Or even convert Henn to a starter and keep Rasner in the pen... Or, hell, does anyone know if Aaron Small is alive? lol...

Just the other day they were coming out of the woodwork! Maybe seeing the mighty Rays whoop it up on the Yanks tonight cured everyone of their delirium. At this point, even if they came back strong, both Wang and Mussina wouldn't even be able to begin to turnaround this trainwreck of a pitching staff. I think Cashman needs to take a big part of the hit on this one. Ohlendorf instead of Micah Owings? True, Ohlendorf's initial numbers have been promising, but, remember, those are only minor league numbers. By contrast, look at what Owings is now doing for the D-Backs at the MAJOR LEAGUE level...He's already proving he can be an effective big league starter. Why didn't we get him, again?! He sure would have been a damn sight better than Karstens, Wright, Rasner or Igawa!!! Then, of course, there's Humberto Sanchez. We might as well have traded for Mark Prior! Sanchez has a permanently lame arm (or so it seems). Why was he the centerpiece of the Sheffield deal? Will he ever get (and stay) healthy enough for long enough to develop into anything? My guess is no. Does anyone remember Brien Taylor? Then there's the Yanks' so-called bullpen...Farnsworth, Vizcaino, Proctor, etc. Isn't Cashman to blame for this bunch? They can't stop anybody on a consistent basis. Heck, at this point they cough up batches of runs on a nightly basis! Now, I know people like to say they've been overworked, but no major league pitcher should be gassed after less than 20 games!!! I think you've got to start taking a hard look at the talent level. It's just not there...and Cashman (again) should take a lot of the blame for that. So, now we're left with putting Hughes in the line of fire because of all of Cashman's questionable moves...It's a complete joke. Between Torre's poor game management and Cashman's poor choice of talent...AARGH!!! It's so frustrating to be a Yanks' fan right now!

If you're a fan of baseball you just have to enjoy what you are seeing. I wish we were winning of course but that's another issue. Man would it be great if he broke the so called homerun record by Bonds. Maybe Alex can break all those records and clean the records, hope so. WOW, that’s the only way to describe Arod right now.

These gems win tonight's two most stupid comments. SLEEPWALKING???This offense leads the league last I saw and 8 runs and adozen plus hits won't hurt that tonight. And the ONE MAN TEAM has only 14 RBI if nobody else is getting on so as Girardi told Mikey K tonight several times - "you're full of it" Hey SJ44

“a team sleepwalking” and “he is a one man team”.
