If you happened to be listening to WCBS 880 last night when Derek Jeter was hit with a pitch in the 8th inning of the Yankees 5-2 win in Seattle, you undoubtedly heard Suzyn Waldman let out a couple of sighs.
Jerry Recco began his first update of the morning by rehashing everything that when on during the Yankees 5-2, rubber-game win over the Mariners yesterday afternoon in Seattle.
Craig called today a very special day, especially here in New York City. Both the Super Bowl Champion NY Giants and their AFC counter part, the NY Jets both open up their training camps today
Pinch-hitter Jayson Nix lined a three-run double off Seattle reliever Shawn Kelley in the eighth inning, and the New York Yankees rallied for a 5-2 win over the Mariners on Wednesday to complete a 2-5 West Coast trip.
Since Alex Rodriguez will be out of the Yankees line up for six to eight weeks, Brian Cashman will need someone to fill his role.
The news on Joba has been good. Really good.
Ichiro Suzuki last played in meaningful games in the final weeks of the regular season more than 10 years ago. Now he's playing for a team that is disappointed when it doesn't win a World Series title.
It doesn't get much worse than this for a Major League Baseball star. Insult, then injury.
Even as Alex Rodriguez writhed on the ground in pain, he didn't believe his left hand was fractured. Turns out A-Rod was wrong, and now the Yankees will be without another of their star players.
A gal by the name of Dorka gave Boomer and Craig a call this morning to take the Dynamic Radio Duo to task for their, what she classified as, mockery of Suzyn Waldman.
As entertaining as they always are, you always seem to learn something from Jerry Recco's updates, which is why I often refer to them as 'informative and entertaining'.
MLB's best team just got better. Yes, we're talking about the Yankees. And yes, they're atop Evan's weekly rankings.
Mets fans are upset and feeling sorry for themselves these days because the club has lost 10 of their last 11 games, falling 5 1/2 games behind in their chase for a playoff spot.
Suzuki is the most recognizable athlete in Japan, where he is revered for his stoicism, perseverance and attention to detail.
This doesn't go into the overkill category that "trade-for-ARod-and-make-him-a-third-baseman" seemed in 2004. But but trading for Ichiro Suzuki definitely felt like a Yankee move.
Ichiro is a Yankee and Joba Chamberlain's return is just around the corner. But there's one guy fans shouldn't expect to see again this season: Mariano Rivera.
Ichiro Suzuki has a new team and, after all these years, maybe a shot at playing in the World Series. "I am going from a team with the most losses to a team with the most wins," he said. "It's hard to contain my excitement for that reason."
Ichiro Suzuki switched teams in Seattle after a momentous trade and singled his first time up with the New York Yankees during their 4-1 victory over the Mariners on Monday night.
Today Jerry Recco elected to include himself in his highly anticipated 'Moment of the Day', which is perfectly fine considering it is 'his' MOTD.
With Ichiro Suzuki officially becoming a member of the Yankees yesterday, inevitably Craig got to wondering what the legendary John Sterling might utter when the newest Bomber hits one 'high, far and gone'?
With all due respect to Jerry Recco and his contributions to the Morning Extravaganza, but on a day like today, his updates practically write themselves.
Whatever problem the Yankees appeared to have in the outfield is likely no longer an issue.
