Arod can do no right in most peoples eyes, unreal. He gets a hit and it's still his fault. Who here wasn't thinking double out of the box? Overbay made a great play. Arod didn't run out of the box because he wasn't sure where the ball was, it was sort of off the end of the bat. We've seen guys do that a million times, but Arod gets bashed for not hustling out of the box. Lame. Then we have so called fans hoping that Hughes pitches Sturday and gets shelled so that will prove that he really isn't any good and never will be. First of all, judging a guy on one start is stupid, but that's par for the course around here and second to hope that a Yankee fails, some Yankee fan. Unreal. More and more ridiculous posts tonight.

Anyway now we have to win 5 in a row then sweep Boston, and beat Halladay, Cabrera and Lester. We will soon be facing the dilemma of the "double edged sword." By that I mean Yankees will need replacement players for starting pitching, 1st, CF and possibly LF, if the plan is to rid themselves of FA's and either Damon or Matsui. When they expand the rosters in September, if our so-called can't miss pitchers like Melancon don't perform, our minor league players might lose their trade value for needed replacement position players. Can't count on us signing Teixeira or CC. Speaking of Santana, the other Santana, the Angel’s Santana, wasn’t he offered in a trade with Chone Figgins and another player for A-Rod in 2006?

All were highly touted top draft picks and top prospects. Go look at Moseley and Santana's numbers with the Angels when they first came into the league. Or look at the Rays' entire pitching staff when they were rookies for that matter! Guys like Joba are the exception... not the rule. It's normal, even for good pitchers, to struggle when they first break into the bigs.

He has to hit 2 HRs every game to justify his presence at first. A bottle of champagne above the fridge for the Great Giambino's last day in Pinstripes. I can't wait.

I can not believe that as soon as the GM makes a statement saying basically, I've got your back, I won't say you quit on your team, and you just might start for us in a (now dead) playoff race...he goes and comes up with a stiff neck? That is really amazing. And, wait…is that Pavano news update serious?
