The Yanks battled back from an 8–0 deficit in the 2nd inning today to tie the game at 8–8. Then they fell behind 11–8, before closing the gap to 11–9, then Kyle Farnsworth came in.

So far, he’s thrown two-thirds of an inning and given up two solo home runs. A two-run deficit is a bloop and a blast, a four-run lead is a big rally. Put the big lurch on waivers, if someone is stupid enough to claim him, you let him become their problem.

There is no place on this team for him. He can’t pitch in games that are even remotely close. He can’t pitch on back-to-back days, he never shuts his mouth. He finally recorded the third out of the top of the eighth and he was showered with boos as he left the field.

Maybe he’ll just quit, or take the Pavano’s way out and fake an injury.

I’m sick to my stomach.

UPDATE: 2 Days ‘til Phil Hughes. I couldn’t bring myself to watch the replay of the game, listening to most of it was painful enough.

Player of The Game: Bobby Abreu, 3 for 5, 2 runs, 2 RBI, 1 HR.

    My condolences, Brian. I don't know why Joe keeps calling on this guy with the other options he has.

    One good thing...the Yanks are hitting the cover off the ball. My Phils are in a similar position, although the wife beaters aren't near the closers that Mo is and you guys have a distinct advantage there, if you can get to the ninth.

    He might not be the best guy on the mound, but noone, noone can spear another guy into the ground like Farnsworth!

    painful listening to the game??? try BEING there as torre brings him in. its 11-9 u bring him in?! what?! it makes no sense. its EXACTLY the same as if the game is 2-0. u dont bring farns in a 2-0 game do you? so why in an 11-9 game? ugh! i was so mad.

    i did get laughs from the newly minted "jorge hates you" chant, though.

    That's awesome. Here's what I don't get, Joe brought Viz into a game that was well in hand last night (7-1 in the eighth) and has him pitch into the ninth, when the Yanks are up 8-1. Why not use Karstens in that situation, and save Viz for today, if needed?

    I just don't get it at all.

    I asked myself the same thing. I've always been on the For Torre side, but sometimes i wonder...I almost hope after this season he just retires, and the problem can save itself, sort of?
