First, the nitty-gritty: Sidney Ponson throws six innings, gives up three runs on five hits, a walk and a strike out. That’s a win and a quality start. Bobby Abreu and Jason Giambi pick up six hits and five RBIs. Mariano Rivera gets a save and makes his first September appearance. The Yanks win and [...]

Triple-A Scranton has a 2-1 lead on Pawtucket in the first-round of the International League playoffs. Phil Hughes is supposed to pitch tonight. But like everywhere else in the northeast, so I hear, heavy rains are expected. This could have an impact on the Yankees to some degree. If Sidney Ponson gets knocked around again tonight, the [...]

So, Joe Girardi tell me again why Al Aceves does not have enough experience to replace either Darrell Rasner or Sidney Ponson in the New York Yankees starting rotation? I didn’t watch much of the game last night. I was busy live-blogging the New York Giants’ season-opening victory over Washington. That was a much better use [...]

Seattle: 54-85 Yankees: 74-64 GAMES Game 1: BRANDON MORROW !!! vs Andy Pettitte * Game 2: Ryan Rowland-Smith * vs Sidney Ponson (snicker) Game 3: Carlos Silva vs Mike Mussina Andy Pettitte is in the midst of another Andy Pettitte season. He's hitting the zone a little more often and missing a few more bats leading to a few more strikeouts and few less walks than 2007. But balancing that is a slight...

This gem from Peter Abraham’s blog during Tuesday night’s 7-2 victory over Tampa Bay. Joe Girardi was asked about Sidney Ponson staying in the rotation. Here was his response: “Right now our rotation is what it is. We haven’t talked about any changes. “He’s done it before. Obviously he didn’t have the sink yesterday that he’s necessarily has [...]

Sidney Ponson pitched better than Justin Verlander yesterday. Let that swish around for a bit, before you decide what to do with it. We've left trash cans around the room for you. And it's not like Ponson pitched a gem. He was terrible. He gave up seven runs (six earned) and nine hits (two of them homers) in just three innings. As Peter Abraham posted early this morning on The LoHud Yankees Blog ,...
