Joba was shaky    . . . . .  so what? He kept the team (is this a team? The offense I mean) in the game same as the previous pitchers before him and he’s not going to be neither perfect nor overpowering every game (not while he learns his trade) Beckett or Santana were not overnight wonders Joba almost is and he’ll surely get better and steady. You had a good game Joba.

Which brings us to Jeter. How about three stinky loses? Does that qualify as a slump? Or it’s just lack of focus, hunger and guts?

You go from one extreme to the other  . . . . .    it used to be “if we don’t win the WS it’s a failure” they must have changed the menu in the clubhouse.

Is the hitting coach still around?  WHYYY?  You can’t fire the prima-donnas, too early to fire Girardi.  Something has to give despite us being lucky to have him among us.

What about this for thought-food? The schedule is going to get really rough. Is this $209 Mil. plus offense going to handle rough?

I’ve just read that there were some inconsistencies with the news regarding Alex, Madonna and Cynthia.

If that’s the case (and it seems it is) I stand corrected and I apologize to Alex for taking some cheap shots at him. My bad.

As far as not hitting when you should  . . . . . . . .   Just keep getting better man and your teammates better start hitting consistently. You are not the problem I’ve just went on a tangent without knowing the facts. I hope you’re Ok overall and your little ones too. I honestly hope you had a prenup.

Baseball will take your mind off these situations hitting for average and power specially (sorry just pushing the envelope to our advantage).

We got your back (after initially sticking a foot in my mouth) you know that.

After all those terrible losses it feels good to see the team finding a way to start righting their ship.

Every player had a hit and Garner got his first ML hit, welcome to the Majors Gardner the beginning of a long and successful career We hope.

Was that a light weight version of Mickey running around the bases? Was that a bird? A plane?  No it was Gardner the accidental base stealer who’s adding a new dimension to the teams winning ways (he makes it look so easy BTW).

Now you can start manufacturing runs when needed.  Right Girardi? Or break the opposing pitchers’ concentration. Just one bit of advice Gardner: stay healthy and don’t get picked off  . . . .   It doesn’t sit well with the finicky local tabloids.

That latest W should help us stay focused against the sux who are sheepishly sliding into town after being humbled by the mighty former doormats. Unnoticed in the wee hours of the morning no less. Tampa Bay proved that the sux are ordinary humans after all.

Let’s give them a run for their money as we start the next series at the Cathedral of baseball. Stay focused one to nine (one inning at a time). Score early and often   . . . . .  .   Any count any inning is a good one to start up a rally.  By staying disciplined at the plate you’ll get to their relievers early.  Break their pitchers concentration (ask for timeouts every so often) keep them off balance (that is something you can control).
