Girardi offends baseball gods, costs Yankees series?
Normally, I’m not one to want to fire a manager mid-season, let alone mid-playoffs, but this year I would honestly consider making an exception. Now I know, I know he won a world series last year. But we’re not Detroit fans, we are fans of the New York Yankees! I realize that if everything went exactly right, the Yankees could still have lost this series. I realize that the Rangers are probably better than the Yankees as a sum of its parts than the Yankees.

Beat Down in the Bronx.
The Red Sox are hammering the Yankees. It’s a beating like you stole something kind of game.
This follows the last two games of the Rays series fiasco. Watching them is almost painful. Tonight I admit I am flipping between the game and a chick flick with my wife. This team just has too many holes. Oh, how I wish they were not.
I wish and hope that they were actually the team that I want them to be. Maybe CC is just in a late season swoon and no big deal. Maybe they won’t actually need four pitchers for the post-season. Maybe, Jeter, Tex and half the pitching staff isn’t hurt.

Yanks win 8 out of 10
The Yankees have won 8 out of 10.
Of course, they’ve also lost two straight. I know that some of you think I’m some sort of Donald downer but you have to admit that if the playoffs started tomorrow you would be as nervous as a Freshman on his first date.
I admit I was afraid to post any blog posts during the streak because I didn’t want to jinx it. I admit that I was and am hopeful. I also admit that in the middle of that hopefulness is cold hard fear and trepidation.
The Yankees are rolling but…
The Yankees are rolling tonight and as I’m writing this it would seem that they are going to win easily. But hear me out…
It seems to me that this team has a bad pattern; namely it wins when it scores a lot or runs.
Right now they are hitting everything that moves and driving it far. Joba’s throwing 95+, CC is going to get the win stopping yet another Yankee losing streak of 2 or more in a row.
But…
Tex left the game with a bruised thumb.
CC gave up 5 runs tonight.

The Yanks lose 2 of 3 and I blame Cashman
I know I’ve been hammering Cashman all year and tonight’s not going to be any different. We lost this series and I know that there are injuries, but I blame Cashman. You know who made the last out of the game?
Curtis Granderson, he of the .250 batting average.
Guess who moved to the pen this week?
Javier Vazquez.
You remember him. I was killing the trade to get him two months ago and what was I told? I was told that it was way too early to judge that trade. What did we get out of that trade? Nothing.
I’m not too proud to say, “Well, I was right” or “I told you so.”

9 Things I Thought About While The Yankees Lost 21-7.
- Yankees lose 21-7. Of course, they didn’t actually lose that badly. They only lost 3-1 but the game went over three hours and I get sick of people telling me how low the scoring is. Of course, it’s the same amount of scores.
- The Yankees just look dog tired. The bats are so cold that I think they could chill the beverages. They just look slow and tired.

The Royals cost the Yankees big
The Yankees lose two out of three to the Royals. Let me repeat that, the Yankees lost two out of three to the ROYALS!!!
This one should be filed under the, “this should never happen category.” Sure, they still own first place but coming off the debacle that was the trip in Texas, the Yanks need to put away teams like the Royals.
When you get down to the end of the season, you don’t want the difference between you and the other team coming down to the fact that they beat the bad teams and you didn’t. There are AAA teams that could be the Royals.

Berkman, A-Rod and Burnett
So I’m starting to like Lance Berkman less and less. The Yankees won a good one today. they dealt with the Red Sux as you would think they should.
But A-Rod didn’t play. Why, you ask? Because Berkman hit him during batting practice. Now, we could blame Joe Buck. The story goes as I understand it that A0Rod was sauying hi to Buck when Berkman hit the ball. Then he rolled around clutching his calf.
Could you imagine if this happened before #600?
Girardi Makes His Case for Boneheaded Move of the Year Award
Sometimes, you can just be too daggone smart for your own good. The Yankees proved that tonight, losing to the Red Sox 6-3.
Now there was nothing in the game per se that supports my argument. Well, besides the fact that Javier Vazquez was pitching in a big game and I’ve been killing his inability to pitch in big games so there’s no need to stop now. I know, I know he hasn’t been that bad most of the season.

Well, You Can’t Say You Weren’t Warned
The Yankees lost again tonight. And the offense looked worse than anemic, it looked like the Republican PR machine during the last Presidential election.
Of course, the defense looked more porous than my wife’s humus rocks. Giving up runs like they were doing a charity dance. Now, it would be easy to say that I warned you. It would be easy to say that I said, A-Rod’s home run chase would become a distraction because, well I did say that.
You can’t say you weren’t warned.
