Kyle Farnsworth failed to get through the eighth inning again Sunday. He only got one batter out and let in three runs, two earned. I take this preformance as a cry for help, he wants out and I want him gone. Ca$h, get rid of this guy.

The Yankees had a chance to win it in the 11th when they loaded the bases with one out against Steve Kline. But Hideki Matsui struck out on three pitches and Robinson Cano grounded out to end the threat. New York has lost four of five.

“It’s disappointing,” Matsui said through an interpreter. “We had opportunities to capitalize but we didn’t. It’s time to move on.” (Source)

Terrible game Saturday. The Yankees should’ve won 10-4, instead we lose 6-5 in 13 innings. Cano, Matsui and Abreu left 17 men on base combined. Inexcusable.

Scott Proctor gave up #749 to one Barry Lamar Bonds, his 15th of the year. He’s now six away from 755 and Hank Aaron.

Here is a scenario: Bonds breaks the record, the Giants fall way out of the race and look to trade Bonds to the American League so he can DH. Why wouldn’t the Yankees be interested? Besides the media circus that Bonds brings, the crazy New York Media too and that he cheated and defaced the one truely pure thing in his life. Beside all of that stuff, why not?

He’s leading the league with a .490 OBP, he has an OPS+ of 182 and he’s walked 71 times this year. Look at this lineup:

1B Damon
SS Jeter
RF Abreu
3B A-Rod
DH Bonds
C Posada
LF Matsui
2B Cano
CF Melky (possibly Milton Bradley)

They won’t be able to walk Bonds as much in this lineup and if they do then the bottom of the order would dominate. I think its a good idea and I can’t stand Bonds.

The Yankees will demote one of their relief pitchers today to make room for left-hander Kei Igawa to start against the Giants.Igawa was 2-1 with a 7.63 ERA in six games for the Yankees before being demoted to the minors in May. He then went 3-3, 2.65 in six starts as his delivery was changed.

“I want to see comfort, I want to see him in a good rhythm, a good tempo,” Torre said. “The first few innings will be important for him.”

Igawa hasn’t pitched since June 14.

C’mon, let’s see the new and improved Igawa! Ugh.

RHP Phil Hughes is scheduled to have the boot removed from his left ankle on Friday. Hughes suffered a Grade III sprain while rehabbing in May from a left hamstring injury.

It is possible that Hughes could be back in the rotation in August. It will be interesting to see if we can even get a good month out of Kei Igawa.

Manager Joe Torre said Thursday that he plans to watch Johnny Damon (abdomen) for several more days before deciding if he needs a stint on the disabled list.

Damon started in center field Thursday, moving to first base in the late innings while going 0-for-4 at the plate. “It looked like he was, at times, hampered a little bit,” Torre said. “His last at-bat was good; he hit the line drive to third base. He’s going to battle you.”

This is incredibly dumb. Damon should’ve been on the DL months ago. I already have a solution to replace him for the rest of the year.

This was an absolutly brutal series for Yankee fans. To watch those Colorado Rockies fans break out the brooms today was something I not only never thought I’d see in my lifetime, but also something I really could’ve done without today. Yanks are 35-35, 10.5 back of the Red Sox. I think I’m going to vomit.

Here is a cliff notes game story:

• Clemens was bad 4.1 IP 7 HA 4 ER 1 BB 6 K
• Hitting wasn’t there again.
• Base running mistakes by Jeter all day.
• Damon 0-6 this series, he sucks, go on the DL already. Bring me Milton Bradley.
• We go to San Fran, Matt Cain vs. Kei Igawa Friday night.
