I hope I'm not in the minority on this, but please DFA Myers. He's useless and I have no confidence in him. Unfortunateky, he seems to be one of "Torre's guys".

Thanks, Torre, for taking Wang out and going to the great Vizcaino and Myers.

This is awful.

Mike Myers is Garbage.... He's horrendous. Go back to Boston , you f*king bum.... I hate you..


Myers needs to be gone... anyone in AAA that can fill his spot in the pen??

At this point its not about the bullpen failing how can you expect guys to succeed when they dont have there best stuff... Our bullpen was amazing in the first 5 games then everyone of them got overused to the point that their arms are dead 17 games into the year.

Im just so distraught its painful.

I guess that Paul Tm Dandruff, He's laughing his ass off right now..

Giambi sucks

Was Joe saving Sean Henn for the 9th inning?

Clueless Joe strikes again -

Why bring the RP in and have him throw 4 balls to walk a guy? Oh, so he now can't find the plate and falls behind the next batter with the bases loaded.

Why do you take out your hitters for the defensive replacements in the 6th inning with a huge 1 run lead? Oh, so they are the guys that come up in the 9th when you're behind.

Tell me again why Myers is on this team? Oh, to get the key LH out twice a week.

Cashman is responsible for all the wasted roster space on this team and Torre is an idiot making $7 million a year for WHAT???

George, wake up from your coma George. We need you more than ever!!!!

Our Mr. Cashman did not make any good moves this off season. Ya! This is the result. Swepted by D-rays? Oh painful.

Torre is doing a poor job but blame the guys making the plays.

At least he won't panic - can you imagine this happening on Piniella's watch?

Not that they won't get batter, but anyone without stars in their eyes could see this team was totally overrated coming into this season. For $200MM there is absolutely no excuse for a roster this thin. You with with 25 (really 35 over a whole season) guys, not 10 superstars and a bunch of fill-ins.

Here's another good one. Torre takes out Wang at 81 pitches. Brings in Vizcaino to walk a guy to load the bases to set up the double play. What pitcher is best suited to get us a double play ground ball? WANG !!!!! Torre is an IDIOT.

I hope Yankees lose Remaining their games. As a lifetime and Diehard Yankees Fan, I hope We get the first pick of draft and It's time to Rebuild. Sorry Guys, I don't think It's The Yankees year to win World Series this year. I have feeling this is not our year because of the injuries in the pitching staff, The bullpen being awful right now and Joe's cluless.

There is no question there are alot of people responsible for this spiral and JOKE of a start 180 mil payroll???. Cashman, for creating a club with a huge lack of depth, Mentkevich? Wow, he's bad. Players? Entire bullpen. Damon, hurt or not is pathetic. All Abreu has done is strike out or GIDP the past 4 games. Melky is a solid fielder but is clearly not ready for this level, forget last year...look at his stats. If not for arod this 180 mil dollar team would be 5-14. Forget the disaster tonight, which it was. With Boston losing games they must beat teams like tampa with a 25 mil payroll. Anyway, bottom line, Joe has to go! He sleep walks around and that is contagious to everyone. He mismanages the game like no other. The team needs a shake up now!!!!! Is anyone tired of seeing the top guys getting hit by pitches without even a brushback of the opposition. Mike myers is next, he is BAD and has to get realeased tonight regardless of how much they have to pay the underhanded clown

stop protecting

joe when face with pressure he is wrong. i cannot explain but all i can remember is that if faced with the same situation buck billy or low would have had a different approach play for the tie and hope to defeat their pen or put HENN against crawford

It was dumb signing by Cashman going after Myers . Joe didn't have to use Myers tonight Should've gone with Henn: he is the better pitcher.

This really isn't the crux of the issue though. The real issue is that for several years he has shown no clue in how to handle a bullpen. How can that be tolerated? How does one that makes so many mistakes with the pen allowed to keep his job? Enough with allowing this guy to stay on because of what happened in the past. I think now it's best for both sides if they parted ways as soon as possible.

Some have said Joe has been "panicking" this year. Panic would imply that under normal circumstances he would not have done what he did. While in fact Torre has been pulling this constantly this year. wice right off the top of my head with Myers, and it cost us both times. To Ortiz and then Crawford. Also with the pinch running in this game as well as the Sox games.


Henn should have been in instead of a very overused Vizcaino but once you have the righty in you have ot go to your "lefty" specialist to face Crawford. The problem here isn't doing what you have to it is that the guy shouldn't be on the team. This is another example of Joes boy's killing us Henn can't pitch in a tight situation because he is a rookie and for some unknown reason he thinks Vizcaino(who when used properly is solid) is gods gift to relief pitching. I'm not sure at this point if we can even blame Joe because everything he touches turns to s**t it doesn't matter what decison he makes right or wrong it always turns out wrong. This team seems cursed right now.


Sean Henn

Lefties are batting .182 off of Henn with a 364 OPS AGAINST


Lefties are batting 200 off of Myers with a ..600 ops Against.


Henn has only given up 2 hr's in the past 2 years combined with 2007 and 2006 at in AAA and Mlb.

What choice would you have made.

Susan Waldman on the Yankees postgame radio show said that Torre is sticking with Myers as the lefty specialist guy. I guess Torre goes by who he likes as opposed to who earns it. What a great manager. One who cares about veterans and their feelings as opposed to results.

Myers I hope you slip on the wet noodle you threw up there tonight! You need to go now!!
Joe T has burned out the bullpen in April. New record? Please forget the pitch counts and let the Pitchers pitch.
