PrintFive games against the Red Sox, five losses. How to characterize what I feel right now?
Disappointed? Disturbed? Dismayed? Disgusted? Disgruntled? I have so many thoughts about this team running through my head its hard to organize them.
Maybe later today when I have had a chance to think about it more I will do some analysis. Right now, I can't.
How do you guys feel about this team after the last two nights?

I don't know what to think of it.
You look at how the sux scored their runs, all in the 4th. A few bloop hits here and there then a blast.
You have to say, they really play like the Yanks from 1996-2001 aka the dynasty years. Bloop, blast clutch hits. Good defense—-Mike Lowel just puts on a show when he plays the Yanks. Coutless times absolute rockets get hit to him and he just gobbles them up like its nothing—what could have been.
Id rather the Yankees lose 5 in a row to these guys NOW than later in the season. I know the early ones count as much as the later ones, but I’d rather the Yankees be firing on all cylinders from August on than in April and May.
Its scary
What ever made the Yankees go away from what made them so good in the past I have no idea.
It almost makes me want to bring back Buck Showalter for a year or 2 then fire him so they can go back to the way they played.
Its big FA signings vs. MLB draft and scouting for the Sux. They’ve signed guys like Dice-K, but then they’ve been building up the farm so that they can make trades for Beckett (and Lowell of course) while giving up guys like Hanley Ramirez, all without blinking an eye cuz there’s more where that came from.
The Yanks were never like the Rays of course, but you look at guys like Pettite, Rivera, Posada, Jetes and Bernie Williams, this is the Yankees. A few trades or smart signings for the rest of the guys, then there you go.

