2005 NY Yankees = Anti Clutch

Recommended Posts

Almost every player on the team thinks HR when they're at bat, and they want to hit a grand slam when no one's on base. They should just get back to the basics and focus on hitting the ball hard up the middle and getting on base any way possible.

It's very, very frustrating to watch the Yanks right now. No heart at all.

Ya wanna know why there have never been so many Yankee haters? This is why.

The 1996-2000 Yankees were at least respectable, and won with TEAM BASEBALL. The payroll was at least within the realm of reason.

Now? This is a team with superstars who care only about themselves as individuals.

we need to get some young, up-and-comers on to our team, and replace the old deadweights.

bernie has done alot over the years, same goes for posada, but this year both are playing flat out Met-like, while ironically the Mets are playing yankee-like

Now do Yankee fans wish they had Beltran? :D

Yankees are 4-8 now.

Unfortunately that won't last.

With a payroll that big, and that many premium players.... don't worry. This is mostly just a small sample size. You guys are still going to win ~100 games this year.

At the same time I am enjoying a few definite trends that have helped weaken your foundation.

1) Greying team

2) Less emphasis on OBP, walks.

Still. It's April. You guys are going to win enough.

Would a single have made you feel better?

A single or a homer, who really gives a sh*t. What matters is the scoreboard and at the end of the day, we lost again. 8 out of 10, yipee. Maybe, just maybe, they can win 1 out of 2 vs Tampa Bay? Or is that asking too much?

Guys this would be my lineup for the next game assuming a righty was pitching:

1. Womack - 2B

2. Jeter - SS

3. Sheffield - RF

4. Matsui - LF

5. Sierra - DH

6. Posada - C

7. AROD - 3B

8. Giambi - 1B

9. Crosby - CF

Time to take the gloves off with AROD. Time to thank Bernie for time served and start planning his retirement luncheon.

The Yankees have not been getting the clutch hitting going back to last year from their regulars but you are not going anywhere like any team in baseball unless you start getting some sound starting pitching and good relief. Check the statistics so far this year on the amount of runs your pitching staff is giving up.

The Mets would laugh at that offer. Hard.

Maybe, mayyyyybe if the Yanks paid off the rest of Giambi's contract.

Oh, no doubt. At least 10-15 mil of it to be sure, but Cameron is pulling a Johnny Abe and won't play because he doesn't want any part of right field even though the Mets have Beltran there. Ridiculous. To that end, it's a wash. You get a bad memory in Giambi out of the Bronx and you get back a legitimate defensive center fielder with some pop. It's clear that Giambi can't handle the pressure of being a Yankee, so maybe he loosens up a little bit and gives the Mets a nice 3-4-5 with Beltran, Piazza and Giambi.

FEAR NOT YANKEE FANS...the Yankees will be fine. Remember last year? All they have to do is get Randy Johnson from the Diamondbacks and the World Series is a slam dunk.

Doh!!!

I thought they just needed to give ARod time to adjust to NY? D'oh!
