Hold Cow!

The Yankees have a lead.

Greg Cohen said...

It sure is nice for a change. Hopefully it's something that the Yankees can begin to do more often.

Yes, they need to start giving their pitchers leads so they aren't always trying to make the perfect pitch.

Greg Cohen said...

Yes, I actually think that's hurting the rookies, the Yankees aren't giving them any leads to work with. This is exactly what happened to the Yankees staff to start last season.

They never pitched with a lead and were always trying to be perfect, and it led to a 21-29 record.

Greg Cohen said...

OH NO... looks like A-Rod pulled a hamstring or something.

This is the last thing this teams needs.

Wasn't this team supposed to be in great shape coming out of General Joe's boot camp?

I guess all that running didn't helped one bit.

Greg Cohen said...

You can say that again, with the way the offense is struggling losing A-Rod would be a disaster.

i want Giambi off the team now.. Shelley.. Shelley .. Shelley!

Anonymous said...

This is a perfect time for my daily "Giambi sucks" comment.

Seriously, why is this guy still on this team, and why is he still getting starts?

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, I can't understand why he's still here either. The Jays had no problem eating 9 million to cut Frank Thomas, the Yankees should do the same with Giambi.

Anonymous said...

And now Giambi throws the ball into left field. Seriously, this is ridiculous.

i'd rather have the pope at first

Greg Cohen said...

hahahahaha,

I really can't understand why Girardi has any confidence in this guy.

Anonymous said...

Me too anonymous. I hate Jason Giambi.

its about time JD!

Greg Cohen said...

Yea, it looks like Damon is starting to come out of it, which will be huge for the Yankee offense.

Anonymous said...

those damn red sox came back again. S.O.B, it seems like every other day they're scoring 3 in the 8th to win.

Greg Cohen said...

Yea it's very frustrating, they're playing very good baseball the last 10 games or so. That's why it's important for the Yankees to start winning some ball games. They can't afford to fall further and further behind.
