quote Mr Matthews48

I have said for some time now, that I don't think Joba is a starter.

Come the playoffs, I doubt Girardi keeps Joba in the rotation.

And Griffey is done after this season. I love Griffey more than I have loved any other player but theres no doubt in my mind he is done after this season.

What the *bleep*, seriously, losing 2 of 3 to the Mariners? Honestly Girardi might as well just hand the AL East over to the Red Sox if he's going to keep putting Joba out there in the starting role. It's so blatently obvious that he's not cut out to be a starter and he's totally lights out in the pen. He gave up like 7 runs in 3 innings, I stopped watching because he was sucking so bad. A week after the Yankees get beat 2 of 3 by the *bleep*ing last place Orioles they get owned by the Mariners....Now the Sox are only 5 games back with a critical series coming up this weekend...I don't know man...I'm just saying if I ran things, Joba would've been back in the pen a LONG time ago after this experiment went wrong the first time.

quote ChiroVette

Seattle played a great game, and I am going to tell you right now, that if they Gerardi cannot get it through his head that Joba is NOT a starting pitcher then the Yankees are going to get their asses handed to them in the playoffs. No to mention with a few tough series' coming up, it is no lock that they will get the AL East the way they are playing now, particularly with Boston so insanely hot.

<sub>Unfortunately both Hank Steinbrenner and Joe Girardi are idiots. They're ruining a kid and making him confused what to be. I think it's too little too late for Joba. He's completely screwed up by both these assholes, and why I still prefer Joe Torre and how he hanlded him over Girardi.

I think everyone with a brain cell has said Joba isn't a starter and his AAA numbers as starter was proof enough. WHERE THE HELL IS WANG?! put this guy out there I mean christ sake man.</sub>
