I wonder which knee it is. Or, maybe everytime you ask him, he points to a different one. Did his knee all of a sudden feel bad after Tito sent the lineup out for Globe, etc. publication? I'm personally getting tired of him. And, get a *@*^*%& haircut!
Fisk Mojo!
Win it for Manny's knee!

Are you a closet Yankee fan or something? That's bad mojo. Haircuts are for the third place fashion plates from New York.
Gosh, I hope the Fisk finger offset your bad mojo.
Maim. Destroy. Vanquish. Kill.

Closet Yankee fan, yeah, right, for over half a century. His hair almost looks long enough to get his bat tangled up in it, or to fly across his face when he's running for a flyball. Enough is enough. In the Angels series, he made Vlad look like an Exeter Academy student. Well, exaggeration, but what's the point of an "athlete" having hair down to the middle of his back?
I don't care one bit if he cuts it, but Malzone's point about it flying in his face while chasing a fly ball is valid. I'd be happy if he just tied it back.
Great, Ortiz comes back and Manny takes his annual late July vacation. ****ing typical.

Maybe Manny will pull a Paul Pierce and limp in there in the seventh and get the game winning hit. Maybe not. I wonder if he's feeling it's not going well re the Sox picking him up for next year and he's starting his pouting.

I'm thinking we need a little Muddy Waters to turn this around.
I don't follow the Yankees, so could someone tell me where is Posada?

He's out with an injured shoulder, and will likely be out all season.
Sweep these bastards. The panic by the Steinbrenners would be epic
time to vanquish the scum, the lowest of the low, the foulest of the foul

edit:Damn. Papi K's, but Jeter misses the tag

It's you. This isn't the "swing at everything" Mariners he's facing.
does anyone else have the unfortunate circumstance of having to listen to mfy commentators or is it just us poor sox fans downunder
Too Many Pitches Josh.
Manny out of the ball park already, off to have an MRI on the knee.
Geez, it'd be a huge shock to see Varitek go down swinging on three straight pitches.......if it weren't happening so f--king often.
How hard was the play that the run scored on? I can only follow through ESPN Gamecast

Would have been a routine ground ball to the SS if the shift wasn't on... but easily out reach with it on.
I'm dead serious when I ask, can the Yankees be stopped? Their BP has been damn good and their SP isn't all that shabby. Some timly hitting and their always going to be in postion to win. I know it's only the first game and this one is only 1-0 MFY for the moment, but the Yankees look really solid. Maybe if Beckett pitched this year like he was traded for Hanley...
I love Melky.
Edit: Not trying to place blame on Beckett. DiceK only going 5IP a start doesn't help, nor does Buchholz having an ERA of 6. This BP outside of Papelbon has sucked and the 7-8-9-1 hitters have been garbage.

The above post makes me laugh.
The Yankees just traded for Damaso Marte and Xavier Nady.
EDIT: Apparently they gave up Jose Tabata, Ross Ohlendorf, Phil Coke, and another minor leaguer.

very nice break for papi
That ump came close to screwing over Mike Lowell and the Red Sox.
This offense needs to get it together - the fat bastard is pitching pretty well though, so tonight might not be our night.
Anyone know what Manny's status is - this knee thing a legit problem or just some rest?

Big out right there. Bats, bats, bats.
Casey for one of the bottom-of-the-order stiffs in the late innings?
Geez, where is everyone? I'd expect more activity on here for a MFY game. The site seems to be dying.

Beckett looks really solid tonight and the one run was bullshit anyway since he struck out Cano on a curveball the pitch before his single. I think we will be scoring some runs soon! This is a good chance! Get on base Ellsbury!!
Ellsbury gets on base less often than I get laid.

I didn't think Ellsbury was THAT bad
So if Ellsbury moves from leadoff to 9th in the order he may go from 5 PA's a game to 3... thanks for that bit of info Jerry. Care to explain how he'd lose 2 PA's a game though?

Haha I didn't even think about that but thats true. HAHAHA! Maybe I'm just too used to Jerry saying dumb things throughout the game.

I assume he meant he'd go from getting 5 PAs in some games to getting only 3 in some games. Obviously, a 5-PA game doesn't become a 3-PA game because he's lower in the order.
F YOU JOBA!!!!! I HOPE YOU F'ING DIE A LONG SLOW PAINFUL DEATH!!!!!
Why wasnt that called a strike?
Nevermind, it was.
Nevermind, it was.
I hate Joba so so so so much! I hate him!! I wanna see him get his ass kicked up and down this park!
This punk is definitely in Youks' head. He had no chance on that last pitch.Very discouraging. The punk is strutting around out there.
Normally I would totally agree with Remy about the pitch to Youk being unintentional. But he is totally wrong here. Joba is cruising through our lineup, and he probably feels invincible right now. There is no doubt in my mind that pitch was intentional. I don't care if it is a 1-0 game.
