Simply disgusting

It's hard to imagine the Yanks' pitching perform any worse than it did last night.  Absolutely pathetic.  

The outing by Colter Bean ranks atop the list of worst performances by any Yankee in the 21st Century.  Hopefully, we won't see him throw another pitch for this team and was sent packing to Scranton last night before the game ended.

You have to believe that either Chris Britton or Ron Villone will be returning to the team as soon as today.  My money is on Villone, but I hope I'm wrong.

Britton is clearly in Cashman and/or Torre's doghouse for whatever reason, but he will quickly change their opinion of him if he can get major-league hitters out.  He just needs to be given the opportunity.

As others have noted, he's already had a successful season in the big-leagues under his belt and is pitching well in Triple-A Scranton:  6 AP, 6.1 IP, 5 SVs, 0.00 ERA.   I simply don't understand why this kid is not being given the opportunity to show what he can do.

The only good thing to come out of last night's embarrassing loss is that both Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu had three hits apiece and appear to be breaking out of their slumps.  Also, the Yanks' offense did score 11 runs -- I guess that should count for something.

The Yanks desperately need Wang to pitch a good ballgame today and save the pen because it will be worked extensively yet again on Sunday and Monday with rookies Darrell Rasner and Matt DeSalvo taking the mound.

Whether it's Jon Lieber or someone else, the Yanks NEED to make a move and get someone who is capable of pitching 6 innings on a consistent basis.  If not, this team is toast.

They can ill-afford to run two rookies out there every 5 days against the absolutely brutal competition they are going to face the second half of May (ChiSox, NYM, BoSox, LAA, and TOR) and the first week of June (ChiSox and BoSox).

Work your magic, Brian Cashman.  Now.

Does it matter?
  Which ever stop gap we get, he's going to pull a hammy and go on the DL after 1 start.

   It's not that we don't have good pitchers that can go 6 or more, it's the ridiculas rate of hammy pull this team is getting. NO team in the MLB can lose even 3 starter... let alone 5 (Wang Moose Pavano Hughes Karsten)and continue to be great, there's depth, and then there's beyond depth, the Yankees had depth going in, but no depth is enough to replace the whole damn rotation.

   I suppose a trade is possible but i have a hard time seeing us not getting riped off this early AND getting a useful pitcher , it will take a ton of luck. though Cash have proven to be pretty good at such luck trades (see Chacon )

   speaking of Rockies pitcher, BY Kim is definately availble, though i highly doubt any of us would be comfortable seeing him on the mound, espically consider that YS is probably the second worest stadium for a righty submariner (only worse than Coors)

Speaking of Rockies pitchers
Glad to see Cashman passed on Tsao when he could have had him for nothing. The kid is back to throwing smoke.

Cashman should be thankful....

I wish I did
The first thing i would do would be to take the doll's head out of its ass to get the damn Yankees out of the cellar!

What about Damon?
he looked really bad after his last at bat and came up gimp... I didn't watch the postgame, is he alright?

I don't know how
the team didn't go out there and just assault Bean.  I don't know how they suppressed the urge to scream WTF at him every two seconds like I was.  If I was within 50 feet of him I would clocked him in the head.

Because WTF
is much harder to say than "what the fuck?" It also doesn't carry as much force either.

*correction "PG"
I just noticed: "I would clocked him in the head."
