For some reason, the Yanks continue to be baffled by shitty pitchers. Brett Cecil yesterday and Brian Matusz today and it's more opportunities wasted to extend their division lead and cut down on the magic number. This team seems hellbent on dragging the division race on for as long as they can.
I've been trying to figure this out for the last couple years and I'm still no closer to coming up with an answer. If the Twins and Rangers were smart, they would just roll out their worst starters to face the Yankees in the postseason and keep Francisco Liriano and Cliff Lee on the bench.
And somebody needs to explain to Joe that Brett Gardner should be the leadoff hitter for the rest of the year. Dude has been killing it since Joe moved him up there (.467 OBP since mid-August), but with Swish back in the lineup today Joe decides to move Jeter back up and Gardner back down to the 9-spot. I love Jeter, and I'm all for loyalty, but sooner or later loyalty needs to take a backseat to winning.
