I seriously dislike Teixeira, but I'm willing to set that aside for the good of the US of A. I would have been truly, deeply happy if he was able to help the States win the WBC, but at the end of the tournament he rips a ligament and was out for the Yanks for 18 months.

He grew up in Baltimore rooting for Mattingly instead of Eddie. I don't think it's outrageous to think he also grew up in the USA rooting for Communism and/or the Taliban. When Tex loses, everyone wins.

He grew up in Severna Park not Baltimore. Having grown up in SP myself I can say that there is not a particular allegiance to Baltimore. I was every bit as much at ease rooting for DC teams or watching DC news as I was Baltimore.

(not the Yankees tho, never the Yankees)

So you're saying I should root for your demise also?;)

Keep in mind that while all these guys are hurt right now, barring something going wrong, they're all going to come back, some right around the same time. The worst they've done this century in the first half was a .500 record exactly in 2007, and they still made the playoffs that year. Every year we do this dance waiting for the Yankees to collapse and implode, but it simply has never happened. I want it to happen, this could lead it to happen, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Time and time again, the Yankees have been there, and until the day comes that they aren't, there's no reason to think they won't be in the thick of things come the end of the season.

It isn't just injuries it is the type of injuries.

Granderson- Arm, he should be fine.

Hughes-Bulging Disk, could be an ongoing problem.

T-Bag- Wrist, wrist injuries tend to sap power for far longer then just the "recovery" period.

Arod- Hip, will he play much at all? Can he play defense at all?

So yes they will be back, but I think it is fair to say that three of the four won't be performing at per-injury level.

Dare to dream, but if the steroids rumors are true, this will have a major affect on the team both when they're gone and when they come back.

CC Sabathia has been a monster for the Yankees. He alone prop up a team even if it's only every 5th day.

They dynasty built on homegrown talent is just about gone. Jeter and Riveira are in the twilight. Who knows what's going on with Cano?

They certainly might hold on for one more year, but that's far from certain. They definitely will spend to replace their aging guys as they leave, but that's easier said than done. They Yankees will always be formidable, but they're not the juggernaut they used to be.

Not a fan of rooting for injuries, but I don't mind the Yankees finally starting to show their age. What I find extremely amusing:

"This ain't good," said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who was sitting in a wheelchair because of a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle from a sky-diving accident Monday.

Even their GM is disabled this spring.

Via Joel Sherman: Mariano Rivera will hold a press conference on Saturday morning to announce his retirement from baseball following the 2013 season. He could always change his mind between now and then, but don?t count on it. The press conference is scheduled for 10am ET in Tampa.

Rivera, 43, said he made up his mind about his future when camp opened, but he wasn?t ready to tell anyone anything yet. Saturday?s announcement will be no surprise, I think most of us expected Mo to retire following last season. The knee injury changed those plans. In fact, Rivera said himself there was a ?good chance? he would have retired in the offseason had the knee gotten healthy in time to allow him to pitch in the playoffs.

      Jordan Westburg 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By Billy F-Face3 · Posted

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
