He got double off second base with one out. Now Alex Gordon does his juggling routine on a grounder that he threw into the stands for two errors on one play.

Stupid mistake by DeJesus.

good move by Girardi taking out Ponson. He was just about to turn back into pigman.

Yankees waste a lead off double from their rookie midget. Will this be the inning when Pigson gives up a three run bomb?

It's about time for Ponson to give up a three run bomb.

Ponson still acting like a good pitcher.

Here's where we disagree. If he has earned a shot, give it to him in April, not in the stretch drive. You can't afford rookie mistakes at this time of year.

Ponson is a pig. It will only be a matter of time before he acts like one. It might not be today, but it will happen and he'll get cut as he has before.

He hit into a DP. Still 1-0 KC

The Yankees with bases loaded and none out in the 4th inning and ARod k'd. Giambi will have to pick him up.

But he is not ideal to play everday for the next 3 weeks if Lowell is on the DL that long. That's why I 'd like to see them get Millar. He'd be replacing a lefty, not a righty.

We know what Millar can do. We don't now what Jeff Bailey can do. I don't think you look to find out what he can do during the stretch drive.

Welcome to TalkSox.

With Lowell down, the Sox are short on right hand pop.

You should be upset, because he was supposed to be a manager who demanded sound fundamentals from his team. He can't help that his players got injured or that the FO gave him 3 rookie pitchers for the rotation, but he failed at the one thing for which he has no excuse. There's no excuse that this team is so poor at executing fundamentals. They are worse than any Joe Torre team. It is not just the kids, but it's the veterans as well. That shows me that Girardi either does not stress the fundamentals (in which case he did not come as advertised) or that he stresses the fundamentals but the team is not responding to him. The latter is worse than the former. If the team is not responding to him, he should be fired. I hope he stays, because I feel very strongly that he is a terrible manager. BTW without calling him a failure, Michael Kay made the same exact point about how Girardi was expected to stress fundamentals, but noted how poor this team was in that regard. I did have another quote that is being used in a signature about the Yankees having no chance, because they are made up of rookies and old men. That statement was very early in the season. It is very uncharacteristic of me to stick a fork in the Yankees before they are mathematically eliminated, but the make up of this team with two untested rookies in the rotation made it clear to me early on that they had no chance. Blame injuries all you want, but if Hughes and Kennedy had stayed healthy they would have sported something like a 4-16 record. They would have had to been sent down whether or not they got injured. They had no chance with 2 rookies in the rotation and more in the pen. The only reason they stayed this close is because Moose shocked everyone and had a great season.

I think you are confusing Lowe with Clemens.

At what point will you give me credit for the accuracy of my statements used in your signature. I stated those things quite early in the season.

7 games behind in the loss column with about 40 games left.

Will that idiot rookie Christian get demoted tomorrow? As I posted earlier in this thread, Girardi has been a flat out failure as a manager, because he hasn't done the one thing that was expected of him--- to have the team be fundamentally sound. This team is far less fundamentally sound than teams managed by the laid back Torre. Michael Kay made the exact same point about fundamentals and Girardi right after the pick off. The death spiral continues.

Another cheapie win by Mo is looming. How often have we seen this?
