    Both NY teams should be making a change after this season.

    If Kahnle was the key with that Chisox trade, a quick assessment says Trashman erred.
    The new blood will first occur with the on-field employees. It should begin with Cashman!

    Girardi's blatant favoritism of judge who bats 3rd every game despite striking out at will and killing rally after rally and now mental lapses in the field like the nonchalanted dropped fly ball against the mets and today letting a runner go to 3rd as he lobbed a ball back to the infield while taking both Sanchez and chapman to the toolshed (and rightfully so) will not be lost to the other players who are seeing what's going on. His bullpen use has been head scratching for a while now in who he does ns doesn't bring in. 10 years is enough joe. Once this season ends go the fuck back to Chicago. And if he doesn't leave on his own time for cashman to send the binder packing.

    As I've posted before that old saying "taking kindness for stupidity" is coming into play. Girardi sticks up for his charges, makes excuse after excuse. And yeah a decision has to be made on Judge getting moved in the lineup. I'd have to say that if Judges downward spiral continues, he''l be just another outfielder seeking a job next Spring. And Girardi has taken Ellsbury, Sanchez, and Chapman to the shed, but maybe too much too little too late. I don't know who I'd want to see as a new Yankees Manger, my obvious picks would be Francona or Showalter. Tito has a good club, Buck would never return. Not a big Marchand Fan but he did write an article saying if the Yankees don' make it it'd be on Girardis head. 2009 excepted this franchise has performed under long time fans expectations since that 2004 Chokejob in the playoffs. Hal Steinbrenner showed little interest in this franchise until about one year ago. And Cashman is the Perter Principle promote to the level of incompetence GM. Until that shit gets straight we are in for more draught!

    Looking like Aaron Maas at this point. Hard to imagine somebody can collaspe like this after batting .330 with 30 homers before the break.

    line up stunk, game stunk...

    did i see the same exact foolish pitch call, late in game, same yankee reliever with runners in scoring position, 2 outs o-2 on batter, and pitch call was for a fastball thats ends over plate, hit and runs score?


    if joe goes with hot hand, why is didi not in sweet spot?

    ...to be fair, I gotta give Kahnle a pass because until today he'd been a pleasant surprise...gotta keep in mind that the Yanx only managed 3 freaking hits and they were already down 3-1 when Kahnle came in, so the 2 runs he gave up were really irrelevant and were not a factor.

    I hate being absentee from these games so now I am going to watch the replay on Yes and see how it all unfolded.
