    Cano with a good day. Haven't been too many of them this season. Wasn't he Mr. Slow Start last year as well? He's not even in the neighborhood of the Mendoza line! He's been my biggest disappointment so far, even more so than Hughes and Kennedy.

    bogus


    but here is today's Sunday Q&A with Derek Jeter, from the Post:

    I see Jeter was supposed to hit cleanup today. Joe G. certainly likes to play around with the lineup card doesn't he. With all the injuries etc. I guess it has been a necessity, but it will be nice when they can settle in with a lineup. A-Rod should be back by weeks end and that should help.

    Watched some of the game yesterday. Even when Farnsworth doesn't give up a bunch of runs, he still scares the hell out of me.

    I really like Rasner. I know it is still early with him, but I thought he pitched pretty well last year in limited duty before getting injured.

    Cano had a good week. Let's hope he is coming around.

    I know it's early. But even though A-Rod and Posada aren't there doesn't mean they aren't allowed to score runs. I mean. Come On.

    Yea. Although I love home runs. I thought this year we were going to create runs. And not wait for the big blast. At least Wang isn't getting an L.

    well yanks are one loss from being in last place. Rivera gives up 1st run of the year. I'm getting sick of that Gomes.

    some teams might have gotten fired up after a HR like that. not this team. not right now, at least.

    but i guess that's ok for anyone who subscribes to the popular media notion that the yankees are somehow supposed to be "above" showing emotion. :rolleyes:

    damn... they really need jorge back...

    I thought they were fired up, the rays made some good pitches most of the night with the exception of that one to Matsui.

    they did make good pitches. but the yankees just seem kinda stagnant right now... to me, at least.

    not really a reason to worry... the roster isn't exactly in top shape right at the moment. just an observation.

    I agree, they are "only" 4.5 games out with 122 to play. Plus once they get their lineup back to 100% they will even out.
    Hey, you wouldn't hire a clown to fix a leak in the jon so why do you let these hooligans tear down the biz? YEEAAHHH. I don't care if he is Mr. Notorious BIG, can he croon?
