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

Well, I am mistaken about their goals. I thought a guy making over 20 mil a year would be expected to be a difference-maker, but he's just another high-priced bat brought in for more fire power. Yanks keep lowering what they want done in return for 20 mil a year.

I just think he thought it's easier to piss away money than to have to build something.

He wasn't brought in to fill a hole they were lacking. They'll always be able to score runs. That's not what is getting them beat.

They want to buy a WORLD SERIES, and it can't be done. You must have some young a-s-s kickers of your own.

It could be done, you just need to buy the right players.

They needed pitching and still do. That's what will make a difference with this team. Tex was another big bat, who coincidentally got off to a slow start last year also.

But, since you are so connected, or at least play that role on the internet, why don't you ask the Steinbrenner's and come on back and tell us. I for one can't wait for more insider knowledge.

i never said i knew any of the stienbrenners personally , my comments were based on how geroge reacted in the past on certain high priced free agents - there would have been a story / a challenge to TEX already in the daily news by now , any yankee fan knows that and knows the reason why there hasn't been

You are kind of a bag-Carrier for the stars, but I can't say that's the worst strategy in life.
