    Once I saw that Rivera was coming in. I knew we were going to lose.

    What a Bitch game
    Ponson should have gone the distance. Was pitching a gem
    A-Rod is a gigantic pussy. Just refuses to take the team on his back in big games/ or situations.

    This team can be sooo flat and lifeless at times.
    PJ - 36
    EV - 5

    Yea it's A-Rod against the Angels. You can't blame Alex too much. Most players expect a fastball maybe slider. And he throws him a changeup.

    It not just that at bat. He was up early in the game with 2 men on and again struck out. A player like him at least needs to make a productive out. He can't even do that this year. How many times this year have the Yanks set themselves up in an inning and A-rod K's??? Even the announcers were talking about it

    But at least he worked the count full. Abreu struck out on 3 pitches. I guess it depends on how they pitch you. He's hardly gonna get good pitches to hit. I mean he got a slider on the first pitch. I know he hasn't been doing great in these situations this year. But he's batting over .320. So eventually those hits will come. But unless Giambi gets hot again. He won't get too many good pitches to hit.

    It was great to see Willie back in the pinstripes, but it would have been even better to see Bernie Williams. Bobby Murcer's widow would have been nice, but I can certainly understand why she couldn't make the trip, obviously. Too bad Mattingly couldn't make it too. Righetti also, for that matter. Lousy jobs, getting in the way. I guess the same goes for Scott Brosius. I know he's managing somewhere. A local college, I believe. I really hope they get Bernie back in the Stadium before they move across the street. last reagular season game maybe. Or a playoff game first pitch, if possible

    did they invite Bernie? I read something about how they are supposed to have every living Yankee in the stadium at the end of the season?

    try calling them directly with your own group. If you get enough people, it's just your group.

    I gotta give it to them today. Mussina pitched a gem. Hey, we can't win every game. But we will most of them. 3 outta 4 aint bad

    Rasner gets no run support. So that may be true.

    Bruney looked a little rusty yesterday, but the stuff is still there. He'll be a big part of this bullpen for the rest of the season. Between him, Veras, Marte, Ramirez, and Robertson there isn't one guy who comes in the game and makes me go "Uh Oh!". This is not something I've been able to say as a Yankee fan in a while.

    My only real problem with Mo on Friday night was the walk. What can you say about the hit by Vlad? Him and Sheff are about the only 2 guys who can hit that pitch. Nonetheless it's a recurring pattern. Maybe Mo entering the game in a non save situation is my "Uh Oh!" now.


    Nice to see Hughes looking good in rehab. In the meantime let's go get Rasner some runs today.

    Rasner finally gets some runs. Ramirez was cruising through the 1st two batters and was 0-2 with the 3rd. But I think he was trying to be too fine. 37 batters without giving up a hit. He was bound to give up a hit and runs. Luckily it didn't cost them the game.
