Wow the Yankes got a shalacking from the crosstown rival Mets, The Mets just wanted it more and came alive game.
In game #1 if a few breaks and we didn't use Farnsworth (I knew he was a bad match up no matter how good he's pitching vs.the Mets) we should've won!!!
....game #2 their ship lost its sail 11-2 to drop the yanks to 20-24 last place and

Well anyway...I think it's a good time to rest our regs and give the JB Cox's, Mark Melenchon's and Chase wright's @ CHANCE!...... to infuse new blood into our lineup and to see what we have???
Shake things!... up a little?
.........and also for trade bait???
Even though our pitching staff hasn't been clutch. We've gotten NOTHING from 4 and 5
..... and in tight spots 1, and 2 haven't come up clutch either!
but...........offense is the biggest problem!
...night after night only 2 hitters, hitting are Jeter and Matsui!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
every once in a while maybee... once maybee... twice a week?
Johnny Damon shows up...but after the 4th hitter it's basically 6 outs NOTHING!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOLUTION? TRADE DAMON!
I'm sorry Damon IS NOT A LEADOFF HITTER ANY MORE .270-15 HR, 75 RBI-12 SB under 380 OBP ? and we already have a 3 , 5 and 6 hitter all leftys too!
Two guys I think that would defenetely turn this team around and could be had and not too expensively are Willy Taveras and Mark Grudzielanek
they would add instant excitement to a sluggish offense especially Willy Taveras )reminesecent( of...............
TRADE DAMON NOW TO COLORADO!
..... IF THEY''LL TAKE HIM? ONE OF THE 3 CORNERS HAVE TO GO
...I SAY KEEP ABREAU AND MATSUI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
..........PACKAGE A JB COX OR EVEN A CHASE WRIGHT WHOM I LIKE... IF NEED BE...YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO USE THEM ANYWAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO AFTER C.C. NEXT YEAR ANYWAY!
THE ONLY UNTOUCHABLES ARE JOBA, JETER AND HUGHES AS FAR AS I'M CONCERENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOURS TRUELY

- When I asked the scout if getting Alex Rodriguez back would solve all the Yankees’ offensive problems, he replied, “No. It will solve some of them. They’ll never be able to be Billy Ball, because they can’t bunt and steal, so you can throw that kind of stuff out the window.
------------------------------------------------------------------
- I agree! thats the problem they CANT generate runs!!!
- no slap happy hitters or contact hitters NOT even "Jeter"
- ....just line drive guys, ... some with loopy swings
-------------------------------------------------------------------
- and @ Damon is NOT leadoff hitter anymore!!! link
