Over and Out

June 24th - mark this season done. Forget the 9 game winning streak and the 11 of 12. That was just an aberration. The team that just lost 5 of 6, the one that lost 2 out of 3 to a horrible Giants team, is the real deal. All the good feelings built up beating the garbage of the NL and the temporarily slumping Red Sox and Mets is gone. There's nothing now but disgust.

Losing to the Rockies is one thing, though it shouldn't have been 3 straight, but to lose 2 of 3 to the Giants is inexcusable. After blowing Saturday's game, it was easy to see that they would lose again today. That Joe Torre would weaken his lineup, sitting Jorge Posada, to appease Mike Mussina. That the bullpen would be garbage as it is nearly ever game.

This team needs a makeover. This team CANNOT succeed with the likes of Mike Myers, Wil Nieves, Andy Phillips, Ron Villone, Mike Mussina, Brian Bruney, Kyle Farnsworth. The list could go on and on. It's time to get rid of the old and bring in the new.

A guy like Bruney can still be good, but right now he's walking the ball park. Chris Britton had a good rookie year with the Orioles and has been dominant at Scranton, but he can't catch a break. Instead the Yankees call up garbage like Colter bean.

A career minor leaguer like Shelley Duncan should be given a chance to play 1st Base. Phillips has proven he can't hit major league pitching. Hell, bring Eric Duncan up and let him audition.

If A-Rod or Jeter don't come up big, no one does (with the exception of Posada, and occassionally Matsui).

This team is old and decrepit and disgusting.
