It all feels good now for the Yankees, given the end result. But lost amid the crazy come-from-behind victory over Billy Wagner and the Mets was their awful play in the field. Had the Yankees lost, 4-0, no doubt Yankee fans would be screaming about their defensive play. It was brutal, and has been for a few weeks now. They've made at least one error in eight straight games, and 22 in their last 13. Not good.
As for today, there was, in chronoligical order ... the Alex Rodriguez error in the first, his eighth error in this young season ... the Kelly Stinnett errant throw to second in the same inning ... the Jason Giambi poor flip to Mike Mussina in the fourth, followed by Mussina ambling about behind first base, not knowing the ball was right behind him, as Jose Reyes took off for second ... and the Ron Villone errant pickoff throw in the eighth.
Not good. Not good at all. So who out there is worried about the defense?

I love the Yankees, but this team is killing me.
I think the yanks should replace there scouts so far except for cano they stink at signing good players.
I have said since spring training that Giambi is a "butcher" at 1st base. He should be the permanent D.H. Carlos Pena should be playing 1st. I'm not worried about A.Rod, he will settle down. The defense with the exception of Giambi and Bernie is adequate. What we desperately need is another outfielder that can hit. Reggie Sanders and Craig Wilson would be my preference. We should be able to acquire them without giving up much. Even Jeromy Burnitz if all else fails.
I understand Stinnett is filling in while Posada is out but why does he not spend his free time in the batting cage. He can't even foul a pitch when a hit is needed. He's in the show!
ARod should be a Red Sox's SS. He would put holes in the Green Monster. What a line up, Big Poppy, ARod and Manny. They would 125 HR'S between them. Yankee fans don't want ARod on their team, please trade him to our red Sox's. ARod we would love you on our team. Come to Boston, you would love our city and look goo in red.
