[yankeessuck013]

Alright Yankees, time to work your magic!

i kinda feel bad for the yan.......nevermind

The Yankees must lead the league in most runners left on base. If you watch each game on a consistant basis you know what I'm talking about. This was an inning a few weeks ago:

 

A-Rod lead off double

Jorge Posada K's

Tino Martinez K's

Tony Womack K's

 

You have to wonder what are they thinking when they go up to the plate.

Yeah I try to watch almost every game, if not live on the encore, and I have absolutely no idea what they are thinking. It's not like this is a young club with little experience, these guys are vets and should either play little ball to get a guy to third with less than two outs or just relax at the plate and not try to hit a homer everytime.

:what:

You never know

[yankeessuck013]

jeter k's with men on 2nd and 3rd....2 outs

[ORS]

That was a FILTHY splitter.

Don't take this the wrong way, because its not coming from the Red Sox fan part of me. The Yankees don't seem like a team at all. They have no "charisma guy" that can hold the clubhouse together. It probably stems from the Boss's behavior/grooming mandates. I think it is something that the FO needs to reasses.

I understand, one of the reasons why I joined this board is to see the Red Sox side of things. I think the Yankee front office in general is a joke. They misjudge players all the time. Wheater its signing Tony Womack to a 2 year deal or thinking that Bernie Williams could still play a good CF or signing Carl Pavano based on one year or signing Jaret Wright or having a horrible back up catcher and a horrible bench or signing Gary Sheffield when you could have signed Vlad Guerrero. Did you know that Cashman had a deal DONE for Vlad Guerrero but the boss shot it down saying "NO I want Sheffield". That move not only will kill us in the future but its currently killing us because Sheffield adds to what might be the worst defensive OF in the league. The bullpen is a joke. The front office felt they could hand the 7th inning to a guy that has a career 5.50+ ERA instead of getting a legit reliver. It goes on and on. As a friend of mine said "If I had 200 mill to burn the Yankees would never lose".

Wow. Now that is a harsh, HARSH, reality. :thumbdown

[ORS]

I have a feeling that you, as a Yankee fan, will have to endure a bit more of that until the Boss steps down. He's a great businessman, but doesn't know s*** about baseball.

[riverside sluggers]

Yankees collectively have hit a total of 176 homeruns. 89 of those have come from solo shots.

[AlexanderTheGreat13]

Wow. Not that is a harsh, HARSH, reality. :thumbdown

Its true, and I dont really blame Cashman for it. I blame the idiots in Tampa who get in Steinbrenner's ear. I only hold Cashman responsible for Vazquez.

Agreed, Cashman is the front man for what really is a roundtable of GM's. Some days Steinbrenner listens to Cashman other days he listens to the idiot Billy Conners and other days its Mark Newman.

Very telling stat. It feels like they only hit solo HR's.

[Optimist]

The YES commentators are more quiet tonight than any other game this season...

 

Which is weird, because usually in games like these they don't shut up about the most useless, meaningless things.

lol yeah, with David Justice in the booth you would think they would bable on about something.

[yankeessuck013]

error for arod....yep nothing is going right tonight for them

[Optimist]

A Rod's error-less streak ends...

[Pinstripe_Pride]

Arod prob just isn't focuses. I wouldn't be in a game like this.

[Optimist]

This sums up tonight...

Wow, Joe sends out a AA team.

[Optimist]

Joe has thrown in the towel...

[yankeessuck013]

12-0

[DrewDaGreat]

Wow, this helps tonight's loss, but what helps it even more is the start of college football.

Yankee replacements....

 

Position: Original --> Replacement

 

RF: Sheff --> Bubba Crosby

LF: Matsui --> Lawton

CF: Williams --> Womack

1B: Giambi --> Flaherty

2B: Cano stayed in game

SS: Jeter --> Bellhorn

3B: Rodriguez --> Phillips

C: Posada --> Will Nieves

 

This is why I love expanded rosters...

[yankeessuck013]

me too, favorite time of the year...except when we're in a race rather than 40 games up like usual.

[ARod2212]

Al Leiter proved tonight that he won't be able to get out a Major League lineup. As a team, Oakland is one of if not the best in pitchers per plate appearance and Leiter is one of the worst. Don't want to see him start in the playoffs if we can help it.

 

Gotta go out and win tomorrow, it is pretty damn important.

 

I was planning on watching the whole game, despite the fact we were down big. However I saw Forrest Gump was on so I watched that instead.

[redsoxrules]

thank you oakland still a 3.5 game lead

[Ray10]

Great to see Oakland beat up on the Yanks. And thank god they did we get to keep our 3.5 game lead.
