Wow look at this from Peter Abraham's blog:

"You can’t make this stuff up. Pavano skipped his bullpen session today because of a stiff neck. Why do the Yankees even bother?"

Unreal.

Yea Rasner!!!

n.t. said...

Just heard about the stiff neck. What will it be next time? He's already been down the 'bruised buttocks' road...

It's amazing. I really believe a lot of this is bull, and he's just scared to get back on an MLB mound.

Greg Cohen said...

A-Rod should have crushed that.

Anonymous said...

Are they really going to continue to make this bum look like Cy Young?

Come on Yankees score some fucking runs.

Greg Cohen said...

He has been a lot better lately, but it really is ridiculous how good he does against the Yanks.

This team is just a terrible hitting team. They can't hit fastballs period. And, it all starts with Arod. There has never been a bigger bum than him. You can't win games when you're 4 and 5 hitters routinely do nothing except when it doesn't matter.

Greg Cohen said...

Wow Damon, way to give away this game. They find a new way to lose everyday. DAMN IT!!!

Anonymous said...

Another game they should have won, but they won't. Fucking shit this team can't do anything right.

Damon needs to practice with the little leaguer's to learn how to catch. I hate to say it but Melky makes those plays.

Same old team and same old garbage. I wonder if Kay was bashing Girardi for starting Damon, since he was the cure, according to the media.

And, yuppers, Matsui fixed our hitting woes. Right, Hank?

This has got to be one of the most clueless FO's in baseball. What has Cashman actually accomplished with HIS players? The only bright spot all year was our bullpen and Cashman succeeded in ruining it.

LAWHOZAHER!!

A-Rod is a disaster. Yea it was a nice play, but you can't be greedy there.

Anonymous said...

What another bonehead play by $30m Arod? I think that I should just stop paying attention to the Yankees until they get rid of Arod because I HATE him.

Greg Cohen said...

Only 9 more years Anon, 9 more years.

what happened to brett gardner playing in center everyday?

we find a new way to lose every game, and its getting real old...its almost time to throw in the towel...

Greg Cohen said...

Zig,

They had to force Matsui back into the lineup, which I do understand, but over the past few seasons this team has totally forgotten that defense is very important. They also don't seem to realize that the lineup is struggling because A-Rod and Giambi aren't doing their jobs.

Yanks blew it, a hundred different ways.

But Burnett pitched great, too. Has this guy every pitched a bad game against NY?
