Starlin is Darlin: The 2016 New York Yankees

i cannot imagine who among us would click on that

I did – it was good for a laugh.

i just came from a play that had a yelping character with dementia, so i'm over my quota.

I don't think Starling is staying in the 8th spot for too long.

now with nick swisher! (on a minors deal)

Yankees president Randy Levine thinks you're an idiot

Mr. Levine opened our discussion with a big play.

“There are no subsidies,” he said.

He folded that hand soon enough. According to the city’s Independent Budget Office, the stadium received about $270 million in federal tax-exempt financing. There was an additional $58 million for the parking garages, which the Yankees don’t own but from which they benefit.

“The bonds don’t cost the city or the state anything,” Mr. Levine said. “It costs federal taxpayers all over the country.”

That might not comfort a taxpaying plumber in Tulsa.

The city and state gave the Yankees a $40 million sales tax exemption on their construction costs. Mr. Levine argues that the stadium now generates sales tax, which is true but is beside the point. Most women and men start businesses without government subsidies and pay sales tax.

@keithlaw
or, worse, he himself believes the manure he's spreading

@JATayler
A-Rod walked up to "Erotic City." Long live A-Rod.

Since start of '14, Andrew Miller has K'd 276 of 639 batters he has faced (regular-season/playoffs), allowing 85 hits, 41 walks in 166 IP.

eighth inning last night was a delicious melange of pasta diving teixeira, pasta diving gregorius and pasta cringing headley

is Cringing Headley Pasta being served at one of the exclusive Stadium clubs?

It's hilarious that the Yanks got another season of A-Rod to pay out along with four more seasons of Ellsbury and two of Gardner.

They will get Sabathia and Teixera off the books after this season.

THE JUDGE IS NOW PRESIDING

Sussman, BP:

I know tradition is tradition, but there are such things as extenuating circumstances, and this would really be a good couple of months to let players have names on their jerseys.

does anyone know what sterling's call for gary sanchez is

i'm told that it's 'gary is scary'

Kershaw's second 'return' start may be in Bronx next Wed 4pm

that's a tough loss

boo hoo!

It was the first time the Yankees had lost a game with a three-run lead and two outs in the ninth since September 28, 2007 (Jay Payton hit a bases-loaded triple off Mariano Rivera and the O's won in the 10th).

RIP

sanchez, jeez

2 more HR tonight :O

i don't see how you don't give ROY to him. i think it's over

sterling calls him "the sanchino" now lololol

doesn't he have to have played a full season (or the majority of one) in the majors?

wait nvm i misread the qualifications

he's def earned it by the stats

being worth 3.0 WAR in only 43 games, damn

Willie McCovey was 1959 NL ROY with 219 PA. Sanchez has 188.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mccovwi01.shtml

from cbs sports http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/al-rookie-of-the-year-power-rankings-yankees-gary-sanchez-closing-the-gap-late/

If Sanchez plays every single game the rest of the season, he'll finish with 54 games played. The fewest games played by a Rookie of the Year position player is 52 by Willie McCovey with the 1959 Giants. Next fewest? Eighty-eight by Ryan Howard in 2005. Sanchez winning Rookie of the Year with so few games would not be unprecedented, but would be extremely rare.

his main competition is fulmer i guess, who's played almost a whole season for los tigres

fulmer is...a dude. sanchez has batted a 204 wRC+ in the heat of the wild card chase. you'd be crazy not to vote for him

career .275/.339/.460 hitter in 636 minor league games

idgi

xp i would prob vote for sanchez. by "main competition" i meant the direction in which BBWAA writers currently appear most likely to go

no i know i was just saying

i think he'll win. if anything voters will be swayed by sanchez's narrative

Castro & Gregorius first Yankee 2B/SS with 20 HR each

Funny that those two, instead of the '05-'12 combo, did it. Their previous career highs were 14 and nine.

you're on the mark, teixeira
