    This lineup needs some help. Just not going to cut it.

    Do you pay attention at all to this team? I'm seriously starting to have doubts you watch.

    ...did you pay attention to the previous 4 games?... (.286)...I'm seriously starting to have doubts you watch.

    ...it was a safe bet that you'd chime in and whine immediately after a loss. (hence "sigh")...don't like it?...tough.

    I pay attention the fact that they hit all singles two nights ago and then did absolutely nothing last night. You can't seriously sit there and think this is not an offense that is in need of some slugging help. Not when they're ahead of only the Rays in runs scored. Across the board offensively they're below average. Guys they're counting on to be sluggers have been so bad they can't even stay in the lineup regularly. We have had the same people carrying the ball for this offense. Unfortunately, Solarte has started going the other way which mostly everyone knew was coming. Simple put McCann, Beltran and Soriano aren't doing anything close to what they're supposed to at the plate.

    I'm monitoring the league since Cashman isn't.

    Sadly he might hit much better than McCann.

    Right, that's why he will be traded, lol! If you want some pop, you're gonna have to wait for ARod next year and a steady diet of warning track flyouts and magnificently posed strikeouts.

    Did not watch the game last night but viewing the highlights it looked like the Yankees were mounting a comeback until that delay with momentum lost when the game resumed. I sure like the Offense better ditto defense when Ichiro is in there. I still think this team can bop, if McCann & Beltran get it wired the offense will be dangerous. In light of the Staff I'm glad McCann is handling them and despite a few muffs last night I like Murph. Don't know why the Yankees brought Huff back but I guess Girardi has a plan for him in the pen. They do need to kick Torontos a@@ in the upcoming series for a new start on the East.

    Johnson made a really dumb play at 3rd picking up that ball instead of letting it go foul & yeah the 2 pass balls but Murphy just finished things off. McCann made some decent plays at first though.
