Mark your calendars
The Yankees released their 2007 regular-season schedule on Friday. Some of the highlights:
The 105th home opener at Yankee Stadium will take place on Monday, April 2 at 1:05 p.m., kicking off an 81-game home schedule which will feature nine games against each of the team's American League East foes, including the rival Red Sox.
The Yankees will host Interleague series against the Mets (June 15-17), Diamondbacks (June 12-14) and Pirates (June 8-10) -- all former World Series opponents. The Bombers will visit the Giants (June 22-24), Rockies (June 19-21) and Mets (May 18-20) as part of Interleague Play.
New York and Boston meet for the first of 19 times on April 20 at Fenway Park, opening a three-game series. The Red Sox visit the Bronx a week later, as the two rivals play three games at Yankee Stadium from April 27-29. The two teams meet again six times in May, three times in August and three times in September.
Joe Torre's team will get its first look at Gary Sheffield and the defending AL champion Tigers on August 16, the first of four games at Yankee Stadium. A week later, the two teams renew acquaintances in Detroit for four games.

Just a gut feeling about Villone, and I don't like it, but I'm afraid last year was his best. I have visions of Quantrill....
I had an interesting thought about Igawa and Matsuzaka. I wonder how much effect the signing of one will have on the other in terms of contract size. If we can sign Igawa quickly and not low-ball him, will it drive the price up on Matsuzaka for the Sox? I wouldn't be surprised to see Boras hold out as long as possible to try to see what Igawa goes for.

Glad to finally see the complete schedule...Time to mark my calendar for April 9, 10, 11, the days the Yankees come and visit the Twinkies. Unfortunately I think they are weeknights (all 7:10 CT starts) so I will likely only be able to go to one.
It's title game Saturday in college football, though 2 out of the three games will simply decide which mediocre ACC and Big 12 teams go to the BCS. The SEC title game is the game of the day, with the winner going to the BCS (Fla. can go to the National Championship w. a win and a USC loss) and the loser exiled to the Capital One Bowl. Also, USC-UCLA and Army-Navy, both fun rivalries.
Looks like trade,FA discussions are heating up; should be a fun few weeks.

Mark, just a question. Is it possible to show pictures of the Stadium's new site? It was just an empty lot in early October when I was up for Game 2, and it would be interesting to see how it looks now.
I am sure that if there are pictures available, that fans (especially those who can't get to NY) would love to follow the progress of the new Stadium, say, how the site looks in December, then April, August, next December...and so on. It might be interesting.
Just a thought.

There's something in Pete's blog about a right handed 1B named Julio Zuleta who is playing in Japan. He seems to hit pretty well against Matsuzaka. But he is 31 years old and his numbers are not outstandings. I still prefer the option I commented about a week ago. I'm talking about Luis Alfonso García.

I forgot about him, Jorge. he looked really good last year in spring training, though I thought he was in the outfield.
Personally I would prefer sticking with Andy Phillips. Many people forget he was a rookie last year so I think he will get better with regular play. Extrapolating his play last year to a who season he was at about a 16 HR, 70 RBI guy, but I think he will improve. Short of getting Mark Teixeira I would be happy with Phillips.
That Zuleta guy is being flogged by the serial posters on Pete's and other blogs and now Pete pointed out even his agent has inflated his statistics.
But I have to say that Garcia did seem interesting and is worth another look.

OK, Jeff, thanks, I will look shortly.

I was up for Game 2. Ironically, those pictures are from the day I was up. Just was wondering how it is now.
Zuleta hit 109 HR in the last 3 years in Japan. He did have a cup of tea (so to speak) with the Cubs a few years back. You can check out baseballreference.com for that. I don't know about his D, but his numbers project to Craig Wilson numbers. .247 career average, strikeout to walk ratio not the best....
Whoever it is will hit 8th. The rest of the lineup is pretty much set.

Paul:
These were the comments about Luis Alfonso García. As you can see, I'm not alone in this. Good to see you are another one who thinks he deserves an opportunity. I'd like to hear Mark's comments about García.
Speaking about 1B. There is an interesting mexican player. Maybe some of you remember him. I'm referring to Luis Alfonso García. He plays both RF and 1B. Right handed batter. 6'4". 180 pounds. 28 years old (05/11/78).
He was invited to Tampa last Spring Training. I don't know the reason, but he didn't reported early. He just played 11 games with as few as 13 AB's. But hear this. 4 R, 5 H, 2 HR, 8 RBI, 1 SO, .846 SLG and .385 AVG. But at the end of Spring Training Yanks offered him to go to the Minors, and he preferred to return to México. We were so crowded at the OF with Matsui, Damon, Sheff, Bubba, Melky and Bernie. And with Giambi and AP at first. So, there was no place for him. Back in México he played for Monterrey (AAA). His stats? Again, very good ones. 64 G, 229 AB, 51 R, 81 H, 19 HR, 60 RBI, 30 SO, .646 SLG and .354 AVG. I really hope he'll receive an invitation again. I hope Joe and Donnie has not forgotten him. I think he is ready for the Majors. Right handed 1B. Not expensive at all. If you see this, Mark, remember Brian Cashman that Luis Alfonso is waiting for the invitation. At least, let's watch him in Tampa. No risk at all

