Roger Clemens will not face the Red Sox at Fenway Park this weekend. Joe Torre said he won't firm up a date for Clemens to make his first start for the Yankees, though it is likely to be Monday in Chicago, until he speaks to Clemens personally. They had missed one another at the time Torre talked to us. But there is no reason to move Andy Pettitte (pitching tonight, has a 2.66 season ERA) back right now. As great as Clemens may be, this will be his first major league start of the season and Pettitte is already pitching excellently.
The Yankees will wait until after Tyler Clippard pitches tomorrow to decide if he or Matt DeSalvo will remain in the rotation, though it's more likely to be Clippard. They also don't know yet whether the other might remain in the bullpen or if they might make another move and add another reliever when Clemens comes. Chris Britton is pitching well at Triple-A and could be an option.
Jason Giambi is likely to get a cortisone shot in his left foot Thursday morning. That might keep him out of Friday's game and might not.
Scott Proctor's stomach bug is better. He could pitch tonight.
Forgot to mention yesterday, but Reggie Jackson is on this series. Asked why, he said: "Trouble." The team's in trouble, and if he can do something, he wants to.

lets hope for the best tonight, and that tonight is the start of something very, very good.
however, if game does not go in yanks favor, listen to how many times these following words are spoken in YES pre-game, in-game, and post-game commentary:
frustrated
win streak
umpire
kid pitched great
poor relief
turn things around
miguel
add:
we're better than this
we need to start winning
i won't say it's panic time
we can still do it
we don't quit
How about:
Abreu is just awful.
Oh no, they are bringing in Vizcaino.
Wake up, Torre.
Another good start by Pettite wasted.
How do you get caught looking with the tying runs on base?
This is a long season!
HAHAHAAHAHA
WAS THAT GIAMBI!!! OR GRADY SIZEMORE!!
PS.
I just got a STOLEN BASE in BBB fantasy baseball...
Sorry bomber
To all of my former subjects:
The Baumbach Dynasty is over. You must learn to move on.
Pitcher overpaid by many millions of dollars...fastball that tops out at 91 mph... mediocre stuff...spotty location...unable to throw complete games...working in minors so he can eventually help the big club...Who knew Kei Igawa would be reincarnated as Roger Clemens?
I was hoping Reggie would say he's going to take over for Abreu. He couldn't do much worse. My mistake!
How about some updates and inside info on our Yankees.
I saw in another blog that it looks like Hughes won't return until July at the earliest!
Why can't I find that info here?
The Yankee bats are off to another stellar start against another nobody. Same sh?t different day.
That was a nice double play.
3rd inning. dominated again by a triple A pitcher.
From a personnel standpoint, what is the difference between the 06 Yankees and the 07 Yankees?
IN - Pettite, Minky, Phelps (doesn't play), Vizcaino
am I forgetting anyone of significance?
OUT - Unit, Sheff (was injured all of last year), Who am I forgetting?
The differences in personnel seem minute, so how come the difference in performance...> Torre is dead weight. I appreciate what he did for our franchise, but he is being tuned out. He clearly misses the Zim magic.
You should watch this kid killing the mets right now.
He can't be a day over 16 and not a pound over 150
and he's gassing THE BEST TEAM IN NEW YORK
I'm sure all the players geuninely like Torre, but I believe they have tuned him out. The clubhouse needs another voice.
The bats are so dead it isn't even funny.
gitmo,
1) the 06 yanks were not a success, they lost ot the tigers playing with the same spirit they are showing nowadays.
2) abreu is cancer and should be removed. damon & giambi are a year older and even more broken down.
3) the pitching is as consistent as it was last year. however, thanks to cashman, 2/5 of the rotation was supposed to be igawa and pavano.
The 06 Yankees weren't a success when success=World Series, and I'll grant you that they went out with a whimper, however, this years Yankees bear no resemblance to last years. They go out there as if the game is lost before it begins now.
What is Cano swinging at? This is un-believable!
They take too many good pitches to hit and swing at garbage.
Getting 2 hit thru 5! Andy's pitching another gem.
You really have to feel bad for the guy!!!
If anyone cares Igawa is getting shellacked tonight at SWB
Can we get a posting fee to send him back to Japan :)
Tell Igawa he can stay in the minors.
Did Cashman really think he could get away with Pavano and Igawa in the back-end of our rotation?
Should've signed Lilly.
Ruse,
I don't care about that guy any longer. He's hopeless.
What I do care about is Andy pitching great and we're losing.
