Yeah, let's just hope Wang comes to play tomorrow. We're facing Bonderman and I really want to win this series. Before we play the Angels at home I feel it's almost mandatory to win this series.

Nice. Took 3 of 4 from the Tigers, I'll take that anyday.

I'm kinda liking that Proctor for Betemit trade right now. Betemit has 12 RBI's for the Yanks so far in limited playing time and dealing Proctor allowed Joba to be called up. Been pretty dominant, even if it has been only a couple weeks. Edwar and Joba have been ridiculous out of the pen this last week or two.

Farnsworth has even had 4 straight appearances without giving up a hit. That is unheard of for him. All of a sudden the bullpen looks pretty solid with Mo-Joba-Vizcaino-Edwar-Farnsworth-Villone-Henn

I don't know how long that will last. Let's think through this......... The Yankees are taking on the Angels at home and who are the Red Sox facing the fucking Devil Rays. I don't think that we could really catch up to them because like I've said we seem to have the tougher schedule. We normally don't do to well against the Angels especially not when they're at home. I just have a feeling after we start facing Anaheim and Detroit(At home. And by that time they'll have Zumaya back probably) I think we'll be 6 or 7 games back. But like I've said that's because when the Yankees are facing them the Red Sox are facing the Rays and the White Sox before coming to the stadium for the series. Now I hope I'm wrong and we can get away some clean wins. I'm just not expecting a sweep I'd be happy with 2 out of 3.

You're almost right but since the Mariners won a game today the Yankees are second in the Wild card but they only have 1/2 a game to make up to be at the top of the wild card.

Oh, ok sorry I was just making sure. With the way Yankees are playing I wouldn't be surprised if the Yankees got to the AL East and Boston got the wild card. It's not so likely but there's still a chance if we don't go on another losing streak.

Betemit is going to fit in nicely in New York, Along with Shelley. They are both free swingers with low discapline, but in that line up they see meatballs left and right.

Abreu has been stellar since the Break, Melky locked up center field for the next few years, Cano is amazing, and even Giambi has been looking good since coming back. Things are coming together.

You are all going to hate this one. Joba is amazing. Mo is old and has been looking like shit. I say let him walk, give Joba a chance or sign a FA Closer. For what they are going to pay him, Mo doesnt perform anymore. He has had a LONG dominant career, but even he is going to lose it someday (Which might just be now)

Resign Jorge, Let Mo Walk, Resign ARod to 50 mil a year if need be, Drop Damon (who is basically a DH that bats 240, cant run or get on base). Try to sign a solid 1B that can play everyday in the field

With the exception of your idea of Damon leaving. (He's one of my fave player and could be a great bench player.) About Mo I feel it's time to let him go except I don't want another team picking him up he is basically a legend. Can't we survive one or 2 more year with him? He just wants to pitch at the new stadium. And we don't even need to sign a FA Closer we got Edwar as the 8th inning guy. And Joba as potential closer but don't forget Joba is a starter so by 08 he might be on our 5 man rotation. And the first baseman issue can't agree more. Any suggestion on who we should try to get to play first though?

Mo is going nowhere and they'd be crazy to let him go. He doesn't get anywhere near the amount of chances this year, which accounts for a lot of his inconsistancy. He's shown he can still be dominant. He's a Yankee lifer, and he needs to stick around to mentor the young guys. Look at how he turned Luis Vizcaino around. He's just great for the clubhouse. If he starts to decline, his role can always be altered. He's one of the greatest Yankees of all-time.

Joba is going to start. If anyone is our future closer it's Edwar Ramirez.

Jorge also should go nowhere. They'd be fucking crazy to even let him out on the market.

Damon isn't as bad as you guys are saying either. He's just banged up. If he manned up and went on the DL earlier this year to get some time off he'd be hitting like he's been hitting the past couple weeks all year. That said, he still doesn't have a place in our lineup with Melky Cabrera pretty much pencilled in for the next decade and with Giambi stuck on the team because he's pretty much untradeable. Damon isn't a bench player, he's still a leadoff guy. They should trade Damon for prospects. Plenty of teams need capable leadoff men, and we could always use the prospects, either to help the pitching staff or to bulk up for a monster trade (Johan Santana?).

