A-Roid is having an absolutely awful post season. Jeter looks like a shell of his former self.

And outside of Phil freakin Hughes...their rotation looks human.

Let's hope that the Rangers outbid the Yanks for Cliff Lee. The Yankees have so much age on that roster, it'll be fun to watch them shrivel up over the next few seasons.

I hope one day a player stands up and says "I don't want to play for the MFYankees. I want to beat the MFYankees."

I know, I know.

Maybe Lee will say "I beat those mooks easy. Why would I want to play for them?" :2yay-thumb::rofl::smile11:

Meltdown from the Yankee scout.com board

I simply am reserving my opinions on certain players as a whole....

People will have me lynched if I say that I wouldnt resign Jeter nor Posada.....but I am leaning that way....

We need a power/high ave hitter that can hit lefthanded pitching.....for SURE....whether it is a platoon player or starter I dont care....

We need to either resign Wood, or get another definiteive bridge to MO...that is for SURE...

and we need LEE.....and another decent pitcher......for SURE....

Bring Jesus up and play him....

and play Nunez a bit more too.......

Other than that I am not reaching out for more, cause money can only buy some things....it cant always buy clutch hitting........but another thing I would do........

Trade Burnett for anything right about now, eat some money he ruins momentum during the regular season.

Trade whover....pick your posion.......any one of the starting outfielders to free up more money to get that catalyst, that true catylst at the top of the order, I am not sold on Gardner....and go get Crawford.....

That is what I want.......and if Marte is not fully healthy, u gotta geta decent left handed reliever as well....

Holy cow, you'd think their team just finished in last place.

The Yankees look like a collection of fossils rather than a baseball team.

The Yankees of the 90's were young and passionate. They could get riled up for the post-season every year. These Yankees have already seen it all. It looks like 1 WS is enough for A-Rod and Teixeira (neither of whom have bothered to show up).

I was laughing so hard when a washed up Berkman was shown flailing away in the 8th inning with men on. And there was Jeter, just staring out of the dugout with the expression of "Why did we sign this guy again? Cashman needs to get better players next year."

    • I suspect the answers to this poll would look different if Dominguez had a bad outing tonight.  Although we definitely saw the downside of having Kjerstad playing LF tonight.  
    • We'd better not be done!  Eflin is a good #4 starter but they need someone better for game 3 of a playoff series (if not game 2).   And yes, we do need a better closer.  Scott and Finnegan are still out there and there are probably others that I'm forgetting.  It's not that Kimbrel can't save games, it's that he's a ticking time bomb.  He gets into these slumps where he loses effectiveness and the O's need to be able to put him in low-leverage relief for a couple of weeks until he gets his mojo back, which means they need another closer to cover those episodes.  What if Kimbrel starts slumping in the playoffs?  
    • He looks defeated... Stir things up, guys. Call up Mayo. Bench everyone for a game. Hit Adley 9th and Henderson 7th. You gotta change things if things are going to change. 
    • If Mike wants the Orioles to make it past the first round of the playoffs, he better have more moves up his sleeve. The Orioles need to be buyers and sellers at the trade deadline this year. We need another starter and a another reliever. Since the offense is struggling, we might need another hitter as well. If the Orioles don't experience post season success, I will put all the blame on Mike. It is absolutely vital that the Orioles make several good moves at the trading deadline. Mike is off to a good start! We just need him to keep going. You can't stop making moves.
    • He said at the end "I'm coming into a team where we may have an even better chance of winning a WS". Austin... right now I wholeheartedly agree w/ you!
    • At this point it feels like heartbreak city coming if we make the playoffs which somehow we still should. I’m sure many remember 1997 and the ALCS. Why do I feel like Kimbrel will be our Armando and blow it…those box scores still make me sick to look at.
    • I had actually thought about this recently and came to the conclusion that this would actually be kind of smart and awesome. We kind of need a second CF to play LF at OPACY, so split his time between LF and DH. LF at home, DH on the road. That would protect his health and keep him fresh, while also maximizing him when he is on the field. The issue is, of course, everything else. The Angels would have to eat a bunch of money for us to take on his remaining contract years, and they would absolutely have to get a flagship prospect back to save face in trading away a franchise icon while ALSO eating money on his deal. It clearly wouldn't be Holliday, and I think Basallo is too important to us to trade until Adley is extended, if that ever happens, so it would have to be Mayo, whose right-handed bat in future Orioles lineups would effectively be replaced by Trout's.  Could you live with Mayo+ for Trout and Estevez, plus like $10-15 million per year to get a future HOF who has shown no signs of slowing down as a hitter when healthy? I could.
