This is depressing. I’m not giving up of course. I always root harder for them when they’re losing…can’t help it. But still, it’s depressing.

Im absolutely shocked! The only reason you woul pinch run gardner is if Melky is is he is the tying run which he isnt, becasue if you do and try to steal him and he does get caught well then girardi gets blamed for running us out of an inning. if posada gets on and we pinch run gardy for him then that is only the tying run and since were the away team even if we take the lead out 2 catchers are now out of the game and we have Brett Gardner in spot of catcher. Wow people kill Girardi and say things like this. I’m honestly shocked that the steinbrenners aretn looking for managers off of lohud honest to god shocked

Someone actually believes Jorge was running at full speed last night?

Really???

No wonder Ponzi schemes are always so successful.

Boy that Jason Bay is sure helping Boston forget about that guy they had named Manny. He does it to Cleveland in 0-0 tie in the 9th inning with a 3 run bomb!

Looks like they did us better there in the “getting guys from Pittsburgh” department. I’d take Bay over Nady any day of the week! Heard Boston is close to tieing him up to a long-term deal. Mariano should like that!

Way ta go Mar-i-anoooooooooooooo!!!!!

OK I stayed away all game but there are a few things that need to be discussed.

Miggs, while you can be brutal sometimes, I completely agree with your assessment on this post. The Yankees took a leap of faith signing players like Matsui, Damon and even over extending Posada. They are now stuck with these bloated contracts of which the return is less than 50%. Fans tend to get emotional about players like Jeter, Posada, Matsui, but the fact is that they are a declining product. Jeter, while still able to produce, needs to consider what is best for the team as a position player. He has never been good going to his left but his overall play makes him valuable to the team. Matsui needs to just bow out gracefully saying his knees are just too damaged to continue. And Posada, I am just turned off by him. It started with this over reaction to the Swisher pitching appearance and has gone down hill since.
