Even in Boston, the socks fans treated him very well. I guess they really do feel sorry for us. <br /><br />I'm sure if Mo was hankering for another ring, he'd say something. But please don't go and offer him an option to leave. That'd be on par with offering your girlfriend the option of another guy after you've been diagnosed with ED. Who'd do that?KDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-9197561388403653482013-07-22T09:03:16.137-04:002013-07-22T09:03:16.137-04:00I think we're missing the elephant in the room...I think we're missing the elephant in the room, even if he is a little slimmer than his usual corpulent, baggy-pants self.<br /><br />Last night, once again, and in a game we really kind of needed, Sabathia stunk. And on top of that, we could still have won if he was treated like any other pitcher and yanked when it was clear he stunk. But as usual, Girardi left him in to get hammered.<br /><br />SEVEN RUNS. It's really just incredible to watch. This is a team that has scored 3 or fewer runs in over 60 games. If anyone had come in to stop the bleeding, anyone at all, we might have won this, and without the stupidity of extra innings. (Oh, and we can't bring Mo in because he's The Closer. Never mind that Boston brought in their closer to hold the game for an inning and then resorted to the patchwork quilt. Our brilliant manager would rather do the opposite.)<br /><br />Get rid of goddamn CC already. He's only 33 and going through an "adjustment year" (*cough*). But there would be a stampede to get him, and we could actually get somebody pretty decent in return.<br /><br />He's not an ace. He never will be, now that his velocity is gone, and that's if he ever really was. Keep Kuroda. Let him be the new Andy, the old guy we root for, which isn't hard since he's pitching better than anyone in the starting rotation and basically has been since he got here.<br /><br />Here's the really amazing thing. This is a scrapheap, crapheap group of Yankees we have, and STILL we could have won last night and taken 2 of 3 from the mighty Schlox. How this team manages to win games and scratch out runs sometimes is incredible. Sometimes I think if we could just bench Ruiz (in Class A or AA, please) and have Nix back, we'd be a hell of a lot closer to the top than we are.<br /><br />But we aren't going to do it as long as we have Sabathia. Because a) he's not that good anymore, and b) Girardi will never yank him to try and win a game even when it's obvious he should (CC really eats innings, but Girardi just eats it).<br /><br />Solve the problem. Get the big man out of here. Maybe we can get two or three smaller men of value in return.<br /><br />PS...Yes, we won in 2009, and that was great. But has anyone mentioned how the "big signings" of CC, Tex, A-Rod (well, of course he's mentioned all the time), then Granderson have all turned out to be relative crap? If we could only be rid of the lot of them and start fresh, we'd be better off.<br /><br />Just saying. I'd give up some HRs (and whiffs and pathetic averages) to get a couple more .300-.325 hitters any day.JMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876016557456927299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-9589585052969806582013-07-22T08:47:17.580-04:002013-07-22T08:47:17.580-04:00So you are finally catching on.

And throw in an Andy Brackman. Anyone over 6'10" is of interest to us.<br /><br />Obviously, the Stewart play did not carry over. <br /><br />Only the failure to drive in runners in scoring position, and give up homers at heart-breaking moments, has weight.Alphonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294726065596642068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3932285159851204335.post-60391349278759489072013-07-22T08:33:35.023-04:002013-07-22T08:33:35.023-04:00The Socks have ownership who love and understand b...The Socks have ownership who love and understand baseball.
