Yankee Doubters Are Already Coming From Within

With the exception of Alex Rodriguez's early form, it's been a tough start of the season for the New York Yankees.

The starting staff is devastated with injuries, longtime captain Derek Jeter has been slumping at the plate and leads the league in errors, and the Yankees were just swept by the Red Sox in a three-game series, the first such sweep since 1990.

And guess what? Fans aren't the only ones doubting the Yanks early on. Players inside the organization are hopping on, too:
The scouting report sounded more like a complaint, which it wasn't. Not really. The Yankee veteran was simply stating a fact, an obvious one after getting swept at Fenway, about why the Bomber golden era could be in jeopardy.

"What we have right now, I'm not sure it's enough," is what the veteran was saying before Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Sox, which again exposed every Yankee flaw: inferior starting pitching, an untrustworthy bullpen and a reliance on Alex Rodriguez that will soon (or maybe has) run dry.

...And here's one more curiosity that was vocalized Sunday night, as everyone was answering questions about Matsuzaka, his killer change-up, and the urban legend of his gyro-ball.

"You know what I'm wondering? I want to know why he's not here," said another Yankee veteran. The question was a not-so-subtle jab at the mere $33 million the Yankee bid on the Japanese star last winter.

First pitcher pitches 3 innings and gives up 9 runs. The score is 9-2 when he leaves the game.
Second pitcher gives up 5 more runs in the 4th inning and zero in the fifth and sixth, meanwhile, his team scored 7 times in the 5th inning. Making the final score 14-9.
I heard a parent (of 1st pitcher) say that since his kid was taken out after giving up 9 runs, he is not the losing pitcher since his team scored 9 runs.
I say, if you are the pitcher of record and your team is losing when you are replaced, you always get the loss unless your team ties up the game at some point or takes the lead.

I'm a bit sick and tired of this "I'm trying to focus" thing he keeps saying.

Are you good in practice but when it comes to a real game do you choke?
If so how did you overcome it?
What do you think caused it?

Ball is played at first and beats the returning runner. Is he forced out or does he have to be tagged?

I can't go more than 1 minute watching an NBA game without seeing every player travel on route to the basket. And no referees ever call it! Since when can you run 3 steps and then lay it up? Since when can you run two steps, stop, pivot and then shoot? You have to release the ball at the conclusion of the second step. I hate watching this crap. Anyone with me, lol?

For example, the Miz could be a Mister Kennedy, the Boogeyman could be a Kane or Undertaker, Shannon Moore could be the rocker of WWE (as Cena was the Rapper).

It's not just those superstars, it's a lot more. Why does WWE choose to hold all these wrestlers back? They should focus on all their wrestlers, not just Undertaker, HBK, Umaga, and John Cena.

As I am finishing up my first year of collegiate track I am looking for what I think is a greater challenge that any track race. The Marathon. I am a solid runner and have been for 7 years now and have actually placed in a Half-Marathon before (1 hr 26min 36sec). I know of at least one marathon neaby my hometown and plan on running it at the end of the summer and am going to try to run it as far under 3 hours as I can. I was wondering if any other runners who have ran a marathon or any coaches out there would have any suggestions for me as I train this summer. Suggestions about race strategy, hydration, and training tips are most appreciated. Thanks.

as a baseball fan, did you ever think that only players makes the difference in baseball games?...if u did, then your wrong. Manager is, of course, another big player in baseball games. One decision by manager could change the whole complexion of the game.

Who do you think is the best MANAGER all time? INCLUDING the current managers?
