I know it's only one loss...

I know it's only one loss, but it was a home loss. I think the Tigers beating the Yankees yesterday really changes the whole dynamic of the ALDS. Obviously if you are in a 2-0 situation like the Mets, Cards and A's, you are in great shape. But with Randy Johnson pitching tonight, with a bad back, in cold, damp Detroit, I don't like the Yankees chances at all. It's supposed to be around 50 degrees at game time. Randy Johnson usually doesn't pitch well in cold weather. Factor in a herniated disk in his back, and I don't see him doing very well at all. I see Maglio Ordonez and Pudge Rodriguez taking Randy deep. What could save the Yankees is the fact that the Tigers have a fossil pitching for them as well. I think if the Yankees lose tonight, the series is over. I think if the series goes to 5 games, the Yankees lose. Verlander looked just about unhittable yesterday. If it comes down to game 5, and Jim Leland puts Verlander on the mound, I don't like the Yankees chances. It's times like this where I really miss big game pitchers like Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens and David Cone. They always seemed to be able to "stop the bleeding" when the Yankees needed a big win. The middle 3 in the Yankees lineup yesterday were a combined 0-11 with 7 strikeouts.

Why am I so stressed out? Because I don't feel like the millionaires suiting it up in pinstripes are stressed out. Sans Jeter, Posada, Rivera and Matsui they don't seem to care. If it were up to me and I were manager I would sit Sheffield, A-Rod and Giambi and put in Cabrerra, Cairo and Philips in their place. Im pretty sure if you put those three in there, they will get at least 1 hit. And Im pretty sure Miguel Cauro won't make 3 throwing errors in one game like Mr. Headcase has been known to do. Even if they don't get a hit, you are no worse off. They at least have heart and play 100% all the time. And what the hell happened to Robinson Cano? The guy finished like 3 or 4 points back of winning the batting title. He goes 0-4 in both games so far. He left 6 men in scoring position yesterday. Had he knocked just one of those runs in, we could be looking at 2-0 series lead for the Yankees.

COME ON!!!!! LETS GO YANKEES!!!!
