When I posted that video of Dallas Braden where he basically threatened to fight A-Rod, I wondered how A-Rod's teammates would feel about his comments. Well, now we know: "He's a clown," CC Sabathia said of Braden. "Guy says he's from the 209, what the is that? That's where I'm from, and I don't know what he's talking about. Two-oh-nine.

Why Javier Vazquez Should Be Traded by Yankees Right »
Joe Girardi refused to endorse Javier Vazquez. This was in response to his lousy outing last Saturday afternoon. Not surprisingly, Girardi skipped Vazquez's turn last night.
