Ok, here it is.  Scott Proctor is an easy target and not the real issue on this team.  The Yankees are 36-38, that is 74 games, less than half the schedule. Here are Proctor’s numbers:
39 appearances, 41.1 innings, 36 Hits, 3.48 ERA, 4 HR allowed, 22 BBs and 27 Ks. 
Proctor walks too many batters.  But the [...]

John S is calling a player “Moron”.  I think that may have been the first time I recall seeing legitimate frustration in John’s posts.  Generally, you have the “back in the day” quality or the veiled disgust with play.  But open hostility… Uh oh… 

I went to a Yankee game in Camden Yards late last season. Yankee Stadium South, I think 3 of our starters were benched for a rest and we still won no problem. But this year……
Last night was awful. The dropped “After you, Alphonse” fly ball in right center. Proctor showing he caught the pop up [...]

Can Mariano pick up the phone and call Torre to give him a clue?  If you give up a run, you lose.  Mo has not pitched.  You are perfectly willing to bring him into games with 4 and 5 run leads, but not willing to bring him in when you need to shut the other [...]

The Yankees will not concede the season.  Cashman will make whatever pointless moves he can.  I can’t see what moves, in season, will help.  As a matter of fact, I only see making in-season moves as hurting at this point because those moves are not constructive in terms of putting a team together that can [...]

John, I couldn’t agree with you more.  I believe the Yankees will make some moves.  They won’t give up on the season.  I’m not sure the season is salvageable, but Cashman will feel forced to do something.  I hope he doesn’t mortgage the future.  And he better not sign anyone over the age of 35 [...]

Russ: If you are suggesting that Steinbrenner is going to concede the season after committing $18.9 Million to Clemens you are losing your mind.
The season may well be lost, but Yankee management isn’t going to sit idle while the drama unfolds. They WILL make moves.
That’s not to say that making pointless moves is the right thing [...]

fix this team.  I am convinced.  All is lost.  This team cannot possibly contend for a playoff spot.  Torre has lost his freaking mind.  He is out where the buses do not run.  I don’t know what the explanation is for last night’s 9th innning.  Usually I would say, do not bring Mo in a [...]

At this point, Cashman needs to make some moves to attempt to save the season. Then if that doesn’t pan out, he (or someone else) will need to prep for next year.
I would possibly try to work something out with the Mets:
1) Farnesworth and Abreu for Green and Schoeneweis? (Green can play first or right field and [...]
