Again??
It seems wrong referring to him as a "former" Yankee but there it is.
The man is obviously still a god in Japan.
Los Angeles Angels' Hideki Matsui visits a factory of Japanese construction and mining equipment manufacturer Komatsu in Hiratsuka, Japan, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2010. World Series MVP Matsui likes the idea of games between the World Series and Japan Series champions even though he may be retired by the time such a matchup takes place. Matsui made the comments during his promotional visit to the factory.

Nice article in the New York Times by Chad Moeller about pitchers he's caught in his career, including Mariano and a few former Yankees:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/sp...28moeller.html
some other minor updates of 2009 Yankees:
-Jose Molina is now on the Blue Jays
-Freddy Guzman signed minor league deal with Phillies
-Xavier Nady signed with Cubs
-Wang signed with Nationals
The real reason why the Yankees keep winning is cause the other team can't stop staring at the damn pinstripes
Melky singles in his first AB... never should have gotten rid of this guy. Nice job, Cashman.
Now let's see what Hinske can do.

Reigning, Defending, 27-Time World Champions
GOD BLESS AMERICA
Hinske also gets on base 1st AB of 1st official unofficial game of 2010

Seriously?
Melky would have been fine as the 4th OF

I'd rather have Vazquez.
I guess that settles it.

Two weeks ago, one of the Tigers' biggest questions was whether Austin Jackson will hit in the Major Leagues. Spring Training might not provide a true answer, but so far, he's pounding the Grapefruit League.
Nobody in the Florida half of Spring Training has as many base hits so far this spring as Jackson. Granted, he has the advantage of having more at-bats than anyone this spring, having his leadoff most of the spring for the Tigers, but he's also batting .429 (.515 OBP). Just as impressive to many, he's doing it while posting more walks (5) than strikeouts (4).
lol @ 5 walks and 4 strikeouts.

Congrats to Miggy. I always liked him.
Where is Damon?
Let the kids play.
Matt??
Melky is now leading off for Atlanta...oh yeah he also went 0-5.....
Ajax and Damon handed it to the Royals today. And Phil Coke looks scruffy and fat.

Matsui helped the Angels win their opening day game by hitting a HR. We could have used him Sunday.

I stayed up late just to see him in his first game since leaving. I will never get used to Matsui in a uniform other than NY. Loved the "MATSUILAND" sign in the stands. I hope they realize how lucky they are to have him.Matsui helped the Angels win their opening day game by hitting a HR. We could have used him Sunday.

They do. One of my co-workers greeted me this morning by saying, "Thanks for the DH!"
The NY Times just published this article about him. (And the reporter spoke to the Matsuiland guy!). http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/sp...xkP9g5sFWwrN5w

That's cool - thanks for the link and tell your co-worker, "You're welcome."

If you happen to work near 38th and 8th, and enjoy japanese curry, rest assured that Go Go Curry continues to offer one free topping every day following a Matsui home run.
Although I'm not a fan of curry -- that's freakin' awesome!
238 more runs to score 1000.
2010 GT record: 8-5 (including two near no-hitters)
Jose Veras gave up 3 runs to the Mets in the 8th to allow them to tie the game. Not surprisingly, he also had 2 walks in that inning. Classic Veras.

Apparently Jose Tabata is 24 or 25 years old and is playing in AA.

Carl Pavano currently shutting out the Angels in the sixth. I can't decide whether I'm happier that the Angels are getting shut out or annoyed that it's Pavano that's doing it. At least Matsui is 3-for-3 with a double.
Likes the Yankees.
Austin Jackson went 2-5 with a triple, and 2 Ks.
Kennedy in his season debut, 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 8 Ks.
Still glad we have Granderson, especially after today
I watched Kennedy last night. I still think he is going to be a very good MLB pitcher. He had an amazing changeup and was juuuust missing with his fastball.
Lead the way, Mr. Girardi.
Glass Ass is now 1-0.

I think Jackson and Kennedy will both be good players, but I also think Granderson is going to hit 40HRs as a Yankee and be a top 3-5 center fielder in baseball.Austin Jackson went 2-5 with a triple, and 2 Ks.
Kennedy in his season debut, 5 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 8 Ks.

No such thing as a free lunch, have to give up something to get that good a center fielder...and we did.
Agree. It's nice when you can get Bobby Abreu for nothing but, realistically, that rarely happens. For the most part, I think only the studs in the system are going to be kept long-term, and a lot of the guys are going to be used in trades.

So Matsui is slated to play in the OF tonight. Hahahaha, wow.

Oh God, I don't know if I want to watch that or not...
Javy Vazquez's 2010 non-Cy Young season: 4-10, 7.15 ERA, 140 Ks, 170 IP.
I kind of want to watch it for the doubtless laughs. But at the same time, his knees will probably explode and that will be really really sad.
Likes the Yankees.

Who wouldn't want a career .330 OBP guy leading off?

Alex Cora (of the .313 OBP) says hi.
