Tabby, you better smarten up!



Jose Tabata, wtf is wrong with you? Seriously? You have 5 tool talent and can be a future cornerstone in the yankee outfield for years to come, yet you are acting like a punk!!!

May 29th - Tabata's benching was directly related to a play in which Austin Jackson dove for a fly ball, and Tabata failed to back him up as the ball rolled past Jackson and the runner got all the way to third. Tabata was expelled from the dugout.

April 26th - Suspended three games by the Yankees for leaving Waterfront Park following a strikeout that dropped his batting average below .200

Just a heads up....




The last time I went to a game at Shea was 18 years ago, and I vowed never to go again until Citi Field opens next year.

BUT

If Maz becomes the manager of the New York Metropolitans, I will have no choice but to root for them.

Just letting you know in advance...........

Would you hit it for a yankees world title?



SKANK!!!

See you in 2012



Carmen Angelini - Shortstop of the future

Senior year of HS - 40 Games Played

.443 Avg
14 Doubles
8 Triples
6 Dongs
52 rbi
38 Stolen Bases

Gatorade Louisiana Player of the Year

Louisville Slugger/National High School Baseball Coaches Association Louisiana Player of the Year

All Southwest Louisiana Big School Player of the Year

Louisiana’s Mr. Baseball

Louisiana’s Class 5A MVP

Louisiana’s All-State Baseball First Team

Louisville Slugger First-Team All American

EA Sports Second-Team All American

Outlook: Angelini adds some much-needed depth at shortstop due to Derek Jeter’s decline. When Jeter is not able to play for the Yankees anymore, Angelini is his successor. Angelini’s raw power is coming along already, and he is a very polished player. He should be a quick riser for a HS prospect.

More Laura..........I just cant stop

Joker



May 6th 2007. I remember this day vividly. I was lining up for my second shot on the 12th hole at E. Gaynor Brennan Golf Course in Stamford, CT when a golfer who was driving his cart to the 13th tee box shouted at my group "ROGER CLEMENS JUST SIGNED WITH THE YANKEES!!" I was so fired up when I heard this news....the rocket was going to save our season!!!

"Thank y'all. Well they came and got me out of Texas, and uhh, I can tell you its a privilege to be back. I'll be talkin' to y'all soon"

The yanks threw a pro-rated salary of $28,000,022 at him or about $4.5 million per month.

I was at his first start against the Pirates on Saturday June 9th "the rocket re-launch". He rewarded us by throwing 6 strong innings striking out seven. I remember being pretty fired up as they played Elton John's "Rocketman" as he walked off the field to a standing ovation and Jeter gave him a leaping "high five"

That should be my lasting image of the Rocket but he turned out to be a real piece of SH*T. Thank you for SHATTERING my hopes and dreams Roger. I used to think you were the bomb. Boy was I wrong.

SWOOOOSH!



Nike and the New York Yankees have agreed in principle to a five-year sponsorship agreement that will begin in 2009, the team’s first in the new Yankee Stadium.

The cash and product deal ends a historic 11-year relationship between Adidas and the Yankees that remains one of Adidas’ biggest U.S. sports marketing expenditures…

But with the deal ending, sources said that the Yankees originally tried to sell Nike a signage package, but that Nike was more interested in other rights. Consequently, Nike’s deal with the Yankees is short on branding and long on marketing. Nike will be able to increase the amount of team apparel it already sells as an MLB licensee and it will have a store-within-store shop at the new stadium. It will also run local marketing campaigns, grassroots initiatives, and outfit Yankee coaches and minor leaguers with cleats and other performance wear.

Thanks for NOTHING Drew!

What color do you get when you cross Yankees Blue with Michigan Blue? July 27, 1998



Drew Henson's mother said blue must be her son's color.

The incoming Michigan freshman will wear two hats, or caps, this year, having signed a four-year contract with the New York Yankees early Friday. Henson will be fighting for the starting quarterback spot with the Wolverines in the fall as well.

After a summer of negotiations, the three-sport star from Brighton High School suited up for his first game Friday in Yankee attire, which he will soon trade for a Michigan football jersey.

"It's nice to look in the mirror and see the stripes on your legs and the 'NY' on your shoulder," Henson said, adding that the significance of signing a pro contract hasn't really sunk in yet.

But professional baseball - even at the Rookie League level - quickly taught him a lesson this weekend, throwing him a curve ball early in his career. He went 1-for-3 in Friday's game and 0-for-5 Saturday against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays of the Gulf Coast league - a game Henson could have won for his team.

The Yankees were losing 3-2 in the bottom of the 10th with two outs and two men on base as Henson stepped up to the plate. With his family, his team and cameras looking on, Henson struck out. Without flinching, his father Dan looked down and uttered, "Welcome to pro baseball."

"It's just like any other summer team," Henson said. "But between the lines they just play at a higher level."

And Henson won't have much time to adjust to the pros since he's scheduled to report to Michigan for football practice Aug. 10.

Yankees owner "Mr. (George) Steinbrenner told him that he can't think of a better combination - Yankees for baseball, Michigan for football," Henson's mother Carol said. "What other team would you want to play with?"

By signing with a professional team, Henson must give up his football scholarship.

Throughout high school, Henson's athletic ability earned him awards and accolades but also elicited a storm of questions, as coaches, scouts and the public continuously asked him to choose a sport, Carol Henson said.

Back then, he avoided the pressure by concentrating and training for the task at hand, but Carol Henson worries that the outside pressure will grow stronger.

"There's greater expectation from the outside," she said. "It's really the biggest question now. That's why he has to do this - so he'll know."

