    He should be pitching for his supper.....should've already been yanked from rotation with one of their farmhand SP taking his spot for the remainder of the season. There HAS TO BE at least one other AA-AAA SP worth a look for a few starts. The sooner some of these kids get their feet wet, the better for all concerned.

    Just give a kid a few starts to see exactly where he may need "help" or what kind of poise he has.....there's a "million" reasons. For crissakes, it's not as if the Yanks are battling for 1st place. Who knows, maybe perhaps Yanks are hoping Nova shows something for trade bait? Nah, who would want him?

    Buck leaves Flannery LHB in to face Chapman with runner on 1st instead of going by the book with a RH ph.
    I agree with Buck in this case...he's looking for Flannery to yank one over the short porch.

    Chapman gets him on a weak grounder, Yanks win 2-1

    And they suck us back in............. This time I'm not buying it, unless they take 3 out of 4 from the O's and 2 out of 3 against SF then maybe I will whip out the Kool Aide. :lol:

    No doubt - it's in the blood, DNA, natural competiveness and all that jazz but this team is in no position to "chip away" and being good isn't going to be good enough.....this team which has been consistently mediocre needs a winning streak....I'll see your three out of four vs Balt and raise you a sweep. That would make things a helluva lot more interesting in a hurry.

    I see where this Gausman guy buzzed one at 98 up and in towards Arod's face...and it was very "up and in".
    Well, I'm glad Arod avoided it and hit the dirt, that coulda killed him.....Gausman must've been upset from the HR- lol, a tough guy.
    Maybe Arod hits a line drive which finds his kneecap the next time they face each other.

    Read the Book "The Cult of Death. The one thing I found hilarious was this one kid in the cult who wanted to whack Jones like Reggie hitting a high hard one over the wall at Yankee Stadium.

    So this is how it is when a Yankee starts the second half after its been struggling all season to keep its head above water?
    We put up signs saying hope is dead and how dare you want them to show guts and pride.



    Jeez, anyone can give up and "predict" the same as before....it doesn't take a genius or some kind of savy baseball sage.

    Okay, so be it ---> watch the games if you'd like, but things aren't going to turn around.

    Wow! I feel so dam smart!