Letting Mo leave wouldn't be smart. He obviously isn't the dominant Rivera he once was but he is still better than most other closers out there. I'm pretty sure most teams would be lining up to sign him next year. Its not like he is awful this year. He's had this bad stretch of like 3 games, which he has almost every year around this time. Before that he hadn't blown a save for months. I really think if we let Mo walk we would regret it; I hope Cashman doesn't make that mistake.

I really hope Joba is not in the pen next year. The only reason I was hesitant about Joba coming up this year for the pen was that he would be stuck there long term (think Papelbon). Joba would help a lot more in the rotation and I hope Cashman sticks to his word about putting him there next year. The Yankees have a ton of set-up/closer type relievers in the minors coming up and nobody of Joba's caliber for the rotation.

I agree with pretty much everything you said. I know its a business but Rivera more than earned whatever he will get this offseason. We would probably overpay but whatever, I don't have a huge problem with that after all the world series he lead us to.

I would be pissed if Joba doesn't start next year. There is a ton of relief pitching prospects able to help out the pen the next couple years. Ohlendorf, Sanchez, Melancon, Britton, Whelan, Edwar...just to name a few. You can't just pass up Joba's potential in the rotation to make him a bullpen arm. There's also a ton of starting pitching prospects in our system coming up but nowhere like Joba.

Cashman has a ton of decisions to make this offseason - A-Rod, Jorge, Mo, Abreu, all the DH's we have, etc...

As much as the current team is nice by having a bench with players like Giambi or Damon I don't think it'll be that way next year. After Abreu's last couple months I would seriously consider picking up his option as well because the only other one to play right would be Melky. Damon would be an absolute catastophe in right and he is pretty bad in center, the only place he can play is left. I dunno, should be interesting how Cashman handles all these decisions.

Ideally, I'd trade Damon and have a young guy like Kevin Thompson as the fourth outfielder.

We should do what it takes to keep A-Rod. You can't just let the best player in baseball walk away to another contender. He was pretty much the only sign of life on the team for the first half along with Posada and Jeter.

Posada needs to come back. He's the most underrated part of the Yankee dynasty. He has a few good years left in him. You have to keep in mind that he started catching a lot later in life than most catchers, which is why he can still go the way he does. You won't find a better hitting catcher out there on the market and he's done a great job with our erratic pitching staff. He's a clubhouse leader and I can't see him in any other uniform.

I think Abreu's option will be picked up. He's a frustrating player but he seems to pull it all together in the end. If nothing else, he sees a shitload of pitches, gets on base and has a cannon for an arm.

This is a team that's finally starting to really gel together, it's something the Yankees haven't done in years. It'd be a shame to break it up. As bad as we were in the first half, I've gotta say, this is probably my favorite Yankee team this century.

As for a future first baseman, there really is not any good options out there this offseason on the FA market, so unless they convert someone, or trade damon for one, we might still be hurting defensively next year.

Abreu needs to be resigned. He pisses me off but without him the yanks are 10 games out. He has really pulled it together. Solid all around.

I like damon, but he needs to go. He is now a fourth outfielder and he has value, maybe send him out for a 2nd tier first baseman. I will take a aerage hitter with good fieldign skills, we have tons of offense, a solid D guy not named cairo would be nice.

Joba would be dominant as a closer, but I do see what you say about getting him into the rotation. You were right about him being like Papelbon.

What are the chances Mo takes a Setup role in the next few years? Let Edwar try to take his spot? Mo is like Bernie, I wish he could play forever, but eventually he is going to have to go.

The classic yankees are starting to get old.

I still wish Donnie baseball could have played one more year and gotten that ring. I would give up a few rings just to see him get one.

I think this is a special case where you can make an exception for a guy who has not played that much. This is one of the greatest comebacks in recent sports history, so I guess that qualifies for CBPOTY
