    They can't? Get a load of this lineup.............

    LF - Gardner (283)
    SS - Jeter (276)
    C- McCann (220)
    DH - Beltran (216)
    1B - Johnson (224)
    RF - Soriano (225)
    CF - Suzuki (291)
    2B - Roberts (232)
    3B- Solarte (265)

    If this is Girardi giving us the best chance to win we're in deep shit. This lineup would have trouble beating the 1964 Mets.

    I saw Tex had fluid drained from his knee and was going to be out today...

    Chronic something is always wrong Tex is out so what else do they have to put out there? If Beltran and McCann did their job things would be much different.

    And what about Ellsbury? Hell if its about some rest I'd rather see Ells get a half day at DH & rest Carlos (sure out) Beltran for the day.

    3,4 & 5 hitters with a combined average of 221. Just unbelievable. Middle of the lineup production my ass. Maybe I have been a little hard on Girardi considering the non production of his players. But....just a little.

    I did try warning people. Especially when you knew Solarte was going to come back down to earth at some point. Nobody has risen up so you have a very sorry lineup right now ruining a lot of quality starts.

    Michael Kay is enough to make you want to start punching even yourself.

    It's unreal how Soriano went from going on an absolute tear after the Yankees got him last year to being a complete disgrace at the plate this year.

    Oh I'll admit that when he gets on one of his soap boxes he never lets go. But in the case of benching Ellsbury today he's absolutely right. And his examples why were on target.

    ...Kay doesn't have any more idea why Ellsbury is not starting than we do.

    ...Roberts, yet again swinging at a ball high in the zone and weakly popping out.

    Just going by what Kay Said, "I spoke to Girardi & he said that Ellsbury was a little nicked up".

    Ellsbury simply doesn't play full seasons.

    Good to see McCann now not catching balls.
