  1. At this point last year, he had 10 HRS. This year he has 9. Players don't hit HRs according to a ratio. For example, some guys hit more iHRs in the first half than the second half. Youk has hit 1 in his last 123 ABs. Yikes! I'll be happy if he hits 13 this year.
  2. A re you talking about the 2006 team that was 3 games better than the 2007 team at the start of today? Yeah, he would have helped make the difference, because last years team let the Yankees stay in the race while they were injured. The Red Sox did not extend their lead when they had the opportunity before the injuries occurred. Also, Theo let the Yankees swoop up Abreu and Lidle. If we had gotten them, the Yankees don't sweep 5 against us. Abreu played a pretty big role in that Series. Theo held himself accountable for the disgraceful results last season and he has spent like a drunken sailor to turn things around this year, so it doesn't matter to me if you hold him accountable. The facts and his own admission speak for themselves.
  3. No, I think he probably would have helped us win only 5 or 6 additional games, but he was also responsible for about 8 wins for the Yankees. Can you do the math?
  4. [Mr. Blows]Helton is in a precipitous decline. Don't let his .431 career OBP and his 2007 .431 OBP .311 BA and .912 OPS fool you. This guy is in a free fall. He'll be gumming his oatmeal in 2 years. Youk, on the other hand, is an on base machine. Don't let his .284 career BA fool you. His power will increase over time. Don't be mislead that he is behind the torrid pace for the 13 HRs he hit last year.[Mr. Blows]
  5. If it wasn't for Theo's ineptitude, Damon would have helped lead us to the playoffs in 2006 and the Yankees Playoff string would have been broken last year.
  6. Now is the time to take the game back from the umpires.
  7. He's probably going only one more inning. What about Contreras as a trade possibility? He looks okay tonight.
  8. I wonder if he'll get a season's ticket next to Jerry Kapstein.
  9. On the bright side, Moose is getting pummeled by the Rays in the 3rd. Upton hit a ball into the Upper deck in LF for a 4-0 lead.
  10. Everyone has aches and pains during the season. It has to do with the fact that he is not a .330 hitter and that he has very little power.
  11. This might light a fire under the team. They had a closed door team meeting today and Drew finally shows power to the opposite field and we get robbed by the umps. It was good for Tito to go nuts on the umps. This could give the team an emotional lift. BTW I am pretty sure that both manny and Drew went into HR trots. They saw it, but the umps didn't. f***ing *******s... four of them, and Tto explained that area to the crew chief yesterday. Do they have any knowledge of physics? Why would they think the ball popped up after it hit the wall?
  12. This is very scary. Look how last year turned out.
  13. Is this a slump or is this a team that was playing over its head for two months that first leveled off and now is falling apart?
  14. Does anyone doubt the need for a pitcher when our #2 starter is prone to total meltdowns like this?
  15. Lowell is the only guy with any pop other than Manny and Ortiz. He should be the # 5 hitter, not Youkilis.
  16. Youk with the patented warning track ball.
  17. Oh good! Youk is protecting Manny again. That should scare the pitcher.
  18. I lived it. I'll let you know.
