    Johan isn't showing me much. His fastball is 2-3 MPH slower than it used to be, and he hasn't had very good control.

    He just made Moeller look like a fool, but that's not saying much. His velocity is down, and his HR numbers have been up the last season and a half, which is never a good sign.

    Why did he send him, damn it!!! As soon as Church cut it off I knew he would be out at home. They had Jeter coming up with 2nd and 3rd no outs, you know Jeter would get him home. They may regret that, it could be 4-0.

    There was no reason to send him at all, and like you said, especially with nobody out and Jeter coming up. Stupid, stupid send by Meacham.

    Yep, that play was a killer.

    Well there goes that lead. Stupid fucking Meacham totally killed all the momentum we had, and now Santana is probably going to relax and cruse the rest of the way.

    I was just about to say hopefully a line drive comes right up the middle and hits Santana in the teeth... and then Giambi lined one right at him, and unfortunatley he caught that SOB. I never want someone to get hurt but Im very frustrated and like I just said I cant stand the Mets.

    I hate them too, but what I hate more is when coaches kill games. And Meacham single-handedly turned this game around.

    Am I the only one who wants him fired?

    I really miss Bowa, we need him for Cano too.

    Bowa was a very smart coach who rarely made a mistake.

    Damn it Andy, stop getting yourself into trouble. There has been one hard hit ball all day. But these walks, and hit batters are killers.

    Yea, he's been his own worst enemy today.

    Reilly behind the plate has a little inconsistant too, and he doesnt look comfortable with Moeller

    The umpires have been terrible all year. And not just for the Yankees, but for everyone.

    Now can this offense tied this freaking game.

    Is it physically impossible for this team to come back when behind? Were down 1 and it feels like were down by 5 or 6. COME ON!
