What is the problem with the Yankees?


Score a ton of runs get horrible pitching. Get good pitching and score no runs. This Yankees team is frustrating to watch. One run games kill you the most. Especially when Mariano comes into the game with the game tied (He's going to give up a run). They have a hard time putting all the parts of their game together to win ball games, and it is hard to understand. How does this team not score runs? They have so many talented hitters in their lineup, but it just seems only a few players have the desire. As much as I love Melky Cabrera he's got to take a seat for a wile. Brett Gardner has not got a hit yet, but he shows some real potential (working the count, running hard).I think he should take over the CF duties for a wile wile Melky has time to stew about all the GIDP's. Another smart move wile Matsui is out would be to DH Posada, and start Molina at catcher. Molina's bat is horrible, but he can gun down anyone in the league trying to swipe a base. Posada on the other hand cant throw out anyone after his arm issue this season. A lot of this rant stems from last nights 3-2 loss to the Rangers. Why is Jeter riding pine down 3-2 in the 9th inning with Melky comming to bat? Why is Jeter even riding pine at all? Why can we not put all of our best players on the field at the same time. Tonight I would like to see
1.Damon LF
2.Jeter SS
3.Abreu RF
4.Rodriguez 3B
5.Giambi 1B
6.Posada DH
7.Cano 2B
8.Molina C
9.Gardner CF
Please Joe I know you read my blog, see how it works out.By the way Ponson told me he is going to tear it up tonight.
