Brother, Can You Spare a Pitcher: Yankees
Apr 24, 2007 | 5:45PM | report this

NY Yankees pitching is just plain bad.

Yankees pitcher, Chase Wright, gave up Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back homers on Saturday night.  Wright was called up from Double A to pitch.  He's been optioned back to Double A.  Boston is teary eyed  for the send down.  Beantowners dig the long ball!

Today, the Yankees have reactivated Chien Min Wang from the disabled list after a leg/groin injury.  Chien and his $500,000.00 salary are scheduled to pitch in Florida tonight.

The starting Yankee rotation does NOT include DL listers Mike Mussina or Carl Pavano, whose combined salary is $21,000,000.00    That's big money to those of us not in the AL East.

In a few weeks, the Annual Roger Clemens Buy Me For a Prorated $25,000,000.00 auction will begin.  Ability or not Clemens makes baseball look bad with his annual antics.  Complain that poor Roger's body won't let him pitch a whole season.  This is all about Roger doing his best AnnaNicole impression to put his name in every sportscast.   The annual act is old, like Roger.

The Yankees will be standing in line early to hand in their Clemens bid.  Having lost out on Dice K, the Yankees need pitching yesterday.  Clemens is a known commodity and Steinbrenner will bid and bid high.  Adding Clemens means Boston doesn't have him.  That's like adding two pitchers.  I suggest also buying Dontrelle Willis from Florida.   Dontrelle's current salary of $6,5000,000 is far less than Clemens'.  The Yankees will need to add a few years to the contract.   Pay the man and give the Marlins whatever they ask.   Offer Dontrelle's newborn guaranteed enrollment in an exclusive Manhattan pre-school to close the deal.

The Yankees were once known for their farm system and pitcher development.  The past years have shown the decline. 

Stay tuned for more on SportsCenter starting May 15@ 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, etc.   The NYPost will update you daily.

ABOUT ME

Statistics are a dangerous when handled by zealots. I believe Burnt Orange isn't a color, it's a disease. The DH rule should be elimintated. I like cats and dogs...cats taste more like chicken. Women are god's greatest creation. Barry Bonds was detrimental to sports. The month after the Super Bowl is sports HELL. March Madness is the best elongated sports extravaganza.
The Masters is great watching, in spite of Jim 'nancy boy' Nantz. Anyone spouting political commentary should be barred from this site. This is a sports blog! I need a soma. easy polls
