| Cashman And Girardi Defend Joba's Fist Pump |
| 2008-05-10 10:57:00 |
I really can't believe people are making such a big deal about this, and that it's still being talked about. Does anyone say a word when Johnathan Papelbon goes nuts on the mound, or when K-Rod does his little dance? Or how about the many other pitchers who show the same type of excitement on the mound, does anyone complain?I remember a game against the Tigers in '06 or maybe it was last year when every single guy out of the pen pumped their fist all the way into the dugout. Two weeks ago agains...

| 2008-05-09 23:01:00 |
If you didn't see it in my game summary, Jonathan Alabaladejo is headed to the DL after leaving tonight's game with an arm injury.From MLB.com:Albaladejo was lifted in the sixth inning after he felt pain similar to a needle in the bone part of his right elbow. An initial diagnosis taken at Comerica Park revealed an elbow strain or sprain, but the Yankees will send Albaladejo to New York on Monday for an MRI and more conclusive tests."I know that I had a chance to stay for pretty much the whole y...

From SI.com: NEW YORK (AP) -- Major League Baseball has cut Kyle Farnsworth's suspension from three games to one following an appeal by the New York Yankees reliever. Farnsworth will serve the suspension tonight, according to baseball spokesman Rich Levin.Well that's certainly an improvement over the original 3 game suspension, but I still don't think he should have been suspended at all.

| 2008-05-08 17:41:00 |
I don't listen to them anymore because quite frankly, they give me a headache. But apparently they were getting on Joba's case for today's fist pump, and not only that, but they also for having the towel over his head and pulling his hair out on Tuesday after he gave up that HR to Dellucci, saying he should just “stare out on the field.”Are these two guys serious? Have they even played a sport in their lives? Don't they understand how emotional sports can get? You would hope that with severa...
