Good day to be a Yankee

At 1 pm this afternoon Yankees had a catcher heading to surgery. A back up catcher settling in as a starter and Farnsworth (farnsworthless as he was known by Yankees Fans) was the set up man. No one imagined that two positions such as catcher and setup man would be affected by trades. The need is starting pitching, but we have Iak almost here.

No I-Rod in Team

I-Rod (Ivan Rodriguez) was picked up to solidify the catching position and trading Kyle was most likely difficult for Girardi and Boss Cashman. The Yankees believe that I-Rod is a player that will add more to the starting line up. Rodriguez is on the last year of his contract. It was rumored that he was not getting along with his manager and was apparently not getting along with some players on the pitching staff. Rodriguez is still considered one of the best catchers in baseball despite the fact that his bat has slowed down his career numbers are very impressive and he can still be dangerous.

Game

The Yankees spent the last two days playing catch up with the Orioles and were on the verge of getting swept.

Then the team woke up, a bloop and a blast later it was 13 runs. Bobby Abreu was on fire hit two homeruns had 3 RBI on 3 hits. A-Rod also hit a homerun had two hits on two RBI and Xavier Nady had two doubles, two RBI.

The pitching was also important as Joba served as the stopper and Ed Ramirez played the roll of enforcer.

Oh By the way

The Yankees are also praying that the Sox trade Manny to the Marlins or anyone out of Boston. WEEI on the Dale and Holly show had a pole asking Sox fans if Manny should be traded. It was almost 65 % in favor of trading Ramirez.

How Awesome! that would be NY?
