Yanks Lose
On a day when Javier Vazquez finally pitched well, the Yanks didn't hit. At all. They didn't grind. And they didn't run out their best available line-up. Ramiro Pena should basically never start a game over Russo. Russo can hit. Pena not so much. What's more, with Russo still up, the Yankees recalled Golson instead of Miranda, because Girardi was uncomfortable with his OF. I'd be uncomfortable, too, with Winn and Thames, but both Pena and Russo can play OF and have in the minors, so why did we need another OF? What's more, when a pinch runner was needed for Po in the 9th, Girardi used Russo instead of Golson. The bottom of the roster and the strategy are a mess right now. Hopefully, Phil Hughes can end this ridiculous losing streak later today. Go Yanks, please?

You beat me to it about Russo.
It makes no sense. Pena is starting at short in the nightcap. Girardi is an NL lunatic.
It gets worse:
Derek Jeter DH
Brett Gardner CF
Mark Teixeira 1B
Alex Rodriguez 3B
Robinson Cano 2B
Nick Swisher RF
Marcus Thames LF
Francisco Cervelli C
Ramiro Pena SS
RHP Phil Hughes
Thames batting against a righty and playing the field.
