It's all not good....

[pags03]

I know that @ the break we got the best record but only 2 games up on the next foe?? Here are just a few concerns I got:
- Jeter @ the top of the lineup not looking at any pitches...is it me or does he 1st pitch swing at more balls this year than ever...hence hitting.278
-Granderson has been a huge let down from our production last year
- Nick Johnson, c'mon ....please....eat the contract and don't let that inflatted/pale ass ever see the field
-Big Tex power #'s coming on but he doesn't look comfortable @ the plate this year ( you notice him & AJ got more hair....cut that shit and regain your 09' forms)
-Joba is worthless & overrated....living off 07' hype but w/out the mph on the fastball
-1 more year of Posada?? Jeter/Rivera give them blank checks and fill out the zero's but Jorge is looking beat (love you though Jorgie, but it is what it is)
- our bench is terrible....Russo, Pena, Thames.......c'mon!!!!

Listen, I'll catch shit for this but I love making a move for C. Lee but that isn't the glaring weakness...make a move for a SOLID YOUNG not washed up set up man. Our bullpen isn't great. We are living off the starters but gotta play the devil, it's not gonna last all season like this and through the playoffs....we need solid production from starters, to fielding to bench and bullpen....the 2nd 1/2 is a brutal schedule. I don't see anyone from the other divisons testing us cuz they are more flawed than we are but Tampa and now the Sux getting healthy we are in for a dog fight and don't wanna blow our load before we get to the prom!!

P.S.
I was at the game on Tuesday and what a lot of classless Angel...errr Dodger Fans disrespecting The Boss and the loss of Baseball. I live in Cali now, they just don't get it....just a bunch of dumb mexicans claiming colors with 0 knowledge of the game! How dumb are Angel fans to boooo Phil Hughes who is an AL All Star (same divison as the Angels) and grew up less than 10 miles from the stadium....we should've all booooo'd after his performance but during pre game......

While yes, a setup man is something we need, and once again, our 8th inning is shit, getting Lee would have been sick, and fuck the Mariners for reneging on the deal.

Curtis Granderson, is pure unadulterated shit. I knew it the day we got him. A .250 hitter is a .250 hitter. He's garbage. Why actually get a guy who can't hit a lefty?

Of course, he can't hit a righty either.

And Nick Johnson? An injury prone guy getting injured. Who knew?

But Tex may finally be coming around, albeit 2 months later than usual. Hopefully by the time Posada's contract runs out, Romine will be ready.

Granderson has started to hit. Definately a 1st half bust, but he's 7 for his last 16, so hopefully he can build on that. I can see looking at things that way, but I look at it as Tex and Arod had subpar 1st halves, AJ, vazquez and CC all had a lousy month, Jeter is having a down year, the bullpen is a disaster and they still have the best record in baseball.Big series this weekend, can set the tone for the 2nd half, good or bad

[Jason Giambi]

Andy is gone for "at least a month", oh shit.

[MSBNYY]

Too bad we didn't send Joba down to AAA to start.

[Jason Giambi]

too bad he sucked at that too.

[MSBNYY]

Since he never got a chance to start this year, you really can't say that. He should have been sent to AAA and be forced to earn his way back on the roster. Now he went from a promising starter to a crappy reliever. His only short at returning to where he was is a massive conditioning program in the offseason.

We are the most spoiled fans on Earth. The Yankees have the best record in baseball. Do I think this team is bulletproof? Absolutely not. Can it be bumped off in the postseason? Certainly. There are definitely a couple of moves I'd like to see made, but LOL @ the gloom and doom.

[MSBNYY]

Um, we are in a tight division race in the toughest division in baseball, with a small lead. To be concerned with one of your top starting pitchers getting hurt for a month is not spoiled. Plus, spoiled is a word constantly thrown about Yankee fans wrongly. We want and expect to win every year. We never lose our hunger for more. That's not spoiled. Spoiled would be not giving a shit if we lose and taking it for granted.

We still have the best record in baseball, and we just took two out of three from the team with the second-best record in baseball. Do I hate seeing Pettitte go down? Absolutely. But I'm not in panic mode. As I said, do I think anything is guaranteed? Absolutely not.

[MSBNYY]

No one should be in panic mode. But it is a big problem. Burnett is shit this year. Vazquez has picked it up, but he's a jerk. Hughes is showing signs of slowing down. Pettitte was a reliable pitcher and a good one. It's a big deal.

Earth to Ted Lilly. Please come in....

[MSBNYY]

Ted Lilly will pitch like crap here.
