He who bunts Abreu, who has almost never bunted. Thanks, Joe! Gotta start a new streak tomorrow, and this one better last longer than 1.

awful loss. Other then A-Rod our O was non-existent.
from Gammons blog 6/23:
Yankees GM Brian Cashman is trying to build a warehouse of pitchers, not only because Roger Clemens, Andy Pettite and Mike Mussina are all old enough to enter the New Hampshire primary, but to avoid another round of Carl Pavanos and Jaret Wrights. Hughes was an unfortunate loss, because his ceiling is so high, but the Yankees now have pitchers Ian Kennedy, Joba Chamberlain, Alan Horne and Jeffrey Marquez knocking on the door at Double-A, Ross Ohlendorf (who could end up being an important seventh and eighth inning pitcher for the Yanks come September) and by this time next year will have Humberto Sanchez and Andrew Brackman back from surgery and on the road to reaching the big leagues. Cashman may trade one or two of the pitching prospects to make the playoffs this season, but Hughes will not be available in any trade, including any deals involving Mark Teixeira or Alex Rios.
Joba, Tabata and Betances better not be available, either.
I agree. Now is not the time for Cash to do anything foolish.
Cashman faces a tough decision. This team is nearing the brink again. If Cashman doesn't make a trade soon (most likely including good prospects) he could lose his job at the end of the season and someone else will be able to squander the prospects he has accumulated.
Of course, the most efficient thing to do would be to fire Torre, and to his discredit, he won't do that.
