The Yankees lost to the Nationals tonight. That is not that glaring of a problem, because they will still be right there in September and October. The Yankees have the pieces to get the bat that their lineup seems to be missing. I know that Xavier Nady is hurt and he was supposed to be the right handed power, protecting Posada or Cano. But there might be a need to look close at Holliday. Matt that is, he could do serious damage in the new Yankees stadium. He can be the rental that pushes them over the top. Johnny Damon and Hiedki Matsui come off the books. They can resign Matt and still have a smaller payroll than they do this year. I just think that A-Rod is looking human, and without his added energy boost for the dog-days of summer these men play through. They have some young pitchers a

John Sterling has been the radio personality for the New York Yankees for the past 15-20 years. His most popular call is when the Yankees finish off an exciting victory. He says, "Ballgame over.

He's come up with a few cool ones. Which one is your favorite? To see what it looks like from the booth, check this out!

Mariano Rivera is approaching 40. Retirement could come any year now. What are the Yankees' options? How about a switch pitcher? That's right. His name is Pat Venditte and he pitches both righty and lefty. You thought it was confusing enough with switch hitting. Rick Reilly wrote an interesting article for the May 18 issue of ESPN the magazine. According to the article, currently he's still in the Yankees farm system, pitching for the Single-A Charleston Riverdogs. Venditte's parents saw that he was doing everything both right-handed & left handed, so they fed it. His hispanic teammates call him "pulpo" which means octopus. I imagine it's because of the way he switches from 1 side to the other depending on whether the batter faced is righty or lefty.

Check him out warming up for the Staten Island Yankees:

What kind of talent do the Yankees need to get before the trade deadline is over? I believe they need strength in the bullpen. TRADE JOSE VERAS. PLEASE! He keeps getting them into trouble. They need to bridge a gap between their starting pitchers and Mariano Rivera.

Chien Ming Wang has proven himself over and over again down in Tampa. What is keeping Girardi from putting him back in the rotation? Could it be that Hughes is pitching too well? Could it be that Girardi is trying to stretch him out like he did Joba in last year's transition from the bullpen to the rotation?

One down, and a long summer to go for the NY Knicks. They have two restricted free agents that GM's wanted to have on their teams, The NBA teams are feeling the economic crush like the rest of the globe, and I'm inclined to think that checks won't be written willy nilly, w/o consideration for a franchise's direction. Ronny Turiaf was a restricted FA last year, and went to Golden-State for 3yrs 12mill with a player option for the 4th. Lee averages 16PP and 11rebounds while playing 35 mins. Turiaf is a 6PP and 4Reb while playing 21mins. What i think the Knicks do is, figure out how much David Lee brings to a winning formula and how much of his production is Mike D'antoni's creation via the "drag sets" he runs. Lee is a hard worker, and I've watched his game take real strides in production, but at what cost. Less than 2 mill pers season, makes him underpaid, but I don't think he can live up to the big money contract either. Josh Smith signed a contract last year 5year 58 million after, the Grizzlies originally offered that Atlanta matched. His line stands at 15pp 7reb and 1 block in 35 mins, you can argue that Lee is more productive than Smith. But do we as Knicks fan want to see Lee get that much money. Josh Smith is the 2nd leading go to guy, unless you need a Bibby three, and even that Joe Johnson shooting .So, i think what makes David expendable is a player like Hasheem Thabbet from Uconn, or Earl Clark. Why not Tyler Hansboro  They'll be able to generate the same activity Lee does just by getting into the running system. Being in the right condition can lead to the offensive boards too. Something the TrailBlazers do well. Speaking of the Trailblazers, Lamarcus Aldridge will be a restricted free-agent in 2010, his qualifying offer is at 7.4. I'd rather wait and try to sell him on NY for 10mill or so, leaving the rest for the other big name. Aldridge was a draft rights pick of the Knicks, lost the pick in their debacled Eddy Curry deal.  Al Horford scores 11points with 9boards, and a block shot in 33mins and he's paid 4million. So, i would say that the Knicks have to keep David Lee under 6million dollars, and if they can do that they'll be in good shape financially. I think Mr. Donnie Walsh got it right by not negotiating prior to the season. The market is gonna dictate the price, not so much the skill. Emeka Okafor, is certainly going to be in David Lee's agents bag of examples, he signed a a 6year 75million deal last summer, after averaging 13pp 10reb and 1.7blks, and the comparision between the two players will be made, rightly so. But he's the low post presence for the team, and thats because he blocks shots. Kwame Brown took a 2year 8mill dollar deal with Detroit last season, he averages 4pp and 4rebs over 16mins. David has to be worth more than that, and it can be argued double what he signed for.

So, any chance that A.J. Burnett is the pitcher that sets the pace for the team? C.C Sabathia was brought in as the ace of their staff, but Joba Chamberlain says that, "each pitcher tries to out do the next." A healthy competition between men. A.J showed the most emotion on the pitchers mound so far. He seems to be the pitcher that likes to speak his mind the most, making him the most likely to be more accesible. That may lead him be the one that sets the pace for the team this season. Thoe other pitchers will try and out perform AJ's win. Because of Mr. Burnett, the team got their 1st win of 2009 season, and makes it the natural pace setter, but it may be no coincidence he won the first game. If he was a Brave, he would have been the ace for them. His potential to pitch tough might have gotten the pitchers to follow suit. I feel that this rotation might see Burnett with the most wins. Does anyone disagree?

So, the debate has not been heard from ever since the Yankees said, "Joba is a starter, he has #1 stuff", but do we really want to see Joba every 5th day, as opposed to 4x per week. Mo looks like he can close for 2more years, and then his deal is up. Do the Yankees think that they have a closer in the minor leagues. Mark Melancon, is said to be waiting in the wings. BUt, Joba, just has closer written all over him. Can't you see him doing the "Superman" after he closes the clinching game of a world series victory. I think that he is being handled the right way right now, but Ian Kennedy, and Phil Hughes are arms the Yanks have in minor leagues, and would be on any other teams 25 man roster. So let the debating begin, what year does Joba go to the bullpen. My bet is before the end of the season. we see him coming in the 8th inning instead of coming out.
