Pathetic is right.

We are all saying the same thing.  The offense lost this series.  What bothers me, with Swisher and Tex in particular, is that they refuse to adjust their approach when it is obvious to everyone that they are being pitched away. Selfish or stupid? Or both?
Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done with [...]

Definition of Insanity

Pitching didn’t lose this series – the offense did. A-rod, Tex, Swisher, Jeter and Martin were absolutely terrible in this series. Posada and Gardner were the only fairly consistent players. Cano had a lot of offense but he was crushing mistakes and they pitched around him because A-rod and Tex were [...]

Contrast

Posada- battling to the end (his possible career end as well), breaking down after the game, that’s a Yankee.
A-Rod- Hollywood dating, recovering steroid using choke artist. Mild profanity from him in his post game interview. I kidded about it last week, but the guy deserves to bat eighth.
Bad for me, my daughter’s getting married next [...]

Not really a surprise…..

I know yesterday I wrote that I had a good feeling about the offense, but we all know that if we don’t hit… that’s it. It seems for two seasons now, we’re just always searching for pitching. I mean, that A-Rod bases loaded at bat was the whole season, I knew it. [...]

Game Five

Don’t know why – I have confidence in Nova. I think the bats will bring it home.
Fister. I know his record in the second half is very good, good ERA, everything. His record came against second division teams, and here’s the key part: The Yanks have seen him and saw him [...]

Let’s play today!

What no one talks about is that lineup is tailor made for Burnett. Righthanded up and down, he should be able to navigate that lineup. However, I give him credit because he would have been vilified and driven right out of town had he not pitched well.
The thing I always worry [...]

Mixed emotions

Burnett got the win. Facts are facts. He walked too many, threw too many in the dirt (he’s going to shorten Russell Martin’s career), and got lucky when wickedly hit balls were fielded. But he got the win.
I listened to Sterling (no time delay with 880 radio and TBS for some reason). I did not [...]

Lumber or slumber, baby

Let’s just say that Gerry Davis had an interesting interpretation of the strike zone. It widened when he punched Swisher out on strikes, but it was tight for both guys.
AJ tonight —- oh boy. Getting my Psych 101 book off the shelf tonight.
We’ve got to forget all that. Look, [...]

Bring on the Twins

Let’s face it – more often than not unless we draw the Twins in the first playoff round – if it’s the Tigers or Angels, the Yanks do not fare well. CC left his best stuff in the two innings in the rain storm Friday, and the strike zone last night was as small as [...]

Nice pitch selection, Soriano

Our fate is in your hands, AJ.  I was listening to B&C this morning and they had John Flaherty on.  He expects AJ to be pulled after only 3 innings tonight.  Throw in Hughes and Wade to try to get to Robertson and Mo.  That’s a rough prediction, though he does expect the Yankees to [...]
