After a Yankee win on Tuesday night Hank Steinbrenner made some comments stating that 2008 is not the Yankees year. And after watching them on Wednesday lose to the Twins in Minnesota maybe he is right.
It was a typical 2008 Yankee game. They did not get the big hits. Starting pitching was not that bad...but bad enough to give up the big hit. And the middle relief did not come through. We can go over and over it but it is more of the same story: this team that was supposed to be the next Murders Row has not come through in the clutch.
And if you look at the whole season the line up from top to bottom, except Abreu and sometimes Damon and Nady, the lineup is very inconsistent. Hank said that in the last 25 years he never saw this many injuries. And coming off a 3 and 7 road trip it showed. Injuries are one thing but when the team is close to full strength they are still very up and down.
You can;t blame it all on injuries and maybe it is time to be sellers not buyers.
