Don't blame Mo |
I think many people will be inclined to blame Mo for the absolute embarrassment and disaster which occurred last night, but many people would be wrong.
Mariano Rivera is not perfect, nor should he be expected to be. His ERA was 0.00 before last night's game and he has already saved 4 games a little more than 2 weeks into the season. Even after giving up the 2-run blast to Jason Bay, his ERA is still only 2.16. You could blame Marte. He gave up one run in 1.1 innings and his ERA is 15.43 so far this season. He has not been stellar. But anyone who points their finger anywhere besides the starting lineup is kidding themselves.
The bats are simply not getting the job done. They certainly didn't last night. In the top of the 7th inning, the New York had a 3 -2 lead with the bases loaded and no outs. How many runs could they muster? One. With the bases loaded and no outs, even two well-placed outs could score two runs. They didn't even need a clutch hit...just two well-placed outs. But the most expensive lineup in major league baseball managed to only score one run. They had the chance to put Boston on the ropes and failed. But the disappointment doesn't end there....
In the top of the 9th inning, with a 4-2 lead, the Yanks had bases loaded and no outs. With Mariano warming up, they were on the verge of closing the door on the game. They could smell victory. Again, they could have scored two runs with two well-placed outs. Could they even muster one this time? Nope. Cano grounds into a double play (including getting the runner from 3rd trying to score) and Melky strikes out. Sad.
I hope Girardi took a piece out of their asses after the game was over. That was unacceptable.Labels: Chumps, Disaster, Embarassment, Girardi, Hitting, Losing |

A big loss |
Last night, after a 4-hour rain delay and an 11-inning game, the Yanks found themselves 1 1/2 games further back in the standings from when the day began. Boston easily cruised to a doubleheader sweep against the ChiSox. The Yankee game, which ended just before 4am, lasted 11 innings and abruptly concluded when Carlos Guillen sent a Sean Henn pitch into the outfield seats for a walk-off, game-winning home run and a 9 - 6 win. The bad news is that New York is now 6 1/2 games out and it's the last week of August and this is the type of day that can crush the spirit of a team. It will be interesting to see how this team responds to this setback.
On the positive side, Sean Henn notwithstanding, their bullpen was solid. Ramirez, Chamberlain, Farnsworth, Vizcaino and Rivera each pitched a shutout inning of relief. This outing now means that Joba Chamberlain now has the equivalent of a complete game, 9 full innings, under his belt on a major league level. In those 9 innings, he has given up 3 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 15 and giving up no runs. It's early yet but this is obviously very encouraging and I hope it's a sign of things to come.Labels: Bullpen, Joba, Losing, Time running out |

Is the Boss beginning to panic? |
| I am not at all bothered by the latest slump. The Yanks have dropped 7 in a row, including 4 to Boston, and they are in last place. Of course, there are 162 games in the season which is plenty of time to recover, not to mention the fact that the last time they dropped 7 in a row, it was the year 2000 and they won it all that year. But, apparently King George doesn't see things my way and he is contemplating firing Torre. I'm not sure what his options are in terms of other managers, nor do I want to find out. Granted, I had hoped they would fire Torre after the season ended way too early last year, but with Pinella off the market and no reason to panic at this point, I don't see why this would be the right time.
