Fuck it, I give in. The Filthies are winning the East. The Mets bullpen just can't hold a lead, not even against the worst teams in the league.
4 against the Nats and 4 against the Pirates coming up...and that's not gonna save them. |

The back-to-back duo of David Wadding and Joseph Roxer would be able to produce a better obp% than an Adam Dunn and Mark Reynolds combo.
True. |

I know we traded him to get power but it'll be hard hittin HRs when he's fighting the windy backdrafts from his whiffs.

Gotta sweep the Twins to make this road trip some sort of success.
Ian Kennedy got sent back down and Billy Traber got called up. Can't wait till Wang and Hughes get the all clear. |

I don't understand Joe Girardi sometimes. The Yankees need to win games, and fast. Yet he decides to bench Damon (who is the leading hitter in the AL) and Giambi?
He thinks about match-ups far too much and its kind of frustrating. I'm guessing he benched them because the Yanks are facing a lefty. But lefty hitters are batting .340 or something off him. Not really sure how he expects to win when the number 7-8-9-1 hitters are Sexson-Pudge-Melky-Christian. Kind of terrible. |

He's got too many choices. I've said it before, he's trying to get all his guys at bats and it might end up costing them a playoff spot. Rookie manager.

I dunno though. He really doesn't have that many GOOD choices.
Sexson is terrible and should barely ever play. And both Christian/Melky shouldn't be in the same lineup on the same day. One or the other is fine but both isn't a good thing. It's definitely hurt the team a couple games this year though. He needs to just run a consistent lineup out there the rest of the way. He has the DH spot pretty much open so he can still give guys days off from the field. |

I never said he had good choices, just lots of choices and some of the names of those guys have had big numbers before so I guess he thinks he owes it to them. Rookie thinking.
Example: I'd never play Sexson, I'd leave him on the bench and if I made the playoffs, fine, he could come off the bench. |

Might as well be, its only his second year.
This shit worked in Florida since they didnt have many stars, and they were all young guys that were sort of equal. He needs to just play the best guys in NY. |

I also would rather have had Donnie Baseball as manager. I know he was green, but Girardi isnt that experienced.

Dunn is a huge pickup. He whiffs alot, but is still going to hit mad home runs, and with a decent team, going to put up huge RBI numbers

What do you expect from Adam Dunn? He's probably the most predictable player in MLB. He will hit .230, get walked a lot, K 150 times, and hit 40 home runs.

NOt sure why Dunn is looked down upon, he drives in a lot of runs, hits a lot of HRs. People just want more from him, they're not happy with the fact he's doing what everyone hoped he'd do.

Yeah, everyone just seems put off by his average.
The average shouldn't mean much when he gets on base as much as him and knocks in as many runs as he does. |

Exactly. Dunn is an 80s slugger. He has great OBP, runs scored, RBI and HRs.
How many guys hit 290 and dont produce nearly as many runs? It is more than worth it. His slugging is good too. Basically, if you add 30 slap singles that mean nothing to his team's wins/loss, his average would be better and you would all be sucking his cock. |

Red Sox are on pace to win 93 games I think, Yankees need to go 30-13, which I can't see happening.

The fact that they have 6 games against TB and 6 games against Boston left is what can help them make a push. Its not gonna be easy but I don't think its out of the question.
Hughes and Pavano (lol) should be back soon. Joba too depending on how his throwing goes. 9 games back of the Rays is a large task obviously but they did lose Crawford and Longoria for a while. Crawford probably for the season. Bottom line is the Yanks just need to start playing better, and quick. |

Paul Byrd got traded to the Red Sox today, guess he's been pitching real well since the All Star break. Sox had to do something, Buchholz has been awful and Wakefield just went on the DL.
Charlie Zink is pitching tonight for the Sox, Knuckleballer from Triple-A |

Manuel pinch-hits for Santana with the Mets only up by 1 after 7 innings. Santana only threw 97 pitches.
I'm off the Jerry Manuel bandwagon now. The pen is clearly gonna blow his start again. |
