Stinkees at detriot

[Pharmcat]

why is it that every struggling pitcher finds their groove and owns us?

this team is done

fire cash, fire joe, start from scratch

[TKF]

I also created a thread, I didn't see yours, maybe we did it at the same time.. LOL..

Our pitching has not lived up to billing so far... where is our stopper? CC is supposed to be that guy and we are down 4-0.. we need A-rod back on the field and in the lineup.. it is real simple.. we also need Teixera to start getting some hits and RBI's!!

[TKF]

at this point. teixera is useless... guy is really hurting us..

[TKF]

man on first and second and no outs..

Damon: pop out

Tex: pop out

matsui: strike out..

LOL.. Same old BS as last year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TKF]

boston about to win 11th straight.. LOL.. wow.. 3 runs in the 9th for them.... wow... hahaha

[Pharmcat]

the yanks are done

theres no reason to even follow them anymore

no heart, no skill, no nothing

[Pharmcat]

even if the yanks do make a run later this year, it wont be enough as the red sox will prolly be 15 games up on the division

Tex: pop out

we could have easily done manny for 2 years and 40-45 mil....

I didn't think we needed both cc and burnett, but we will see how this works out..

again. massive spending, fat contracts, fat happy and content players... subpar play from the yankees..

[Pharmcat]

actually Posada looks POed....i wonder if the players will give up on Joe G now

expecially CC....he didnt want to come here...we made a offer that was 40 million larger than any other and tat wasnt good enough for him....so we had to give him 20 more, another year, and a opt out clause to get him here....he is here for the $$, nothing else

[HCYanks]

Sabathia went 8 innings, struck out 7, had no walks, and his hit total wasn't particularly atrocious. He keeps pitching like this, he'll be pretty damn good over the long term. The Yankees are 9-10 in a historically bad month for them in a historically bad month for their second best hitter without their best hitter seeing a pitch. There's problems here, but the season's not over. Calm the **** down.

our best hitter wont be 100% this year

slow starts are hard to overcome (see last year)

same s***, different year

We don't know that. In fact, since everything has been going swimmingly with his rehab so far, i'd say there's a great chance he'll be fine productively.

This isn't a horrifically slow start; they're one game below .500. The sweep looked kinda bad, but Friday was a game the Yankees almost always win, Sunday was close most of the way and still winnable at the end, and Saturday looked like an easy win until Burnett randomly imploded mid-game. Tonight, the Yankees outhit the Tigers and came up short because their starter had a bad inning despite outstanding peripherals. The basic concept of a small sample size doesn't go out the window just because the team is on a losing streak.

same s***, different year

There's a damn good chance the World Series winner will be a team hovering around .500 now or worse. The Rays are 8-12, the Cubs are 9-8, and the Mets match our record. Meanwhile, the Mariners have one of the best records in baseball and the Pirates and Padres (arguably the two worst teams in the league) are above .500.

Is it too much to ask to not see Chicken Littling in April?

Regardless of whether A-rod is 100% or not, he's still 10X the player Ransom is. We could see A-rod at 25% healthy and he'd still be better then Ransom.

Yeah slow starts are hard to overcome, but this years team actually has legitimate pitchers, not a staff full of scrubs/minor league pitchers. CC is a notoriously slow starter, as is Mark Tex. Things could be much worse then they are.

pretty much agree.. I hope we are wrong, but that seems to be the case...

It seems like we are losing games the same way we did last year..

BAd pitching, blown leads, no hitting and struggling star players.... last year this was a recipe for disaster, I see the same thing so far.. Hopefully I am wrong, but I hate what I am seeing now..

[meatball sub]

At least Hughes is on the bump today so at least we have a better chance of winning than if Wang were pitching.

his great stretch came in NL where lineups dont go more than 7 deep, + he was pitching for a contract


there is no way he repeats that this year or any year in the next 7

He won the cy young award in the AL in 2007...
