It’s Time to Do Something

Well…at least Santana isn’t pitching great for the Mets. Makes me feel a bit better.
The question is…what needs to be done?

Send Hughes down?
Send Kennedy down?
Bring up a couple other kids that are pitching well…if any?
Put Joba in the rotation?
Test the market for Cano?
Where the hell is Pavano anyway?
Find an Aaron Small-like guy

 
 

You Get What You Pay For.

Well, that’s not always true, since Pavano cost the Yankees about $8M per win ($2.1M per start), but the Yankees decided to go with a Youth movement and there are growing pains associated with that.  Phil should not have been booed off the mound yesterday, but he should be sent down to AAA to work [...]

If this is home, it’s time for another Road Trip!

Speaking of location…. Hughes’ location was terrible.  Leiter made some interesting comments last night about Hughes’ lack of employing his change up and slider.  Those things might help a little, but the big problem last night was not locating his fastball.  The pitch he threw to Sheffield for example was as if he called Sheff [...]

Tin Man

For your sake Phil, I hope that clock on your chest is not counting down the hours you have left in the Yankee rotation.

Present and past

Present – good game last night, how often do you generate that many runs on infield hits and outs, and how many times do you get 4 solid innings of relief from 4 different NYY relievers. Unusual, but satisfying.
Past- Clemens. It took about 14 hours for Mistress McCready to rip Roger’s denial of “inappropriate activity” [...]

*sigh* of relief

Thank heavens that’s over.  Returning home now.  I think last night on the post game, I actually saw Mussina smile.  I think he was happy to get the win even though he admitted it was a “difficult 95 pitches.”  Mussina also said it’s been so long since he’s been home he doesn’t even “remember where [...]

DL

A-Rod to now make what is hopefully a brief stay on the DL.  Can we get everyone on the team that is not batting below .150 to make a trip to the DL.  Then my evil plan will be complete.

DL

That would be Disabled List for Posada and Dumb Lunkhead for Clemens. What is the statute of limitations on stautory rape in Massachusettes (Roger was with Red Sox at start of affair).  My knowledge of female country signing stars is extremely limited, but would you know Roger would pick one as a mistress who would [...]

Posada

This does not look good.  We are going to miss him.  Molina is a very good back up, but is he an everyday player?  Wang was great, and has been all year.  He has definitely added a pitch to his arsenal.  Anyone see the Daily News cover story? Looks like Roger has some more “esplainin” [...]

Posada gone for the year

My excitement for Wang was diminished by the news on Posada.  If there is a tear in the shoulder – we’ve lost him for the year.  I am not optimistic because Posada said he felt pain throwing down to third base after a strike out.  For Jorge to admit that he felt pain – forget [...]
