None of the Yankee pitchers have had much this season. At least, as far as I can see it :unsure:

That's what happens when you get old guys. Johnson has been a bust, Pavano isn't handling the AL well, Mussina is either great or terrible, Brown is nothing special anymore, and Wang is still a rookie with better than decent stuff. How is that staff supposed to perform? Not to mention we're over using Sturtze like we did Gordon and Rivera last year.

I'm shocked the Steinbrenner has put up with it though, seeing as how much he spends on the Yankees.

He's trying to stay out of the way in hopes that it will work like it did in the late 90's, but it's not at all. Cashman is a moron when it comes to putting a team together. This isn't fantasy sports where you need to get a bunch of superstars to win.

A friend and I are talking about the yanks now and have agreed the following people need to go:

Brown

Wright (maybe, not enough info yet but I don't see much from him)

Womack

Giambi

Stanton

Johnson (borderline, having some faith he'll come back)

Williams (he has maybe one year left)

The Yankees' lineup is like a giant game of musical chairs each day. I don't care HOW much your payroll is when you can't put a consistent lineup out there, you're in trouble.

O and all you Cubbie fans must be thrilled about today's game.

Brown - Yes

Wright - Yes

Womack - Undecided... they need him as a LEAD OFF HITTER and a base stealer. It's just very, very unforunate that Cano turned out to be as good as he did. Womack shouldn't be playing the outfield.

Giambi - Yes - GIVE ME TINO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stanton - Undecided

Johnson - Undecided

Bernie - Same, I love him and he's been doing outstanding lately, but he's getting old.

great day for cubbies fans!!  prior is back baby!  and what he did today was against the BEST team in baseball :)

thank god he's back, and i think wood is back on wednesday....look out cards!

Let's not get toooo ahead of ourselves :p . I thought you were a firm believer in not saying anything that MIGHT jinx them lol.

i hope your talking about his hitting cuz his fielding has been anything but outstanding.

586125480[/snapback]

yup, and i'm not sure (100% serious, not trying to be sarcastic or anything), but i'm pretty sure i posted that before his fielding went in the ****ter lol... but yeah his hitting was outstanding lately.

torre needs to put Giambi on the DH and have Tino play first.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
