JUNE 18TH , 5 GAMES OVER .500

.
.
WOW the Yanks are on a roll since I told them there theme song should be --> http://memotosteinbrenner.blogspot.com/2008/06/were-not-going-to-take-it.html


Winning 5 of 6 on recent road trip and 8-2 in last ten.....


***Also playing the National League whom the Yankees always beat up on doesn't hurt either!


***But we lost Wang playing that national league due to injury doing what he's no accostmed to running the bases he fractured his foot ..out until september @ earliest




I think the Yanks need to go after a big time lefty even before Wang got hurt.


The biggest fish in the water is Clevelands CC Sabathia, he's up for a contract year next year
so I wouldn't overpay for him either and it also gives us the luxury of looking @ other pithers like Alan Horne and Dan Giese in the meantime ...BUT DONT PANIC


.......but if the Yankees can get him "Sabathia" for some mid-level prospects like a JB Cox or Karstens or even a proven talent in Robinson Tano?



I think the Yankees need to trade for him if they can secure a long time contract too!






I always liked Sabathia even more so then Johan Satana whom I was against trading and think Sabathia has a bigger upside than Satana
And I think he has another good 10 years left in his engine it's not like we're buying a 41 year old Randy Johnson here...If you can get Sabathia go get him----------->



?

WE'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT!

see this symbol -->
I'm begining to think it's a target


just when you think the Yanks got their SWAGGER their STRUT, that they're going to take off get that attitude they cant beaten on any given day
.... they take 2 steps foward ....then two steps back again!



i mean 4 out of 7 homestand isn't what I call a success, you have to play @ least .650 ball in your house NOT barely over .500




they should've easily won 5 out of 7 , they have to start winning and taking pride in defending your home ....OK,OK it's just that breaks dont go there way they have to play against luck against the umps ...what lousy calling the games in the Royal series

• Giambi called out on a check swing that could've been a big rally!

• Melky called out on a infield single in which he clearly beat the throw that would've resulted in another 2 runs and a win instead of a loss

and the Yankees are 33-33 and 6.5 games out on
Jun.11,2008




is this just a crappy .500 overpaid team here or have they not caught their breaks or hit their stride? I dont know?




But I know this...

• I KNOW JOBA IS BETTER THEN FARNSWORTH AND THEY'LL LOSE MANY GAMES IN THE 7TH OR 8TH INNINGS CAUSE NO JOBA AND JOBA WILL STRUGGLE AS STARTER

READ MORE ABOUT WHATS HIS JOBA LOL
(CLICK HERE)

• I KNOW AROD LOOKS MAD CONFUSED IN PRESSURE SITUATIONS OVERSWINGING ON CURVE BALLS AND CHANGEUPS LOOKING FOR THAT HOMERUN INSTEAD OF SHORTING HIS SWING

• I KNOW ROBINSON TANO SHOULD GO BACK TO THE MINORS UNTIL HE LEARNS HOW TO HIT.
  Better learn how to walk be more plate disciplined and not just be a free swinger into the wind
  

• I KNOW MELKY TABRERA ISN'T THE FULL TIME ANSWER IN CF

AND I KNOW THIS

I think this seasons theme should be --->







GOTTA GET THEIR SWAGGER BACK MAN! ? !
:-/



ok I'm going to chill on writing post in here for a while let the season play itself out a little unless i have something important to write about I think I covered it all Ill be back @t all star break to evaluate the entire team

MAY 5TH 2008, GIAMBINO BABYYYYYYY!

UPDATE JUNE 5TH 2008

Quote says me; If the Yankees lose today, I'm going to be sick!
Damn that first pitch Giambo fouled off if he got it, he would've YANKED IT!




NEXT PITCH--->


BYE BYE BABY MANTLESCHE MOON SHOT JASON GIAMBI 9-8 YANKEES WIN, YANKEE WIN!!!






but theres a few things I learned about the Yanks TODAY

• Robinson Tano cannot bunt, that needs to be fixed
• they have no speed off the bench in running situations
• and...

But, If there is one thing I really REALLY REALLY learned about the Yanks today it's that when you DONT want Robinson Tano to hit into a Double play he does and that Farsworth pushes the envelope too much to be trusted in one run games and doesn't give a $HiT

• HEY KYLE test your stuff in a 4 run game NOT A #1 run game

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.
So IN CONCLUSION AGAIN..... answer me this? What good is having Joba in the rotation to only have him pitch let's say "8" beautiful innings and leaving the Yankees ahead 4 to 1, only to bring in Kyle Farnsworth to walk the side then relieve him with Hawkins who gives up a grandslam after???
.
.
Who will Save Joba?

.
.
a tough few games comming up against a team whom plays well in their stadium the last in the Metrodome comming up with a fly ball pitcher pitching game #1, in a park where fly balls, fly out!
.






In conclussion, from a Yankee insider--->

If you ask me it’s a mistake with Joba like the Redsox tried with Paplebom they’ll soon see Joba run into high pitch counts and struggle before the 5th

He’s best when comming in for 2 innings tops!

keeping his pitch count down and throwing the heck off the baseball cover,

Like Boston learned with trying to put Pappelbom in the rotation the Yanks will learn as well and look eslsewhere for there Josh Becket.

June 4th 2008 "WHAT THE JOBA"

-----------------

June 4th, 2008


OK count them 8 games the Yankees gave away thus far this season and counting.....?









Where would the Yanks be if they haven't gave away those "8" games and most recently 2 to the Orioles and 1 to the Twins and 1 to the Blue Jays because Joba couldn't throw past 60 pitches and didn't get past the 2nd and Toronto got into the bullpen early


the bullpen HAS NO DIRECTION!
NO IDENIDITY!!!!


You do the math 36-22 and in 1st! OK, OK let's only count the games as recently the 4 in total
32-26 and only 3.5 out, NOT 7.0 and falling fast!

• Now they defenetely lost 2 games to the division rival Orioles because they couldn't go to "Joba" in the late inning twice! game they should've WON!

• They lost #1 to Minnesota on road trip because Farnsworth doesn't give a $hit and will come over the plate if he wants! .....case sir rah sir rah

• And they defentely lost yesterday because of Joba directly and this silly starting pitcher project pitch count they have with Toronto getting into unstable arms as Ramirez and Hawkins and Farnsworth...All Joba's replacements!!!

Tell me? What good is having "Joba" pitch once every 5 days and have Hawkins and Ramirez and Farnsworth take his place when your other pitchers Mussina, Pettite and Hughes, Kennedy or whomever you place in those spots CANT GET PAST THE 5TH or 6TH


TO ONLY HAND THE GAME TO ...HAWKINS, FARSNWORTH....RAMIREZ?



HANK NEEDS TO CHECK HIS HEAD




And who will be held accountable andblamed and be the scapegoat for Hank and George's mistakes????
<---- poor Brian, that's who ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .
