    and bupkus since-we lost to Anaheim, and Detroit! DETROIT! (sorry SS)

    Well, if this continues, and they go out quickly, and embarassingly again, then I really think it's time for Joe to go. I thought so last year too. I hope it doesn't come to that. I hope they peel off an 11 game winning streak starting tomorrow. But if somehow they end up losing this series ( I said a few days ago that this series would be the toughest series the Yanks would have this year, as I think the Indians are better than the Angels, Sox, and anyone from the NL) then Joe has to go. That would be 4 straight postseason embarrasments

    i disagree. you said it yourself the indians are the best team in baseball. so losing to the best team is an embarrassment? that being said, i think they win this series.

    maybe not an embarrassment this year. but the last 3 years were, and this year would be a failure at least.

    You think who wins, the Yanks or the Indians?

    I think Joe is done regardless of the outcome of the playoffs. The man needs a nap

    What did you think of bringing in Ohlendorf tonight?

    Just to clarify, by no means am I giving up on this series. I'm just pissed at Joe and the whole team right now. They need 2004 Pettitte tomorrow, the man who won 3 straight game 2's, all while down 0-1

    whoops, i meant the yankees. that surprised me but i guess he was relying on the never seen him factor.

    why does torre need a nap? and who do you propose they bring in?

    I guess but it backfired
    they were still close before they brought him in

    Joe always looks tired to me. I think he's wiped out

    who should they bring in? How about Mattingly or Girardi?

    maybe from afar he does, but i think he's truly enjoying himself, especially these last few months.

    actually i'd love to see torre manage through 2009 the first year of the new stadium and then turn it over to mattingly.

    interesting..

    I think it depends on how things go and what George says

    if we do lose again in the 1st round that doesn't bode well

    it's more what his sons say and feel these days. but let's bring that aspect of the discussion back to the forefront if that does happen and hopefully it won't.

    i'm looking forward to seeing andy pettitte pitch another big game two and not having to stay up to midnight to watch it.

    i liked bringing in Ohlendorf there, but I thought he needed a quicker hook. He shouldn't have pitched to Lofton. And that's not a second guess, I wanted him pulled after the double, that was 2 straight balls that were hit hard. When he hit Garko, I started screaming at the TV.

    was anyone warming up at that point or scrambling to get loose? i was at the ranger game so i didn't see any of the game.

    they showed the bullpen from afar, and it looked like Veras was just starting to warm up.

    get rid of him like ive been saying
  • Champagne BreakfastChampagne Breakfast Posts: 1,526
    Must win tonight. Agreed on the weird calls by Torre...
    Why waste Hughes that many innings?? Why not put in Farnsworth?
    They keep playing that flat and we'll be packing up Sunday.

    Oh and...MATSUI is a DOG. Most overrrated, NEVER comes through with 2 outs, Never gets a big hit and is always in a position too.
    Bench his ass. Duncan at DH. At least he'll bring some fire and energy to the lineup.

    Whoa, 2 guys in 5 years.

    That whole "I could win with a $200 mil payroll" argument is just about the stupidest argument in all of sports. It's not like the yankees start with a payroll of 0 and $200 million to spend, then cherrypick who they want on their team.

    As for the homegrown agrument, I'd say the Yankees have more homegrown players than 1/2 of the league off the top of my head.
    Yeah thats right the Yanks have only grabbed 2 guys from other organizations over the past 5 years.

    Of course that means we just don't mention Randy Johnson, Pavano, Clemens redux, Pettitte redux, Abreu, Lidle (R.I.P.), Matsui, Farnsworthless, Betemit, Vizcaino, Molina and a host of others.

    The $200Mil payroll allows the Yanks to cover up their mistakes like Unit and Pavano with band aids like Clemens, something most other teams can't do.

    True, but it can't be said he never got a big hit. He's older and perhaps your GM always holds onto older players too long.

    in the last two postseasons matsui is 8-for-36 with one home run and four RBI

    in the 2004 and 2003 postseasons he was 39 for 115 with five home runs and 24 RBI.

    Ever since Matsui broke his wrist in 06 has NOT been the same.
    I really think Duncan needs to be the DH. Keep Damon in left. Duncan will at least provide energy and another right handed bat. Matsui is a hole.

    they should have pulled Wang after 3. He's "sinker" was letter high through the strike zone. recipe for disaster...

    need a big Andy Pettite post season start tonight....
