Good for him... I hope he trips on the way back into the dugout after taking a curtain call for his 3rd hr of the season...

Hopefully, the Yankees can find whatever it is that has not allowed them to beat the Red Sox this year.

0-7 vs. the Red Sox, first time since 1912 or something?

Pathetic with their line up.

Wang, IMO, should be cut but his massive salary does not allow it.

As a Yankee fan, here\'s my thoughts:

1. I\'m disgusted that we haven\'t been able to beat boston yet this year. We should have won the first meeting, but I digress.

2. Sabathia hasn\'t starting in any of the 7 games (Chamberlain, Burnett, Pettitte, Hughes, Chamberlain, Burnett, Wang).

3. The Red Sox are lucky that they have beaten the Yanks in these 7 games; take these seven away from both teams and the records look dramatically different have played the same amount of games and pretty much the same teams:

New York - 34 / 18 (16 games over .500)
Boston - 28 / 24 (4 games over .500)

4. There\'s no use crying over spilled milk. Given the way we started the season and the seven losses to boston, we can\'t walk away from this series more than 2 games out of first and possibly tied for first.

5. We have a 3 game series with the Mets and the Red Sox are playing the current WS champs; we\'re bound to pick up some ground by the end of the weekend.

So disgusted w/ the Yankees right now, I can\'t even get the right words out...

Rotation: C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Andy Pettitte, Phil Hughes, Chien-Ming Wang
Setup Man: Joba Chamberlain
Closer: Mariano Rivera

Joe Girardi seems set on keeping Wang in the starting rotation, so I won\'t even touch that topic, so why not switch Hughes into the rotation for Joba? They have nearly identical numbers (WHIP, H/9, K/9, BB/9), and Joba seems destined for the bullpen eventually, averaging less than 6 innings per start. Last night\'s loss probably doesn\'t happen with Joba as the eighth-inning guy, Mariano is pitching fewer four- or five-out appearances, Sabathia doesn\'t have to throw 130 pitches every five days and the rest of the pen stays a little fresher.

I agree w/ you except that right now I don\'t trust Wang in the rotation...

I don\'t know why Girardi kept Sabathia in during the 8th. The Yanks had a two run lead at the time, bring in Aceves, who pichted one inning in the last three days; he\'s proven that he can pitch in the big spot at times... Then bring in Mo for the 9th...

when playing the red sox, yes.

and you know our motto: i root for 2 teams, the red sox, and whoever is beating the yankees.

even if the sox don\'t make the playoffs, a sweep over the yanks for the entire season would be huge.

Who cares? Like these are the only guys who did steroids. Let\'s face facts, baseball may be the dirtiest sport behind football and Russian Rocky Fighting. The sport is filled with a bunch of whiny selfish money grubbing bastards. It\'s my favorite sport (Aside from wiffle ball, hacky sack and ultimate frisbee), but take it for what it is... A legal multi billion dollar monopoly that is forgetting where the sport came from. We root for laundry and owners who really could give two shits about its fans as long as it keeps getting corporate sponsorship.
