D-J please don't became a stroker like some people we all know and hate.
Rookie pitching shouldn't be an excuse, It has been a weak spot for some time now. just as putting that old man Schilling up as an excuse would be for Boston fans. And give Beckett who pitched good enough or any other pitcher there due. They face a hard Yankee lineup. Every pitcher in the league hates to face these guys.
Just like they hate to pitch to Manny. But don't put a pitcher down because he give up hits to A-rod, who is red hot so far this season. The truth is we lost and three big games that we really hated to see lose. It is always tuff to lose to your #1 Rivals.
It hurts to see the METs get taken down by their rival too. Hell, it was a tuff weekend for baseball.
Things like, "just wait, it is early yet," or "look what happen last year" or our guys are hurt are just hot air. You can't try to talk the Boston win away with hot air. It only makes us look bad.
It is baseball man, every game, every out and every pitch stands by itself. Otherwise you should turn off your sets and just watch the playoffs.
Now if we lose to Tampa Bay this week ..........
But there are plenty of positives to take away from this series. First, none of the Boston pitchers dominated. Schilling should have lost game one w/o the blown save. Beckett got rocked. Matsuzaka isn't invincible, and can't pitch inside. I agree that this hurts as a fan, but in the big picture, the Yankees have been worse off (see 2005 with 11-19 start and basically no injuries, compared to our start this year).
In the grand scheme of things, these are just four games we'll have to earn back when they come to Yankee Stadium.
