Yankees can not afford to once again put out the welcome mat for a Homeless team.

Grisham sits on Mother's Day?????

Here's hoping every mother's son will get at least one hit for the Yankees today.

Good chance this is our last look at Vivas for awhile.

Yarbrough, P -- 0-0, 3.72*

*mlb.com and yankees.com have the starting pitcher listed as TBD, despite the lineup having been listed. Not sure what that's about, but Boone did at one point say it was Yarbrough or Winans. No roster moves announced. TBD can't pitch worse than yesterday's relievers.

Rice catching Matzek? Not great experience.....so few pitches get past the hitters.

Vivas only one hitless.....he must be "not of woman born."

Replying to

in the last few weeks he has actually raised his BA over forty points. OBP is up to over .320 which would be great for him

OPS+ up to 109+

he IS awfully streaky. and it is annoying that nobody seems too interested in solving his fundamental problem, but he is giving signs of making a noticeable offensive improvement this year

i am still not ready to say they should be looking at any extensions, but despite a recent grouping of costly errors he is still an excellent defender and currently an average or better hitter

WOW!! JDom goes out of the zone not once but twice. was he a little bit too excited facing the fella who allowed his GS?

any surprise no pinch runner for Judge? or they feel they need to let him play another inning of defense? as a coach I never wanted to be too quick to take the foot off the gas

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
