    Not an MLB debut guy. The Yankees are usually like Helen Keller when kids like this are on the mound.

    This Team needs some major motivation, resulting in a Win Streak, or Rick will be like:

    Game carried on MLB, hope it's Yes, that Tampa Bay Broadcast Team of Dewaynw Staats and Kalas can bore one to tears. No excuses just go kick some Tropicana ass!

    all the Rays need, is to add Rex Hudler to the mix, and we'd have the 3 Stooges, (but not near as funny)....

    I'm actually rooting for another losing streak. My theory is that if they get so bad that they are out of contention by ASB, then maybe they finally bite the bullet and cut AROD and CC (at min) bench others and promote the kids.

    Addition by subtraction... Oh and Cashman goes too.

    1-0 on a WP. They need to run on Conger....he's only caught 1 of 53 steal attempts. I mean that makes Posada look like a god, lol!

    Nerves and jitters settled....Snell got what he needed.....facing the rest of this lineup. Look for a Cy-esque performance. I imagine they won't have him on a Yankee 80-85 pitch count limit.

    With A-Rod now 0-2 after another strike out & his average down to a whopping 138 you may still get your wish.

    And A-Rod strikes out again, now down to 135, when does someone say enough is enough? A decision seriously needs to be made, and if A-Rod had any pride at all, he'd walk away after this season. Next year you put Judge in RF & MAYBE give Beltran another year to come back as the DH.