Yeah Mark. If you see this, please get in somebody's ear. No harm looking into a nice young player.
Posted by: levelhead@bonsai.net | November 18, 2006 12:56 PM
Yeah I remember Luis A. Garcia from the WBC, Jorge. He was actually with the Yanks in spring training but he opened the season at Columbus and ended up being released I think...I was rooting for him though.
And did anyone else notice that the AAA team this year is gonna be good for a change? Haha no longer a bunch of people trying to keep their careers alive.
Posted by: btide21@aim.com | November 18, 2006 01:14 PM
I too was wondering what happened to Garcia. I remember being impressed with his stats in ST last year and was wondering who the **** he was. I'm with Jorge on this one. Get this guy back to Florida this Spring. At least give him a real shot to land the 1st base job.

Parents should cease to patronize sponsors and advertisers of Major League Baseball until such time as MLB assuers that it can provide a place safe from harassment and stalkers.
Report any abuse or spam
I agree, Paul. It is a shame that MLB.com does not have measures in place that allow blog moderators to prevent comments from a certain IP address and/or screen name. After all, MLB is not a mom-and-pop business. It has the money and technology to give blog moderators the freedom to keep deviants like Fagan from transforming what is usually a pleasant forum for baseball fans into a platform for his anger and hatred. And it is normal for people to become so tired of this that they lash out at the source of the anger and hatred, as I have done at times.
The bottom line is - everyone of the Yankees and Sox blogs, and individual blogs like mine - get along fine. There may be some heated debates between Yankees and Sox fans, but it sticks to baseball and not personal attacks. When Fagan is here, his unprovoked defamatory remarks evoke angry responses. Even if we ignore him - as we have been doing on all three blogs - his comments still litter these spaces until Mark, Ian and I discover them and delete them.
It's time that something is done. I suggest that every regular write a complaint on Mark Newman's blog - and also contact MLB.com corporate. And every time he posts something defamatory - which is every day he appears - copy it, paste it and e-mail it to Mark Newman and MLB.com. We must continue to complain until MLB.com decided to take action and ban Fagan's IP address (and anyone else like him, of which there isn't right now).
Report any abuse or spam
I have no idea what's going on. I blame the offseason. Going Yankee-less for an extended period of time is putting everyone on edge.
Report any abuse or spam
Paul, Mike, Jeff, Ellen, and all, I agree with you about Fagan, and I agree that MLB should not delete the complaints abouts him/it. However, I'm not sure there is much they can do other than delete the foul comments after they're made. They can probably block the usual posting address which will just encourage it to log in under a new name. They might even be able to block it's usual server/IP address, but then it simply moves to a neutral server, wi-fi locale, or public library. Maybe I'm missing something, but I believe if I wanted to get around blocking attempts I could with ease and so can it.
The more we allow it to anger us, annoy us, get under our skin, the closer it comes to winning. No, we shouldn't have to read that filth, but giving it our attention is like giving oxygen to an ember. Unless there's technology that I don't know about that allows MLB to identify and block an individual based on actual identity, the best we can do is ignore it and have it deleted ASAP after it's posted.
Report any abuse or spam
Right, Jeff. Even here as Yankee fans we disagree strongly on some points but we still respect each other as people and actually enjoy spending blog time with each other and with our leader, Mark.
This should all be FUN. The harassment is clearly intended to end the fun. He has so much as stated that. But MLB is compliant.
Report any abuse or spam
Agreed, Andy, and we have been good about not responding to it. But last night was the proverbial straw.
MLB has countless resources in what has been a record year for them.
They have the legal and technological means to pursue this if they wish to. Instead they allow one person, using that term lightly, to attempt to ruin the experience of many.
And worse many who do not blog here read this stuff and are subjected to it far too much.
Report any abuse or spam
It is my guess that this is by far the largest and most active blog on the MLB system.
We cannot allow this to grind us to a halt.
Report any abuse or spam
Agreed, Paul, but again, what technology is there to identify an individual before the posting goes up? I guess they could have a full-time live censor in place, but that would severely delay our posts, and when we're all blogging in-game, that would be extremely annoying. Again, they could block its IP address, but that's easy to get around. And blocking its log-in name just means it uses new unknown names, making it harder to immediately identify it.
Report any abuse or spam
Andy, there are technological and legal ways, but I think it would not be wise to address them here.
I think we made out point here. But I am not finished.
I did decide no one is getting MLB Christmas gifts from me. They are getting returned. Originally I thought NFL gear will replace it and in most cases that or and NHL thing will do.

