Yep, terrible lineup. <br /><br />Indians, BTW, are fourth. And don't forget, the one no-decision, he held the Phillies to three runs in eight innings -- and the Phillies entered Sunday day tied for seventh in runs.<br /><br />BTW, who has your "ace" Josh Beckett beaten in his recent strong three-game stretch? The Twins, the Brooklyn Cyclones and the Mariners.

Those powerhouse teams are a true test for the alleged ace. <br /><br />Oh, and CC=Championship Choker.

Jeter might not want to talk about it, but Jones isn't doing her job if she doesn't ask.<br /><br />Unfortuantely with Veras, he has no more options, so the Yankees would have to release him. I don't think it would be a great loss at all.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054517091231408114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454948283116207589.post-29070768541259753752009-05-31T10:00:37.227-04:002009-05-31T10:00:37.227-04:00Well put Aviv.

Let's just hope that Kim Jones from YES Network didn't jinx the team with her post game interview of Jeter last night bringing up the 16 game error-less streak. Derek was not too thrilled that she brought that up at all, and kinda told her so. If she does, I hope he gets to direct her traffic, getting him a hot dog and beer from the stands. I also agree with you whole heartedly that Veras needs to be sent back down. What a waste. I don't care how many runs the Yanks are up, but I'd rather see my Labrador Retriever pitch than him. There was no reason why Girardi didn't keep Robertson in the game. That kid's got stuff.<br />Dave- CC= Championship Contender.Meganhttp://yankeemeg.mlblogs.com/noreply@blogger.com
