Javelinas shutout Scorpions, 4-0

Last night, the Scorpions returned from their Sunday off day in less than amazing fashion, losing at home to the Peoria Javelinas, 4-0. In the game, I must say the Scorps played terrible. As a team, they managed just 3 hits, walked just four times, and obviously never scored a run. That is simply not productive. 

Yankees outfielder Mason Williams did get a hit in his 4 at-bats, a routine single. As for the Bombers pitchers who appeared in this one, James Pazos was the only one, pitching one inning and surrendering 1 run, the first one he's allowed this season.

Here is another quick poll asking you, the Yankees fans, who you want to see in pinstripes next season. You can keep it realistic and realize that Matt Garza is probably not coming to the Yankees or you can just simply get greedy and pick them all. Multiple votes allowed because we presumably need multiple starting pitchers to fill the void left behind from the likes of Phil Hughes, Hiroki Kuroda, and Andy Pettitte. Thank you in advance for the votes and your participation. 

This Day In New York Yankees History 10/29

On this day in 1920 the Yankees hired ex Boston red Sox manager Ed Barrow to be their General Manager. Over the next quarter of a century the Yankees would see 14 American League pennants and 10 World Series Championships while Barrow would see a Hall of Fame induction.

On this day in 1991 the Yankees hired Buck Schowalter to replace Stump Merrill as the Yankees manager. In four seasons, including the strike shortened 1994 season, Buck would compile a 313-268 (.539) record as a 36 year old manager. Buck would win the American League Manager of the Year Award and the AL East title in 1994 and would lead the Yankees to the playoffs in the first Wild Card series in 1995.

On this day in 2009 Derek Jeter would win the Roberto Clemente Award which is given to the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, and community involvement. Jeter would be the 3rd Yankees to ever win the award, Ron Guidry and Don Baylor the other two, and would join 13 Hall of Fame players with the award.

On this day in 2010 the New York Yankees signed Joe Girardi to a new three year deal to remain the Yankees manager through the 2013 season. In 2010, much like this offseason, the Cubs were rumored to be making a run at Girardi but in the end the Yankees kept him on their bench.

World Series Game 5: Open Thread

As the Cardinals say goodbye to Busch Stadium either way tonight we have this open thread for Game 5 of the 2013 World Series. This has been a great series thus far between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox that hopefully does not end any time soon. Well unless your Will Middlebuckner then you probably want this game over with ASAP.

Use this thread to leave your comments during the game or follow us on twitter by following @GreedyStripes where the conversation is always live. FYI we love to do predictions with our followers on Twitter so tonight I have the Red Sox winning this game 5-1 to send it home to Boston.

Falls Stars Game Will Include O'Brien & Williams

The Arizona Fall League All Star Game, the Falls Stars Game, will include two Yankees prospects in Mason Williams and Peter O'Brien. If you do not recognize the name it is because the game used to be called the Rising Stars Game but now it is the Fall Stars Game so new name but the game is still the same. This will technically be the 8th annual game for the Arizona Fall League and it will take place at 5:00 pm Arizona time on my birthday November, 2nd. The game will be televised on Saturday on MLB Network and can be heard and seen on MLB.com.

21 of the Top 100 prospects in all of Baseball, including Byron Buxton from the Twins, will be in the game so it should be a pretty interesting game to watch, prospect humper or not. CLICK HERE for the complete roster and write up from MLB.com

Yankees Moving High A Yankees From Tampa To Ocala

The New York Yankees have struck a deal that will move their High A Tampa Yankees affiliate from the Tampa St. Pete area to Ocala, Florida. The move will be around 100 miles and the new stadium in Ocala is supposed to cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $45,000,000 which is pretty steep for an A Ball affiliate in the minor leagues. Ocala, unlike Tampa, is in a richy rich part of Florida flush with rich horse owners, like the Steinbrenner family, and should create tons of revenue for the Yankees.

There will be a half of a cent tax hike over the next ten years to pay for the new baseball facility which will also be used for other things around the community. This is being presented at the Ocala City Council meeting tomorrow as it hopefully gets one step closer to becoming official. If everything goes as planned this move could happen as soon as Opening Day in 2016.

The Yankees will still hold Spring Training at George Steinbrenner Field, at least for the next 12 seasons anyway, and will still have their minor league complex down in Tampa. This is simply a move to increase revenue for the High A affiliate and if this deal goes through it surely will.

This Day In New York Yankees History 10/28

On this day in 1953 Red Barber quit his job as the broadcaster of the Brookyln Dodgers and would find a new job with the New York Yankees. The man nicknamed "The Old Red Head" was upset with Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley over money and lack of support.

On this day in 1979 Dick Howser replaces Billy Martin as the Yankees manager. Howser would lead the Yankees to a 103-59 record with an American League East championship although he was fired by George Steinbrenner when he was swept in the playoffs by the Kansas City Royals.

On this day in 2007 in the middle of Game 4 of the World Series between the Boston Red Sox and the Colorado Rockies we heard the news that Alex Rodriguez had opted out of his contract with the New York Yankees. The timing of the announcement as well as being a no show to receive the Hank Aaron Award, which honors the best offensive player in the league, did not sit well with MLB, Bud Selig, the fans, or the Yankees.
