ANOTHER GRITTY EFFORT,
likely gone to waste.
Pettite gives up just 2 in seven, but the Yankees again fail to hit with men on base and only manage 2 of their own, with a couple of DP's (of course) and strike outs. Cairo is the type tonight, going 2 for 3, 2 hits with the bases empty and a pop out with runners on 1st and 3rd one out (the Yanks fail to score again). Now in the bottom of the 8th they bring in the big F..... Can you believe our set-up man has an ERA of 5.16? How is he still pitching in meaningful situations (by which I mean major league situations)?
Ninth inning, two men on, one out and both Abreu and Cairo fail to get the ball out of the infield. Late in the game, with winning runs on base you have to pinch hit for Cairo. The Yankees have no bench; I mean literally no major league talent on it at all! Now they have to hope for extras. I'm not holding my breath.
Proctor walks the lead off man. Have you noticed that the Yankees' relievers cannot throw strikes when they need to? Having given up a hit to
Roberts and benefitted from a gift pop out on a bunt, Proctor walked another batter to load the bases! Will he walk in the winning run a la Bruney?
He did it! He walked Hernandez to lose the game. Proctor faced 5 walked three of them, gave up a single and only got the guy who gave himself up. Ball 4 to Hernandez wasn't even close. This team gets worse and worse: no offense, no bullpen, no bench, no chance. They just lost 6 of 7 to glorified AAA teams.
C'mon George. Clean house. It stinks in here.

So true. I don't know what's taking Steinbrenner so long. What's he waiting for?
