Winning 15 games for 20 years...I’m afraid it is shelved right by pitching both complete games of a double header and hitting .400.

Thanks for posting, Noetsi. Interesting that he's faced three father-son combos -- the Delino Deshields, the Eric Youngs and Raul and Adalberto Mondesi. Plus soon to come the Vlad Guerreros.
Before the injuries kicked in, CC had a realistic chance to be the last 300 game winner. The 5 man rotation and the limits on IP have diminished the role of the starter. Soon enough 200 will be the new 300, if it isn't already.

I really do miss the vanishing concept of the game-winning starter. Whether or not it represents maximal efficiency in the position, I loved the year after year sturdy hurlers compiling their victories. I would rather see one guy go 24-9 than three guys go 8-3. Just my own potty little personal preference. It enhanced my pleasure in the game. |

The Yanks will certainly miss the Big Man in the lockerroom, hopefully the Yanks send him out with a second World Series ring.

Gardner may join mattingly as a Yankee who played a long career with us and did not make it to the WS. Well hopefully we get there this year.

I thought he started playing in the majors after 2009
Now I won't feel sorry for him.
