All I have for you guys tonight is a letter for Joe. Oh, and for the record, it wouldn't have made one iota of difference if Farnsworth was here. Joe had a righty up in the pen (Robertson) and other one sitting on his ass out there (Veras) and didn't go to either of them.

I've given him the benefit of the doubt for most of the season now, he's had some tough injuries to deal with, and a lot of the guys have under-performed, but tonight was a game the Yanks had to have and he blew it for them. I hope this isn't indicative of the type of decisions he's going to make down the stretch.

Please stop acting like Farnsworth was the second coming. He had 2 good months out of three seasons with the Yanks, and they weren't even that good. He was the least-effective out of Veras, Robertson and Edwar. He was expendable, especially considering the need at catcher, and there was absolutely a need at catcher. If Joe had actually gone to one of his righties and they didn't get the job done, maybe I'd entertain some Farnsworth conversation, but he didn't. Joe blew this one, plain and simple.
