F-Bomb

1. F Scott Proctor
2. F Joe Torre for continually using Proctor over Villone
3. F Joe Torre for trying to squeeze another 5 outs out of Mariano on back to back nights.

How is it that we can't hold a 7 run lead these days. If we score 9 runs, we win right? Washington scored 9 unanswered runs against us after our 7 run Top of the 5th. I had high hopes for T.J. Beam, but after his solid inning, and a hell of a battle with Soriano, he gave it up in the 2nd inning of work. Awful.

Chacon...awful. Bullpen...awful. Torre...awful. Yankees lose 11-9.

For the record, here's Ron Villone's numbers so far:

27.1 IP
1.65 ERA
.198 BAA/.319OBPA/.260SLGA

I'm not saying he won't get lit up too, as his career numbers are about league average in many categories, but how is it that these pitchers have so many innings pitched, and he is rarely used in important situations? Just asking.

Scott Proctor (45.2)
Kyle Farnsworth (29.2)
Aaron Small (27.2) UPDATE: SMALL DFAed with 8.46 ERA
Sturtze/Erickson (23 combined)

No pictures today. I encourage you to look away. For the sake of the children.

I am staying up late to watch the game vs Nationals.( It is shown at 1 am local time here. )

However, with their recent slienced bats, I don't know whatelse I should be expecting from the Yankees.

I just hope that they will not lose big this time.

It is interesting to see Wang swing the bat though.

Go Yankess!

GAHHHHHHHH this was probably the top 3 best Yankee starter effort this season and it was a loss, gahhhhhhhh

Hopefully this one gave a big gut punch to the team and make them realize they got to pull it together NOW. You can't lose games where your starter gave u 8 inning of 1 run ball.
