Hey Guys

I can say only one thing about last night and that is Cano is afraid to get any stains on is shirt he is lazy. If he to cold to play then stay home or go back to D.R. My mother could have got the slow roller. The Bull pen had it head were the sun dosen shine. The Team played like High School Kids.
If they do not wake up soon it will be over in 4. Somebody tell the team to WAKE UP Please.

Nobody was going to beat Cliff Lee last night, not the way he was pitching. Kudos. And Utley was a beast (by the way, why didn’t CC put one in his ear to back him off the plate?).

So now the Yanks are down 0-1. Big deal. Are we really going to be scared of Pedro? In the Bronx? And then Hamels? Folks, let’s show some intestinal fortitude and act like the Yankees have been there before.

Yankees in 6.

It’s amazing to see the height of the bridges so many people want to jump off of after one game

This is not the Superbowl. It’s not one-and-done. It’s called the World SERIES for a reason.

We’ll get Pedro tonight and hope AJ doesn’t implode.

There is a reason Hamels is starting in Philly instead of Game 2. He has been awful all post-season.

I bet we end Game 3 up 2-1.

At least the bullpen didn’t do great on a night when the opposing pitcher was just dominant. There’s a reason why Cliff Lee won the Cy Young last year. We can come back tonight, the Yankees are good at bouncing back after a tough loss.

No one said this was going to be easy ! Philly landed the first blow !. Time for the Yanks to fight back !.

Really? Lee was THAT dominant? Or was it just because the Yankees look like they sent a high school team out to bat?

The Yankees offense has been PUTRID all postseason (with the exception of A-Rod and Jeter). This isn’t the first game we got completely dominated. We got lucky against Minnesota and Anaheim, and I don’t think that’s going to happen against Philly. We’re going to have to earn it.

We can’t win ballgames when 6/9 spots in our line up can’t get any hits — and more devastatingly, can’t get on base.

Posada – .257/.350
Matsui – .242/.390
Damon – .239/.271
Cano -.211/.318
Tex – .186/.250
Swisher – .114/.205

This was the best lineup in baseball? Really?

Once again, our “Murderer’s Row” offense has shut down in the post season.

With the number of pitches Lee threw, I doubt he will pich on short rest.

Morning all,
Most disturbing thing about last nights game is how quickly fans begin to bad mouth their team and jump off the yankee express. If thet had done this all year and not jumped back on, oh well no worrying about things in the past.

CC wasn’t great, but good enough to keep them in the game. Lee was just unhittable.
Today is another day. Remember early in the season AJ was the stopper, hopefully he steps up today.

The ONLY positive things I see from last night’s game is that at least Lee threw 122 pitches and may be less effective on 3 days rest!