I know exactly how I feel...
Disgusted. The same excuses we hear season after season. With the assets Cashman and Hal provided this team there simply isn’t any valid excuse for this sort of performance. I don’t want to hear about injuries, when someone goes down someone steps up, case in point, Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox seem to bring this “never say die” attitude to every game, and as Ed Mentioned, that is exactly the attitude the Yankees used to have. Regardless of the score, you can never count them out.
No need to go over the litany of problems that are plaguing the Yankees, we all know what they are. Get them fixed, now. This is the season that people need to be held accountable. No excuses about “rebuilding”. get it done or get out.
That I agree with
This is a season that needs to be a good one. It’s very early, but you can’t like the injuries, the crummy bullpen and the general ‘feel’ around the team with all the stuff that’s been going on.
The most frustrating thing for me
is the lack of hitting with RISP. I feel like we are simply snake bitten. We have a bunch of guys that have the ability, but inexplicably they don’t get the job done. Why is this such a problem the last couple of years? I really have no clue.
On the positive side, Joba was just plain filthy after his rough start. This kid is amazing.
May
I am not happy about this. But…
And I hate to be the one to drag cliches into the conversation…. It’s early May.
The Red Sox are playing the best baseball they are going to play all year right now. Jason Bay is not going to 84 home runs. Jason Varitek is only going to get tired and be even easier to get out.
The Yankees are going to get stronger.
CC Sabathia always starts slow. For that matter, so does Mariano Rivera. I like the fact that Phil Hughes is part of the rotation. The more starts he gets in the majors the better. I will accept some rocky starts from him. I have not lost faith in him. I think the kid has tremendous potential. I still think we are going to see something good out of Brett Gardner.
At some point this season the bad economy is going to work in the Yankees favor. The Yankees are going to acquire another bat for the outfield at a bargain price. Maybe even another bull pen pitcher.
My overall point is, the Yankees have a solid club with the potential for several good things to happen… AND THEY HAVEN’T PLAYED THEIR BEST BASEBALL YET.
The Yankees traditionally are a second half team. All I want is for the Yankees to stay close to the division lead until the All Star Break.
The second half of the season belongs to us.
Keep the faith, brothers.
Go Yankees!
"Holy Cow, I think he's gonna make it!"
Going forward
As bad as things are now — major injuries, empty seats at the new Stadium (not to mention the RF jet stream), underperforming superstars, dearth of AAA position players available to call up, atrocious bullpen, equally atrocious bench… I could go on — Yankee fans should brace themselves for the the mother of all monkey wrenches that awaits. I’m speaking about the return of A-Rod. Indications are that he may be back as soon as the Orioles series this weekend. Will his bat be welcome? No doubt. Theoretically, he will improve and lengthen the entire lineup (Tex finally gets some protection). Having said that, how will he perform with this traveling media circus sticking to him like Velcro? After all, he is no Barry Bonds. Not mentally anyway. Bonds was able to put on blinders and shut all distractions out. Alex doesn’t have this kind of focus. His psyche is as fragile as hand-blown glass. He actually embraces this neurotic persona. What other ballplayer would not only admit to a reporter that he’s seeing a shrink, but actually have one of his PR people pitch the story to a glossy NY magazine? The tipping pitches allegation in Roberts’ book is the real sticking point. Roids? HGH? Too many guys have experimented with these pharmaceuticals to make it much of an issue. But tipping pitches to opposing batters is potentially destructive. Even if he didn’t do it (and, honestly, at this point, would you be surprised if he did?), this is not the type of thing that promotes clubhouse chemistry. A-Rod is toxic. Everyone in pinstripes is sick of the headlines about Madonna and homoerotic photo shoots and foot-in-mouth sound bites. Watching Pena fill in at third these past couple weeks, I felt a sense of calm I haven’t felt since Scott Brosious manned the hot corner. Here was a guy that went about his business and just by the way he carried himself was a credit to the franchise. Can we say that about A-Rod? Hardly. The Yankees will never win no. 27 with this guy on the team. And we have him for another seven years? God help us.
Ramiro Pena's .683 OPS is great
You know what the real problem with A-Rod is? The idiots who help perpetuate this constant cycle of rumor and innuendo about him. They are they ones who enable the media to keep reporting this garbage and revel in it.
Anybody capable of a google search will find out that Selena Roberts has an ax to grind against institutions she perceives to be sexist or racist. Look at her reporting on the Duke Lacrosse scandal. Knowing this, how can any mentally competent adult take anything she says about A-Rod seriously? Nothing she writes is fair, balanced, or impartial. What kind of journalist can only back up her most damning allegations with “unnamed sources”? And what is the difference between citing an unnamed source and simply fabricating the allegation completely?
What crime has A-Rod committed? Lying to Katie Couric? Being one of thousands who have taken banned substances that only hurt himself? Taking his shirt off in Central Park? Divorcing his wife? Caring too much about what people think? Dating Madonna (a crime against his man-parts, yes, but not against society)?
Last I checked, Joba Chamberlain got a DUI, which is FAR worse than any of those things. Where’s the outrage over that?
Eephus101, I’m assuming you’re a reasonable person. Plase, stop this nonsense. This is a baseball forum, not a gossip forum. If that sort of thing interests you, then subscribe to the National Enquirer and start watching Entertainment Weekly.
If you guys want to talk about baseball, let’s do it. But a lot of this stuff isn’t on a much higher level than playground gossip by fourth graders. This is going to be the last time I say this politely.
He took steroids
and is a cheater.
Stop trying to think the best
I didn't like the old one very much. I didn't see the ball there very well. - Julio Lugo on the old Yankees Stadium.
It's still early...
I’d like to hope that once this team is 100% healthy, that everything will improve. But as they stand right now…..I don’t see much winning on the horizon. the bullpen stinks. The hitters can’t hit in the clutch. the starters are all shaky. Every aspect of the team is weak right now. the best we can hope for is that when the injured return, the ship gets going in the right direction.
As far as the pitching goes…maybe they need a new pitching coach…someone who was a great pitcher or something….maybe gregg madux can teach some of these guys something.
As far as the hitters…..one huge weakness I see is that when they get 2 strikes, they don’t swing the bat….they dont protect the plate and swing to foul off and stay alive. I’ve seen may 3rd strikes while looking. Swing the damn bat!
I think Tex will bet fixed as soon as Arod gets back, and when Posada returns the offense will improve. But I’d still like to see a more agressive team on the base paths. Maybe they aren’t the fastest bunch….but how about a hit and run…..how about some bunts??? do something!
Coaching
Joe Girardi Is doing a terrible job. The team shows no chemistry. I feel as if he has no power over his team. They do not respect him as they did Torre.
I don't think that's true
while Girardi hasn’t looked good this year and last, its HARD to believe that Joe Torre wouldn’t be doing the same type of stuff.
Just like Torre when the last years when they didn’t win in the playoffs, Girardi has been snakebitten by key injuries, and even unfathomable stuff like C M Wang seemingly self destructing this year. People expected Joba to struggle a bit, he’s 23, but Wang? Guy was an ace.
Chemistry in baseball is a myth. You don’t need it to be good. Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent wanted to kill each other, but that didn’t stop them from getting to the WS and being one of the best 3-4 hitters in the game for a while.
The Yanks need to start going back to small ball a bit more. None of this cross your fingers for a HR bullcrap.
Hit and run, bunting, going the other way with the pitch, moving the runner over. It seems only guys like Jeter and Damon get it, Jorge when he’s there gets it too. Its no wonder that that THESE are the guys that have won before…..Not the other guys.
The Yankees for the past few years have relied on trying to hit HR way too much. This is their biggest problem (Tex, Matsui, Swisher…..All have been trying to kill the ball when they are up at the plate.)

