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.

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
