A series in which the Yankees initially had to contend with the two good starting pitchers on a bad team has taken a fortuitous turn. The Yankees scored nine runs off Erik Bedard last night and Felix Hernandez has been scratched from his start today due to continued soreness from a right calf cramp he experienced during his last start. Instead, the Yankees will face Carlos Silva a day early and Hernandez will pitch against the Red Sox on Monday. Seems things are finally starting to break the Yankees' way this season.

Silva's always been a punching bag for the Yankees and enters this afternoon's contest with a 9.62 ERA in five career starts against the Bombers. Silva's faced the Yankees once every year since 2004, and the only start in which he gave up fewer runs than innings pitched came back in 2005, the best overall season of his career. Today marks Silva's second start of the year against the Yankees. In the last, he gave up eight runs in three innings including back-to-back home runs to Robinson Cano and Melky Cabrera which account for a third of the home runs he's allowed all season. Jarrod Washburn and his 6.99 ERA will go tomorrow as the M's take advantage of this past Monday's off day by moving Silva and Washburn up to normal rest.

Mike Mussina starts against Silva today. Moose broke a string of five great starts on Tuesday by turning in with the worst start of his career. The upside is that he only threw 41 pitches, thus enabling him to come back on three-day's rest to give tomorrow's starter, Chien-Ming Wang, suffering from a sore right calf of his own, an extra day off. Better still, Moose will be backed up by the second extended relief outing in Joba Chamberlain's conversion back to starting. If Moose goes five or six, you can expect Chamberlain to follow him into the game and pitch two or three frames, with the Yankees looking for a slight increase on the 35 pitches Joba threw in his last outing.

After three games against lefty starters motivating three starts by Shelley Duncan, the Yankee lineup against the righty Silva resets to it's default position.

Poking around the other blogs, there's some buzz about some upcoming roster moves. Wilson Betemit is eligible to return from the DL on Monday and will likely do so on schedule as he's playing rehab games with Scranton right now. Meanwhile, Jason Lane has an out in his contract that would allow him to become a free agent at the end of the month, which is now a week away. Finally, with Jorge Posada increasing his workouts and hoping for an early June return, Chad Moeller is trying engage Jose Molina in a battle for the backup job.

Pete Abe and Chad Jennings both wonder if Morgan Ensberg will make it to June in pinstripes. Pete thinks Ensberg, not Alberto Gonazalez, should be the one to go when Betemit returns. Jennings reports that Betemit is scheduled to start at second base today and thus assumes Gonzalez is the goner when Wilson returns, but wonders if Lane might take Ensberg's spot before that out in his contract comes due. Steve Lombardi contemplates Moeller-Molina.

Taking the last first, Moeller is 3 for his last 10, all singles and no walks, is hitting .255/.314/.362 on the season and is a career .225/.285/.347 hitter in the majors. Jose Molina is 3 for his last 13 with a double, but no walks, is hitting .205/.220/.307 on the season and is a career .240/.275/.342 hitter in the major leagues. Behind the plate, Moeller has thrown out 4 of 14 basestealers, allowed no passed balls, and committed two errors. In twice as many innings, Molina has thrown out 12 of 21 basestealers, allowed three passed balls, and comitted one error. The Yankees can't keep Molina if he's going to post a .220 OBP, but Moeller's not exactly tearing the cover off the ball. It's a situation worth watching, but things could change considerably before Posada's ready to return.

As for Lane, he has ten home runs and 31 RBIs for Scranton, but is hitting just .247 with a correspondingly low .333 on-base percentage. He's also still extremely redundant on a team with Shelley Duncan. Still, Lane's hit .274/.379/.521 in May with four homers and as many walks as Ks (11 of each in 21 games), and Morgan Ensberg is giving Molina a run for his money with a .205/.266/.247 season line which drops to .167/.242/.167 if you erase his first four appearances of the season. Ensberg is nice to have around so that the team can rest both Rodriguez and Jeter in blowouts, but that's not enough of a reason to keep a player who's otherwise useless. Ensberg hit .230/.320/404 between the Astros and Padres last year. That's a damn sight better than what he's doing this year and a damn sight better than Lane has hit in the major leagues since 2005, but it's still not enough to motivate his continued presence on the roster if there are viable alternatives given his performance thus far.

Alberto Gonzalez is hitting .214/.283/.262 on the season and is carrying a 13-at-bat hitless streak into today's game (he's walked once in that span). Gonzalez has yet to prove he can hit at triple-A. Then again, prior to his current slump he was hitting .310/.375/.379 over 12 major league games, and, unlike Ensberg, is a player the Yankees believe has a future with the franchise.

Given all of that, I'd give Ensberg another week to snap out of it, then give Lane his spot on the roster if he doesn't. Meanwhile, I'd option Gonzalez in favor of the activated Betemit and let Gonzalez get his feet under him at triple-A. If Lane scuffles as bad as Betemit and Gonzalez hits for Scranton, you can alway bring the Attorney General back up and pass Lane through waivers (which Ensberg is likely to do as well).

I'm excited for baseball again. It's funny what a 3 game winning streak does.