Molina
Good God. A guy who was brought in for defense can’t play defense. He drops foul outs, doesn’t hustle to other balls, his glove has a hole in it. Unbelieveable. Plus, he can’t hit. Perfect.
We can fix alot of problems just by putting Joba in the Bullpen once Wang returns. With Bruney, Joba, and Mo its basically a 6 inning game. The Bullpens roles would then be defined and they can weed out the garabe that can’t find the strikezone (Veras, Edwar). Then we can go with 11 pitchers instead of 13 and make our bench deeper and be able to do more manuevering during the game. The team also has to be smarter about injuries. We all saw Posada limping down the 1st baseline a couple weeks ago and he ended up playing 2 nights later. If his hammy was sore he shouldve been given more time off or put on the DL earlier. Now it is alot worse and we will be missing him longer. And while Damon is hitting well, there is something wrong with his shoulder and it needs to be looked at. Saying ‘I don’t wanna know whats wrong with it" is simply inexcusable for a player and organization. If he’s hurt get it fixed before it gets worse and he is out 2 months. I don’t know who to blame more, Girardi or Cashman, but the Yankees are a mess right now and they are being managed/run like crap!! Something needs to change!
After last night
I still can’t believe I am hearing so much Joba in the Bullpen chatter. It’s not happening anytime soon.

because
people are dumb. Joba is never going back to the pen.

Joba to the bullpen
who takes his spot in the rotation?
if someone could answer this question with a legitimate option, then maybe we can have a argument. but until a realistic candidate emerges, the “Joba to the bullpen” talk is bunk.
by SBakerTheTouchdownMaker on May 6, 2009 12:55 PM EDT up reply actions
Well maybe if you read what I wrote you would understand. I said once Wang is healthy put Joba back in the pen. Does anyone have a problem with a rotation of CC, Burnett, Pettitte, Wang, Hughes once Wang is back???? I sure as hell don’t!! And since one of or biggest problems right now is our bullpen it makes since. Were wasting Joba away as a #5 starter who is on an innings limit this year. For god sake we just spent millions of dollars on the best 2 free agent pitchers in baseball but it doesn’t mean crap unless you have someone to close out the game in the last 2 or 3 innings!!
12 strikeouts in 5.2 innings
That’s why Joba’s never going to the pen.
It's the whole puzzle
The problem isn’t any one thing. With all the stories about the stadium from the idea of it to all the recent stories of empty seats, fans mislead and then turned away, Paulie and his wife getting treated with such disrespect, media outlets getting extorted basically. Add the Arod tabloids and the atmosphere has nothing welcoming about it. This team has issues from the top down.
Disappointed? Disturbed? Dismayed? Disgusted? Disgruntled?
How about DISABLED?
A-Rod. Posada. Nady. Wang. Marte. Bruney.
These aren’t just bit players on the shelf.
Exactly
This is what happened last year too. And a few years back, with Sheff and Matsui being out for most of the year.
The Yanks have been snake bitten the past few seasons. It really no excuse I guess, but if you look at the guys they lost, it really kinda is. Also add the fact that Jetes was injured most of last year but refused to come out and obviously A-Rod was in pain most of the year too.
Call these excuses, but these guys are good players for a reason. I doubt that the Red Sox would be as good as they were last year if guys like Youkilis and Pedrioa were out or banged up so that they were less than even 80% for most of the year.
Just to
throw a few random farts out here regarding the season thus far:
1. It is May 6th not September 6th
2. Not only are the Red Sox homegrown players out performing those of the Yankees to this date, but the free agent acquisitions have also worked out better for Theo than for Cash. i.e both teams got a Japanese pitcher Matsuzaka vs Higwah; both teams got guys from the Marlins fire sale Lowell and Becket vs Pavano; both teams got players from the Pirates fire sale Bay vs Nady and Marte.
3. Joba and Hughes have shown flashes thus far, but consistency is what seperates major leaguers from minor leaguers and what seperates major league stars from major league alsorans. Still early for them though, we need to realize these guys are 22 and 23 y.o. respectively and remember that prime years for pitchers are usually from 25-30.
4. Too many wasted scoring opportunities. There was earlier mention of hits with RSIP, but how about a simple deep fly ball with runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs??
5. At this time, as much as it galls me to say it, the Red Sox seem to have more ’fire in the belly"
6 all this said, they are only 3 games back in the loss column and have had the litnay of injuries others have mentioned. Still plenty of time to right this ship. Lotta baseball left to be played

