They spent a lot more money on pitching than they did Tex in the off season and what do they have to show for it? Their pitchers can't get through the 5th and their bullpen, minus an old Mariano is flat out bad.
The Steinbrenner's are STILL trying to fill their brand new stadium. Have you seen the amount of empty seats at these games? They had to cut the most expensive seats in HALF. As a betting man, I'd say that's what the Steinbrenner's are focused on and figuring out what to do with the pitching. Not Tex striking out in a series they were swept. That's not a problem, the pitching is.

the point of the whole thing is the pitching is bad i ain't saying there isn't problems there, but , go ahead and ask any of the steinbreners about tex so far and ask them how they felt about the strikeout in that spot - i'm sure a guy hiitng .195 and collecting $22.5 million is a major disappointment to them at this point -
scuds made a point about the guy being a differnce makers , and that is what he was brought in here to be - so far through 1 month of the season he has been a major disappointment
