He's got his entire world series rotation on 3 days rest. Which includes a veteran .
The man has completely lost the plot, and his decisions will cost the yankees the world series.

I see you are a fan of the man who cost the Yankees,even, a shot at the world series.

Why does this surprise you? I have been telling anyone who would listen that this team does NOT have the pitching horses to be serious contenders until maybe next year. And that's predicated on WANG coming back strong to replace what I think will be a retiring Andy Pettitte and we pick up John Lackey in the off season as a FA and get 4 strong pitchers for next October's run. The current staff is way too thin and really has been all along.

LOL, you have been saying this all season... Yet here we are up 3-2 going into game 6... Yet we won't be serious contenders till MAYBE next year?

Seriously, what you gonna say if they win tomorrow.

GAME 6 OF THE WORLD SERIES IS TOMORROW NIGHT... GAME 6...

I think they passed being just contenders a LONG TIME AGO.

Just amazing RUHI. do you ever pull your head out of the sand? Are you actually going to sit there thinking that this patchwork poor excuse of a 3 man pitching rotation is it? If so then I have ZERO respect for your judgement. We need PITCHING, PITCHING, PITCHING, and more PITCHING in the off season. Unfortunately the only decent one is Lackey and then the fall off is significant. But you just keep that little head of yours buried in the sand. Even a blind squirrel finds an occassional acorn but then one has to have one's head out of the sand to stumble over the acorn. Whether we win or lose it does not change the basic issue. Of course, if memory serves, YOU were one of the big KNOW IT ALL's who told me how dumb I was in 2007 when I said from Spring Training on that AROD would opt out. Yeah, another example of I don't know nothing. Or last year out of Spring Training when I said we wouldn't even make the playoffs and wouldn't be serious contenders till 2010 because of pitching. But lets just leave it at YOU KNOW IT ALL and I'm just dumb.

"But lets just leave it at YOU KNOW IT ALL and I'm just dumb."

I don't know it all at all, but yes, you are being dumb... The team is about to play game 6 of the world series, yet you don't think they will be in serious contention till next season... Think about it...

Of course we need more pitching... Wang went down or we would have been set for this post season. A 3 man rotation has got us to game 6... Do I wish we had a solid 4... YES, but I am pretty happy with how things are going RIGHT NOW.

I was wrong about A-Rod... But you are so wrong right now. THE TEAM IS UP 3-2 IN THE WORLD SERIES THIS FREAKING YEAR...

Just like you were wrong about who was going to be the opening day starter... Remember losing that bet?

Now you can be miserable about only having a 3 man rotation that has got us to game 6... I will be pretty darn happy.

Maybe you should take your head out of the sand.

If anyone is acting like a "KNOW IT ALL" it is you... Think about it.

You're an idiot if you really think the yankees don't have a better than good chance of winning this world series....an idiot...

I thought the three man rotation was necessary and the way to go for the ALDS and ALCS. Once he went that way to get to the World Series, what is he supposed to do? He had Joba who's been in the pen and horrible down the stretch as a starter. He had Gaudin who had an era over five when he came to the Yankees from the National League.

The Yankees only have three reliable starters so Girardi stayed with the three man rotation. Of course, it would be easier if the Yankees had four really good starters. That would have been the rotation for the entire playoffs, but that's not going to happen. AJ didn't pitch well for the Yanks yesterday but they still could have won if Coke hadn't given up more runs. Moreover, I don't think it was short rest that hurt him. AJ started the game horrible. If it were about rest, he would have started fine but run out of gas quickly. He was just bad from start to finish.

NOTHING I love better than the peanut gallery chiming in. Another loser heard from. You never ever saw me say the team wouldn't win. But that didn't matter to you, you ran your mouth like the fool you are. ON IGNORE for being stupid.

I like our chances too. Doesn't change the fact that the pitching is much too weak. If you can refute that feel free. People like RUHI sit around waiting till the gun is facing point blank to make his statements. I made my statement in February 2008 and it is still true today. This team does not have the pitching horses yet.

The Yanks are up 3-2...we are playing the Phillies...this is not onesided....the Phillies pitching isn't what it was hyped up to be...Lee almost lost this game last night...hello!!! anybody home???....the Yankees will win it....no sweat!!....

Absolutely if Wang were healthy this year then I was wrong. But this rotation just doesn't hold water in the pail. Burnett has had exactly 2 good games since the all star break. He's been a disgrace and has better control of his stupid cream pies than the baseball's he throws. Todays starting pitchers are all too coddled with this 5 man rotation stuff. Four strong starters is what it should be. Look at the 1990's teams.... FOUR strong starting pitchers and we won with regularity. Since 2001 the pitching has been lacking year in and year out and it has cost us this entire decade.

Why don't you go and try to make some other baseball teams' fans feel bad...perhaps you can go and try to bring the Angels fans down or the Red Sox...not that they already aren't...but, you aren't going to do it here....if you can't say anything positive, don't say anything at all....

Well better yet, I'll make me feel a lot better. Your nothing but one of those yapping at the heels little dogs so you get to my IGNORE bin for not knowing to quit your YAPPING. GOODBYE little man

AJ said the same thing in his press conerence. He said rest had nothing to do with his performance, he just had bad location.

This pitching staff has carried us to 103 wins in the regular season and a 3-2 lead in the WS. Try to enjoy the here-and-now, for Pete's sake. If we win tomorrow we're the World Champions (again). Why look at the glass as half-empty? If you can't take pleasure in what this team has accomplished, THIS YEAR, why bother watching at all?

THe yankees did not become the best regular season team by having a 3 man rotation

the last 3 games in a best of 7 series is where the 3 man rotation will be exposed

philly will win.

stevenm really amazes me sometimes. The guy has some kind of ego... He's so unwilling to admit that he's wrong that he's on here bragging about his prediction that the team wouldn't be contenders until 2010. I think if you're in the World Series, and up 3-2 none-the-less, you're a contender. No wonder the guy's ignore list is so large. He can't handle being wrong so if someone proves him to be, he just ignores them.