As I said before, that tailing fastball, ala Maddux, that Moose just struck Ichiro out on is by far my favorite pitch in baseball. So beautiful.

2 With Mo's cutter, there's the added feeling that you're seeing a kind of once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. You'll tell your grandchildren.

2 Mo's cutter is epically effective, but something about that fastball that starts at the hitter and tails over the plate combined with a punch out that just amazes me.

And speaking of tailing fastballs, I've NEVER seen such movement on his fastball before. That thing looks like an opposite curve today. I'm not even sure how you throw that.

4 man bench:
MUST have BUC and UINF: Betemin and Molina.
Lane -OR- Shelly
AGon -OR- Gardner -OR- (Lane/Shelly)
Since Cashman seems to want more AAA for Gardner, it's a question of AGons glove or (Lane/Shelly)'s bat.

I honestly think Ichiro caught the ball like that on purpose to piss off Yankee fans.
2008-05-24 10:35:23
9.   OldYanksFan
7 I like AGon because you can take ARod or Jeter out early in all big leads and actually improve defense. I think we should be sittin Jeter late in games as often as we can.

There was a ground-rule triple in place for the 1903 World Series. Due to overflow crowds, people were actually allowed to stand on the field along the outfield wall with a rope in front them. It was agreed by both teams (Pirates and Red Sox) that any ball that rolls under the rope into the crowd will be ruled a triple. In 8 games (the series was best-of-9), the teams combined for 25 triples.

Giambi's last triple was in 2002. That's been the only one he's hit for the Yankees.

Aw! I knew Joe would call off the dogs right now...

They are not gonna let Giambi try for the cycle!
2008-05-24 12:50:26
130.   OldYanksFan
Yikes! I say let Farns go for 2 IPs.
2008-05-24 12:50:58

WHERE'S GIAMBI?

I'm read to see what Lane has got. Anything at all would be more than Ensberg is bringing.

Rasner v. Olson (game 1)
IPK v. Burres (game 2)
Pettitte v. Guthrie (game 3)

Just win 2 out of 3 boys....

Ensberg, always with a great AB. Hope he takes those great ABs somnewhere else though. He's been terrible for the Yankees.
2008-05-24 12:52:49

Cycle alert canceled.

Stand down.

2008-05-24 12:54:42

Porno Giambi doesn't think getting lifted in favor of ensberg is groovy.
2008-05-24 12:57:24
137.   Chyll Will
Ha, the YES gun said 61 on his second pitch. I don't think Kyle knows numbers lower than 94...
2008-05-24 12:58:07
138.   Chyll Will
134 Think we could get a half-dozen bats for him?
2008-05-24 13:00:37
139.   Jeb
138 funny you should say that because I just read the following in transactions recently in the paper:

"Golden Baseball League CALGARY VIPERS-Traded RHP John Odom to Laredo (UL) for equipment"

2008-05-24 13:00:46
140.   Chyll Will
Okay, that was just fine and dandy...

Kyle Farnsworthless!
2008-05-24 13:03:01
142.   Chyll Will
139 Yeah, I was alluding to that.

Sigh. If Kyle's pitches had any semblance of movement, he'd be a dominant reliever. Instead, 2-Run homer to a slumping Richie Sexon...

2008-05-24 13:05:52
143.   Jeb
no golden sombrero for Sexton, but perhaps a golden shower for Farnsworthless. Ole!
2008-05-24 13:06:16
144.   OldYanksFan
I don't think we can allow Farns to be our 8th inning guy. So... who is it? Dorf? Veras? Not a lot of good choices.
2008-05-24 13:07:04
145.   OldYanksFan
143 Now that would make for a cool post game show!
2008-05-24 13:07:25
146.   Schteeve
Farnsworth drives me nuts, I irrationally want him to be good, and I always think he's just about to turn the corner.
2008-05-24 13:08:03
147.   Schteeve
144 I've been pretty cool with what I've seen out of Veras so far.
2008-05-24 13:08:30
148.   Simone
I guess, Torre wasn't the source of Farnesworth's problems. He just sucks.
2008-05-24 13:12:09
149.   OldYanksFan
I think Sanchez is the 8th inning guy when he's healthy. Is that later this year? August?
2008-05-24 13:14:04
150.   Jeb
149 not this season

Veras is looking pretty good.

Parity is effecting the umpiring as well, I suppose...
2008-05-24 13:19:16
153.   OldYanksFan
Now THAT'S funny!
2008-05-24 13:20:21
154.   Chyll Will
Are we quite certain the game is over now, or do the umps need to conference this one too?
2008-05-24 13:20:34
155.   Schteeve
What happened?
2008-05-24 13:24:21

I just want to beat my dead horse a little more, Jason Giambi leads the Yankees in OPS. Higher than A-Rod or Matsui.

155 The home plate ump punched out Beltre for the game ending strikeout. The Yanks lined up for their handshakes and "New York, New York" was playing.

But, as Beltre reminded the ump, it was only strike two.

It's really amazing how different a team the Sox are on the road vs. at home...
