unlike last year there are more than just the fadig tigers to wory about and the rays are for real. how long before we sto talking about acquiring players and start to talk about dumoing some players for some young offensive talent.

its a shame that the team very well miss the playoffs in the stadiums final season, butif they could add some youn offenive talent, even if that means trading some of the bue-chip pitchers this team can make some noise net year with all the money coming off the payroll. a 2009 rotation of sabathia, sheets, joba, wang and hughes sounds mighty good wnad with the money coming off the payoll and the new stadium such a splash is cetainly not inconcievable

gettig late ealy in the bronx this year

they have become what the yankees were in the 90s and baring a catostrohic injury to beckett and dice-k they will continue to dominate for the net years. a team buit for the present and the future – it is just scary – in fact it is bizzaro baseball

although it is sickening how all of the sudden there ae so many so fans all over

there are too many holes on this team right now and looking around the AL they are arguably the 6th best team in the league behind the angels, red sox, rays, and even the twins and surging tigers.

for all of those who want to hold the kids at all costs is this team really going to go out and get a set-up man, a top flight starter, and an impact righty bat. And is cashman going to trade away of his children.

this is an old and unbalanced team and should b looking to unload some of its older players with value – damon and mussina could net a nice return.

any trades that they make shuld be fr young up and coming players i wish they would make a major play for LaPorta using some of thei pitching depth.

start preparing for 2009 and beyond – with every passing day and every pitiful offesnsive performanc, 2008 is looking more and more like a lost casue

Not for me. This one really pissed me off. This happens too often (making a mediocre pitcher look like pedro in his prime) to the Yanks. Wasting a really good outing from Mussina… arrrrrgggggghhhhh!

We haven’t consistently put out a lineup and a rotation that is demonstrably better than league average. I know people look at the payroll and say we’ve got to have a great team, but if Posada, ARod, Damon, and Molina are all hurt and out of the lineup, Pavano is on the 60 day-DL and Igawa is in the minors and it’s Darrell Rasner’s turn in the rotation, all of a sudden your $190-million dollar juggernaut is actually 9 guys and a DH who make a total of $78 million, and teams like the Brewers and Diamondbacks are putting out lineups that make more money than ours does.

impossible. i was assured the Yankees would lose every single one of those games if they took Joba out of the bullpen.

what’s more troubling to me are the #s cited earlier, that the yanks are 12 of 14 in the AL with RISP in BA, OBP and SLG.

so the yanks are not so good late, and bad with RISP.

where’s the confidence, the belief that the yanks are going to win? i just don’t see it in their body language, or in their opponents. guess that’s what happens when they’re one of the easiest teams to work out of jams against, and not too tough to hold off in the late innings.
