Igawa gives up his 3rd Homer to the A's (Johnson)-- 4-0 A's in the 6th.

[yankees228]

Somebody has to tell Igawa to stick with the fastball - changeup combination at least 85% of the time.

 

EDIT: The fastball has really been the bright spot for Igawa today. That's the pitch he has the most control over.

CYA

[riverside sluggers]

$26 million just to talk to this guy, huh?

[a700hitter]

GAudin is struggling in the 6th with 2 on and a full count to ARod with 2 outs.

[Youk Of The Nation]

3-0 on A-Rod and he comes back to blow it by him. Beautiful.

[a700hitter]

ARod k's to end the inning and the threat after being ahead 3-0 in the count.

[jacksonianmarch]

Thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh Yankees lose. Thuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh Yankees lose.

[Youk Of The Nation]

LOL @ Kendall going 3 for 3.

[riverside sluggers]

Just had a chance to peruse the box score, chalk up another light power guy hitting one out off of yankees pitching... Jason Kendall? Tell me it aint so

[a700hitter]

Proctor has looked terrible lately. Congrats to Torre for burning out another Bullpen guy. It happens every summer.

[jacksonianmarch]

Joe Torre needs to be committed. Down 4-0 with no offense, he brings in a dead tired Scott Proctor to get lit up. Man, this manager is something else.

I cant think of one Yankees box score this year or last I have looked at, that hasnt included Scott Proctor's name.

He's a turn key manager. He's great if everything fits together neatly... good offense, strong starting pitching, good 8th inning pitchers and Mo. If he has to vary from this formula, he's as lost as an Alzheimer's victim in the final stages of dementia.

[yankees228]

I hate to repeat myself, but the way to start turning this around is to trade away Matsui and Cano. Matsui, in my opinion, is either past his prime or still recovering from the wrist injury. Either way, his trade value for the last year and a half of his contract would be better then having him for the year and a half. On top of everything, he is an awful outfielder.

 

Cano also really bothers me. He was getting away with his free swinging ways, the first two years, but now pitchers have adjusted to him, and he has failed to readjust. His OBP really hurts this team, and he has not developed the power that I thought he would.

 

EDIT: Jackson, I really don't think the pitching is the problem. The offense is really struggling, no matter how many total runs they've scored this year. The ineffectiveness of many of the Yankees hitters, is not due at all to Joe Torre.

Cano in particular is a very valuable property.

[a700hitter]

Torre is looking to burn out Gas-caino next. It's 7-0 in the 7th. What is he thinking! Bring in a garbage time pitcher like Villone.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Maybe Jeter can hit an 8-run homer here.

[a700hitter]

Matsui pops to Kotsay for the 3rd out of the inning.

 

Inning Ovah!

 

Ballgame Ovah!

 

Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!!

Thuuuuh Yankees Loooose!!!

 

Edit: Cue the Sterling Shake.

[Rdsxmbnt]

wow 1 hitter

[VA Sox Fan]

Maybe Jeter can hit an 8-run homer here.

 

LMAO!! :lol:

[Cocos Disciples]

The Yankees really cannot sink lower than this.

[example1]

This performance by the Yankees makes last season's sox collapse seem like a 2 day losing streak. 3 games under .500 with a 200+ payroll is completely unacceptable. (for yankee fans)

[yankees228]

The Yankees really cannot sink lower than this.

 

Oh, I wouldn't say that lol. All they need is for A-Rod to hit in July like he hit in May and all of a sudden it could get a lot worse.

[ORS]

Pettitte's luck appears to have slept in today.

 

3-0 A's on some dink and dunk hits

 

2nd and 3rd with 2 out in the 2nd

[ORS]

Cust breaks it open.

 

6-0, with the 3-R bomb

[ORS]

Bombs away for the A's. Chavez double, Johnson bomb, 8-0.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Wow. Jack Cust is f***ing raking. 14 HR, 37 RBI.

[KeepTheFaith1229]

gah...i benched cust today

[riverside sluggers]

damn I didnt even realize the yankees game was on. Its 8-0, Oakland, in the 2nd inning... The first 11 innings of this series has Oakland outscoring NY 15-0
