We are so bored of excellence we are now only concerned with the marital travails of our GM - The 2012 Yankees thred

I think million dollar meatheads just need better minders/handlers.

'dislocated ankle' gives me unpleasant chills. i'm not even sure how one does that. (don't describe)

open flesh wound around the ankle

sorry; flag post

sounds so remarkably painful

i feel like this is one of those injuries that somehow only happens to an athlete during the off season

Brandon Inge once had to move a pillow behind his co-sleeping son's head and has not been the same since then.

i imagine it's more akin to joel zumaya reaching to flush the toilet

there's ron artest tripping over his children's christmas presents; no off-time is safe.

he... fell off a trampoline? and apparently lost a "life-threatening amount of blood"?

the funny thing is he wasnt doing it surreptitiously in his backyard, its was at a trampoline facility for kids
then he threw a no look pass to aaron boone

Could see him and his son having a, uh, complicated relationship going forward.

Yanks need to look on the bright side: it's only Joba Chamberlain.

minor-league deal for Cust!

Michael Pineda (P) NY-A 3/29/2012
Manager Joe Girardi hasn’t made an official announcement, but it appears that Freddy Garcia may make the Yankees’ rotation to start the season, which could leave Pineda looking at a trip to the minors, the New York Post reports. “When you look at a guy who doesn’t have a lot of time [in the majors], you are trying to consider the upside of what you can possibly give because they don’t have the same track record as Freddy,” Girardi said. The last slot in the rotation appears to come down to Pineda or Ivan Nova, and even that slot is at risk if Andy Pettitte returns in May. If this news decreases what it costs to get Pineda for a keeper league, he becomes a great investment, as he still has #1 starter upside, though his short-term value may not be as high as anticipated.

lol yankees

this is really going to through a wrench into Cashman's hopes to win his $500 entry AL-only keeper league.

Pineda's trip is to DL w/ shoulder tendinitis

ivan nova roughed up by the metsies today

"Today was the worst day of my life," Nova said.

Jeter had a nice oppo field home run earlier. Angels getting pistol whipped.

jeter's off to a nice start huh?

man pujols looks weird not in a cards jersey

at least it's still red, i tell myself

Homerless Pujols just K'd by Boone Logan.

John Sterling just made hilarious non-call of game's last out (couldn't see outfielder in the corner)

Granderson with three tacos!

@jaysonst
Jeter's 4th hit of the night was his 9th extra-base hit of the year. Know when he got his 9th XBH last year? Would you believe May 27?

dude's playing like he's 25 again

sss

he'll have his month where he looks 45 too.

Mark Feinsand@BloggingBombers

if it only had more meme potential we might get a mortal kombat Finish Her remix

someone pointed out that the kicker is lucky that lady didnt die. coulda easily happened. some dude died at angels stadium a couple years ago because he fell back on some stairs during a fight.

god damn

the Yankees will try to find an escape hatch from their remaining five-year, $114 million obligation to the three-time American League MVP.

there is no escape (hatch)

The Yankees will be saved by Derek Jeter: 'the transcendent one'
