A Pack A Day (Free subscription) | 11/11/2009
Here's my first 2005 Upper Deck pack, purchased as part of a repack box sometime in the past couple of months. Some of the less interesting stuff that I open tends to sit around for awhile, and I'd probably say that this fits. The design is full-bleed like many Upper Deck sets, but is also fairly forgettable at the same time. 354 - Angel Berroa 315 - David Ortiz (It's hard for me to totally hate David...

by Michael Appleton - AP View full size photo » Can we finally give some credit to Brian Cashman? After an eight year drought, he finally put the Yankees back on top of the baseball world. After acquiring underachiever after underachiever, Cash built a team based on healthy and dependable stars. In years past, we'd seen the likes of Jaret Wright , Kevin Brown, Randy Johnson , Gary Sheffield ,...

Observations: 1. So now the Series goes back to New York, with the Yankees leading 8-6. Unless Joe Girardi summons Chad Gaudin to the mound, the Yankees' starters both will be working on short rest. Since the 2004 NLDS (when Roy Oswalt beat Jaret Wright), starters in the post-season working on short rest are 0 and 7. The record for starters working on short rest since 1999 is 9-28. The edge on this...

Since the Yankees and Angels clinched and confirmed their date in the 2009 ALCS all I’ve heard about what a great team the Angels are. People are entitled to their opinions so I can’t bash anyone for that, but it did get me thinking about the Yankee teams that previously faced the Angels. In 2002 and 2005 the Yankees faced the Angels in the ALDS and both times were unfortunately bounced...

I don't know if I've told you guys this but I've only really been a serious Yankees fan for a few years now. My fandom can really be traced back to one game, one very similar to last night's. In 2004 the Yankees also faced the Minnesota Twin in the ALDS and went into the Metrodome to win the clincher. With some heroics from Alex Rodriguez, they took the game and were headed to the ALCS to take on the...

SP CC Sabathia (should pitch every 4th day unless the Yanks are up 2-0 or 3-0 2. SP AJ Burnett 3. SP Andy Pettitte (I'd be ok with starting him second, but I think Girardi will split the lefties and righties) 4. SP Joba Chamberlain (will his...

Yes — that’s Jaret Wright, Kevin Brown, Carl Pavano and Randy Johnson. It’s a who’s who of failure. All that’s missing is a bag of medical supplies and a few syringes for Brown. The photo is featured in a read by Tyler Kepner (NY Times), as he outlines the many — and I mean many [...]

The Tao of Stieb tries to find a silver lining in the Yankees restocking their rotation. All I can say is the only thing CC Sabathia and Jaret Wright have in common is that they started their careers in Cleveland....

The Yankees aren’t done with their Xmas list. Not yet. It’s rumoured that they’ve offered A.J. Burnett a 5 year deal. His agent is looking for something in the $90 mil range. I cannot possibly see that ending badly. *Cough* Jaret Wright/Carl Pavano *Cough* Jason Richardson was traded to the Suns, who’ve been looking for that [...]

Look, the Yankees already do a good enough job screwing up their team via free agency without needing help from outsiders. Think Carl Pavano and Jaret Wright for starters. Last year, the front office listened to the writers who suggested they start rebuilding their farm system and stay away from signings that plagued [...]

Freddy Garcia , RHP (10-5, 4.91) vs. Jaret Wright, RHP (5-5, 4.23). The final game of this highly anticipated series, and hopefully the Yankees will be going for a sweep. I cant see Ozzie Guillen getting swept by the Yankees, …[Continue Reading]

Paul Maholm shut down a Yankees lineup that was missing names like Jeter, Rodriguez and others, and the Pirates won, 8-0. Maholm went six shutout innings, allowing only two hits. He did walk three while only striking out two. Jaret Wright, Sean Burnett and Byung-Hyun Kim each added a perfect inning of [...]
