Romero is on a roll so far vs Pawtucket. Still too many walks though: 3 IP, 1H, 2BB, 1K. FYI, Xander Bogaerts is making his AAA debut..

Did I also forget to mention Wells hasn't hit a HR in a month? -

All those ex-Jays are stinking again--see these numbers: Overbay .245/.288/.448, 8HR, 29RBIs(most came early in the season) Wells .229/.274/.386, 10 HR, 26RBIs (same.. and his average has plunged since mid-May by about 70 points. So bad, they just called up Thomas Neal) Nix .249/.313/.299, 1 HR, 17 RBIs (only SS option they have--Brignac can't hit and AAA is bone dry) Ben Francisco (DFAd and released) And other former players brought to the Yankees: Youkilis .219/.305/.343 2 HR 8RBIs (and has been awful since his return from the DL) Hafner .220/.332/.440 10 HR 29 RBIs. The only player with even decent RBI numbers is Robinson Cano with 16 HR and 42 RBIs, .282/.354/.521. None of the Yankees even have a OPS of .900, and just two regulars over .800 (Cano, Gardner). Granderson won't be back until after the All-Star break. -

You sure? Yankees fans apparently are ready to jump off the bandwagon--some of the posters on the LoHud Yankees site were saying that the Yankees should sell--as the team is not going to get better, even when A-Rod and Jeter come back. Playing Seattle and Cleveland is one thing---but being unable to beat contending teams like Boston, Oakland,Baltimore and they couldn't even beat the Mets recently! I bet they get swept vs. L.A.(both AL and NL).. these Yankees are not a good team right now. -
Starting pitching is the only thing keeping the Yanks afloat. The offense has been awful--Wells is now worse than his Angels numbers, Overbay is no longer a regular now that Tex is back and stinking--Youk's been absolutely awful since his return, and Cano is hitting an awful .214 vs. LHP--which is not good for a guy who is expected to get 10/$250M in the offseason.
-
And Toronto doesn't play the Yanks again until August..who knows what the Yankees will be like by then.

You are right. D-Backs should be 35-31..and SF is not a solid team--they're below .500 on the pytho. FYI, here are the run differentials in the NL West D-Backs +21 Giants -10 Rockies +36 Padres -22 Dodgers -45 However, this will likely change with the Tulo injury..without him, the Rockies are a mediocre team. Dodgers are underwater due to poor run support, and the Giants problems are due to injuries/regression to the majority of their rotation..Lincecum, Zito and Vogelsong have been horrible. And BTW, this is how bad the NL East is: Braves +62 Nats -27 Phillies -42 Mets -50 Marlins -96 Unless the Nats improve, this division is Atlanta's to lose.

And the Yankees are imploding--did you see that 18 inning game? That was some of the worst baseball the Yanks have played in some time. Youk's a bust, Vernon has regressed back to Angels numbers, Overbay has regressed, Hafner has regressed-- the only guys hitting are Gardner and Cano(when not facing lefties). Don't be fooled by their 6-4 record in their last 10--that was against Seattle and Cleveland, two bad teams. Yankees have tough teams ahead--Angels(with no Blanton scheduled thankfully), Dodgers, Rays, Rangers and Orioles. -
And playing lousy D doesn't help either.
-
In the last 11, JPA is hitting: .067/.122/.067. Time to give Thole more playing time..especially with Dickey on the mound tomorrow.
-
Pedro Ciriaco traded to the Padres for a PTBNL. Good depth move for a team that needs help due to the injury to Jedd Gyorko. BTW, the Padres are closing in on contention.. they're only 5 back of the D-Backs, and with the injuries to Tulo(Rockies) and Scutaro/Sandoval(Giants), the door is open for them to make a move in the NL West. Keep an eye on the D-Backs/Padres series.. Padres could be within distance of 1st with a series sweep.
-
Not sure about the Yanks though--they aren't exactly lighting it up right now in Oakland.. it's now in the bottom of the 18th!
-
C'mon, somebody in Oakland get a hit here! They just called it comparable to a painting on an ep. of Seinfeld.. ugly, but you can't stop watching it!
-
Still no sign of a winner in Oakland--going into the 17th now!
-
Cruz missile for Nelson! 1-0 Texas.
-
The O.co's a perfect park for him.. plus Billy Beane's pretty smart. And boy are the Yankees pathetic.
-
Guess the Jays need to update their scouting reports.. Berkman barely hits for power now.
-
Donaldson left the game.. Moss is at 3B right now.. strange.. it's like putting EE at 3rd.
-
On to the 16th... once again, if you want the Jays game, go to SN Ontario or East.
-
What a throw by Wells and a collision by Stewart and Moss! Saves the Yanks from losing the game(for now.)
-
Darn it Vernon... this game is never going to end!
-
Go to SN East or SN Ontario for the Jays game.
-
Napoli just got hurt after hitting a double..
-
And Tex pops up.. Yanks are now 1-13 with RISP. Can't win games like that..
-
Angels fans are probably excited about the Yanks/A's game--they're in the 14th now tied 2-2.. the reason is because the Yankees will likely burn out their bullpen trying to get through this game.. and they just might!(Tex, Hafner, Youk and Wells are 0-20 today.. the Yanks can't score! Cano is the only one hitting. And Ichiro..)
