I haven’t seen Coke mess with the Yankees chances of winning this bad since the days of Steve Howe. We can’t blame Joba for the terrible bullpen performance. Who the heck are Coke and Veras anyway? I realize we can’t replace Joba with another Joba as the setup guy, but we should at least have major league caliber talent.

most of you guys don’t like Mike Fran but he’s right on with Joba…anyone know how many innings he average as a starter last year

early season games are just as important as late season games….Gardner,Melky,Ramson are AAA players at best..another thing Joba will be lucky to win 10 games this year he should be the 8th inning guy period( watch how many games they lose in the 8th inning). The Yankees are 3-3 after playing those two teams with their SP ?

“Thanks to Girardi Mike Francesa gets to go on a six hour rant tomorrow on how Jobber needs to be in the bullpen because he wasn’t THAT EFFECTIVE as a starter and the BP blew the lead without him.”

Its funny that you said that because I was thinking that too

what’s you take on the team? despite my dislike of cashman, i’m liking what i’m seeing so far.the rotation is healthy, teixeira is better than i thought, and swisher is a nice addition.
cano has snapped put of his funk. posada can throw and hit.

i especially like seeing a good starter going out there every day. if they can avoid injuries this team is looking pretty good.

————————————————————

If there was one move left to make during the off-season, it was wanting Cashman to go after John Buck when KC was trying to unload the contract. He’s not a great hitter, but, he’s got power and he’s a good receiver…..good at blocking the plate and the ball….strong arm that Tony Pena could help in making the release a little quicker. Other than that, not much to do once Rodriguez and Teixeira return to the lineup. I still like the bullpen, though. If they’re committed to Gardner, nothing you can do, but, I like Skip schumaker in St. Louis to play center and either hit 9th or lead off.

if red sux win, the yankees will be tied for last place with them

And this is of what significance at this point of the season ?

Dan, how about this? The pen just had a bad day. There is a huge difference between being being a bad pitcher and being bad for a day. People were already giving up on the game much earlier and we ended up taking the lead. Let’s just give up on the season now to save ourselves some grief and aggravation. Again, the Rays lost to the O’s 6-0 yesterday. Does that mean they are going to wet the bed this season? It’s one game.
