    Champagne Breakfast from New Jersey - I've had it with Mussina and let's get Shelley Duncan out there instead of Matsui. Matsui has not recovered from that wrist injury from two years ago.

    NYPJ1 from Brooklyn - Another meaningless home run for A-Rod. This team is going to be like Russo's San Francisco Giants

    Singularity from New York - I like Mussina but who really fears him? He's old, his balls don't break properly

    Flannel Shirt from New England - You Yankee fans are nuts on this A-Rod stuff. He's a great player. the other guys have to step it up and get on base in front of him.

    As usual, the only one making any sense whatsoever is the one from MA.

    Honorable mention to Singularity. You are right, nobody fears Mussina....unless you are still in a close game in the 5th inning on ....he seems to get better as a game progresses.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    i am not pressing the panic button. i know there is still an insane amount of games to be played. to scrutinize any team this early on is ridiculous.

    all i am saying is, i just cannot see mussina staying a starter come summer time. mussina to the bullpen, joba to the rotation.

    Looking forward to seeing the kids pitch and then we have Pettitte ready to go this weekend? God I love this time of year. It's only 2 games in. Ease up people. There are so many reasons to be excited about this team.

    we've had nothing but bad luck since he's come over to the team.
    I don't think we're going to win another championship until he leaves.

    I think they will. The curse stuff is signing pitchers like Carl Pavano, Jaret Wright, Kevin Brown and so on. For me this year is more about developing the pitchers, getting them to be good and capable of a full season. If it means 88 wins and no playoffs, so be it. Sometimes you have to step back to surge ahead again and if the payoff down the line is championships (which I think it will be), then it's worth it.

    no playoffs? What?! :) I sound like George. But I like seeing them in the playoffs, it's exciting!

    If they win three in a row, I'd think you'd be able to handle it. You just have to be patient with this and let the young pitchers develop.

    hah! I know! That's a big IF. Oy.
    Well the young pitchers will have to develop b/c it seems like Moose is going downhill fast! I think he has been past his prime for a while now

    I'll look forward to see how Hughes is going to do tonight, I like him

    is there a site where I can sign up to have the scores texted to me? I can't deal with having to listen to Sterling and Waldman at work!

    Hahah thats pretty good. Its true in NY everytime a team loses you get pissed. But if you track my history in posting about the Yanks I always have felt...Mussina is shot, and Matsui is not the same. You can't tell me you disagree. I'll say that 2 games in, 162 games in, post season, spring training. you name it. They both have looked like a mess for 2 years.

    I'm not saying I necessarily I disagree. I just take it on a year-by-year basis with players and I need a lot more than two games for Matsui and one start for Mussina before getting ready to stick a fork in them.

    How about the Yanks wake the fuck up. No bats. Look very lax & kinda dead.

    Matsui's last year: .285
    25 HR
    103 RBI
    100 R
    and same # of BBs as Ks

    I'll take those every year and be very happy

    what is his average for that? Blech!
