A quick recap of the Yankees’ 2009 season to date
July 10, 2009
* They are 0-8 against the Red Sox.
* Chien-Ming Wang is 1-6 and on the DL for a second time.
* Brian Bruney missed 40 games over two DL stints and hasn’t found his groove since he returned.
* Joba Chamberlain has been erratic every five days.
* Mark Teixeira hit .190 in April and went 95 at-bats without a home run in June/July.
* Alex Rodriguez missed a month after hip surgery.
* His replacement, Cody Ransom, then went on the DL himself, leaving third-base to scrappy minor-leaguer Ramiro Pena and aging 31-year-old Angel Berroa until A-Rod came back.
* Jorge Posada (22 games) and Jose Molina (54 games) have both been on the DL, leaving catching duties to Double-A call-up Francisco Cervelli and journeyman Kevin Cash.
* Robinson Cano went about two weeks without an RBI and hasn’t hit with guys on base all year.
* Xavier Nady played for a week before blowing out his elbow.
* Andy Pettitte’s ERA at Yankee Stadium is almost 6.00.
* Damaso Marte pitched terribly and has been out with a bum shoulder since April.
* Edwar Ramirez and Jose Veras stunk and were sent down/released.
* The Yankees are 51-34 and tied for first place in the American League East.
when ur missing all your best players besides Wright and Santana, u should expect to be terribleLooks like the Mets are about to lose again. This team is just horrible offensively and it starts with the leadoff man. Jerry Manuel is like playing musical chairs with the lineup. I am starting to lose my faith more and more on Jerry. He makes these dumb decisions that make no sense. I seriously cant believe Wright is hitting .325 with this awful lineup.
This deficit feels like 5 1/2 on the way to 10 well before we're likely to see Reyes or Beltran or Delgado........
