So the Yankees lost again on Sunday. People are calling for Torre’s head, people are ready to hand the division title to Boston. Personally I want the Yankees to make some moves to get some pitching help. I don’t necessarily want Clemens for 25 million for July to Oct. Sure it’s Roger Clemens. But its 44 or 45 year old Roger Clemens. I may be in the minority of Yankee fans, but I would take 2 or three years of mediocrity to get younger and build for the future. I like the direction Cashman took this past off season and i would love to see them continue in that direction.
On a sadnote in baseball this weekend, a relief pitcher with the Cardinals was killed this weekend in a car accident. Always sad to see when someone so young is killed. He wasn’t a household name, but he was still a friend, teammate, family member to alot of people out there. Cardinals lost another teammate 5 years ago when Darryl Kile was found in his hotel room. Second player killed in 6 months in MLB, the first being Cory Lidle. Just goes to show when your time is up, your time is up, don’t matter who you are, or what you got.