Joba Joba Joba
Hey the good news for Joba is now his mother is in pin stripes too!!!!
and by the way unless the yankees bullpen magicaly gets better they won’t be playing ball in october this season.
i don’t care if rivera is going to get better the redsox kill him even when he’s on top of his game everytime
the yankees are the perfect team for america big spending with no results!
Bullet for Brian, Randy?

Keep Faith
I think the Yankees are just struggling earlier on the season. I dont really know what was wrong with our manager but he should’ve left Joba in the game. 8 consecutive strikeouts!, come on, leave him in. Girardi should’ve left him in for atleast that inning and then maybe consider taking him out. It was a stupid choice and if it wasnt for that first inning, that wouldve been an excellent outing by Joba. We just need to shape up and im not worried because we arent one of the better teams in the first half of the year but we cant fall back too much either. Lets just see how things play out
It used to be fine
To start off poorly for the Yanks in the East because it was Boston and us and a bunch of AAA teams. Now with Toronto as a good looking team, Boston being Boston, and Tampa who is sick with young talent, we cannot afford to go a dry for a month or two.

Much more than gossip
What 3460kuri fails to grasp is that it is immaterial whether or not the pitch tipping scenario involving A-Rod is true or not. The fact that people write about him (and the fact that he seems to have an insatiable appetite for press clippings) makes him a huge distraction within the tightly scripted Pinstripe Universe. Every Yankee, to a man, will dismiss the book and say that they haven’t read it. These will be lies. They will read it, and BTW, with great interest. Imagine what guys like Pettitte, CC and AJ are thinking about all this. You don’t think that they’re repulsed at the thought that this kind of thing is being discussed? They are. This kind of thing only breeds paranoia and contempt. Moreover, does anyone not believe that as I write this some MLB drones aren’t screening many hours of Texas Ranger game tapes, looking for telltale signs of middle infield espionage? (they have access to lots of camera angles that TV viewers don’t). Whether it’s the on-the-field antics (glove slap on Arroyo, the scream during the popup rounding second) or the off-the-field debacles (Madonna, stripper escorts, et al.), there is no downtime for Alex. As long as he is a Yankee, he is more of a hindrance than a help. If Hank and Hall could rescind the contract right now, they would. All the PED use will catch up with him eventually. Indeed, it might already have started. Can anyone say with any certainty that this latest hip injury isn’t steroid-related? What Cashman need to do -assuming that this isn’t his final year as GM - is to make future acquisitions with something other than stats in mind. Team chemistry (i.e. the dynasty years under Torre) needs to be taken more seriously. As much as I loath the Red Sox, I have to admit that Theo & Co. have done a superior job assessing personnel and assembling rosters. They also don’t squander draft picks when they are available, something the Yankees seem to pay little mind to. Equally important, the Yankee front office needs to know when to let players walk. This misplaced sentimentality only handicaps teams in terms of payroll and flexibility. It didn’t used to be this way. Even the great Babe was served his pink slip when he was past his prime. Meanwhile, the Sox know exactly when to cut players loose: Pedro? Have a good time in Queens. Damon? Thanks for the memories. Millar? Bye-Bye! Even Varitek, the anchor/captain of the team, only got a one-year deal. What does Cashman give Posada—4 years. This has to stop. Not only do we bid against ourselves, driving up the price of players for no reason, we give them long-term contracts that are beyond ludicrous. This all has to stop. We need fresh blood in the front office. And don’t even get me started about GI Joe. He is way out of his depth. Meanwhile, Torre takes a ragtag Dodger team to the playoffs last season and is threatening to run away with the NLW this season. I will still watch every Yankee inning this season. Hey, I’m a degenerate. But I am not at all optimistic about this team going forward.
I disagree with plenty of that.
Most of this A-Rod stuff is all the media just looking at him as THE story. Who the hell cares what he does? I don’t at all, but obviously casual baseball fans do. People like drama, and A-Rod apparently has plenty of that.
How come Jeter goes through hot hollywood actress after the next and you never hear about it? Cuz he’s Jeter that’s why.
And how did the Dodgers have a rag tag squad last year? Not only do they play in the extremely young and weak NL West, but they also had one of the greatest 2nd half’s ever by Manny, not exactly rag tag there.
And why would Cashman NOT re-sign Posada. Looking at what’s happening to the guy right now is hindsight, but look at the season the guy had..Damn near MVP.
But I do 100000000% AGREE that this is Cashman’s last year, be it fired or contract not redone if the Yanks miss the playoffs. He hasn’t done well aside from spend on big money guys. The entire Yanks scouting department needs an overhaul, and Im sure there are plenty of guys who would love to be paid as much as the Yanks would pay.
Eephus, I edited out the stupid, asinine, juvenile bullshit. The rest is fine.