Back to important matters. Paul, I'm beginning to move your direction about Andy Phillips. Unless we can get Teixeira, I'd just as soon give him a chance to play full-time. Our line-up is strong enough to have that luxury. If he doesn't make it, then make a move before the trade deadline.

Gedwards, either you are another screen name for Fagan (which I think is the case), or you have not been clearly reading our comments. This poster we are eluding to has consistently over the last several months littered several blogs with racist, defamatory and hurtful remarks. He is THE ONLY person (who presents himself with numerous screen names) who causes any tension on the Yankees, Sox and BoSox Banter blogs. It's not venomous to stand up for all of us who have consistently been targets on this thing's anger and hatred. When he is here, there is tension. When he goes away, all of the blogs have a normal tone - with baseball fans enjoying forums to talk and debte about baseball, and nothing more. So don't make a post unless you know the full story.

OK. I'm done talking about this for the time being. MLB.com is receiving multiple complaints. It's up to them to take action, and it is up to us to try to ignore and not respond to it since his comments will be deleted.

I think that is a strong option, Andy.
Yet I am still hoping that they can find a new home for Jason Giambi which would give them a lot more flexibility in the DH position with maybe bringing in Bernie against left handers and Matsui against right handers. That would allow Melky to be in the field when Matsui DHs.
I also liked the guy Jorge mentioned earlier, Garcia. He is certainly worth another look.
But as for Andy P, I think saying here is the job; it is yours to keep will give him a lot more confidence than the way it was handled last year.

Ohio State will beat anyone they play. Michigan is the only one that will have a prayer.

You're right Paul! April 9-11 is Spring Break here! Now I know what I'm doing those days!!! Thank you! Wonder how many I can go to, and if there is anyone else on here who may go to one of those games.
The Packers get the Jets today in what could be a very good game. With the Lions and Vikings after this, a .500 season isn't out of the question, and that might be the incentive Favre needs to come back for another year or two. Aaron Rodgers just is not the answer.
If I'm right on the BCS:
Ntl. Championship
Ohio State vs. Florida
Rose Bowl
Michigan vs. USC
Fiesta Bowl
Oklahoma vs. Boise State
Orange Bowl
Wake Forest vs. Louisville
Sugar Bowl
LSU vs. Notre Dame

Thanks for pointing that out to Mark, NY Angel. Mark is the one w/the snide comments about "Cowgirls" and "rooting against them" all the time and obnoxious fans. But once the foot is on the other shoe, one is the bad guy. I am sure if the Cowboys lose today, Mark w/have some snide comments, just like when they lost to the Skins. Let's play fair around here Angel. Mark was saying how great USC was. All I said was they are over rated and would never beat Ohio State. Another nice comment, "hatred of the Cowgirls"...you sound like Mark now Angel.....

OK, they have closed the comment section on the Newman blog. That REALLY makes it seem like they are just trying to pretend this isn't happening. We definitely do not deserve to be shut out like that.

What is this Newman blog?

I have no idea. I'm not completely sure I know what's going on. All I know is that I sure miss the Yankees. Hopefully there will be some interesting Hot Stove news soon, because the Winter Meetings have been quite dull.
Dave Roberts signing with the Giants...I'm sure Mark is happy that the average age of Giants outfielders is finally below 40.

You know why I can't stand the Cowgirls? It has less to do with the actual team (although that helps) and more to do with fans like you.
Its okay for you to insult the Red Sox and call them names because you hate them, but you get so defensive if someone does that to the Cowgirls.
Pot, meet kettle.

Most people hate the Cowboys, just like most people hate the Yankees.
You'd think being a fan of both teams you'd have developed a thicker skin by now.

I am defensive. I am just pointing out when "God" Mark makes fun of a team, he can do no wrong, when I say something about Mark's team, you nor him can take it.....

Is that really the best you can do? Do my homework?
You're right, I should stop. Its no fun getting under the skin of someone so clearly unarmed.
