It's all about July right now baby, long f*cking way to go, but if we can have a kick ass July, and the schedule favors us as much as it can this year in July. Total of 21 games, and here is how it breaks down. Road 4 games @ Tampa 4 games @ KC 4 games @ Baltimore (included is the completion of the suspended game which we lead 8-6) Home 4 games vs. Toronto 4 games vs. Tampa 1 vs. CWS This team needs one more tear to get back in it and here is our chance. If we can somehow win 16 of these 21 games or a streak close to that, that puts us 10 games over .500 and would probably bring us to within 5 games or less in either the division or Wild Card. Right now we aren't in as bad as shape as we probably should be. In the division we sit 9 games back in the loss column tied for 2nd with Toronto. In the Wild Card we sit 7 games behind in the loss column but really with only 1 team between us and the first place team in the Wild Card. We are bunched up with the Twins, A's and Blue Jays, but all 3 of those teams have either 43 or 44 losses and we a also sit with 43 losses so we are in a heat with those teams right now and a good stretch good distance ourselves from at least a couple of them if not all three of tehm and bring us closer to Seattle and Cleveland. |

In my mind you have to go 16-5 over this stretch to give yourself a real shot. It's a long shot, but it can be done. We have an 8-6 lead in the top of the 8th in one of these 21 games already. 16-5 would put us at 58-48. The goal should be around 95 wins still for a chance at a WC or even division possibly, the Sox have cooled off and are probably a 95-100 win team. If we can get to 58-48 that leaves us needing a finish of 37-19....not nuts at all. That would leave us at 53-24 overall in the second half. That's .688 ball in the 2nd half. |

Do you think it's that impossible??? Come on man, don't give up hope yet. This team just took 3 of 4 from the Twins and 2 of 3 from the Angels, those 7 games could have ended all hope, but we won 5 of 7 and it kept us alive. |

This team is full of too many lazy, gutless bitches to make any serious run. I think they'll finish the year in the 85-88 win range. There won't be anymore cock-teases though like we got during that stretch where they won 11 of 12. Boston is too good, and there are too many contenders in the Central to over come for the Wild Card. The second half should be all about weeding out the garbage. There are a lot of scumbags who need to go when this season ends. |

Not this group of losers. You have lazy feckers like Cano and chickenshits like Abreu, and 2/5 of the rotation can be penciled in for 4 ER+ each time they step on the mound. A bullpen with no consistency. No reason to believe in this team. I want to, but I can't. All I ask is that the guys who have played hard continue to do so, and for everybody who hasn't given a sh*t- Abreu, Cano being the main offenders- now is the time to prove whether they really want to be here or not. |

Right on point man! I couldn't agree more...and I want these f*ckwads all gone with the exception of A Rod, Jeter, MO,Pettite and Jorge as long as he signs a reasonable deal, otherwise he can get his ass out of dodge too |

A-Rod, Jeter, Mo and Pettitte are no brainers. For CF I think they have to consider talking to Hunter. I don't know what they'll do with Posada, I don't like the guy, but the options are even worse. There's lots of other decisions that need to be made too, it'll be interesting to see where the front office goes after the season is over. I hope they don't make Don Mattingly the new manager, though he's also a no-brainer if Joe is the only other option simply because Torre needs to be gone. |

I'd be happy seeing Hunter out there...and I think with the lack of quality pitchers available through FA...they actually have a solid chance to land him as long as A Rod is here...I don't see them spending much on pitching with whats available....the list is full of dogs and ugly! So they will probably drive up the market to get what they want and piss everyone off again...but ....of course this is all based on them blowing this crappy team up here real soon...if they don't do that...I honestly think the recovery will be a long painful process...at the very least several years longer than if they do tear it down. |

That's the problem, they'd probably start by asking for Hughes. |

Hunter is the way to go! He's not ideal...but he is much better than what we currently have..and he only costs MONEY! |

I'm more worried about the catching situation...I pretty much expect Hunter to be the CF next year, and will be really surprised if he's not! |

I actually agree. The only thing I wouldn't like is if he wants more than 3 years and too much money. I would like to hope the days of the Yankees locking up 33+ year olds long term for unmoveable salary is over. Hunter has always been pretty upfront about wanting to play for the Yankees one day, so I doubt its too much of a problem. 3 years and anything under 50 I wouldn't mind. Hopefully Damon has a good second half and can be moved to make room. If not I wand Damon and Matsui splitting 1B/LF next year until Damon ups his value enough to be traded. |

I'm hoping Damon is gone soon myself! They really overestimated his health with that contract...man he got old fast once he got here. They should have known all that recklessness would catch up with him. |
