Gary Sheffield June 14, 2012 08:42

Whoopsy: Pedro Feliciano, Michael Pineda, Carl Pavano, A.J. Burnett, Kai Igawa
Next Year June 14, 2012 08:51
What about me?
It is like people think Pineda died. He will be back. He will still be good, young and cheap.
Ritardi June 14, 2012 13:28
If you think Pineda will be half of what he was after this surgery, you are dumber than I am.
Next Year June 14, 2012 16:04
No reason at all that he can’t be better.
You dingbat fools aren’t Yankee fans. You are Montero fans. Move to Seattle.
No reason June 14, 2012 17:14
Other than major shoulder surgery that has ended a number of pitchers careers that is.
I am a Yankee fan that prefers we not dump our best hitting prospects for lottery tickets that have pitched well for 3 months in the majors.
Next Year June 14, 2012 18:53
You don’t know what you are talking about. He was one of the most highly regarded young pitchers in the majors. It was an excellent trade.
Give it a few years. Pineda will be a key starter on a championship level team. Montero will be a DH on a last place team. Our DHs will be people like Jeter and ARod.
Matzo June 15, 2012 16:01
I want to see you go on when Montero is 30-100 the next decade. Not like this aging lineup can’t use some RH power right??
Prophet Muhammad June 17, 2012 11:06
Helpful article on labrum surgeries and Pineda’s outlook:
http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=16634
Bottom line: The history of pitchers recovering from labrum injuries suggests the Yankees are at a disadvantage, but they’re not totally doomed…YET
20-20 Hindsight June 19, 2012 12:03
I knew he would need surgery. Cashman and Rothschild and the rest of the Yankee power structure should also have known that.
Mike Minor June 14, 2012 05:16
I got Sandusky-ed.
Barry Soweto June 14, 2012 07:06
That is so dull!
Brian S. June 15, 2012 15:57
I’m dull. Want to tickle?
SnatchCatch June 14, 2012 07:22
It’s hard to believe someone conceived this play on a tired joke, wrote copy for it, did some amateur Photoshopping, and posted it on a website for the whole world to shrug at. And then NoMaas actually tweets a link to it like it’s something witty. What a sad state of affairs.
Haterade June 14, 2012 07:52
Yeah!
Please June 14, 2012 07:54
Direct me to your competing website, SnatchCatch.
Big Spike June 14, 2012 12:11
Don’t be too hard on the snatch. He has a congenital birth defect.
He was born without a sense of humor, poor misfit.
Benny Ka Back June 14, 2012 16:42
I was born with a micropenis. Just like my daddy.
Ben Ka bak's Dad June 15, 2012 15:59
It is true. My son is a freak.
Mike Lupica June 14, 2012 07:32
There’s a team in New York that doesn’t have any nicknames, doesn’t need any nicknames and doesn’t want any nicknames. That team is the Mets. The make you watch not because of the name on the jersey, but because of their play. No glory boys on this squad, just good ol fashioned ball players. the guys with the $200 million dollar payroll could learn from these guys. they could learn alot. Their manager short gruff, long on guts. They make Citi filed the place you want to go to. Bobby V has that type of team too. Bobby V’s crew will let the Yanks know soon, that they are in a fight.
Overkill June 14, 2012 08:48
I have made an appearance officially now. Maybe every few days or when something significant happens.
The Truth June 14, 2012 09:04
Not needed you can never have enough dumb Lupica references. Now Francessa, that would be overkill.
Cup O' Joe Flacco June 15, 2012 01:25
How about me? Is my act growing tired yet?
Greggggggg Easterbrook June 14, 2012 10:25
Did someone say “glory boys”???

Next year is always a year away.
Give me today any and every day.
This Year June 15, 2012 05:54
This Year: Yankees without fat assed DH Montero – First Place.
False God June 15, 2012 09:29
Without Mariano either. Might want to rethink his hall of fame career since we are winning without him.
Next Year June 15, 2012 12:54
Nonsense.
One has been a major contributor to many Yankee titles.
The other is a kid who the Yankees never really liked, tried to trade once, traded when something else came along, but for some bizarre reason still has a jock where many Yankee fans reside. It is one of the weirdest things that I have seen as a Yankee fan.
Junk kicker June 15, 2012 13:15
Guy comes in when the win % is 90%+ and all of a sudden he’s the reason they’re winning. Hogwash. Give me an above average regular over HOF Mo any day of the week.
Peepee Hands June 15, 2012 13:28
Best of the Year, so far!
Joe Páwlikowski June 15, 2012 15:53
His name for me is “Bottom slut”
Talk dirty, Joe.
Joeybagonuts June 15, 2012 18:06
Cano= “Lazy”
Cervelli = “Pretty”
&
Swisher = “Dummy”