During his junior year at Brighton, Henson announced his intent to play for Michigan, without making other recruiting trips or feeling the need to be "wined and dined" by other universities, Carol Henson said.

But he didn't commit himself to baseball or football.

"At the right time, he'll decide and not look back," she said.

Henson said for now he is getting the best of both worlds. Well, he will soon learn about one of them. The newest Yankee will learn the joys of dorm life and cafeteria food as he moves into East Quad today for new student orientation.

"A lot of things I'm going through, most kids have never had the chance to do," Henson said. "I try to remember that and be grateful. Most kids are worrying about their roommates, classes and orientation. I don't have a chance to worry about those."

He's too busy thinking about juggling the lives of college student, football quarterback and professional baseball player.

Between games in Tampa this weekend, Henson divided his time between sitting at the beach with his family and posing for Sports Illustrated.

The Yankees are hoping they can lure Henson away from football and college life in the next few years by taking him to a World Series game and letting him play with the major leaguers, so he can "learn what it is like to be a Yankee," Yankees Vice President Mark Newman said.

"We're not going to pressure him," Newman said. "We hope ultimately he is going to be a baseball player. When he commits himself completely he will move to the big leagues very quickly."

Yankee veteran Chili Davis, who had been taking batting practice with Henson at the Yankees training center in Tampa, said eventually Henson will have to make a choice, but he can't blame Henson for wanting to do both.

"It's going to be tough trying to juggle both sports," Davis said. "Deion (Sanders) did it. Bo (Jackson) did it. There's no reason he can't do it."


The Henson Deal
What: A five-year deal to play professional baseball in the New York Yankees organization.

When: Henson will play summer ball with the Yankees when he's not attending classes at Michigan.

How much: Minor-league base salary plus a $4.5 million signing bonus - $2 million up front and another $2.5 million upon his Michigan graduation if he commits to baseball.

How: Although he is a professional athlete, the NCAA allows a student to be a professional in one sport and maintain amateur status in another. This allows Henson to keep his football eligibility. He forfeits his NCAA baseball eligibility, though.

Thanks Tom O'Toole for sending this!



New York University held their graduation ceremony at Yankee Stadium because of construction conflicts at the usual location of Washington Square Park. The graduates were given one strict guideline - DO NOT GO ONTO THE FIELD.

For one young man, that was merely a yield sign and not a stop sign.

William Lopez of Manhasset, Long Island, jumped over the right field wall and dashed around the bases. Turning third, donned in his blue graduation gown, Lopez was nailed by the cutoff men -- NYPD Cops.

"I was trying to make it to home plate. I wanted to do a head-first dive. I almost made it, only 10 feet to go."

Check out the hilarious video above.

Lopez was told by the NYPD that he had ruined graduation. As you'll notice from the video, that was hardly the case.

'Are you kidding me? The crowd was cheering me on.' "

To top is all off, young Lopez even impressed his parents.

Lopez's father, Bob Lopez, said when he saw the figure running on the field, "My wife asked, 'Could that be William?' I said, 'No. That kid's an athlete."

Here's to William Lopez jumping into the real world with all the enthusiasm necessary to make something of himself and also, here's to the NYPD for demonstrating to the Yankees how to successfully stop visitors from reaching home plate.

Mark Melancon

Now that IPK has officially dicked me, I guess I need to ride with someone else.

Mark Melancon was just called up to Double A Trenton and threw two innings last night. He throws gas and could be the answer in the 8th inning along with JB Cox when Joba becomes a starter.



Age: 23 (March 28, 1985)
Position:P Throws: Right
Ht/Wt: 6'2" 210 lbs
From: Wheat Ridge CO USA



Expected to be an early round pick back in 2006, Mark Melancon slipped down to the Yankees in the 9th round that year due to injury concerns. Succumbing to Tommy John surgery after just six professional appearances with the Staten Island Yankees that same year, the former University of Arizona closer has worked his way back and some insiders believe he could have a 'Joba-like' year in 2008.

I put him in his yankee outfit, grabbed a beer and sat on the couch only to watch you get absolutely SHELLED in three innings! How the yankees are paying you 46 MILLION dollars completely baffles me! You are one of the biggest jokers alive.

Thanks Again you piece of Sh*t!

Good Job IPK!



"I woke up today and told my wife, 'I have a feeling I'm just going to make these guys look stupid,'" said Kennedy, laughing. "I'm trying to say it humbly, it doesn't matter.

"I'm happy to get the first win of the year out of the way, hopefully there's many more to come. It feels really good to get the first win, though."

Luke Noah Newman's First Game. 5/3/08



I miss you L-Bow...........and so does Cano!!!



I have hated Bobby Meachem since I was 10 years old and always will. My dad took me to a game when I was a kid and we had box seats right near the tarp in right field. We got there really early and were watching the players warm up. I was about 5 feet away from Meachem who was having a catch with Dave Winfield. I asked Bobby Meachem about 50 times for an autograph of my "Sticker Book" and that piece of trash didn't even aknowledge my existence. Looking back at it today, why the hell would I even want an autograph from a career .236 hitter?

I was at the game on sat and watched Meachem coach third. I put him up there as one of the worst 3rd base coaches I have ever seen with the likes of Luis Sojo and Dale Sveum. He held Jeter at third on a base hit with two outs that he would have scored on even if he jogged to home plate. The next batter flied out ending the inning. Good thing they had a 5 run lead.

L-Bow is regarded as the best 3rd base coach in all of Baseball and has worked wonders with Robbie Cano on defense and always kept him sharp mentally. Meachem, you haven't showed me anything yet......TIME TO STEP UP AND EARN YOUR PINSTRIPES THAT YOU NEVER EARNED WHEN YOU WERE A PLAYER!!!!!
