Comments on: Game 19: Yankees at Orioles http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/19/game-19-yankees-at-orioles/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:48:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Larry Mahnken http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/19/game-19-yankees-at-orioles/comment-page-16/#comment-317822 Larry Mahnken Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:05:00 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/19/game-19-yankees-at-orioles/#comment-317822 <blockquote>Personally, I feel sorry for Larry the gameday dude, who has to suffer and record down every play of this heinous loss.</blockquote>Ehh, it's not so bad. Doing the work takes a little of the emotion out of the game. You're watching it in a different way than you normally do anyway (looking for runners in motion, seeing who touched the ball, checking to see if the ump signaled for a foul tip), which also helps. They always seem to lose when I'm working, but trying to stay professional helps keep the emotions in check.

I can't believe this. Its like the Yankees and Manny are on opposite ends of the universe. Manny Ramirez is playing out of this world baseball right now. I can’t believe this.

I really still think Hughes and Kennedy will be fine. Right now there is just way too much pressure on them. The Yankees have a third starter who is washed up and an offense that is producing nothing... The only way Ian Kennedy wasn't going to get slapped with a loss tonight was if he went out there and shut them out. I think he has the ability to do that, but that's just too much pressure for a rookie pitcher. And Ian Kennedy isn't stupid, he probably knew tonight after the first inning or two that the offense was going to give him basically nothing to work with.

ANSKY: I don't normally drink, but I am a member of a religion where it's a <i>mitzvah</i> to drink s---loads of wine on holidays such as passover :-D SJ: Thanks much for that insight =) Sorry I randomly disappeared, a friend invited me to a seder and I felt a couple horus away from baseball would be goo for me.

Rasner has had his chance before as a starter and he's never looked good. And if you call up someone else for Hughes that's silly because you'll have the same development problem with a pitcher who isn't even as highly touted. If Joba can be the starter everyone thinks he can be, you can live with Hughes and Kennedy in the rotation. The problem right now is the top 3, because the Yankees really only have 2 starters to depend on. Frank, I agree with having Joba replace Moose, but Kennedy and Hughes?

That is, Cashman needs to go. With him as GM, Yankees will not have another WS title or even division championship. There is only one thing is certain at Yankees.