Gitmo,
We should pay Japan to take him back!
Who's Pavano?
He's a meatball.
And a bad one at that!
Is she the one who was our opening day starter?
Sorry...
Didn't mean to disparage women like that.
Damon is WEARING ROCKPORTS
PHUCKER
Are you sure ? I thought those were Tom McCanns
A-Rod looks sick at the plate.
Watching these Yankee hitters reminds me of the Bugs Bunny cartoon. You know the one. He stikes out 3 guys with one pitch.
It looks like the Yankees have some kind of "Ball repellent" ointment on their bats.
I heard tomorrow night is "Play for the Yankees Night" at the stadium. The first 25 fans suit up and play that nights game for the team. It might be a recurring event.
do you people know what "ROCKPORTS" are?
Gitmo,
I'm flying to NY on June 13th. I have tickets for the game against the D'backs on the 14th. I think that I'm going to bring my glove and ask for a tryout.
John,
Hold out for more money... We're desperate.
They are very prevalent in florida...
Does that tell the story?
PHUCKER
You mean like Birkenstocks?
They go great with the early bird buffet at IHOP, in fact I believe if you show up wearing them you receive some kinda discount?
Phucker,
Old man's dress shoes.
Gitmo,
I intend to.
Andy's pitching great!!!
PHUCKER
Animal,plant or mineral ?
RUSE
ROCKPORTS = AARP
THEY ARE NOTORIOUS SENIOR CITIZEN FOOTWEAR
Kat
I can't confirm the Rockports but if you can please do I'm very concerned.
That's a run, baby!
PHUCKER
LMAO.I know what they are !
Downs has walked 13 in 19 innings - that's our opening.
hey phucker!
not all of us were rockports! some of us were dr scholl's!!!
Abreu sucks.Has this guy hit the ball out of the infield? Either he strikes out or grounds out to the right side of the infield.
Ruse,
he flyed out earlier. I don't remember what inning.
I guess that he didn't like my suggestion.
Amazing stuff we get to watch on a daily basis. Markum is shutting the Yankees down. He will make the Hall of Fame. Just like Horacio (The Horrible) Ramirez, Julian (i sucked wherever else i pitched)Tavarez, and last nights great starter McGowen the Great. Let's be serious. Could someone get fired for this? Can they take Long and fire his ass. Please do something. This is such BS. This team is lifeless and stupid at the same time. A-Rod swings at every first pitch like its going to be a fastball. Hey stupid other teams know you are the only threat. They are going to be careful with you. Let you chase. Maybe throw one close pitch. Of course you will chase. As far as Murders Row. Abreu, Manketievc (he's terrible so who cares about his name) and the great Robby Cano. He should change his name to I Robbed you Cano. This guy is another undisciplined hitter. Let's see who is killing this lineup. Ok here we go. Damon, Matsui, Giambi, Abreu, Manke(who gives a crap), Cano. That leaves Jeter, Posada and A-Rod(Only because of his numbers in April) This is the main reason why they blow. They are eating sawdust in their hands. They make no adjustments. Please George start with the hitting coach. And then fire Torre after the season let him suffer. Do Cashmen now. Get someone to oversee the organization right now. This is beyond important. The draft is in June. And the trade deadline is in July. Please enough of this crap. I can't even watch it anymore. No more BS from the fans. This season is done. And i can't take it anymore. Somebody has to go and get Long out of here. And a footnote. Send down Cabrera. Sign Bernie. Release Phelps and bring up Duncan. Let Manket( i suck) caddy for him. Enought already!! Do something!!!
I'm going home.
It's 6pm.
Mike
LMAO!!!
WOW
wow... just when you thought it couldn't get any worse... stealing home... oh well...
Rock bottom.
What a joke this team is.
Bad D by AROD on an easy DP costs the Yanks.
Abreu
3 ground outs to 1st
1 SO
You'd think this was game 7!!!
Atleast now they look alive. (some of them)
It's very sad at the same time though.
They're killing themselves to beat the Blue Jays? I'll hold my scrutiny for atleast the next 20mins.
Torre' bringing Proctor in .Duck and cover !
Did Torre really think Proctor was going to get SO? Sac Fly
when was the last time they held a lead for a full inning?
I think we need Bob Ueker to make fun of this horrible garbage team. It worked in a movie.
PHUCKER
I can just hear Ueckers voice"cut on and missed"
Phuck,
Not only do I know what
"Rockports" are...I live about 30 miles from where they originated.....Rockport, Maine.
