Vote for Hideki Matsui for All Star DH and Continue to Vote for the Yankees

Attention Yankee Fans,

Please give Hideki Matsui enough votes to put him in the starting line up for the American League in the 2008 All Star game as a DH. Even Although David Ortiz is in the lead with the Most votes and just been put on the DL, but I’m not so sure How long Ortiz be on the DL and be ready for the All Star Game. Right Now, Matsui is the best hitter in the American League with a batting  average of .330. Right now Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are more likely going to be in the All Star Game. It would be nice to add another Yankees bat in the American League line up in July for a summer classic in the Bronx. Please Continues voting for the Yankees to participate a Final All Star game at the Stadium this July before the Team moves across street for the 2009 season.
Thank You for your Support, I’ll See you next time

WAY AGO WANG (as the Yankees snap their 3 game losing streak against the Indians)

This Afternoon game against the Indians was a pitching dual from the 2007 AL Division series with CC Sabathia (the 2007 AL CY Young Award winner) against Chein Min Wang(whose going for his fifth win of the season).

Both pitchers were dual through four innings until the top of the fifth inning where Sabathia have gave up a solo home-run to Melky Cabrera(which was the only run in the game) with no one on, because Cano was caught stealing while Cabrera was up to bat and one out. The rest of the time, Wang only gave up 4 hits and 2 base on ball while striking out 9 batter over 7 innings. While CC Sabathia only gave up one homerun and strikeout 8 batters. The last two inning of the games both Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera each strikeout two batters each as the Yankees go on win the game of the score of 1-0 and they improve their record to 13-13 even .500.

What is the Best Pitching Role for Joba Chamberlain?

What Pitching role do you think that Joba should be in Bullpen or Starting Rotation?

I would like Joba Chamberlain to be Starter for the Yankees, but I rather see Chamberlain to a Starter sometime next season than sometime this season. I want him to be in the Bullpen this year, because I’m afraid if he comes a starter this season it will effect the bullpen and the starting rotation. To be honest, I want Jonathan Albaladejo to be the starter for the Yankees this season if either [Phil]Hughes,[Ian]Kennedy or [Mike]Mussina Continues to struggle and not pitching constantly. The Problem with Joba being the Starting Rotation is that you have no one to be an eighth inning setup man to Mariano Rivera. There is a possibly that Chamberlain could pitch inconstantly as a starter. 
Having Joba in the bullpen this season is better than having Joba in the Rotation sometime this year. because what happens if he struggles in the rotation or he goes on the DL with an injury while pitching as a starter, that would huge mistake on the teams decision. If I were the Yankees, I would have Joba pitch in the rotation sometime next year,because it gives Joba an opportunity to pitch at least 30 games. If he doesn’t do well as a starter, I’m hoping that Chamberlain will continue to be a 8th inning pitcher and eventually becomes the new closer for the Yankees after Rivera retires from baseball.

Wang’s Complete Game

Tonight Yankee Pitcher Chein Min Wang has gone 3-0 on the season and the first complete Game of the Season.  The only run that Wang gave up was a Solo home run by JD Drew overall hit only gave up just two hits and 3 strikeout against both Manny and Ortiz.

The Yankees were playing a little small ball by bunting and moving the runners over the next base. They end up winning game with base hits and solo home-run by Jason Giambi. This game  was very close but in the end the Boston Red Sox got their butts kick by the Yankees. I hoping Tomorrow that the Yankees will win their Second game against Red Sox with Mussina and Beckett on the Mound. 
Here is the Final Score of Tonight Game:
               R-H-E
Yankees: 4-10-1
Red Sox: 1-2-0

The bats start to heat up with 3HRs

From the past two games against the Kansas City Royal, The Yankees offends were Ice as Cold which means they could not get anything from their bats. The Final Game against the Royals at Kaufman Stadium the Yankees bat are starting to get warm up with Home-runs from Melky Cabrera, A-ROD, and Jorge Posada. Thank God, Andy Pettitte help out the team by only give up one run while make amazing plays including a pick off move to first which is his best pick off move in his career and the catch he caught over his head was amazing. The Final Score was Yankees-6 Royals-1. This weekend will be exciting especially when the Yankees go to Boston and play 3 games against them and I’m hoping the Yankees will able to win the series against the Boston Red Sox.

Here is the Pitching match up this Weekend:
Friday:
Chein Min Wang (2-0, 1.38) vs Clay Buchholz (0-1, 5.40)
Saturday:
Mike Mussina (1-1, 3.09) vs Josh Beckett (0-1,9.64)
Sunday: 
Phil Hughes (0-1,5.00) vs Daisuke Matsuzaka (2-0,1.47)
