    I don't know, but that's his catchphrase for Cano. I guess he couldn't tell them apart or something..

    I think heard it. I remember Sterling confusing Cano with someone else. But don't remember if it was this Sunday. And it should be "Blech Hawkins." Gotta hope Boston and Toronto lose so we don't lose ground.

    but they look nothing alike!

    WE didn't even deserve to win this game, giving up that many runs. Joe should have let them play out the game

    Btw, so why isn't someone calling for Joe to be fired when the Yanks are losing just as badly as the Mets?

    Agreed, but it's blech for the whole team. We gave up so many runs! But A-Rod had a chance to knock in a few more runs and he did bupkus as usual

    What do you mean let them play out the game? And i asked the same question about Joe G. earlier. I gave him some slack cuz we had no A-Rod and Posada. Now that A-Rod's back they're starting to hit. But the pitching has been horrible with the few exceptions.

    Why does everybody say did bupkus as usual? He's not 0 for 1000 in these situations. Giambi had a chance and he struck out. Everybody cherry picks stats.

    Joe came out to ask the umps to call a rain delay. And then they did. And then they came back out. And lost!

    who else says "bupkus as usual" just like that? I think that's a unique phrasing of words

    and I don't like him.

    and to me, he always seems to do something not productive in big situations such as that one.

    respect the stache, he's been hitting better since he started growing it. plus i want to here more run-dmc in the clubhouse after wins, so that's a plus on girardi that he lets them do that.

    not that they say bupkus as usual. but words with same meaning. i'm talking about the haters really. nobody bats 1.000 in those situations. So if you hate the person the outs become magnified. But since he's been back they've been scoring a lot of runs. I don't know the exact number but I'm sure it's avg. over 5 runs a game.

    hate is too strong

    I dislike him. Immensely. I think he is a jinx on the entire team. I think we're not going to win another WS until his contract is up.

    and those stats are not entirely due to him. Abreu has been on fire and he's been the MVP thus far in the season, imo.

    He actually wanted them to call a delay during Matsui's at bat or before because the rain was pouring down his helmet.

    Matsui is more of the hot hitter. And Cano has said since A-Rod's return he has been hitting better. And when Posada come back it'll be a deeper lineup. I know it's not 100% Alex. But the 2 weeks he wasn't around they were lifeless. And if the starters pitch to their capabilities they can win a WS.

    fair enough
    the pitching has not been reliable thus far. that is a problem no matter who is hitting

    I hope Joba doesn't wet the bed in his first start. Which may be next week.

    as long as there are no bizarre swarms of insects, he will be just fine. I hope! I disagree with making him a starter though, I think he was doing just fine where he was.

    He was always meant to be a starter. But people got used to him being a reliver because he's been so great at it. But I rather have him pitching 7 innings rather 1 or 2. Who knows? He might be like Mariano. He was a starter and didn't do to well. But he had good enough stuff to pitch 1-3 innings as a reliever.
