Teixeira so far has played politically correct at Fenway (he seems to be afraid for his family [?]) let’s hope he’ll try to play to win the next time around. Look at Cano having a great year so far EXCEPT that last night he came to the plate with the bases juiced and he swung at the first pitch to an uneventful DP. He could have won the game for his team right there and he failed miserably but he keeps on improving those stats, come to think of it he reminds me in that sense of Soriano. | |

Maybe the team can play an entire game without making those mental mistakes that have denied the team some victories at such an early stage, you know what I mean: EYES ON THE BALL AT ALL TIMES. The glaring weakness in the team is the absence of a real center fielder with power. There are no two ways about it although the idiotic minds that ruled the organization have decided that tiny dancer and the Dominican thug are sufficient enough . . . . . . Think again. | |

Too many cases of previous accidents in MLB to ignore this situation or not bring it to the attention of both OF mainly Rivera who almost collided with Damon last night. | |

Tale of two catchers. Posada says he told Pettitte to keep an eye on Elsbury yet he didn't even glance at him when the guy took off from third base that with a lefty batter at the plate. The rookies from Foston come in to pitch against the Yankees and handcuffed our players without even working up a sweat on the other hand our young relievers came and gave the store away scared to death to face the sux batters. Coincidence? THINK AGAIN. | |

After the game he insists that he doesn’t even belong in Yogi’s stage, something I agree with, but then why ask for the ball when your team stinks? The media however overlooked that fact while still calling Aroids disingenuous every chance they get. | |

Some of you might say: hey give the guy a break he’s trying hard. I would agree with if not for the fact that whenever this guy puts two decent games together he goes crying to his friends in the media demanding more playing time. WHY? WHAT HAS HE DONE FOR US SINCE 2001? Some of you might say that’s cold and I would agree with except for the fact that he was trying to milk the Yankees dry when he threatened to sign with the Mets or the Dodgers or ANY TEAM including the SUX, he demanded a ton of respect in small denominations and he even said that we wouldn’t return to the team IF Torre was let go. Does that sound like VARITEK (I used to hate VARITEK for being so anti-Yankee but actually he was just being ultra loyal to his uniform)? Hardly. | |

Did I start attacking this guy when some of the players in the team went down? No. I have been calling attention to this guy’s selfishness and panicky ways since 2005 around the same time I wrote it was time to part ways with Mo and try to get someone young and lights out like Brad Lidge but a ton of “experts” attacked me saying that Lidge never did anything for the Astros. Guess who saved the last WS for the Phillies? | |

Is Girardi continuing to push the wrong buttons? You bet. One of my questions is IF Kennedy and Hughes didn’t produce the expected results why do we still have Dave Eiland as pitching coach? Masochism looks like the most logical answer. We fall in love with aging players and coaches . . . . . . . . The Sux don’t. Who’s the team who’s won two WS titles since 2004? Not us. Coincidence? Think again. | |

Girardi keeps saying that the season is its infancy and he’s right my question is IF that is true why does he manage the team in such panicky manner confusing the hell out of the young hands in the bullpen and ruining a few careers in the process? Go learn your craft somewhere else man and take you frigging YES show with you. We true Yankee fans can be very patient but we also know when someone is taking us for a ride.

If that’s correct where are those timely hits when we need them? Can you experts care to elaborate on that? | |

Does it look awful being swept by the Sux? You bet but it’s not the end of the world (not yet by a long shot) provided that players like Joba, Posada, Swisher, Teixeira, Jeter, Marte, Veras and MO learn from their mistakes and Girardi too and provided the team starts wining the games they are supposed to win together with the games they need to win then we can all look back at this frigging series and laugh about it. But until that happens EXECUTE, eyes on the ball at all times and enjoy the frigging game something you haven’t done lately. | |

Those announcers at ESPN said something very true: The Sux relievers looked very fresh whereas the Yanks relievers looked very tired. The Yankee organization should look into that. | |
| Bruce4RealPosts: 1681Location: Join Date: November 29, 2007 11:46 PMSend Message | And until the team starts mending its ways please spare us the talk about this team being “very special.” Special teams win games by whatever means not lose them in bunches. | |

Good God all this talk about the Yankees secret weapon: Gardner he was going to terrorize the Foston pitchers running the bases stealing them at will but he and Girardi forgot the golden rule: he has to get on base FIRST meantime the Sux are still running on the Yanks even as we speak. Someone’s been selling us a bill of goods. The speedy weak arm CF can’t hit for shiit so what good is he? He needs to go to bed with a bat over his shoulders to remind him of the golden rule. I need to have my eyes checked because I didn’t see the D.R. brothers high fiving each other during that sweep. | |

According to Cash those rumors about Aroids sending urgent text messages to him to do nothing about the jet stream until he gets in at least a few whacks himself are not true. Poor Aroids there is this field of dreams in the Bronx and he’s going to arrive late due to that hip that was overworked by his rough over the hill ladyfriend. There is always the next time they open a new stadium. Tough year to go for that MVP some guys are already putting some distance between themselves and Aroids and the launch pad is going to get fixed soon. Well sometimes you can’t have everything. | |

I’m kind of surprised at the predicament the Mets are in. I completely forgot about the team in Flushing and I don’t mean any disrespect by that because I had them making the playoffs this year and I was high on Perez to have a good year, that shows you how much I know about baseball MLB to be exact. I read about the bullpen additions and the fact that the Mets got Santana country man at a huge discount to close for them and then they got a hell of a setup man and signed Ollie and I thought: “these guys are ready to rock.” | |

They may come back from all these problems but in their haste they complicated matters for them in a way they should have known better had they done their due diligence. They brought a cancer and the swine flu to their club all in one package. Remember how the muts used to make fun of us for the 2004 debacle in Foston? When the sux came back from a 0-3 deficit and erased the choked Yankees lead by Mo and Aroids? Guess who was the architect of that CHOKE? Exactly: the same ingrate and certified bastard you brought to terrorize opposing pitchers none other than Gary the snake/snitch Sheffield. | |

We had the sux against the historic wall up 3-0 in 2004 and were going in for the kill and they had nothing left, they were content to have all ended not soon enough when this bastard opened his mouth and disrespected the sux team by stating “they are a bunch of jokers who don’t even deserve to be in the same field with the Yankees” that was all the Sux were going to need they regrouped and led by Francona who reminded them every 2 minutes about what snake Sheffield had said went on to erase the would be 2004 champions. The media went on to blame Aroids but they were careful to show his stats starting on the fifth game of that series, The truth is until that 3rd game Aroids had had a brilliant season and post season and all that was forgotten because of this bastard who went on to say he got Aroids back (BUT NOT WHEN IT MATTERED). Aroids unjustly took the blame and that’s when I became one of his most ardent backers. | |

That’s how he engineered his trade to Detroit were his former Manager was waiting for him with open arms . . . . . see he was going to a team that was rebuilding in a grand way signing players until they had a dream team of a roster and they were declared a sure team to win it all. And they almost did but when it counted the snake didn’t help and started making trouble for his team (not his fault by then we knew it was part of his DNA) so much so that the same manager who gave Puge Rodriguez a push out of the team did the same thing with another disciple fallen out of grace and IT landed on the Mets lap who by now had forgotten how much the snake had despised and spurned them prior to his trip to Detroit. |
