His brother Jeff. Without looking I think he may have had one solid season after leaving the Yanks, but pretty much his best work was prior to the Yanks trading for him.

Yes, thats him! I got them confused. I seem to recall he ended up on the Angels too at some point.

Looks as if Chavez is hitting the ball good.
Who is this McGehee? Anything promising?
Can Martin get that BA over the mendoza line?

Not really. Picked up near the deadline for the awesome Chad Qualls! Just a major league 3B to spell Chavez while ARod is on the DL.

What to rub it in Yankees fans faces that the team is in bad shape right now? Do you want a fucking cookie? DS was right that the Yanks were going to go on a slide...congratufuckinglations. We got it dude, you don't like this team. We all understand.

This is not a bad baseball team. Bad spot. 5 game lead still though. Hopefully they can weather the storm. They don't look like the confident team they did for 6-8 weeks. Get to the playoffs and see what happens. No one is exactly tearing it up in the AL right now.

speaking of which, i want Melky back next year.

Yeah, would be nice, he is just going to cost so much and has only had one rebound year. Kevin Long pretty much said he could do this all along, and that he just wasn't putting in the time in New York, am sure they were worried it would rub off on Cano too. Said he stopped drinking and concentrated on baseball and now look.

How crazy is it that Boone Logan is looking like the most useful piece of a trade that sent a good prospect and Melky coming off a world series to Atlanta for a pitcher coming off a Cy Young caliber year and Boone Logan.

No reason to get all volatile man! :fp: I just find it ironic that just over a month ago I expressed my views about the team...especially the dependance on the HR...and all of this shit pretty much played itself out for the last 4-6 weeks. Yet I got jumped on like I was some idiot who didn't know what the fuck I was talking about because I don't know who the 47th ranked prospect in the Yankees farm system is or my opinion meant nothing. Again...I hope the team breaks the funk...but the way it i, quite frankly, I'm not so sure. Lead or no lead...I certainly have ZERO confidence heading into the playoffs with this team.

I'm sorry if my frankness offends some Yankee fans...I really do...but I just post what I see...and this club is not a good one and it hasn't been for a month and a half.

No one is offended it's just incredibly annoying to go on and on about it. You went on and on about the offense but in reality this team is scoring enough runs that they should be winning games. I am a lot more worried about the pitching than the offense.

I don't give a fuck whether you know prospects or not.

And since we have had that conversation the Yankees have lost a whopping one game in the loss column so the sky really isn't falling.

Cliffy6745

In the last month, they have lost 5 games in which they have scored 5 or more runs. Need to win those games. If the pitching does the job, no one is freaking out. If 3 of those games were wins, they are 23 games over .500.

I didn't go on and on about it? :? When I said it...if people want to keep challenging my views I will defend them.

10-14 since the All Star break...this team only got worse through injury and on field play...the Orioles and Devil Rays have only gotten better...and I am not discounting the Sux especially with how many games they have remaining. 5 games is FAR from some comfortable lead to have. :fp:

Cliffy6745

Alright, whatever you say. I don't have the energy to do this again. Baltimore sucks though. Write that down. Tampa is the worry, especially with them getting their best player back.

Need the big guy tonight. And I'd like to see Miggy not hit a home run.

Cliffy6745

Alright, how about not giving this back immediately tonight.

Cliffy6745

Fuck yeah. Love making a jerkoff pay for that bullshit.
