the irony, the irony

Before the season, everyone I know, myself included, was saying how the Yankees finally have their tablesetters in place and now they are really going to score. Well, the table setters (Damon and Jeter) are the only ones hitting a lick (Matsui excepted) and the LOB statistics are looking awfully familiar. Torre should be proactive for once in his all-too-inert career. Sit Williams down, he looks exhausted already. Make Giambi the DH (for now) and bring up Eric Duncan to play first. Move Matsui up into the three spot and put Sheffield down in sixth. You have to have somebody batting behind Giambi so he can do what he does best, post-steriods, which is draw walks. Get Posada down into the ninth slot. He ain't hitting and he's not about to start, at least not with any consistency. They really shoulld try and deal him, preferably for a solid middle reliever. They also ought to start sniffing around to see if they can pick up a DH, just in case Giambi is off the HGH. One run against LA's fourth starter. To paraphrase Yogi: it gets ugly early around here.
