Recently , I came across a post on the Juiced Sports Blog which lists the 100 most valuable sports blogs (http://juicedsportsblog.com/2008/05/top-100-valuable-sportsblogs.html).
Since The Sam I Am sports blog is powered by Blogger it doesn't qualify.
Hopefully one of these days I will get around to actually getting MY site ( www.samiamsports.com ) up and running. When that day comes, look out Blogging world cause I'm gonna be on top. ( I wish ).

LETS GET IT STARTED!!!
Joba Chamberlain is on the fast track to being the newest member of the Yankees rotation. To be quite frank, I couldnt be more thrilled.
Going into last nights game, the plan was to have Joba throw around the 50 or so pitch mark . With that being said, I dont know what took so long to put him in the game. I know Pettitte was coasting and looked like the Andy of old , but still a plan is a plan.
Then after Joba was just flat out dominant in striking out two in the eighth, there is no reason to bring in Mariano. Especially if he was supposed to throw a certain amount of pitches. Just because it was a save situation , it doesn't mean you must use the closer.?.?.?
Its not like the Yankees put in Mo in place of Farnsworth. In that case I would agree with you.
In the situation the Yankees were in last night where Joba is supposedly building up stamina and arm strength you not supposed to take him out. (Was Joe not confident that Joba could have finished the game?.) Joba did finish his pitches in the pen , but as we all know in game pitching is allot more effective than a bullpen session. I think Girardi lost sight of the greater good and succumbed to good 'oll managerial pressure.
You guys are probably thinking that I'm nitpicking at a solid Yankee win and your probably right , but this was on my head and I had to vent. Oh By the way Giambi is a monster. No matter how many times he gets written off he always bounces back .

SOME THOUGHTS ON NOT TRADING IPK THIS PAST OFF SEASON
I know there is nothing we could do about it now. But its very frustrating to see Kennedy go out their start after start and not get the job done. Its not like I didn't say this in the past, the Yankees had a golden opportunity to trade IPK this past off season. His trade value was through the roof and higher than it ever will be again. Hind sight vision is always 20/20 but its not like I'm changing my views on this topic, (you could go look through my previous posts.)
I'm not even going to delve into the Johan Possibilities but we could have definitely gotten something better than what we are getting now.
I pray that this kid over the course of time turns out to be at least half of what he was advertised but as of right now, my hair is turning gray.
