Yankees' ace Chien-Ming Wang took the mound in the Bronx last night, looking to stop the latest slide. He matched up with Oliver Perez, a lefty with a reputation of being, "maddeningly inconsistent." Perez's underachieving teammates are managed by Willie Randolph, "Who may be too quiet and too dignified for the Met's job."--Gammons. Advantage Yankees? Not so fast.The Bomber lineup featured five left handed hitters against the Mets' southpaw. Ensberg and Duncan, on the roster to provide balance against left handed pitching, watched from the bench, again. Hideki Matsui, who has tried to carry the offense all season, hit a two run homer, but once again, he was the lone producer. The umpires helped the home team by taking a three run Delgado dinger off the board. It didn't matter.
The Yankees were dominated by the Mets 11-2. "There's always more than one way to get the job done. "--Morgan. The basement-dwelling Yankees need to find another way because this way doesn't work.

The Yankees have drained all the enthusiasm out of me. At this stage I'd be content watching as many prospects get called up to play as possible, to see if there is hope for next year.
I strongly feel that Chamberlain needs to get moved to the rotation now. If he reaches his inning limit and can't pitch in the fall that's fine. The Yankees won't be in the running in the fall anyway. The longer Joba stays in the pen, the harder his transition will be. By letting him stay in the pen, the Yankees are letting one of their biggest potential assets slip away.
Hey Jeff, I can relate to your frustration.A year ago I suggested trading as many vets as possible and letting the kids play.Unfortunately,the farm isn't as promising as we were led to believe.They need strong leadership with a common goal. The fact they are waffling about Joba is a really bad sign.
