Giambi 5th again? Why?

How bad does he have to do to be moved down in the order?

Greg Cohen said...

Girardi is too damn stubborn for his own good.

Greg Cohen said...

Both Sox lost, Yanks can move to within 5 with a win. Hey, it's a start.

Come on Carl!

This has wasted opportunity written all over it.

Greg Cohen said...

Hahahaha, isn't it fitting that the day I decide to bring up Giambi's struggles, he starts the night going 2-for-2 with a homer and 3 RBI?

Whoa, a 1-2-3 inning for Carla.

No harm no foul anon.

Good job by Pavano. 5 IP, 3 ER, not too bad, I'll take it.

Jon Bachrach said...

hey.. close games the past two days... looks like the orioles and yanks are evenly matched

Anonymous said...

Jon Bachrach said...

I know...I just mean that the yankees should be playing better this season...

Anonymous said...

That's for sure.

Yea Matsui, big hit.

Greg Cohen said...

The was a huge insurance run. They could use a couple more. Hey Jon, whats up?

Jon Bachrach said...

Nm just downloading some apps for my iPhone... there are some pretty cool programs for it... did you play softball today?

Jon Bachrach said...

i'd play tomorrow...

Greg Cohen said...

I think so.

The exception doesn't disprove the rule. It proves it. One example of Giambi doing well doesn't make up for all his garbage and men LOB. He's been killing us.

Jon Bachrach said...

he has taken too many steroids his muscles are starting to atrophy

Jon Bachrach said...

here is our star player

Greg Cohen said...

I totally agree that it doesn't change the fact he's been terrible.

Greg Cohen said...

Nice win, goodnight folks, thanks for the comments.
