PREGAME NOTES:

Yanks were 8-12 on the season without A-Rod in the starting lineup and averaged 4.1 runs per game. Obviously, not all is ice cream and puppy dogs with this team right now, but frankly, I feel like singing.
Chris Britton has been sent packing to Scranton to make room for A-Rod on the roster.
Daniel Cabrera is a lifetime 4-6, 4.81 ERA, 1.59 WHIP in 14 starts against the Yanks - including a victory at Camden Yards on April 18.
Moose is a lifetime 10-6, 4.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP in 23 starts against the Orioles, including 1-1, 6.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP in 3 starts in 2007.
Yankees' career numbers vs. Cabrera can be viewed here. Orioles career numbers vs. Moose can be viewed here.
In minor league news, Chad Jennings reports that Dan McCutchen has been promoted to Scranton after posting excellent numbers for the Trenton Thunder.

Let's go Moose

We need you!

Welcome back Arod! Ease back into it.

Man! 32 pitches

that error really hurts us. Bases clearing double.

Crowds are won and lost and won again, but our hearts beat for the diehards.

Jeter

What the hell is he staring down Cano for???? Make an accurate throw jackass.

Having said that, YES should give us an overhead shot so we can see where Cano was postioned and how quickly or not quickly he moved to cover the bag.

They had one shot

It looked like Cano wasn’t going to get there; but to me it didn’t look like he was going to get Millar anyway or at best it would have been extremely close.

Either way, if he didn’t thow it 3 feet over Giambi’s head; it was end of inning.

maybe the MVP's return has got his intangibles rankled

Not a good inning for the Captain

That wasn’t a very good illustration of on-field leadership staring down Cano when he was the guy who didn’t make the routine throw which opened the floodgates.

And to follow that up with the DP in the bottom half of the inning doesn’t make it any easier.

OK

I think that if this doesn’t turn soon.

We need a change at Manager.

This team looks bad.

This team looks divided.

I really do not remember them being this bad this long.

Cbeck...

I’m surprised at you. Do you really think changing managers again is going to solve anything?

by anaconda on May 20, 2008 8:03 PM EDT up 0 recs

Gotta change something

What can you change.

sell the team to Mark Cuban

Out of the frying pan

into the fire

Plus

I do not like the team’s spirit. The thing with Jeter showing up Cano. This is bad.

I haven’t really thought about changing til this game.

Team spirit will change when they start a win streak. I’ve alway thought the whole chemistry argument is overrated. The ‘77 Bronx Zoo Yankees had bad team chemistry and still won. Same with the ‘86 Mets. Lots of degenerates on that team.

I agree that Jeter shouldn’t have done that to Cano, but hey, even the Captain is human.

I’m not even close to being ready to stick a fork in this team.
