ESPN pointed out that the Yankees have $39.5 Million of payroll on the DL right now which is more than the entire Royals roster.

Love it...CryAngry

They did win 12-4 though. Had one of those Yankee innings where they keep piling up runs, then a few more times.
AL East is still crazy, I think it'll be a down to the wire for the 3 teams.
And honestly while most likely out of it...Toronto and Baltimore aren't toooo far behind

Anybody see Teixera sell that HBP last night?  Most players that actually do get hit by the ball don't hop around that much. LOL

I hope his performance can be maintained.  Certainly a career year in the making.

I think it can be. His K/9 will probably come down a bit, but with this two secondary pitches becoming serviceable he's cut down on the only thing that was going to keep him from being elite. Plus he has some pretty good pitchers to learn from on that staff now.

I didn't think they would be contenders when it all shook out, but geeze I didn't think it could happen that quickly. Hopefully we can get a sexy 4 game sweep here and really just take them out of the picture.

Damn Granderson is a beast. He has 35 HR over the last 111 games, into last year of course, and these are dreaded words...but if he maintains pace he'll have one hell of a year.

Hope you don't regret losing him too badly Scott

IMO the real hero of the game was D. Brown. Young kid facing a tough lefty, which he has historically struggled against, works out a walk after falling behind instead of trying to mash a HR to win the game.

Actually I consider Utley the hero because he drove in two runs and gave the phillies an easy chance to score two more being at third with less than two outs. However that happened early in the game so people tend to forget that when it comes time to name a hero.

I seriously couldn't believe it when the Tigers included him in that trade, especially since he had 2 or 3 years left on his contract.  He had definitely shown that he was a 20 HR 20 steal man here and his defense was outstanding.  That short fence at the new Yankee Stadium has made him an even better player.  He used to strike out a lot as a Tiger.  I thought that I heard that your batting coach helped him make an adjustment which has helped him cut down on the strikeouts.  Now if we could only get your batting coach to work on Austin Jackson.

You guys kind of stole Miggy from the Marlins so its only fair. Not that I'm complaining though.

Really like D. Brown's play lately, great catch last night as well.  Hope he keeps it up.
