Build on your last start, Hiroki.

Jason Marquis? Really?

Just go ahead and start the next day's thread, JA. Bloodbath ahoy.

[SemperFidelisSox]

Holy shit. Andruw Jones OWNS Jason Marquis. 9-12, 5 HR, 14 RBI.

But Marquis isn't a lefty! No way Girardi starts Jones. Unless Teixeira needs another day off.

Girardi certainly seems like the type to pinch hit Homer Simpson for Darryl Strawberry. It's called playing the percentages. That's what smart managers do to win ballgames.

[jon abbey]

I do think Girardi will start Jones based on those numbers, but it should be noted those ABs were all between 2004-2007, so maybe not super relevant in 2012.

I have a weird feeling Marquis will Pavano the Yankees.

[rembrat]

Jason Marquis is making his first ML start tonight. I bet they hang 8 on him.

[rembrat]

First ML start of 2012, I mean. His shittynees has been around.

I thought this was an "NL as AAAA" joke.

Interesting breakdown on CC's pitching last night compared to previous two starts:

[jon abbey]

Absolutely ridiculous to start Ibanez in RF and sit Jones. A-Rod with the day off:

1. Jeter SS
2. Granderson CF
3. Teixeira 1B
4. Cano 2B
5. Swisher DH
6. Ibanez RF
7. Chavez 3B
8. Martin C
9. Gardner LF

[derekson]

Was Ibanez responsible for any of the doubles?

[rembrat]

What the hell has Goten into the Twins?

The twins are, terrible

[Wingack]

Jones taking some serious hacks against Marquis.

[SemperFidelisSox]

That's just an embarrassment. Marquis should be retired and teaching at a high school somewhere.

[ThePrideofShiner]

Wow, great job Chavez. Jesus.

[Saby]

Rapda warming in the pen. 5-3 now

[ThePrideofShiner]

Nothing like getting rocked by Chris Parmalee and Sean Burroughs.

Rapda warming in the pen. 5-3 now

Hopefully he'll get to see some RHB, the pitching equivalent of Ibanez in the OF.

[Saby]

Oh well, he didn't walk anyone.

[Sampo Gida]

Jeter really off to a good start, whats that, 4 HR?

[Foulkey Reese]

Did the Twins just win a series in NY?

[Saby]

No, there's still the game tomorrow. But they didn't lose the series at the very least, which is siginificant improvement.

It's becoming more and more apparent how much that slump Jeter had for a year saved the Yankees in cash.

The 2014 player option isn't locked in yet, the #2-6 MVP thing looks slightly less ridiculous right now, Silver Slugger too, I guess:

2014:$8M player option ($3M buyout)

2014 option may increase to $17M based on awards earned in 2011-13: $4M for AL MVP; $2M for 2nd-6th in MVP vote; $1.5M for Silver Slugger; $0.5M each for Gold Glove, ALCS MVP, WS MVP

[Saby]

If he has a good season and a semi decent year next year, Jeter should opt out and see if he can eke out a multi-year deal.

[jon abbey]

Gardner onto the DL and they bring up another pitcher instead of DeWayne Wise, who has been killing it in AAA (not on the 40 man roster, but still).
