Yanks Come So Close Yet So Far

Philip Hughes may have given up seven runs in two innings, but I'm blaming this one on Kyle Farnsworth.

The Sox were all over Hughes from the very first inning, smacking six hits and scoring seven runs, but the Yanks put on a decent display themselves, scoring four off a shaky Daisuke Matsuzaka. They scored another in the eighth inning off Timlin thanks to a solo shot by Giambi -- the second homer Timlin served up to Giambi in this series -- to put the score at 7-5 with a win just two runs out of sight for the Yanks.

No such luck, though. Farnsworthless came in to pitch the bottom of the eighth and let the Sox tack on another run and the Yanks would up losing the game 8-5 and the series 2-1.

"But Yankees Chick," you say, "Farny only gave up one run. How could you blame him for the Yanks failures tonight? What about A-Rod? He was 0-5 tonight!"

I'll tell you why, my silly friends: Because everything Farnsworth touches turns to FAIL.

I really, really don't like him.

The Yanks and Sox are facing off again in just a few more days, so as long as Farny stays away they have a chance to take back the lead in the season series (and the standings, of course).

Figures. He's the only Yankee I like.

When is being a badass going to be back in style?

I guess you don't need any knowledge of baseball to post on this site! Everything Farnsworth touches turns "to fail"?? He touched a Yankee uniform and became an overpaid multi-millionaire didn't he. Maybe he should have been catching, so he could have thrown the ball all the way to second while everyone was stealing bases! Love that NY logic... LOL

Speaking of FAIL, it takes three runs to win a game when you're down 7-5, Yankees chick.

Wow. I usually agree with what you write, but this is bogus. Try blaming the offense that can't hit worth shit right now. Yeah, they'll bust out of it, but as of right now, they are the reason we've lost 7 games.

Gotta throw the blame for Sunday's loss on Girardi(again)Top of the 8th 2 on and no outs and Girardi has Damon swinging away..right into a DP.Should have bunted them over.Bringing Farnsworthless(you stole my name for him YC)in was just that..WORTHLESS!!! I have his home number in Georgia,I should call and yell at his wife.I know,I know.."it's only the 12th/13th game of the season"..but you know what?.These games COUNT AS LOSSES!!!!.Stop being a buddy to these guys Joe and manage them.

Ahh YankeesChick. Cute..not too bright though, eh? I mean seriously the yankees are done. Don't brag about 26 titles..thats the past. A good percentage, if not all, of the Yankees have amazing multi-million dollar contracts and they all are flawed. What's up with #13 being able to hit dozens of homeruns during the season yet zilch in the playoffs? Makes ya think where all that money's going, doesn't it?

Oh and please I beg every blogger, newspaper, etc. to not write one more forsaken article about a curseless jersey buried in yankees stadium. That's ridiculous and Hank Steinbrenner should be punched in the face for his comments and reaction to that. If any normal human being believes a jersey from a rival team has the ability to make your team lose than you're Class A, Section 8 Pyschologically Insane douchebag.

Hi, Yankees Chick! I wouldn't put yesterday's loss squarely on Farnsworth's shoulders-not this time-though he certainly didn't help...I think you're too harsh on him, YC, giving him a monicker like "Farnsworthless."

I mean, give the guy a little credit-he's usually decent when the Yanks have a 5 run lead and I bet he'll be outstanding when they lead by 10 or more...
