What happened to the best team ? Texas goes on to win this, maybe then you will realize what the problem with the Yankees was, and will continue to be
^^^why must you do this to every freaking thread ?...it's past the point of being humorously annoying.
Lol, what am I doing wrong? Oh sorry, cashman sucks, he benched ellsbury! How come nobody has discussed the possibility girardi benched ellsbury for the nite off incident, where he said he wanted to play and called that chick to tell her? Ellsbury #'s vs Gardner. Lol, yea that was the reason ! Please I am a believer in that 1 galactically stupid decision can have such an affect that it can decide a game! What a kick in the azz it would be to Yankee fans if Houston goes on to win in KC, and Texas beats Toronto.
... because nobody has been able to actually provide a quote by those involved (Ellsbury/Girardi) confirms that "story". ...why would Joe lie?...and why would Ellsbury call his coach a liar?...and why would Ellsbury have someone else call instead of actually doing it himself? ...can you provide a legit link or not?....didn't think so.
Pasta I couldn't help but notice that you didn't supply any input on the thread titled "Keep or dump" but somehow I get the feeling that your solution would simply be to KEEP all the players listed & DUMP Girardi.. Take a look.
I don't know, I see Texas has a major Yankee-like problem today.....aging slugger critical to offense out due to injury.
Yankee like problem? Did the bluejay coach bench a 100mill + player , or do you think he would play a platoon player in a do or die situation cause of what he did in reg season?
...what does a player's salary have to do with anything...using your logic, CC is the ace of the Yanx' staff. ...have you even looked at Ellsbury's recent performance? ...still waiting on what you think was deleted.
Lol it has everything to do with it when you play for an organization that cares, that has a major league minded coach. I don't follow this game as closely as you guys do but it's my understanding that Price was 1 -5 in. PS play, do you think the bluejay coach hesitated to start him because of that?
Wait...I thought playing the best team for that given day/situation is what all great managers do? Since when did contract size outweigh on field performance? I mean if that were the case then not even you would have tasted a cup of coffee in the show.
Pitchers don't pitch everyday, you have to look at more data points. Price had been quite excellent down the stretch.
...uhhh, no, it doesn't have anything to do with it....Price has not totally sucked for the last 2 months like Ellsbury has.... Cueto was acquired to be the ace of his team...did he get the start?...nope, and why?...because he has not pitched well recently. ...and oh, again, what was "deleted"?
Please just read in between the lines, when the reg season is over you throw everything out the window , big money players play in PS, that's it, they got the big contract cause they are proven, Jones and Gardner are not! That's just the way it is... Now , girardi took a big gamble based on how some of you look at the game, and it back fired, horribly!!! And he should be canned based on that alone, but it ain't gonna happen for the same reason Cashman is still GM
