Agreed, this was disgusting, I mean he couldn't even give me an "eh, so so" start?!?! He gets BOMBED. It seems like EVERY start has been like that this year except for one in Tampa earlier in the year. He's god awful1

It's too bad he won't be sent down, and even worse that even if he did, he wouldn't get his ass kicked by the 24 other guys in the lockerroom like he deserves. What a useless asshole. Gutless bitch. He's lucky some of us here don't own the team, that's for damn sure.

Kennedy: “I’m just not real upset”

Ian Kennedy gave up more hits (nine) than he got outs (six). But he didn’t think he pitched poorly.

“I felt like I made some good pitches,” he said. “I’m not too upset about it. … What was it, a bunch of singles and three doubles? I’m just not real upset about it. I’m just going to move on and I’ve already done that.”

Those comments will not be popular among his teammates or within the front office.

Joe Girardi said after the game that Kennedy is in the rotation and needs to pitch better against the Twins on Wednesday. But what Kennedy said tonight could change that.

It’s important to have a short memory when you’re a major leaguer. We’ve heard Mariano Rivera and Derek Jeter say that 1,000 times. It’s quite another to get shelled and act like it doesn’t matter. Andy Pettitte would have been trying to drown himself in the whirlpool after a game like that.

It will be interesting to see how Girardi handles this. There are plenty of managers who would put the rookie on the first flight back to the minors.

Meanwhile, the Yankees turn their lonely eyes to Dan Giese for a nationally televised game against Fox tomorrow. Hold on tight, this road trip is just getting started.

UPDATE, 2:56 p.m.:  Joe Girardi gave Ian Kennedy a pass on his comments last night, or at least that’s what he said. “Players react in different ways,” he said. “I know he was upset.” Girardi did say he planned to meet with Kennedy to talk about his start.

Girardi was asked whether Kennedty was starting on Wednesday. “He’s in our rotation,” he said. Girardi was then asked whether Kennedy would pitch on Wednesday. “We’ve done this dance before,” he said. “He’s in our rotation.”


None of the other players wanted to comment on what Kennedy said. Asked if he had seen the quotes, Mike Mussina nodded. “Yes,” he said. “I have no comment on the comments. That wouldn’t be right.”



Kennedy is a f*cking stupid cu*t. Seriously, this guy doesn't get it. He needs to go right back down to AAA.

And Girardi is a total jackass. This guy is a joke. What a mistake hiring this guy. A big mistake, he is not cut out for this job in this city. He's softer than Joe Torre.

Rip the uniform off him and throw the bitch out on the street. Little cumstain. This guy is a joke, a f*cking waste. And nice job not getting anything for him when he had value.

Kennedy followed up an awful outing with asinine postgame quotes. The best thing would be to include him as part of a package for a need to an NL team. He may have a chance there. I don't give up on youngsters early, but he's been terrible, and I hate his attitude.

I just hope he hasn't ruined his trade value.

He's done this a couple times now. They need to get him out of my sight. I hate his face.

He got sent down...he apologized saying he meants things to come out differently (yada yada yada). Apparently Pettitte and others had a word with him.

When you say something dumb after a bad start once, I can see maybe saying things came out wrong. This is the second time this asshole has said something dumb. Time to move on from him. He's garbage.

I wonder if he and Igawa hang out. Maybe they can go clubbing in A Whales Vagina next year when they are both playing for the Padres.

What'd I say, 3 earned in 29 innings? To keep pace, he'll pitch 8 scoreless next time.

Did he only use breaking balls?

He threw 28 curveballs.

When they told him to use his breaking ball no matter the count, they didn't mean throw the breaking ball and nothing else! Why did everybody think that? :???:

People lack the ability to use simple reading comprehension skills, Rob. They want him working on his offspeed and breaking pitches, which everyone concludes means no fastballs.

YB's thread title was misleading. And, wishful thinking.
