BYB PRESENTS: YANKEE SHORTS #8

10. Out of the Blue

Never imagined this one!  An acquisition worth talking about…You know the one that landed Ichiro Suzuki in the pinstripes, read HERE. This is a huge addition especially in lieu of all the injuries that plagued the Yanks this season. Very nice cushion as we move forward to Oct! Welcome to the Bronx Ichiro!!

9. Say it Ain’t So, Mo

Losing Mariano Rivera sent chills through Yankee Nation. But Mo quickly eased our minds by saying he wasn’t going out like that however his return to the Yanks is now questionable….WHAT?  Rivera recently stated “I don’t even know if I want to play next year. I don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring. One day at a time”, Read HERE. Please Say it Ain’t So!  I can only hope that Mariano will continue to rehabilitate and that over time those Pin Stripes will weigh heavy on his mind!

8. Here We Go Again

Another one Bites the Dust seems to be the theme of the 2012 Yanks, Unfortunately!  Adding ARod to the growing list of disabled is enough to make you shake your head! Read HERE. With this said we must remember there is an equal positive for every negative. The positive is the Yanks are on top of their division regardless of the hurdles they’ve faced. It appears this team is tough and eager for a ring!

7. Humanitarians 

Robinson Cano and David Robertson were honored in Trenton for their respective charities. MVP foundation gave the charities $25,000 each. Read HERE. It’s great to see these Yankee phenomenon’s donate their time and fame to help others. Check out these charities and help if you can. Don’t forget to buy the famous Bleeding Yankee Blue shirt. It’s stylishand helps the High Socks for Hope Charity!

6. Dazed and Confused

The crowd roars boo in Oakland when Nick Swisher steps to the plate! Swish scratches his head on this one. Can’t understand why you are hated there? Read HERE. Well Swish here is two reasons. #1- You don’t know what you got til it’s gone!  #2- Haters come with the Yankee uniform.  Just grin and bear it because you are the man Nick!

5. Take a Hike Spike

OK Yankee fans this one is from a couple weeks ago however I think it should make the shorts list. Stating Spike Lee caught Mark Teixeira’s bat is a bit scripted, read HERE. Technically he recovered the bat after it fell in front of him. An excited Spike showed his enthusiasm by demonstrating his baseball swing. Let’s just say you don’t need to quit your day job! Besides we all know that Jay Z is the ultimate Yankee fan!

4. Conspiracy Theory?…Don’t Think So

Where’s Wally the Green Monster? (Read HERE)  First of all let’s make this clear the Yankees don’t know and don’t care!  It’s comical that the buzz about the missing monster resulted in a conspiracy by the Yanks to distract the Sox.  Wow!  Let me help you out here....The last time I checked the standings you Red Sox have bigger concerns than Wally. Just Sayin'! Wally was found, read HERE, but this silly story was all over the net!

3. BYB's Favorite GIF

We're not fans of Buck Showalter these days so we stumbled across this GIF file of Buck Showalter in an awkward moment after a missed "five". It's actually kind of funny, so enjoy it.

2. Camp CC

Calling all Youth….CC Sabathia is set to visit Verona High School in NJ on Aug 2^nd to host a youth baseball camp. Read HERE. The camp will focus on the fundamentals of baseball! Thanks to CC for giving our youth such a great opportunity.

1. Super-Human

The return of Joba Chamberlain may be sooner than ever expected. We all know Joba has faced his fair share of adversity however he has consistently climbed back to the top. Read HERE. Cashman stated he "has been doing great'' noting that “He’s been hurt, he gets hurt a lot, but then his recovery time is like super-human." This is definitely great news for the Yankees especially going in to the post season!
