    Don't question my knowledge of the game, The fact that someone like Warren couldn't come in is a joke. He didn't pitch at all on Sunday, Monday was off & he only threw 12 pitches yesterday. So that's one option. Kelley only threw 4 pitches on Sunday, was off Monday & only threw 10 pitches yesterday. So that's another option. Betances I'll give you, he's the last guy you want to see get over used. Girardi made a bad decision. But god forbid you question anything the guy does.

    They've had there opportunities in this game. In the 7th that was at least the 3rd time this game that they had runners on 2nd & 3rd with 2 outs with nothing to show for it.

    ...sorry, but I do question your knowledge of the game and your myopic second guessing of anything Girardi does....and I'll continue to whenever I think it is warranted.

    ...if Huff had done his job Rogers would not have been summoned...Pineda too to a degree.

    ...now, the big question, why weren't you clamoring for a different pitcher BEFORE Rogers was brought in?...never mind, no need to answer. You were too busy complaining about the OFFENSE at the time.

    ...this season the Yanx's relievers have averaged pitching 3 2/3 innings per game which means the starters only average 5 1/3 innings per start...pretty simple actually.

    Because I came out of the shower just in time to see Rogers throw the game away. I missed Huff even being in the game.

    But to get off this for a moment, great play by Gardner in left falling into the stands.

    Yes I can do the math also. But that STILL doesn't take away the fact that either Warren or Kelley could have been used instead of Huff & Rogers. Right?, right.

    I haven't got a Yanx game since Mr. Price was beat down....no Rays games, none of these pitiful Stro's beat downs, are an embarrassment. I will be getting manana's game tho', see ya'll then.......

    Starter's not even getting a shot at a Win.....some tho' haven't warranted pitching beyond as 5 1/3 IP. I'm at a loss for words, over the Team by now....!!!....... other than I'd like to see the Kids sale the 'Damn Yankees' to a Owner who will get some shit accomplished, shore up the Farm System, not blow money on over the hill disabled or part time players........ Moreso, Cashman has to go.......5 games out of the 2nd wild card, and I honestly can't see this Team putting together a Cardinal type winning streak in Sept, or any time this year. I do think our Season may be over.........Yet, again I will continue to hope, root, and dream the Yanx DO put together a winning streak, ain't giving up either, til 2 dozen fat ladies sing, in French....on their heads too.....!!!




    You guys would be somewhat amazed at the Stro's A+ Team, well maybe. Saw a game last Thurs. A kid SP threw a 98mph 2 hitter, K'd 12 in but 6IP, while the offense had 19 hits, and 12 runs, 5 HR's two players went back to back jacks; and both were a single shy of hitting for the cycle. A 12-0 shutout, vs the M's club. Funny thing, reason I say "well maybe" (amazed at the Stro's Farm Club upcoming prospects) they got beat down the prior day by the same M's club who beat them 13-2.

    ...big difference in something that "could" have been done and "should" have been done...the "math" says this BP is been over worked and is probably burnt out. The math also says as I mentioned, that there's a day game today.

    ...meanwhile, Rogers had not pitched in 5 days and Huff had not pitched in 10 days.

    ...stop posing as a manager and go take another shower.

    You just had to be a dick & make it personal didn't you Ron? If you're trying to push me off this board you're certainly pushing the right buttons & making it close. I'm a no knowledge clown when it come to baseball & i'm a liar. Well fuck you I'm done with you.

    We could very well end up getting swept by who, the 2nd worst team in baseball? And at home. The fans need to start booing a lot louder then they did last night. Just embarrassing.

    ..."push you off the board"?...please, gimme a break...grow a thicker skin. And again, as long as I disagree with something I'll voice my opinion, no matter who it is...always been that way and it won't change.

    ...the real problem is that you really see it as "personal"...your problem, not mine...do as you wish.

    Yeah how the hell could I take having my knowledge of baseball questioned & being called a liar as personal? Stupid me. And with all the crying you do every time some one says ANYTHING negative about your beloved Joe Girardi, its not me that needs the thicker skin. You asked me who Girardi could have brought in instead of Rogers & I told you, even pointed out why by showing the little amount of work they've done over the last few days. But your constant need to be right all the time wouldn't allow you to agree. Or to even lean toward the possibility.

    You've alienated many posters off the boards over the years (this I know as fact) Hell there are even posters that use to be here that no longer post due to your need to argue with anyone that challenges you. God forbid anyone ever do that. I mean how the fuck dare we. But I'm not going to join them. I like it here. And if I challenge a decision by your precious (can't do no wrong) uncle Joe, deal with it.

    No need to to respond to this, I can already guess what you'd say.

    "I thought you said you were done with me" Or....

    "Who have I chased off these boards?" Have a good one 59.
