Who decided to allow Wang to stay in long enough in 3 other games to fall completely out of those games? seems to me if intelligent decisions were made on just those four games alone the yanks might have at least two more in the W column Who decided to leave Burnett in to lose the 6 run lead?

I've lost all respect for Posada. Joe needs to go for that very reason. Nobody ever jogged to first for Torre. I’ve lost all respect for Posada. Joe needs to go for that very reason.

Pena did a great job today and defense is and should be the #1 priority at 3rd base. 2 hits and what should of been walk is not bad for someone who hasn’t played a full game in a long time. Give the kid a real chance." Agreed. You may not get a good bat at third but at least you will get some pretty decent defense before ARod is ready. “If Berroa is EVER on the field again attempting to play 3rd base then Girardi should be hung.

"the guy was dealing" "we have to tip our hat to him tonight" "he was locating" He threw a lot of first ball strikes" "we have never seen him before" Yanks always have an excuse.
“the guy was dealing”
“we have to tip our hat to him tonight”
“he was locating”
He threw a lot of first ball strikes”
“we have never seen him before”

They’ve still got 143 games left to play. They have scored 5 runs or more in 11 of their 19 games and averaging almost 5 and a half runs a game. When A-Rod replaces Pena this is going to be a great lineup. Jeter, Damon, Tex, A-Rod, Cano, Posada, Matsui, Swisher, Gardner/Melky is a lineup that will score more than enough runs to win. People that are already complaining about Swisher and calling him a bench player need to relax. When the lineup is the way it should be, he will be one of the best hitters in the bottom of any teams’ lineup. Overall, the pitching has been real bad so far. At the same time, I wouldn’t trade this pitching staff with any team in baseball. The starters are all very good and it’s the same bullpen it was last year that was so good. If Mo closes that game out on Friday and/or Burnett doesn’t fall apart on Saturday, it’s a completely different story." No. 27 is right. “The Yankees are going through a tough stretch right now, but they will turn it around. They’ve still got 143 games left to play.

Verlander has been quite ordinary (until he pitches against the Yankees) Masterson and whoever the AAA guy was? oh yeah, that was Bob Gibson. The atmosphere needs to change. To be fair we are not in the clubhouse and have no idea of what goes on. The only thing we as fans can go by is the results. They play uninspired, they play down to the competition, they play at about 60% of their capabilities. They have a roster capable of being better than 500. More Yankee apologists

You know that's not what I mean. I'm not blaming him for not being a fortune teller. I'm talking about his lack of fundamental baseball. Dumb stuff like having a long man in your pen, utilizing the speed on your bench when you're rallying.. you know the stuff that you scratch your head over. KP, don’t pretend to be stupid.
