But Kyle farnsworth doesn't draw your ire?

EDIT: Does he make more $ than Torre per-season?

Getting shut down by Ramon Ortiz? That sucks. I had lost track of him. I thought he was pitching in the Independent League.

If Torre hadn't been retained they would have probably gone after Sweet Lou. So whenever I'm really pissed at Torre for misusing the bullpen, I think back to when Piniella set that guy suffer in the game where the Yankees made the huge comeback against the D-Rays in 2005. That makes me feel better about having Torre instead of Lou.

And Posada pops out. The Yankees did win the series, but they could have swept, and they may have just lost one of their best starters for some time.

Farns catches my ire a little. But a manager needs to know his personnell. You have a lefty specialist who is lights out against lefties. You have one of the best lefties in the game up with the winning run on 2nd and 1 out. You get Myers up warming. Everything sounds like you should be putting Myers in, right? WRONG.

I dont mind if he doesnt use Myers. But if he doesnt want to use him, release him. The guy only adds 35IP a season. We could easily put a mopup guy in his place and get another 35-50IP out of that roster spot. And if he wants to keep him, I want him in every game whenever the opposing team has a lefty up in a big spot. Otherwise, why have him on the team at all?

In terms of positives, Henn did a really nice job tonight, and Vizcaino helped his case for taking over 8th inning duties. Abreu really swung the bat well tonight, even though he had no hits to show for it. Damon also stayed hot with two hits. Other than that, tonight brought a lot of negatives with it.

[jacksonianmarch]

Torii Hunter makes a big difference with his range. He ran down 2 balls late in the game that would have been big hits.

We put the ball in play rather well, we got our pitches to hit, we just popped em up. Ortiz threw strikes, something he hasnt been able to do with regularity in his career. Tip your cap. But at the same time, I am real angry that we got beat when our best wasnt out there.

The best teams lose 60+ games a yr. I can handle a loss. I just dont like losing games when the obvious choice is overlooked.

Who will have the lower ERA after today's game? Mussina (13.50) or Ortiz (2.57)?

What do I win?
