NY Post: Girardi says Yankees need some more offense
“I think it will be helpful,” Girardi said of potentially adding another hitter. “I think we’ve had a good offseason, [but] I think it’s important to our club that you add that other bat.”
General manager Brian Cashman is looking for a designated hitter to replace recently traded Jesus Montero. Former Yankees Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui are among the free-agent possibilities.
“Johnny has been a great player for a long time,” Girardi said. “There’s been a bunch of names talked about, and they’re all good players. [Raul] Ibanez, he’s had a great career, and Matsui has had a great career. Obviously, we know what Johnny and [Matsui] have meant to this organization and Ibanez has had success wherever he’s been. ...”
Well, except when he started out in Seattle. But that was like 12 years ago - he’s just hitting his stride now.

I’m hoping all this Ibanez talk is just posturing, pushing Damon to accept his market value.
Walking Dead please. He’s got one more season of bus crushing left. I hope.
We should sign Manny and Maglio as homage to the days of Jose and Glenallen.
Do you think Glenallen roided just a little?
[4] I was in the bleachers at this game, when Hill hit a cracked-bat home run. Yeah…he might’ve had a little juice in him.
some writer once said of Gary Sheffield that he was such a good hitter, he took steroids and got worse.
Giambino !!
What time does the SB drunkblog start, and do we get a new thread ?
(8) didn’t it just start?
I thought you guys would have heard by now…football season was canceled three weeks ago. :(
[5] Polonia and I took a couple high school chicks to the prom.
I had completely forgotten that Polonia was on the 2000 Yankees until I saw that link. I guess all that beer DID have an effect on me then….
Best prop bet I’m on: New York Giants win the Super Bowl and NYY wins the World Series (+1000).
I just had the strangest feeling we’ve done this before. Deja Blue !
I have a local bar here in Copenhagen that shows American football, and they’re having a big party there tonight. Taking tomorrow off to trip the beer fantastic tonight. It would be so, so sweet if New York can deliver another heartbreaker.
I only wish there was a way that Baltimore could have played Tampa for knock out New England last week.
What the hell was that? No protection at all
Somebody won big on the prop bet first score: safety. I’m hoping it was SicSemper.
No pressure at all on Brady yet unlike 2008
[18] It was 40/1 on the sheet. I didn’t take it, but I was defiitely thinking about it.
Better make some adjustments in halftime. That drive was embarrassing.
The Giants really should not be trailing.
I wonder if that tight rope guy ever dreamed this would happened when he decided to go into tight ropery.
Watching that drive was like watching AJ pitch in the fifth inning of a close game.
They are getting whatever they want. This is like a replay of the previous drive.
the shotgun draws are fucking killing me.
Dear god, one stop. Please oh please, one stop.
wheeeeeeeeeeee giants!
What. A. Game.
Cannot believe it happened twice.
Heh, just got up from my pregame nap. TV is showing Undercover Boss.
What channel is the game on ?
I’m crying tears of joy here lads.
Congrats to those here who care. I took advantage of the SB to go to our favorite sushi restaurant, which was empty, so I’m happy too. I guess that’s why they gave my kids a huge bowl of flying fish roe, which for some reason they love.
Between the chicken eating spectacular fuckups in Fenway and the choking dogs in Foxboro, this is a banner year for Boston. Oh, yes, the Bruins, like anyone cares…also, BC sucks.
Hoboken has been crazy Hugging everyone. So much love. Bring it Yankees!
It just felt exactly like 2008, those last few minutes. Unbelievable.
4 years ago…I was at the game…this time very nervous at my home-field party. So awesome…...Go Yankees too in 2012!!!!
Gints!
oh dear god yes. so very yes.
Hehe
WE STOMPED THEM OUT
