Single, Double & a walk. Loaded up & nobody out for Teixiera. Girardi I hate your f'king guts, you have got to be the dumbest manager in baseball. After Teixeira strikes out. The Twins pitcher who's having trouble finding the plate goes 3-0 on McCann. And as he did a few nights ago he gives McCann (a 225 hitter) the green light on 3-0 (1 ball away from tying the game at one) and he swings at ball four. The very next pitch McCann hits into an inning ending DP & no one scores. The funny thing is (I swear) I said watch Girardi give McCann the 3-0 green light. And sure as shit. Just unbelievable.
Brian McCann setting a record for how quick a team regrets a long term deal for a player entering his 30s by making the Yankees regretting it before they get any production under .700 OPS Cashman should have been fired already, how the hell can he make it through this season, dude is teflon
2 innings = 2 inning ending double plays. C'mon guys the pitcher has an ERA over 6. Lets get your shit together. Still 1-0 Twins.
I think its time for Joe to sit Soriano (4 for his last 25) & give RF to Ichiro until Beltran comes back. BOOM! Solarte with #6. Game tied 1-1
I'm not getting the game here obviously. Long past due time, to take that green light lantern out of Joe's hands. Maybe relegate Joe to the Bullpen for a few games, let the bat boy Manage the Roster and Games.....for a week or two....maybe have Joe wear a Dunce hat while he's out in the BP too. We will give him a break, by not making him sit with his nose in a corner too....!
Deck Joe out in a "Green Lantern" uniform while he sits in the BP. "In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let those who worship evil's might Beware my power--Green Lantern's light!"
Joe G. calls Bernie Williams and his guitar into the dugout, tells Bernie to give him a "G" Chord, starts singing the old Webb Pierce Country Classic "Missing You" to the Yankee offense.
Armed with Green Light in hand- Here's a few battle cries, or clubhouse creedo's Joe could revert too: maybe he'd have better results-someone either needs to take the green light out of Joe's hands or teach him how to use it, WITH battle cries: (here's a few old classics)- "You who are wicked, evil and mean, I'm the nastiest creep you've ever seen! Come one, come all, put up a fight I'll pound your butts with my Green Light! Yowza." or- "Against Dishonor and Traitor's Flight, I stand beside my clan to fight, with dying breath I claw and bite... Beware my power--or Green Light!" (courtesy of DC Comics)
Solo, can't believe you did that bad move. Not a good day for a loss, Jays are kicking the crap out of KC.
That's basically my point, with this anemic offense you need to manufacture runs where ever you can. So giving a 3-0 green light to a 220 hitter with the bases loaded is just assinine. He did the same shit a few games ago. I just don't get his style of managing. or lack of same. Today 9 hits through 6 innings & only 1 run.
Mark Teixeira aggravated his wrist again enough take this horse faced loser out to pasture and put him out of his misery enough wrist updates, this guy is fucking done he showed this year the talent is still there but he NEVER fucking plays
Read the play by play, the Yankees had their chances but failed to capitalize. In light of the schedule starting 2 June these are games they need to win.
Game delayed by rain bottom 8 Yankees up 2-1 As far as Tex & his wrist, I think its Kendry Morales time.
Think of where the Yankees would be if McCann were not handling this staff. Yeah he's been slow to hit but is showing signs of life at the plate recently.
