Same lame line coming out of the Yankees locker room for the past 2 weeks..how many times can you tip your cap to the other pitcher before you realize that the real problem is that the yankee line is gawd awful when it comes to scoring runs!

It has as much to do with the opposing pitcher as it does with the Yankees punchless offense. If this team holds on to make the playoffs they will be beaten into oblivion and embarrassed again on a national stage.

You're a better man than I for actually leaving the YES postgame show on following a loss like tonight. I don't want to listen to them blabber about how they were outmatched by Jim Palmer or whoever phenomenal Orioles ace starter baffled them tonight.

This is what it has come 2 we're tipping our cap 2 pitchers with an era north of 4 and a quarter.

"how many times can you tip your cap to the other pitcher before you realize that the real problem is that the yankee line is gawd awful when it comes to scoring runs!"

Is that why we're fifth in the league in run scoring?

<Don't you wish they'd just be honest with the fans and themselves?

"We f*ckin' suck. We're facing guys with ERA's in the mid 4's and we can't string together 2 or 3 hits to save our lives. We'll just show up tomorrow, lace up our boots, and try to knock the next kid out of the game early...."

I don't care how "good his stuff was"... When a team scores 3+ runs 42 consecutive games....and then THIS happens for 11 games...the pitchers didn't get better....your hitting got worse...stop pretending it's the former...

That would be definitely a breath of fresh air. This cap tipping has to stop you can only use that B.S. comment for so long. That is why I shut the game off right after the game so I don't throw
up from hearing the nonsense.

The "line" is god awful when in it comes to scoring runs? The same "line" that scored 3+ every day for 42 straight games? That "line"? Are you out of your mind? Seriously... Do you expect ANY team to be consistent for 162 games? The season is a marathon. The team has looked GREAT for the vast majority of the season. 2 bad weeks and the nuts come out babbling about how bad this team is... Unbelievable.

I think the difference is the hits and timely bullpen pitching that the team was getting during their winning of games has now dried up.

The hitters are not coming through in close games and the bullpen is losing the close games.

Thus the difference and why all these losses have been by 1 or 2 runs.

The starters have still held their own, barring CC against the Red Sox the other day, but the hitters and bullpen have slipped in the clutch.

Amazing how quickly people jump off the bandwagon, isn't it? It took 3 days.

you guys lost 8 out of 11 in 3 days?!?!?!?

I agree with you though. Yankee fans are front runnin cry babies.

AINT IT GREAT?!?!?!

For them to cry is takes one loss in a row. For them to puff out their NY chests it'll take a single win. A poster said something like "we're NOT the 1978 Red Sox". Well, we all know that '78 RS team was banged up over the 2nd half and the NYY had become healthy and slowly ate away at that 14 game lead. The RS lost out on the WS that year in game #163 by 1 run.

2012 could duplicate some of that, this time with the Yanks losing key guys. Pettitte, Tex, ARod are big hits for sure. Generally, the Yanks fill them in seamlessly. We'll be seeing how this time plays it out.

And while the RS are pretty far back, there are other teams out there with talent. The Os are what, 6.5 out now? With 9 weeks to go and with 9 head to heads left with BALT? Not to mention TB and Boston. Could be wild.

These Yankee fans are a buncha delicate flowers. One musn't upset them too much or they'll wilt.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go pee in the garden.....

good one. I see another email to me over this. I had a feeling telling TOO MUCH TRUTH would get me.

Lol...it's true. And if you've noticed, they don't say it much about Verlander, or Price, or Felix. They say about it AJ Griffin, Doug Fister, Jason Vargas....LOL...no, don't tip your cap to them. No other teams are...lol...beat them like everyone else...
