It makes you wonder why Girardi had Grandy leading off in the first place. It's inexcusable when you have Jeter AND Ichiro on the team.

Past two nights Girardi left Nova and Hughes in too long. Now he pulls our "ace" CC too soon. Worst baseball instincts I've ever seen.

I thought Hughes game was better than it looked. He really only got rocked by Cabrera...which is IN the binder I hope, cause the stats and facts are ALL over the internet, like Baseball-reference. Besides Cabrera, he could have easily gone 6 innings, even with those 2 at bats to Boesch. What Phil needed was longer in between innings by his offense. He through 30 some odd pitches, then his offense went up and saw like, 8 or 9 pitches, then he went RIGHT back out there...that's where he got lost...Hughes pitched MUCH better than Nova did. Nova gave us no chance, not to mention was getting rocked by everyone in their line up. Hughes left giving up 4 runs, 3 of them by Cabrera...that could've been avoided in my opinion...

They're on the DL....

People dont understand what not having ARod means. Cano suffers because he gets nothing to swing at. ARod may not be what he once was but, the guy can still put a charge in it at any given time. He also plays a very solid 3rd base and he plays hard. The whole dynamic of the team changes with him gone. Need him back asap.

"Cano suffers because he gets nothing to swing at."

I looked back at the box scores, and Cano, for almost every game, batted BEHIND ARod in the lineup. So your statement really doesn't apply, does it? He would have to have been batting in front of him for your statement to make sense.

It looks like you've solved Granderson's problem then....lol

I'd prefer to learn to win w/o him.

We were in a slump and now are coming out of it so let arod rest up.