Maybe I was right..............
I said 3rd place. We may be in last! This team is so incredibly awful! I’ve officially given up! No hope! I kept holding onto hope that maybe just maybe they would somehow get it turned around! No chance! I say we will NEVER be a dynasty again! Cashman is clueless! We have no offense no starting no bullpen no manage no GM. What a joke! I think all Yankees ticket holders should get their money back because this team doesn’t have any hope or clue on what it takes to win! I’m starting to sense a pattern. That people are saying what I’m saying. So for all you people who ripped on me for thinking this was a 3rd place and saying that we would have a rough year should own up and say I was right

From then to now
One thing is certain. When the yanks glory years begain, King George was out of the game…suspended, and purely baseball people took over. What yout got was one of the greatest dynasties ever.
Ever since he came back, it was down down down……
So…what needs to be done. Ownership needs to decided that winning what they are about and let baseball people run the show. Sure Cashman is supposed to be in charge…but do you believe that? Maybe Cashman needs to go…..not Joe G. Maybe the pitching coach needs to go too. Maybe the Yanks need to have a brawl…something to light their fire. Maybe that cushy clubhouse inspires them to sleep and not play hard.
I dunno.
Injuries are what they are. But being afraid to throw strikes, not having players bunt, not protecting the plate when you have two strikes…..that’s the players and management.
Yes
I agree that the baseball people should run the show and maybe things could be different. And Joe and Dave Eyland should go. But the Steinbrenners are not about to let that happen. I hate to say this but maybe in a way this is good for baseball. I don’t know. I’m just so embarassed to be a Yankee fan right now. I just wanna crawl in a hole and stay there. It’s everyone from the owners on down. This team needs a major overhaul.

One More Thing
Some of you are talking about the yankees and the glory days
here is the thing the yankees in there glory days were all using roids
just look at this posted in your HOMETOWN newspaper
http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/galleries/bad_bombers/bad_bombers.html#ph0
Now that most of the yankees are afraid to juice up they suck. Plain and Simple. Giambi was a perfect example of that. Deny it all you want your team was only good when they cheated and now that they can’t cheat they are playing the way the should of been playing all along. I don’t think there has been any team in baseball with more steroid users.
Cheers!
I don't know which team you root for
but if you think that none of the key players on your team were using PEDs right up until they absolutely couldn’t anymore, you are dreaming.
by long time listener on May 6, 2009 3:13 PM EDT up reply actions
i root for
the other team this whole blog is talking about. Born and raised in MA. Obviously there are players that were using but my point is not as much as players for the yankees because they feel this pressure that they have to be great because they play for a “dynasty” which the yankees are.
Name a few key redsox players that were cheating.
No one really knows
who was cheating other than who got caught and the names that got leaked. So we really couldn’t have a true argument over who cheated and who didn’t .Obviously a couple of Yankees got caught and tested positive but it’s stupid to argue this because no one really has any facts. Besides its over and baseball put testing in place. Honestly I really don’t care who cheated on the Yankees Red Sox or any other team.

there are more sports than baseball
its basketball playoffs exciting!
nhl playoffs sort of exciting.
football training camps and off season drama.
I have never cried because of a baseball game ever not even in 2003
I'm just emotional
about the teams I love. My life centers around sports. I know there are more sports than baseball. Baseball is probably 3rd on my list behind the NHL and NASCAR. But its especially frustrating when we are 0-5 against the Red Sox. That just makes me so mad! My life centers around sports and right now its basesball season and the Yankees are my team. So there you go. I’m not gonna quit being emotional about my favorite teams. I know I should settle down but I’m not going to. I still love my Yankees

How do you acutally know who to cheer for in Nascar? Its not like one driver or drive team represents an area.
