What a joke

This game doesn’t even warrant an FML.

What was Joe Girardi thinking putting Mariano Rivera into the game with an 0-1 count?  This over-managing of the bullpen is getting really old really fast.  It was a totally unnecessary move.

This team deserved to lose the game after Robinson Cano grounded into a double play with the bases loaded and no outs.

Same story, different year.

Girardi has forgotten some fundamental baseball when Torre managed: Do not bring in Mo earlier than the 9th inning!!! In the past, every time Mo choked in situations like this, it made me wonder if he would be utilized for a 27 out save or something. Torre loved bringing Mo early in a crucial late inning situation as if it would be the nail in the coffin. It usually is, but for the wrong team!

When Jason Bay came to bat in the 9th, my first thought was if this guy gets a clutch hit, it would probably show Theo Epstein's brilliance over Cashman once again. I hate when my gut instinct comes true.

FUCK Marte. FUCK Rivera. FUCK the offense.



THIS WAS A GAME WE SHOULD HAVE WON. THIS IS A FUCKING DISGRACE. TODAY, I'M EMBARRASSED TO BE A YANKEES FAN.


I'm sorry. That really wasn't necessary. But this game should have been one in the win column.

Robinson Cano is a dumb and lazy player who never learns from his own mistakes. I really wish this guy had a better attitude and work ethic, he would be one hell of a player, instead of a disappointment, which is what I am afraid that he will always be. Pedroia is so much better than him, it's not even worth having that debate.
