Comments on: Now that one hurts http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/08/01/now-that-one-hurts/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:45:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lauren http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/08/01/now-that-one-hurts/comment-page-7/#comment-471537 Lauren Sat, 02 Aug 2008 16:36:16 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/08/01/now-that-one-hurts/#comment-471537 Jason Giambi is KILLING us right now and what's worse, he's taking ARod's bat out of the lineup. Melky had a great catch and all last night but I had almost forgotten he was on the team. Will we have to wait until September to see Austin Jackson? I say give him a shot now. And Cano is completely lost at the plate again. Ugh, I pray they pull something together today because this series could get REALLY ugly. Last night was absolutely brutal. Pete, right now you're probably lining up your tailgate playlist and icing down your beer - have a GREAT time at the show tonight!!

I know most wont agree but the Yankees have to sign Manny Ramirez next year. Manny-3 and A-rod-4 would be the best 3-4 hitters in the game. The Yankees could deal with his attitude. Im sure Manny would love to go the Yankees and get back at the Redsox. The Yankees need this guy in that pathetic lineup. This offense is absolutely pathetic.

I know alot of people wont agree but the Yankees have to sign Manny Ramirez next year. Manny 3rd and A-rod 4th would be the best 3,4 in baseball. The team could put up with his attitude. Hes just to good a hitter and someone the Yankees desperatley need in that pathetic lineup. This offense really is pathetic.

I’m talking about bringing in some new faces and getting rid of the rotting crap on the Yankees, not moving to a new team." Yes, you are actually. Because a lot of the changes you're demanding can't be made, or don't make any sense. “Green Beret – kiss my expletive.

Rivera is a pitcher to save a lead. New Joe looks like Old Joe in managing pitchers.

Anytime the offense doesn't score a single run, it's their fault. Completely and utterly. How dare anyone blame Mariano. Anytime the offense doesn’t score a single run, it’s their fault.

However, I do want to see a lot of young players with fight in them." Matsui needs to go, too. His knees keep barking up, can't play the outfield anymore. He is only useful as a DH. A very expensive, slow DH. Build him up, make people think he is a capable outfielder. YOUNG BLOOD. More stealing. If Gardner could figure out how to get on base he would easily replace Melky. “I agree that Giabi and Damon need to go but I’m not so sure about Matsui.
