Scuds I think you are being unrealistic. Being a yanks fan, i watch every game. They are hitting the ball now so good its scary. Its a balance of power and ball slappers now. Noone to pitch around. You pitch around jeter, you get Abreu. You pitch around Abreu then you have to worry about the power of Arod and Giambi. You pitch aournd them and you get Cano and Matsui.
Don't matter who they face, whoever it is they are gonna get slapped around.

Good pitching will stop good hitting! I know because when my team finally made it to the World Series, we walked out to face Don Drysdale and that guy...Koufax! That SOB was one great pitcher and he beat us three times...we had great hitting but the ball was in the catcher's mitt before we got the bat around....game, set, match!!!

Well,I am sure you have seen the 9 losses in the last 12 months that the Halos have put on you.That is a weak hitting little team.How is it they did that? Even with Abreu,Halos took 2 of 3 in Anaheim.You had Matsui and Sheff in the post last year.We will see.I'll take a couple witch pitchers in any series over a bunch of hi- priced mistake hitters.We will see.You gunna have that Juicyfruit Giambi? You must have a gallon tank of cortizone ready to inject that f'd up wrist with in the post.Riviera better not get re-injured like Liriano just did.Your toast if that happens.Mussina can probably pitch with most anything wrong.He is game.I give you that.

Giambi and A Rod, both out to dispell the "myth" that neither will ever be on a World Series Champion.

Oracle,when this Haren guy has it going with that splitter,you're at his mercy.I don't care who is hitting.If he is on,he can beat your team,or any other.The playoffs will come down to who has the pitchers that can be witches in the post.I just don't see much chance of the Yanks having one of those performances,but we will see.

Cheap seats at the Metrodome are REALLY cheap seats though. I think you would actually need binocs out there.

Hehe Slot,
the left field cheap seats that's true, the right field ones aren't so bad. It's short enough that a good leftie with some power can knock them in that upper deck quite often. It used to be really fun when Griffey was a Mariner, because then you could sit up in right field during batting practice, and he'd just hit a million balls up there.

It sucks about Liriano though. I actually thought to myself last night as I was typing in a previous post: "AND LIRIANO IS BACK TOMORROW!" That I might jinx him. It's not really a jinx as much as he or the Twins are rushing. Shut him down for the year now and hope he doesn't become the next Mark Prior or Kerry Wood.
