Spring Training: 3/9/07 - Devil Rays @ Yankees

[justinvarnes]

Giambi grounds into the shift. 3 down.

4-0 Yanks.

[Tifoso]

Overshift out--dang it

[justinvarnes]

Karstens with another k!

[mitchrock]

Great game so far. Sounds like KArstens is on top of it.

[Tifoso]

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to all off you. You guys are truly my Yankees family, and my friends.

That's all

And no, I am not drunk or high

[justinvarnes]

3-2 count. fouled off.

Strike 3!!

[Tifoso]

He better be: he's taking Carl's spot in the rotation until Rocket arrives.

Rarely do I type this, but: LOL



Baldelli pops to 1st. 3 up 3 down.

[Soriambi]

And no, I am not drunk or high

Are you both?

[Tifoso]

[justinvarnes]

A-Rod lines a shot to short. Diving grab saves a base hit

[Sam18]

Breaking news from the FAN: Pavano+contract traded to Cards for ptbnl.

[Tifoso]

Are you both?

Err...there's only one of me. Are you OK?

[justinvarnes]

Matsui K's.

Posada up. 2 Down

[Tifoso]

Breaking news from the FAN: Pavano+contract traded to Cards for ptbnl.

Cut it out--although I would get the pleasure of having called it.

[The Dynasty]

I'm beginning to ask myself "Why did we sign Igawa?" I think our young guys can match if not be better than the likes of Igawa and Pavano. Just a biased, unsubstantiated opinion.

Please don't joke......

[justinvarnes]

3 down. still 4-0 Yanks.

[Sam18]

Please don't joke......

I sure I was gonna get Lou.

1. They knew Carl was gone

2. They were pretty sure that Phil would be here, but not 100% sure

3. They figured in this market, that they could trade him for a profit should Phil work out

Fair enough, as he is cheap, but our young ML-ready (Karstens, Rasner, etc.) arms are also cheap. I'm just hoping Igawa erases all questions that I have about him.

[justinvarnes]

Crawford K's. 1 Down.

Then Young K's on 3 pitches.

This is Chase Wright pitching, BTW.

[justinvarnes]

3-1 is low. Ty Wigginton walks. 2 down, runner on 1st.

[Soriambi]

As per MLB.com, Pavano's absence has nothing to do with his lawsuit. Just an "unspecified personal issue." He could rejoin the team tomorrow.

Obviously because if it was his lawuit they wouldn't wait till the last minute to announce this.

[Sam18]

Which team?

According to the FAN its the Cards.

[justinvarnes]

3-1 to Norton. Called Strike 2.

3-2. ump yelling back and forth with the Rays dugout.

Swing and a miss. Strike 3. Inning over.

[justinvarnes]

These are the D-Rays, but both Karstens and Wright "sound" sharp.

[Jersey Yankee]

Karstens is pitching for us? I thought it was Pavano pitching tonight.

[Jersey Yankee]

You're on mlb audio? I can't understand why spring games aren't all on the radio.

[justinvarnes]

Cano singles to Center. Melky up.

[justinvarnes]

You're on mlb audio? I can't understand why spring games aren't all on the radio.

I agree, but yes I'm on mlb audio.

For why Karstens started, start at the beginning of this thread. Pavano out for personal reasons...Lou is praying it's a trade. Sam is making us excited...

[justinvarnes]

Cano advances on a wild pitch.

Chopper to 3rd, Cano doesn't advance.

Minky up.

[Jersey Yankee]

Oh, now I'm seeing that Pavano was excused.

[Jersey Yankee]

I agree, but yes I'm on mlb audio.

Thanks. I just woke up not too long ago and finished up w/my emails.

I wish he were traded. Put Karstens or Phil Hughes in his place.

Sam = Sam18?

[justinvarnes]

Mientkiewicz has a 3-0 count.

Takes strike one. 3-1 count.

Takes strike two. 3-2 count.

Ball 4. 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Damon up.

Howell pitching for the Rays.

Sorry, yes: Sam18's FAN reports...

Damon flies to Crawford. 2 Down.

[-tz]

Is Mientkiewicz ever gonna get one of those, what do you call them ... hits?

[Sam18]

Sam is making us excited...

Sam ftw!!

[surge511]

I think Sam might be making that up.. Wouldn't the FAN be broadcasting the Nets game right now?

[justinvarnes]

1-1 to Jeter. Low.

2-1. Fouled off.

2-2. Struck out on a not-so-checked swing.

4-0 in the 4th.

[-tz]

Jeter struck out ... Yanks strand two ...

Still lead 4-0!

[Jersey Yankee]

Sorry, yes: Sam18's FAN reports...

Damon flies to Crawford. 2 Down.

I kinda figured, since everyone knows who Lou is. BTW, I'd edited, so I just "woke" up, not "work" up.

I'm not staying long, but I hope that we can push some more runs over.

[Sam18]

I think Sam might be making that up.. Wouldn't the FAN be broadcasting the Nets game right now?

I was making it up. I thought everyone knew?

[justinvarnes]

Sam ftw!!

ftw?? sorry, I know like LOL and BTW and RBI and OPS and DIPS and ABC...

[justinvarnes]

I was making it up. I thought everyone knew?

Yeah, I knew at least. hence the "making us excited."

[Soriambi]

ftw?? sorry, I know like LOL and BTW and RBI and OPS and DIPS and ABC...

For the win.

[Jersey Yankee]

-tz, he's the 2007 version of Tony Womack. You want hits from him? Go to Kasey Casem if you want hits!!!

[Sam18]

Ok CNN is now reporting that Carl has retired from Baseball and has in fact enlisted in the USMC. Good luck Carl, you're a true American hero.
