20, 2012 10:53
Leave Sandusky alone!
Differential Diagnosis April 19, 2012 10:14
Kuroda appears to have mysterious shitbag twin disease, aka Ajayitis. Expect the good HK and the bad HK to alternate back and forth until the Pirates are keen for a deal.
Cousin Kyle April 19, 2012 16:59
At least we only got him on a one-year deal.
benchwarmer April 19, 2012 10:19
Chances Hughes makes it past 4 2/3 innings tonight is slim. It’ll be good for Girardi to realize that his son sucks.
Hughes April 19, 2012 10:40
4 1/3 innings. 10 hits. 4ER. Joe will say “Not a bad outing. He looked good.”
This is a great place to play!!!
Moshe Mandel April 19, 2012 10:20
I’ll massage his elbow and make him feel better. Sexy times for Moshe.
Ritardi Losses:2 April 19, 2012 10:44
This is awesome! Now I don’t have to make up excuses when I sit Gardy! Can he be on the DL all year?
Joe April 19, 2012 10:57
This is one where I am right on. The guy plays like a crazed maniac. If I played him twenty games in a row he would be hospitalized for a year.
Ritardi Losses:2 April 19, 2012 11:32
Let me guess. you love bunting too?
Fucker April 19, 2012 14:49
Oh yeah, I heard that excuse. If only we had someone else on the team that played a similar game to Gardy. Oh yeah! Granderson! I guess he doesn’t need any time off.
Retardee is playing Granderson every day until there is justice for Trayvon.
hi April 19, 2012 13:47
In all fairness, no one here cares about the gooks or the jews. how are the white players performing?

Boone could play left, he’s dreamy…
Joe Girardi April 19, 2012 19:28
Robby’s already got his gold glove. It’s early; we don’t need to win now, so I chose to go with Nuney today at 2nd. And yes, Alex was bombing away during BP yesterday and said he felt the best he has all year, so I thought it was a wise choice to “keep that lightning in the bottle” and save it for another day.
Ritardi losses:2 April 19, 2012 19:30
First inning, and I got the dope hat trick already.
Shitty fielder Nunez makes an error
My uninformed shifting gives up a hit
Old man Ibanez can’t catch a fly ball in the gap
benchwarmer April 19, 2012 21:19
Hughes made it past 5 innings!!!!!
I’m playing lotto.
Derek Jeter April 19, 2012 22:24
GET to your tri-state Ford dealer!
Joe Páwlikowski April 20, 2012 10:54
Nunez is a future MVP.
