You know if this team just had a bunch of David Eckstein's and Brett Gardner's they'd be awesome. Probably not in first place by 5 games, but they'd be scrappy

Let me ask you and in all seriousness. Game on the line. Man on second...2 outs in the bottom of the 9th and the Yankees trailing by one. Who in that line up do you trust to actually bring that runner home right now. For me Jeter and that's it. This team has no fight...no teeth. Is there talent there...of course there is. Are there fighters? Not at all. No emotion what so ever. No fight emotion, no joking emotion. Just lets get to the park, play the game, and lets go home. Let's hit some hr's and if we win great, if we don't oh well.

I'm pretty sure that if the team had guys like O'Neil or MArtinez still on the team they would pull players aside like Granderson and give him a little talking to. That guy should be batting 320 and bouncing all over the basebaths causing trouble and setting up the 3rd, 4th, and 5th place hitters and getting people on base, not batting 250 and swinging for the fences every time.

Granderson is a fucking MVP type player now. His game changed when he was unable to hit lefties. Quicker through the zone now. It is just want it is. I cannot understand how 40 home runs a year is a bad thing.

I want Cano up with the game on the line without a doubt. 100%. Jeter probably next if you just need a single.

No fight?!?1 They have won 20 something out of the last 30 games.

If we win great?!?! Did you see how quiet the clubhouse was last night.

Dude you are completely off base with this team.

Just do me favor and go ask Xavier what he thinks about the emotion, pulse and fight of this team is them come back to me. That's all I ask. Get his opinion.

Looks like we're going to have a high scoring one tonight. Feels like a 10-9 game.

Zero emotion. Talent wins in the regualr season. Heart wins in the post season. Just my opinion and since you have the Yankee symbol in your picture I must not know anything and my opinion is something just to laugh at.

When was the last time you even saw anyone throw a bat or glove? Ehh...I struck out with 2 on and 2 out...oh well big deal. I'll swing for the fences next time. When was the last time you saw a Yankee pitcher buzz someone taking liberties in the box? Not this year and not this staff. There like talented robots.

DS1119

Time to make a deal. Please Mr. Warren take your .288 batting average back to the minors. A team can't lose their top two starters and expect to fill those gaps with minor leaguers and long relievers.

Dude, you keep talking about Jeter, he is the king of no emotion. I want a player who goes to work the next morning with Long when he has a bad day. From what I understand that is what this team does.

Why would someone break a water cooler when they have the best record in the game and are in the middle of a .750 month?

I'm talking about the Posada's...O'Neils. MArtinez's....anyone to light a fire. Even Cervelli had some life. This team has nothing in that department at all. Just watching tonights ball game they seem bored out there. They're only down by two runs and they;re playing like its 11-2. Someone do something! But they don't. They strut up to plate and swing for the fences. That's all they do.

You like cliches. Cervelli might be the worst player the Yankees have had in 10 years. It is okay to miss the old teams while also understanding this team is playing great ball and is a good team.

Just like that they fight back (then give up a home run, what can you do). Funny you say that because Xavier, who knows a lot more about this team seems to think they will regularly come back, like they did when Pettitte got hurt and like he predicted.

Swinging for the fences Good hitters have home runs come to them.

Why does the hottest team in baseball need a spark?

Cliffy6745

I'm really not going to argue with you about baseball anymore. Clemens and Damon.

Nostalgia dude.

Because of 3 innings. See what you have, evaluate the market and what it will take and go from there.

If the guy is giving up hits at a .288 clip in AAA what did anyone expect facing a divison leader? He's 24 just making his major league debut? He was a sacrificial lamb tonight. I say it's 50/50 if he gets another start for this team this year.

Cory Wade is very bad at baseball

There's a huge difference between a good team and a collection of good players. This collection rocks fantasy and roto baseball but it's far from a good team.

CC will be back in two starts. He makes one more. Warren's numbers are inflated by a bad start, he's been very good recently. I'm not saying this kid is going to be a major league pitcher or ever be on this team much longer, bit he has earned himself a big league start.
