This might be jumping the gun a bit but do you think they might be grooming Joba to become the heir apparent to Rivera. IIRC Rivera's contract ends this year but has a one year team option.

They've said a few times that Joba will be starting next year. Of course that could change, but at this point there's no plan for him to stay in the bullpen.

The club option for Rivera was this year. He's a free agent at the end of the season. But I would be shocked if he wasn't back next year.

moooooooooooose

Including this start, that's 3 good outings in a row albeit it's against the Royals twice and the White Sox.

Also, Jeter got drilled on the hand which sucks, hopefully it doesn't turn into anything serious.

i bet Jeter gets a day off tomorrow. as usual, he'll say he is fine.

Larry Bowa is hillarious. looking up at the scorer from the dugout.

[Karak567]

the lefty specialist comes through again

[Karak567]

is anyone else getting really, really tired of this Giuseppe Franco commercial?

because it's driving me to madness

i googled the stuff and apparently it's a bunch of BS anyways... it just like... dyes your hair

and it has gary busey in it

Luis Vizcaino is obviously more valuable in the 8th inning of a nine run lead than the 8th inning a four run lead.

Joe Torre's stupidity is the sole reason that Mariano Rivera has to get 4 outs today.

[dmisfh1]

That, and the Passaic/Clifton Honda car commercials really started putting me on tilt when playing. So now I just mute the commercials altogether. I might miss a pitch at the beginning of innings, but overall it's + EV.

[owsley]

i feel like its worth noting that for the next 5 minutes or so, the yankees have the best pythag record in baseball.
