Starts by rookie pitchers (that's a lot of games)due to injuries in the earlier part of the season, and being 14.5 games out of first place twice, not once , but twice this season, the Yankees are in the post season and it was a great time watching them come back from a pretty far ways back and especially after that idiot Steve Philips and most of the media wrote them off for dead before and after the all star break. Just a month ago Philips said they were done-lol
bring it home guys, I bleed pinstripes baby, since 1970. I go as that team goes. and tonite was very satisfying.
way to go boys!!! Kick some ass now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring it home, keep the bats warm.
Since Sully won't take my calls anymore-here's what I sent to him a couple of days ago-
Since you will not call me back, I’m sending “MY” 25 man postseason roster according to the guy who’s always correct, me-lol
If I was managing, here’s my Pitching rotation.
If the 1st round is at home for 2 first I go
1-Wang
2-Pettitte
If 1st 2 on the road I go-
1-Clemens
2-Pettitte
3-Wang at home
4-Mussina (on a short leash) with Kennedy and Hughes for eating up innings if he does not pitch well, but he has his last 3 times out thank God.
Full pitching roster-
1-Pettitte-Best Game 2 Stopper of the bleeding or losing streaks, had a great year, should have won 24 games, for real. No run support this year.
2-Wang –Stronger pitcher at home than on the road. Went through the 7th with beckett-tied 1-1 until the implosion at the phones, I mean Fens-lol
3-Clemens-Hopefully his elbow and head won’t fall off.
4-Moose-Last 3 have shown the old Moose we know, but he’s on a short leash right now with “ME”-lol
5-Kennedy-high hopes he is a possible # 2 or # 3 starter for the Yankees. He’s unbelieveable so far.
6-Hughes- have very high hopes this kid becomes a great pitcher. He’s pitched well, you can’t judge a guy who’s 21 until he’s had 50 starts.(AL East no picnic)
7-Chamberlain- been a much needed shot in the arm and energy booster.
8-Rivera- still lurks out in the bullpen like a Panamanian Destruction
9-Edwar Ramirez- I love this kid!!!! Lots of movement on his pitches.
10-Vizcaino –yikes!! Put on chest protector and helmet.
11-Farnsworth-I pray it doesn’t have to get to him.
Do I add a 12th pitcher? I’m undecided today.
Position players- Starting Lineup
12- Damon-LF/DH/CF/RF/ Pinch runner/Pinch hitter
13-Jeter-SS- Another 200 hit plus season, he’s ahead of Pete Rose at his current age by about 8 points in lifetime batting average and by over 86 hits!!!
14-Abreu-RF-Convinced he’s on heroin and Angel Dust mixed together while on the field and at bat.. Great 2nd half.
15-Arod-3B- What can you say? He shut everyone up so far, this postseason will determine his true value, he must produce or they’ll never forgivehim “I”will
16-Matsui-DH/LF/Pinch Hitter
17-Posada-C- Had a ridiculous year, numbers are supposed to be declining , not going up-lol
18-Cano-2B-My favorite Yankee. Fact- Definitely on Heroin and angel Dust at the same time during gametime playing. Strongest arm I’ve seen at 2B ever. Bat from hell.
19-Mientkiewicz- 1B- Glove like I haven’t seen since Mattingly. Bat like I haven’t seen since T-Ball-lol he’s o.k. I guess, can sometimes get a hit actually. got 4 tonite.
20-Cabrera- CF- Got Melk? Best arm, outfielder on the team. Has 14 throw outs at home plate this year, assists whatever you want to call them . I like gunned downs better. Has more combined with putouts at 2nd and 3rd. Arm from the firey depths from hell.
21-Jose Molina -C- great backup catcher.
22-Giambi-DH/ (1B-lol) needs to juice heavily and see the ball hit the bat . Still good for DH and for taking pitchers deep into the count and walking a lot.
23-Shelley Duncan – 1B/RF/DH/PH- lunatic , absolute freak. Not all there, not all here either-lol
24-Betemit-1B/SS/2B/PH/P-Runner,etc.- Not a bad pickup so far although a bust with other clubs .
25-Cairo- for any position. Great platoon player, maybe best in the league. Does not strikeout often. Solid infielder
Honorable mention to- Andy Philips who’s out indefinitely , and I still might add another pitcher, but this is extremely close if we make the playoffs
With what we have on the roster this year. Magic number 2. It ain’t over until it’s over, am celebrating nothing. Game just started, gotta go!!!!!
Tell me what you think.
Miss you dude,
Tommy

My youngest son is a Red Sox fan.... When we lived in KS she didn't mind the Red Sox and really didn't know the Red Sox vs. Yankee rivalry until she moved to MA... and now she can't stand the Red Sox.. and her reason is because of the Red Sox fans on how she gets harassed when she wears her Yankees stuff, especially when my son got harassed on the school bus about it and that's another story.
