Soft tosing pitcher, the other team tagging Yankee pitching for hrs, the bats going silent. But this is defintely not the Yankees of past few years or even last month. To sum it up. Confidence level= 10 The game had all the makings of a loss. Soft tosing pitcher, the other team tagging Yankee pitching for hrs, the bats going silent.

He seems to not be swinging at pitches that he had in the past. It seems as if A-Rod has become more selective. He seems to not be swinging at pitches that he had in the past.

I know he's still just Melky Cabrera, but when you can set up the force/doubleplay and face the right-handed hitting titans Angel Berroa and Kevin Case, why it the world don't you?

I read it in about 4 recaps yesterday and I'm just so tired of it. AND I don't get how Yankee fans could even begin to have an issue with it. Other than that the 9th innings were great for the Yanks and Mets. The Papelbon temper tantrum was one of the strangest things I've ever seen in a game. I don't know why he doesn't officiate when he's not playing. Jumping out of the dugout and screaming SAFE! is just so gritty and intense. Whadda guy. They come screaming out of the dugout, they glare at the opposing pitcher and they slam their batting helmets when they lose the game. But hey, that's okay...
