Has BL given us a list of acceptable players to dislike yet?    Because I'm gonna start some websites.   "Ihate-insert name-.com."

I'll list them for you:












Done.   Now STFU.    You can't say "batting average doesn't matter" in one sentence then talk about a MVP with more strikeouts than hits in the next sentence. 

Batting average does matter and one/two examples of more Ks than hits is irrelevant. 

Batting average doesn't matter much.  As far as hitting is concerned, I'd rather have 2004 Adam Dunn than 2004 Ichiro.

I don't give a **** who you'd rather have.   You started naming MVP winners.    Can you name one who hit .229?

I think you're confusing perceived value with actual value.  There's a really big gap between the two, particularly before the past 15-20 years.

Also, the most recent MVP to hit under .200 was last year.

You brought up MVP award winners not me.    If you want to swap topics, please do. 

And, yeah, haha, good one.   You're so clever.

Yanks drop the third game of the Toronto series, return home and take the first two from the Orioles.

Joe Girardi makes what appeared to be obvious, officially official . . . Andrew Miller is the closer.  He's 13-13 in save opportunities,   In 15.2 IP this season, he's allowed only 3 hits and no runs.

Yankees split the last two against Baltimore, end up taking 3 out of 4, and hold on to their 3 game lead in the AL East.

Michael Pineda (5-0, 2.72) had an outstanding start in the series finale, throwing 7 IP and allowing only 6 hits with no walks (allowing 1 run) and striking out 16 O's.

Carlos Beltran finally goes yard for the first time this season with a solo shot in the 4th inning.

Yankees now hit the road for a nine game road trip, starting with a four game series in Tampa, where they already swept a 3-game series last month.  Sabathia (0-5, 5.45) takes the hill in the opener tonight.

Yankees take the opener in Tampa, powered by 5 home runs and CC Sabathia's (1-5, 5.20) first win of the season, but then drop the next two.

Series finale against Tampa tonight with Chase Whitley (1-1, 3.06) before heading on to Kansas City for a weekend set.

Yanks drop the last game in Tampa, then drop 2 out of 3 against KC, and then drop the opener of a 2 game series against the Nationals last night as they reach the quarter mark of the 2015 season.

Jacoby Ellsbury sprains his right knee is last night's game, and has been placed on the 15 day DL.

Watch the sequence where umpire Marvin Hudson runs Bryce Harper from the game. That was pure, unadulterated BS.

Just watched the video clip.  Didn't see the entire sequence from start to finish, so maybe something in the overall context is lost via editing, but it looks like Harper was acting like a dick immediately before being tossed.  He's a whiny immature crybaby, with a lot of growing up to do.

Yanks split a six game homestand, dropping three to the Rangers, then sweeping the Royals.

Off to the West coast with 4 games in Oakland followed by 3 in Seattle.

You're forgetting the awesome record Arod just broke.

Yanks sweep the Ms. Nice game today by Tanaka, but I still think he is an injury waiting to happen. The team is looking good, but I still think they need to look for a bat in their farm system at second base and move Drew into a backup role. Gregorious has been swinging a good bat lately....let's see if it continues. Looks like he's playing with a little more confidence.
