This is getting embarrassing. Yanks getting their ass kicked by last place teams. A's,Twins and Angels coming up. We might be 10 under .500 by the freaking all star break
We can't hit, it's as simple as that. We are putting oo much pressure on the starters who have been good but all seem to struggle later in games b/c they have to be perfect b/c we can't hit. There is no excuse for the O to be this bad.
It's really become cute to see how much you don't know. He was dominant the first three innings. He got into trouble after that for the next couple innings, and still worked out of it. Then when it became obvious that he couldn't win the game without pitching a shutout, he lost it. The Yankees lost FOUR TO NOTHING. Even if he pitched a perfect game, he STILL would have lost. They had what, 6 baserunners the entire night? Even if he had been perfect through 9, he would have had to have been pulled, and eventually someone would have given up a run before we scored. Clemens has been at least as good as we had hoped. It's people like you who somehow expect him to throw no-hitters every start.
QFT. The question is what to do now? Do we chalk this year up to a lost cause, and hold a fire sale? Grab some youth while sending off some of this overpriced crap, in the hope that we bring in some talent for next year, or do we hang on to dwindling hope and see if we can somehow pull off the unthinkable and earn a wild card shot in the second half? ------------------ I think I'm taking a break for now. Last night I said I was going to stop watching until after the break. I hate not watching the Yankees. I love the team, and baseball has been becoming my favorite sport once again, but this is just too painful. I hate seeming like a fair-weather fan, but that's not the case. I just can't stomach watching this. It's not like the 80s where we knew we weren't good enough. This team is FAR too talented to be this bad. We get great pitching performances, and we just can't win. The hitting is atrocious. Guys aren't even struggling. That would imply they were actually trying. You can see it in guys' faces when they K that they just don't "get it." Everyone is swinging at first pitch balls, or letting first pitches down the middle go right past them. No one has an eye for the ball anymore. How do you fix something that technically isn't broken?
Yankees need to keep an eye on Baltimore (three games behind Yankees) and Kansas City Royals (five games behind Yankees) in the wild-card race.
I don't think it will ever be in the Steinbrenner mentality to have a fire sale. Of course there won't be anybody available to help them either. He will let the season play out and use the results to get rid of Torre and Cashman whether it's the right move or not. At that point they may sell off what they can. However, if the do it will be another 10-15 years before they can compete again. It's always different in NY then anywhere else for newly acquired players.
You're not gonna find one person here who thought or thinks he is any kind of savior. So why do you keep coming into these threads and spewing your dumb shit?
I'm still looking for the Yankee poster that is in the Mets threads spewing what is equivalent to dave's BS
It's funny that they talk all the crap they do but neither have the sack to take part in the sig bets etc.
I watched the first two innings. (Well, the first inning and a half.) Then I turned off the tv. I'm on vacation. This team is dead. It's over.
through 6 innings, cabrera has thrown 30 more pitches than wang. not so surprising, considering the types of pitchers they are and the lineups they're facing
well, orioles up 2 runs and looking for more, but their lineup is now pretty punchless. fahey, bynum, bako, patterson, etc.
