We lost Mo and we lost Gardner, but we’re still winning. We don’t need you to feel sorry for us. We don’t want anybody to feel sorry for us. We want you to save your pity and your sorrow for your team. Unless, of course your team has 27 World Series Championships. Do they? No, you don’t? Oh, too bad for you. We feel sorry for you and your team.

Has Harper ever thrown a bat shard at a runner?

Paul O’Neill was rather popular.

I’m starting to get the feeling that he’s not coming back this year.

The Yankees don’t have enough to get Harper. Suggest a reasonable return for Kemp.

Yankees should just take Harper from the nats or kemp from the dodgers to replace Gardner.

This really hurts. Gardner is essentially the entire Yankees running game. The team has played well of late but you gotta hope this guys comes back sometime before the season ends.

This has really been secretly rather devastating for the Yankees.

Believe it or not, Gardner had accumulated roughly 15 fWAR in his first 450 games as a Major League player, which is tremendous. That’s about what Carlos Gonzalez and Justin Upton did, two players whose stars shine much brighter.

Raul Ibanez has flashed some decent power, but he’s been pretty awful with the glove, in line with expectations. He wasn’t signed to play the field; it’s not his fault.

Andruw Jones has started to come along a little, and is a useful player, but he’s obviously not his younger self.

It’s probably a 3 to 3.5 win hit if Gardner can’t come back, which is substantial.
