Really?
I mean, really?

Bye Bruney
Well, that did not last to long. Hopefully they can figure out the problem and Bruney will return sooner rather than later. In the mean time, let's hope the Yankees keep on rolling.

Welcome Back Bruney
Boy do they need him.
Rivera and Coke can't do it alone and having that third, reliable arm in the pen shortens the game considerably.
With Coke now gased after throwing 79 pitches in the last few days, Bruney should be pitching tonight.

Cano?
Robinson Cano is a confusing player.
He has a great, smooth swing and at times looks like a world class hitter.
However other times he looks lost, impatient and out of his league.
It?s becoming very hard to judge him, because his numbers year to year are so different.
Really, his numbers within the season are also a bit strange and he's still struggling with men on base. He hit's .380 with the bases empty and .412 when there's a runner on first, but that drops to .231 with a runner on second and down to .186 with RISP. Still, despite those terrible stats he's still fourth on the team in RBI?s and third in Runs.
Another strange occurrence: he?s hitting .407 in day games (54 AB?s) and just .260 at night (77 AB?s).
He's a hard player to figure out and he's slumping bad right now, but when that swing is working he puts on a clinic. As a team (aside from Damon) the Yankees numbers with RISP need to go up but Cano's numbers, I think, are the most surprising.
I like where he's hitting in the lineup lately. The 7 spot is a good place for him. Some people point to his average and want him behind Matsui or A-Rod, but I don't think he's suited (yet) for that role. He needs to become a better all around hitter.

This is Becoming Normal
Through May 5th:
2007: 13-15
Runs Scored: 169
Runs Allowed: 147
2008: 16-16
Runs Scored: 148
Runs Allowed: 145
2009: 13-13
Runs Scored: 146
Runs Allowed: 159
Those numbers will go up once tonight's game is final...
There are a lot of excuses the Yankees can use, but they don't hold water. The bullpen is a mess, clutch hitting is still terrible, and the manager's decisions lately have been questionable at best.
This team is in a decent amount of trouble, once again.
