    That hasn't gone unnoticed either Vic, there's plenty of blame to go around, both the pitching & offense has sucked. But to hear blg sing it, all is well in Yankee land.

    Now you're really nitpicking.....he pitched more than 7innings allowing 4 R for a team which averages approx 5 runs per game and you think it's "funny" or "wrong" to say he kept the team in the game AND I also mentioned he did NOT bury them in a deep hole.
    He had allowed 3 runs after 6 innings and another run in the 7th inning....and you're having a major problem with me saying he kept them in the game and didn't bury them? Get real. No, it wasn't a GOOD game...it wasn't so bad either..and don't give me this projected ERA crap - I'm talking about YESTERDAYS game, here and now....and I would say the same thing if Warren or Nova did it.

    No, I don't welcome all SP allowing 4 runs in EVERY START....so don't twist my words around.

    I think you may, perhaps, possibly be having a problem with CC being the pitcher we're discussing instead of some other non-ace pitcher....guess what...?......if it were any other of the Yankee pitchers the same could still apply in this case.

    I know CC has sucked this year...I get it....I can read the numbers....sounds as if you prefer nothing short of 7-9 IP and allowing 3 or less runs every game from every pitcher.

    And I want to win the lottery and live in a happy dream land.

    ..no, but at $23 Mil this year and $25 next year, it would be nice every once in awhile.

    And I want to win the lottery and live in a happy dream land.

    ...it appears thatyour wish has already been granted.

    ____________________

    Thank you very much.....but may I add, pertaining to CC's salary, just because someone (Yanks) chooses to spend alot of money on a decent sound used car, this doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get similar performance in the next couple/few years.

    But you already knew this, didn't you? lol

    Okay '59, lol, want to wrap this up?

    Um....I'll just repeat what I have said not too long ago-
    "there's still plenty of time left in this season for the Yanks to finish in last place in this division"

    And as Casey used to say: you can look it up.
    Now could you please stop putting words in my mouth and casting a poor light on me?

    Please READ my FULL posts and try to break out of your prejudged assumptions.
    I believe you have some fetish refusing to aknowledge when I am correct, or NOT off base.....and I am NOT always "right" nor do I believe I CAN'T be proven wrong......just like YOU and anyone else on this board.

    So lets just be comfortable in our skin and kick around thoughts and dialogue without constantly badmouthing or disagreeing with someone who takes a different route in evaluating and judging a baseball team during the course of the season.

    Do I think the Yanks have serious problems? YES...SP.
    Do I think there's enough time to overcome and correct the problem?
    YES

    Will they? I don't know, that's why they play the schedule (games).
    Fair enough?

    ...you've flip flopped and/or rode both sides of the fences so many times, even you don't know what you've said anymore.

    ..."that's why they play the games"....wow, that's some sphincter tightening analysis.

    ...you were fellating this team since before the season began...and when they play well you start flapping your arms and cock holster...and when the play poorly you either develop lock jaw or disappear for awhile...or either make excuses or cherry pick obscure and half baked hand pick stats to make things still look rosey.

    ...you're full of shit.

    I never suggested when you should post...I just asked if you want to end this dialogue.
    And CC should be removed from the rotation.....
    ...what do you want from me? I'm not calling the shots.

    jeez

    Now '59, I have to say....I think you're off base or misunderstanding me...
    Where have I flip flopped....? Regarding CC and Drew, I have said since ST I will give them a couple of months..which WAS more slack than "the board" was willing to give both of them.

    Please specify where (in your mind) I have flip flopped.

    It's not an easy situation with Sabathia. Not making excuses for management but when a big money guy who was very successfull hits what looks like the end of the line. It's not the best of circumstances.

    ...not at all in my mind...and there's no misunderstanding. And nobody is putting words in your mouth. Like I said, you've been doing this sort of shit for months.

    ...first, you spout"the Yankees are currently in 1st place"....then ""there's still plenty of time left in this season for the Yanks to finish in last place in this division"

    ...
    earlier you were crowing about how solid this pitching staff is, but now it's "Do I think the Yanks have serious problems? YES...SP.,,,Do I think there's enough time to overcome and correct the problem?...YES.....Will they? I don't know.


    ...in other words you have no fucking clue what you're saying or what you mean.

    ...like I said, you've spewed so much fence riding BS, you don't even remember what you've said.

    I'll say it again, when it comes to Sabathia someone needs to grow a pair of balls & make a decision.

    "Do I keep sending this worthless tub of lard out every 5-6 days & just chalk up a loss just because I'm tremendously over paying him?" Or.......

    "Do I go with a kid who's been our most productive starter over the last month & gives the team a better chance of winning"?

    Gee, let me see now...:hcp: DOH!!

    I believe it's called the ebb and flow of a baseball season.....
    I cheer when they do well...and I'm not uncomfortable ripping them new asswholes if need be.

    The Yanks are a game out of FIRST PLACE on JUNE 30 and some of these people are tripping over themselves criticizing the team....LMAO.
    Should be ashamed of yourselves - IMO....lol

    I made and "submitted" my preseason expectations.
    I could've just as easily played it safe and covered my ass with a nice safe "prediction" of anywhere from 81 - 87/88 wins.

    Fine and dandy....my first "prediction"... thus far...is THIS team WILL score considerably more runs than last year's team is right on target.....why did I compare them with last year's team?......very simple....what the fuk else should I compare them with when discussing YANKEES?

    My second hope (prediction, guess,presumption) was....in order for the 2015 team to have a "GOOD" W-L record ( APPROX 90 WINS) the team ERA needs to be in, or fairly close to THE TOP THIRD in the league team ERA.

    There ya go...you asked for it..I repeated it.
    Take it or leave it....and I DO REALIZE I could be wrong.
    I laid it out there.....it's my opinion...now grow up...it's only BASEBALL!

    No, CC is not a used car, but if he were one, he'd be up on all fours with Jack stands at each axle, with a Ford Pinto engine dripping oil at a drop per second, while the delay in CC this yr was to change out the Pinto engine, with a Vega engine, or kia, what's the difference, a used car is does not come back to new life, neither does CC, he's toast and fkn done for, with his 5.07 era, and you want to justify His ERA cuz the team normally scores 5 runs, give me an effing break............I've read & heard it all............
