AL East Smack talk 2014

[bksballer89]

4.5 is nothing. That can easily be 2 by the AS break.

Yanks just can't get 7 or 8 back.

CC should be back soon which should help. We need to make some moves though to get a bat/another reliever. Kelley is fucking awful

Yanks need to go at least 5-3 in their next 2 series vs Minny & Cleveland

Yanks already made up 2 games on the Jays. 2.5 behind Toronto & 3 behind Baltimore

What the hell was Melky doing? Just saw the replay

Ladies and gentlemen, Joe West.

Looks like the trade between the Cubs and A's probably messed with the plans of some of the AL East teams looking for pitching at the trading deadline. Although I'm sure Tampa is happy about it since I'm sure that Price's trade value just went up.

He thought he'd throwback to his fielding from last season.

Of course, if 8 RISP hadn't been stranded throughout the game, this never happens anyway.

Shark might even get the start tomorrow. Perfect.

Price for Price was already gonna be high for an AL East team. I could see Oakland flipping Hammel, too. Not sure they needed two starters.

He has the same issue I have, degenerating cartilage in his knee. I need the surgery as well but don't want to be laid up for several months for rehab.

Yeah it seems like CC career is over

Very possible, it doesn't get any better. As it is now I have to go light on the weights when I do legs at the gym. I gave up on squats years ago, too painful.

Keep playing like this and they'll be in 1st for the AS break. Notice the difference when everyone contributes a little on offense? 5+ runs a game and a W.

Back to stinking up the joint on offense again.

1 run through 7 innings

Yep! it's a shame too because Phelps pitched a gem.

1 run through 7 innings

The 7 runs on Thursday and 6 yesterday were scored in a total of 4 innings. Most innings the offense is still not as good as they need to be. As a matter of fact the Yankees did not score after the 2nd inning yesterday, so 1 run in the last 14+ innings.

Pretty impressive

Soriano

 

[navamind]

Lackey got BABIP'd to death by the Orioles. Red Sox defense hasn't helped matters at all today.

 

[HammerDown]

LOL @ the Sox.

 

[molsaniceman]

Yanks get their man

Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that the Yankees have acquired Brandon McCarthy from the Diamondbacks in exchange for Vidal Nuno.

 

[bksballer89]

Nuno is gone.....THANK THE LORD

New York Yankees designate Alfonso Soriano for assignment - ESPN New York

 

[HammerDown]

LOL @ the Yankees paying Soriano $18,000,000 this season. who'd have thought they'd pay a worse salary than Jeter's this season?

Yanks are only paying 5 of the 18 million....Cubs are paying the other 13.
