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.

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.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By SystemX2 · Posted

      Thanks to some of the other recent Windows improvements, I'm optimistic about this one. My quick wishlist would be: perf like the older menu, merge both menus or at the very least, the older menu should be a flyout, not a simulated click to the old menu, and lastly, a customization window to let users move items from one menu to another, so I could bring Send To back to the main menu, and the OneDrive settings to the older.
    • This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE

      This Gigabyte AMD RX 9070 XT is very good deal despite the launch of 9070 GRE by Sayan Sen Recently we reviewed AMD's latest 1440p gaming card, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB, for $549. The card is in stock too at that price, though if you want significantly better performance and don't mind spending a bit more, the Gigabyte Gaming model of RX 9070 XT is currently on sale for just $650 (purchase link under the specs table down below). The card employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The technical specifications of the Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT GAMING OC 16G are given in the table below: Specification Value Core Clock Boost Clock: up to 3060 MHz Game Clock: up to 2520 MHz Stream Processors 4096 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Size 16GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Bus 256-bit Card Bus Interface PCI Express 5.0 Maximum Resolution 7680 × 4320 Multi-View Support 4 displays Card Dimensions L=288 mm, W=132 mm, H=56 mm Recommended Power Supply 750W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin Video Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB Graphics Card, GV-R9070XTGAMING OC: $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $740) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
