A Yankee Thread - 2008 Season

[DisneyGiant]

I was so so sad to hear the news of Bobby's passing.

He had been my favorite broadcaster, and I have been missing hearing his voice in the booth.

I hope Bobby, Thurman and even Mickey are reuniting up there.........

I am glad you had a good time at your game.

I hope they come around after the All Star break too. They have games where I think they are clicking and then games like last night where they look like they have no drive at all.

Hopefully you are treated to a great game on the 20th!! No matter what, there is nothing like a game at Yankee Stadium.

Ugh - today's effort - looked like they just wanted to get the heck out of Dodge!

We so need Damon and Matsui back ....... if we're going to make a run.

Also - Jorge needs to get over his lack of catching time - Molina is clearly better there when there is speed on the bases.......

I couldn't agree more. I read today that Johnny suffered a slight setback. Hopefully, it was just that, slight. He is one of my favorite players.

Posada is another one of my favorites. I really didn't think I would see the day when I would be wishing Molina was in instead of Jorge.

Yeah, I was hoping to see him on Sunday - his first day eligible to be back, but no such luck. They say he "needs more time" but I didn't see any specific timetable.

I read today that Matsui may opt for surgery - I have a very bad feeling that we won't be seeing him back in the lineup until next season.

What do you all think the second half of the Yankee season will be?

Anyone think that Sexson will add that needed spark of offense?

We had a GREAT time at our game Sunday. I do have to say that having a newer ballpark like PNC in the 'Burgh and seeing Yankee Stadium firsthand, I understand now why they didn't think it's possible to renovate the old stadium to make it user-friendly. I know it has a lot of history, but I found the walkways very narrow, the stadium in general difficult to navigate with 55,000+ other people crammed in, the concession selections lacking, and the place looking much more rundown than it appears on tv. However, it was a great honor to be there. Unfortunately though, Monument Park was closed by 11:40a and we never did get to see it but like the tourists we were, DH and I accidentally wandered around the outside of the stadium after the game right over to where the players came out. We got to see Jeter, Damon, A-Rod, Molina, Rivera, Pettite, and Sexton as well as a few others. As far as the game, Yankee fans are far more serious about baseball than Pirate fans. The atmosphere was much more intense than it is at PNC but in a good way. I'm certainly enjoying this winning streak of theirs since the All-Star break. Let's hope they've finally found the formula to put them back on top!

Kathy, So glad you had a great time at your game! I'm bummed you missed Monument Park though.

Can you believe the difference in this team since the All Star break??!! I was hoping Cano was going to come around. He is on fire! Good things!

[kakn7294]

Awesome, isn't it? I am again totally bummed though. I really like Nady and I hate that he's been traded but at least he's still with a team I like. Things are really looking up - the whole team seems to have caught a spark.

Another awesome trade for the Yankees... They are going for it for sure.... Farnsworth is now gone to Detroit for Pudge Rodriguez....

So, we rob the Pirates and get Nady and Marte... Now we raid Detroit and get Pudge... Gotta love the Yankees...

I don't know - these trades don't seem to be working for us!

I seriously think they may not make it to the playoffs this year - they seem to lack the "fire" to get there........

I hope I'm wrong - but I may be paying more attention to Giants football in September......

[Mr. Brass Bonanza]

Oh well.

2009 + New Yankee Stadium = 27th Championship!

Girardi is already sick of his uniform number!
