Kyle Farnsworth had his suspension reduced from three games to one game by the MLB hierarchy.

He will serve that suspension tonight against the Tigers.

Joba is what he is….a flame throwing reliever (for now) that throws 100mph, is a strikeout pitcher and is very emotional. Nothing wrong with any of those!

I guess former Yankee, David Dellucci didn’t like it, but too bad:

“It is what it is. If he wants to yell and scream after a strikeout, I guess that’s what gets him going. It’s May baseball. The home run was in a much bigger situation. I didn’t dance and scream.” -David Dellucci

Of course Mike and the Mad Dog had their usual nonsensical verbal vomiting of how the Yankees shouldn’t allow this. I couldn’t disagree more. I dont mind when other pitchers do it to the Yankees and I don’t mind when Joba does it either. No hypocrisy there.  Let the kid show his emtion!  Maybe if some more guys on the field showed emotion like that we wouldn’t be playing .500 ball.

Per the NY Post, David Wells has been working out and stated that he can definitely bolster the Yankees rotation! Im no Cashman, but I would be VERY skeptical about this. You can look at the flip side, if you offer him a contract that is pretty much strictly incentive laden, what do you have to lose. Wells or Igawa? Pick your poison, but Im leaning as far awar from David Wells as possible.

Lets see how Kei and Rasner do this weekend before Hanky Poo thinks about bringing Boomer back out of retirement. The last time we brought a pitcher out of retirement he sucked ass, wasn’t worth the money, got accused of steroids, made a mockery of himself, was found to be lying about his wife taking steroids, was sold out by his trainer, found to be having an affair with a 15 year old singer when he was 28 and then was found to be having an affair with John Daly’s ex-wife….lets not relive that nightmare.

Look at it this way….at least the bar scene in NYC would take a nice up tick in revenue…

Yankees smash a 6-3 win against the Indians!

Cano goes YARD again! Bat starting to come around?

The Giambino!! Jason gets a huge 2 run blast!

Giambi, Cano, Damon and BETEMIT all take it deep as they let the Byrd fly!

Matsui Hit Streak is at 17 games

Joba comes in and redeems himself. Love that fist pump!

Marianomatic comes in and does his job….still 0ER on the year

Whats with Abreu and not being able to ever make a play deep in right? Sometimes I think there is barbed wire in the matting in right field and thats why he’s so afraid.

Moose improves to 5-3 and goes 5IP, 3ER….MOOOSSSEEE!

Cliff Lee makes the Yankees look like zombies as the Bombers lose 3-0

Wang looks good and keeps his team in it, but the Yankee offense has no answers for Lee.  Lee got some huge strikeouts and ground outs when he needed them

CMW goes 7IP, 3ER….great line, but not enough tonight

Kyle “Mr Reliable” Farnsworth does another great job out of the pen!

Hope we can get a game in today as the weather is so-so….

LETS GO MOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!

Yankees take a 3-2 lead into the 8th when Joba usually shuts everyone down…not tonight though as the Indians get a 3 run homerun to take the 5-3 win

Joba shakes his way to a loss….have faith in your veteran catcher!

Pettitte pitches a beauty with 6IP, 2ER

Matsui extends his hitting streak to 15 games….nice job HM!

Abreu was safe

All in all the Yankees played a pretty good game, but Joba just let it get away as he gave up his first runs at Yankees stadium EVER

Get Joba back out there tonight and lets forget this ever happened!

Tribe going down tonight as Wang comes in to get us back on track. Wang vs Lee is a possible CY Young showdown so stay tuned for a great pitching duel!

The New York Giants have given David Diehl a new deal to compensate him for shifting positions and his pro bowl caliber play this season for the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants.

David cashed in on a new 6 year, $31million contract!

Great move by the Giants here as this guy was key to keeping the pressure off Eli

The above photo is of a Nashua, NH woman who actually ran a Red Sox fan over and killed him after a Yankees/Sox argument.

I personally cant think of something that I would kill someone over and a baseball rivalry would probably be the last thing.  This lunatic claims that she was physically assaulted in an altercation between her and another woman as a result of a Yankees/Sox argument, which then resulted in her running over two people.    Unfortunately, one was tragically killed and the other was hospitalized.

I don’t need to state the obvious, but this woman should be locked up for life.
