Damn Yankees

You would think after Alex Rodriguez's great 1st game and CC earning his millions the Yankees would build on that and get out of their normal April/May slump but no that didn't happen last night. It was embarrassing to watch them yesterday getting railed by Baltimore 12-5 and Phil Hughes couldn't even get out of the 2nd inning. It's just sad to see that 2 Yanks only come to play: an ex-red sock Johnny Damon and "number 2 in your program number 1 in your hearts" (Steve Somers) Derek Jeter. With a-rods return and CCs gem this team needs to build around that and win a few in a row. Mark Teixera has to step up now that the lighting rod is behind him. Maybe he can hit a home-run in a game that matters as opposed to all the ones he does hit when they're down too many runs that it matters. They need to step it up and make it look like they want to win. I just hope they're having the normal slow start and they can finish strong or Girardi will be gone and another year in which we'll be missing Joe Torre as he glides his way to an NL West division win and possibly the World Series.

I hope Brian Cashman is cutting his wrists because he didn't want to trade Ian Kennedy (0 wins in the Majors and out for season) and Phil cant pitch for shit Hughes for most likely the NL CY Young winner Johan Santana. What kind of moron doesn't trade unproven minor leaguers for one of the top lefties in the game? How does this guy still have a job after he got such great pitchers like Kei Igawa (56 Million) who cant pitch in the majors, Jaret Wright(21 Million) who isn't even in the Majors anymore, Carl Im always injured Pavano(40 million), Javier Vazquez (45 million) but he was decent but not worth it, Latroy Hawkins (4million) what a waste, Kyle Farnsworth who is the worst relief pitcher I've ever seen and who could forget Roger Million dollars a game Clemens which was a joke. But he got a 3 year extension which amazes me to this day. This idiot needs to be fired and maybe they should start watching what the Bosox do because everything they do is right and best for the team. Their farm system is amazing and everyone they pick up ends up doing very well (see Jason Bay beating the Yankees a couple weeks ago). They better right the ship or we're in for a long wait til football season.
