I’m almost at the end of my rope with Girardi. As Peter is pointing out more and more lately, his decisions seem like sabotage-~~not playing Damon, putting off Joba’s return~~-these are only the latest in a long line of strange choices. I had an uneasy feeling right from the start when he messed around so much with the lineup, but I cut him slack, figuring he was finding his groove.

Someone else commented the irony of Torre being gone if the Yankees don’t make it to the playoffs for the first time in 14 years, while the Torre-led Dodgers…well, I hope I am wrong.

If you’re going to bat for Molina, do so with Pudge. Sub Giambi for Sexson, not Betemit. Say what you will about Giambi, his defense has been above average this year and he is a ntural first baseman who may have gone for the ball and not the bag.

It’s do or die time starting right now and with the yankees having their two best on the dl, we have serious problems. Imagine if Mussina wasn’t having a comeback year? – 15 would be 9 and 4 out of the wild card would be 9 – No one would be talking about the playoffs.

Bottom line – I’m disappointed, injuries I can understand, but I still feel this team can do better and getting swept now shows no heart.

“Well Torre donâ€™t look so bad now does he?”

Although it was time for the old man to step down, how bad does that look if the Yanks don’t make it to October and Clueless Joe does in LA – with Mattingly in tow no less!

“Secondly, why is everyone assuming that [Tex] will be so easy to sign.”

Ditto with Sabathia

I’ve been saying this since 2004 and I’ll say it again:

The baseball gods – for whatever reason – don’t like the Yankees.

Agreed…a few supestars (aka Vlad, Hunter) + awesome pitching and role players…hmm that sounds familiar…let me see Jimmy Key, Andy Pettitte of old, David Cone, El Duque, Scott Brosius, Shane Spencer, Karim Garcia, Ruben River, Jeter, Williams, O’Neill and Tino…some superstars, some role players, but not an all-star (aka overpaid) player at every position.

I still don’t think we are that far away though.
