OT: Two Incredible collapses in one night

Sabathia's problem is he is carrying far too much weight. He was having a fine season until fatigue set in. If he shed 20-30 pounds, he would have had a better September and October.

Yu Darvish???? Please take Dice-k at a discount.

The track record of Japanese pitchers translating (no pun intended) to the big leagues is not too good. It seems as if the best only have a couple year shelflife.

I think the Yankees just have too much money tied up in crap. Posada at a discounted rate as a fulltime DH isn't such a bad idea. But ARod? CC? Jeter? No good. Pitching wins in the playoffs and Nova might be their only 'decent' pitcher (other than CC). Hughes is shot. With the old position players and weak starting pitching they're not fixable in one year.

Hughes is shot!!! Thats pretty funny, sure looked good yesterday. And they are fixable in one year. I sure hope your not a Yankee fan, cause if so your a horrible fan. And we dont know yet whether C.C is coming back, he can opt out.

I'm not a Yankee fan but if I was I'd say the same thing because I'm capable of being objective. And yes, Hughes is shot. I guess we should go on the few outs he got yesterday instead of the entire season. As for your predictive abilities, everything I said about this series came to fruition and everything you said was wrong. Stick with me -- Phil Hughes is not considered the fix to the Yankees' starting pitching problems.
