\nI had a big problem with 2 moves Girardi made last night, but I am not a major league manager so maybe I missing something. With the score 2-0 in the 8th inning, Girardi leaves Derek Lowe in the game to start the 8th. He was brought in to pitch to Cabrera with 2 outs in the 7th which amazingly worked. Derek has pitched decent for The Yankees in a few tight games but he is passed his prime and basically our long relief\/mop up guy. With the score 2-0 why is he coming out to start the 8th? From my perspective I’m thinking at this point that yes The Yankees have blown golden opportunities but with score 2-0 all it takes is a bloop and a blast. Even though they were losing in the 8th I felt that Robertson who pitched the 8th all year should have been in the game to keep the score 2-0. I felt like that was very important. Lowe gives up 2 runs and now it’s 4-0. <\/p>\n

\tYou bring Robertson in to pitch the 10th and 11th and take him out after 2 easy innings. You bring in Phelps(A rookie) to pitch in the 12th against the triple crown winner, fielder and Young(who always kills The Yankees). Phelps pitched decent but I definitely would of brought Phelps in to face the bottom of the order and left Robertson in to pitch to the heart of the line-up. Granted if Nick Swisher doesn’t suck so bad, phelps probably gets out of it and maybe just maybe Jeter doesn’t break his ankle.<\/p>\n

\tAlso, with Gardner on 2nd with 1 out in the 10th, I was praying Gardner was going to try and steal 3rd. With all the problems The Yankees had scoring runs, I felt like Gardner should have tried to steal 3rd with Russel Martin up with 1 out.<\/p>\n

\tI’m still pissed off so please don’t mind me.<\/p>\n

They seem to be sleepwalking through games. Cano, Rodriguez, Swisher, Granderson…maybe someone put drugs in their sunflower seeds? Right now it is depressing if you are a Yankees fan.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The problem with the Yankee "so called stars" is all in their heads. They are head cases and the number 1 & number 2 are Arod and Cano.<\/p>\n

\tCano is not a very smart player who has all the talent in the world, he never runs hard or plays hard because he doesn’t have to to be a great player. If he ever wakes up and plays the way great player play he could be the best of this era.<\/p>\n

\tArod is just over the hill and has had his day’s in the sun.<\/p>\n

\tSwisher is demonstrating again like he has done in previous playoffs that he can not hit good pitching. He is a very good hitter when pitchers make mistakes but the pitchers in the playoffs do not make that many bad ptiches<\/p>\n

\tGranderson is just being granderson, he will hit a homerun when he see’s a bad pitch, unfortunatly not enough in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\tOur Yanks are in trouble but I will keep on watching and hoping they wake up.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Has ARod ever NOT sucked in the post season? Honestly I don’t recall, but I stopped caring about him when the door hit him in the ass on his way out of Seattle.<\/p>\n

\tToo bad about Jeter. For a Yankee, he seems like an OK guy.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
