I thought the same thing: t...ALL-CAPS, I hear ya. I thought the same thing: they can't beat Houston, which is just a better team.<br /><br />And I can't really say that, if they'd played their hearts out and lost in some excruciatingly close way, I'd be happy. Nope, not me. Instead, I would be raging over every little thing that might have changed the outcome.<br /><br />BUT...that would have been better than what we saw out there last night—and that we have seen, all too often, in big Yankees games FOR FIFTEEN YEARS NOW! <br /><br />That is, a total, shameful meltdown. The 2004 fiasco, our outfielders colliding in 2005, the Detroit debacle in 2006, the 16-1 loss or whatever it was to Boston last year.<br /><br />And now this year, which will be the first time a Yankees team has ever lost 3 straight postseason games at home in the same year. <br /><br />Way, way too often, our team simply falls apart, and acts like they are a bad high school team, losing to the regional power. There was no reason for the awful fielding out there last night, no reason for all the wild swings and the at-bats taken without anything resembling a plan.<br /><br />It was truly disgraceful—so bad that even the announcers seemed embarrassed.<br /><br />And while I would love to see them do pretty much everything that you're proposing there, with the exception of CC retiring, I don't expect to see it happen.HoraceClarke66https://www.blogger.com/profile/16965472730239358589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-27261831272667276022019-10-18T12:26:59.772-04:002019-10-18T12:26:59.772-04:00So endeth this sad and all too predictable JuJu.So endeth this sad and all too predictable JuJu.TheWinWarblisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781226471237787238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-31424578662204451282019-10-18T11:46:52.004-04:002019-10-18T11:46:52.004-04:00AFTER A HORRIBLE NIGHT'S SLEEP....

No situational hitting, no working the counts, just swing away and hope it's a HR. The pitching stinks, they keep trotting out guys like Paxton, Happs, Vazquez, Evoladi, Pineda, Gray, Cessa, Losiagia, the list goes on. There is only constant and that's Brian Cashman. I don't want to hear how Hal won't let him spend money, fact is I wouldn't let him spend money. Here is the guy that spent $140 mil on Ellsbury, 90 on McCann, 45 on Beltran, 160 on Texiera. He also the man that brought us Carl Pavano, Kei Igawa, Chris Carter, resigned Sabathia this year with money that could have gone to Keuchel (someone who get actually pitch. Finally when the team was able to get to a point when they could spend on a #1 starter. HOF Cashman brings us Jacoby Stanton.

Sabathia? Stanton? No Voit or Ford, no Romine or even Higgy, no Maybin, no German (what is going on with that, anyway?), no injured Tauchman. No sitting Didi when it's obvious he can't hit like Didi. No sitting Sanchez--out of the question.<br /><br />The Yankees, as they always do when push comes to shove, play the money and the hype whenever possible. They do not play the guys who have earned a shot. They did the same thing in Girardi's last year, when Cashman was basically forced to play the kids, who were exciting and fun and won. But down the stretch, as soon as the celebrities were available, that's who played. And they sucked. And we faded from the division race.<br /><br />When I read the articles saying this is the Yankees team that won 103 games, I always, always get furious. This is NOT the team that won all those games. These are the guys who spent some, most or all of the season in the whirlpool, who were spotty at best when they did play, and who fail repeatedly when faced with serious competition.<br /><br />To see a dispirited Torres and such a lame lineup--with only a few exceptions--is more than disappointing. It's disgusting. It's exactly why the Yankees have sucked for a decade, and why they sucked for almost a decade before that. And they never, ever learn.<br /><br />Whenever they manage to get a couple of sparks going, they don't fan them into a fire. They throw water on them. They go with the veterans and the big contracts and the hyped players, no matter how bad they're playing.<br /><br />That's just a very badly managed team from the top down.<br /><br />JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-2588229464147922472019-10-18T09:24:21.733-04:002019-10-18T09:24:21.733-04:00At least we still have Stanton!
