Nick Swisher & Andy Pettitte recently took part in a AT&T New York Yankees commercial shoot. I’m sure you guys all remember Posada and Girardi filming that MLB Extra Innings commercial for DirectTV a while back. I have no idea when this commercial will air, but I’m excited to see it. As you can see from the videos, the commercial shoot took place at Richmond County Bank Ballpark along the waterfront in St. George (the home of the Staten Island Yankees).

I shared my thoughts on the state of the Yankees over the last five years over at WasWatching.com. This is what I had to say:
From those who were 19 years old or younger when the Yankees last won a ring in 2000:
From Kevin of Zell’s Pinstripe Blog answering the question “How would you describe the state of the Yankees over the the last five years?” –
Over the last five years the New York Yankees have gone after the wrong players. It’s not bad to go after big name players, but you need to go after the right guys. Sheffield over Guerrero? Big Unit over Beltran? The Yankees won in the 1990’s with clutch players who were hungry to win. They weren’t all about the big bucks. The idea over the last five years was to buy everyone they could. I don’t blame the organization for trying to get the Yankees back on top, but spend the money wisely. Don’t just get a player just for the sake of bringing in a big name. Get a player who will help benefit the team and is devoted to winning a World Series ring. Some other mistakes they made…Kevin Brown, Jaret Wright, Javier Vazquez, Raul Mondesi, Kei Igawa, Clemens. (in ‘07) These moves just didn’t make sense. The Yankees finally made the right moves this off-season. They brought in the two best pitchers out on the free agent market. (Sabathia, Burnett) They obtained Mark Teixeira to play first base, which is a big upgrade over Jason Giambi. They finally have a legitimate top of the line rotation, and have depth in the minor leagues. They haven’t had that for a long time now. They improved their defense as well. They have a gold glove winning player at first base, and they will have either Gardy/Melky playing in CF over Damon. If this isn’t the year they win it all, then I don’t know when it will come…
