I will not be writing in this blog everyday.....as I've been and hopefully it wont be all negative as it's been? This blog was intended on writing about free agency moves, minor league prospects and game match ups and stragedies especially post season?
You can check with yankees.daily.com or riveraveblues.com whom both cover every game

But somehow the negative is what makes news sometimes....?

Yes the Yanks are now 4.5 out behind the shockingly 1st place DevilRays and Sox after last nights 2-1 offensive debacle

Now according to some the reason the yanks offense if failing is because
of the absense of both Arod and Posada

The A-Rod and Jorge impact

Posted by: Ben K. in Analysis, Offense. Tagged: Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada

When Alex Rodriguez went down with a quad injury that will keep him on the shelf for a few weeks this year, he hadn’t been off to the same start he enjoyed last year. Admittedly, that’s not a fair comparison. How often does any player hit 14 home runs in a month while single-handedly carrying a team?

However

it is in my opinion: and I've stated this before in my blog in the BRING BACK RICKEY POST..........

THAT...........

They need an entire lineup overhall --->

They need a spark plug on top of the lineup I’m all for moving Melky to #1 hole and Damon to #3 even when Arod comes back, just dont think Johnny is a numb3r #1 anymore? I also would think about moving Jeter to #5 or #6 whom you place @2 …..? right now I’d say Abreu nd ask him to take more walks!!!! What this team doesn’;t do enough but the Great “90’s” teams did!!!!!

I know Abreu isn’t the ideal numb3r #2 …but this lineup needs a shake up and even “Jeter” isn’t untouchable @ this point!

And I would start taking offers for Cano, I dont care how great he will be he?
His mental lapnesses and ineptitude sometimes makes him a player no matter his potential I dont care to have!

We’ve WON before with the likes of Mariano Duncan and stop gaps @ 2nd before!

Melky CF-S
Abreu RF-L
Damon LF-L
Matsui DH-L
Jeter SS-R
Giambi-1B-L
Ensberg 3B-R
Molina C -R
Gonzales 2B-R
