What I Think Of Sergio Mitre as The Yankee's Fifth Starter

I actually believe Nick Swisher is better than this flunkie.


We'll get maybe 3.1 innings from Sergio tonight, 8 earned runs, 4 walks, 2 hit batsmen and no strike outs.

His 61 mph fast ball just doesn't fool anyone.  And the famous Mitre sinker floats across the middle of the plate, waste high, at about 55 mph.

He won 2 games at AAA with run support averaging 22 per game.

We will have to score in the mid-teens tonight to hold on.

And we can't trash the bullpen with the 0-8 Red Sox coming in.

So, would it really be that bad to just forfeit this one? 

 Give A-Rod some quality time with Kate?

Mitre pitches healthy like Wang pitched hurt. Needs to be gone.

On the market: Cuban defector Yadel Marti declared free agents by Major League Baseball.

Open that purse Hal - you cheap sissy.
