Cliff Lee just put one big nail in the coffin of the Bronx Bombers. AJB could drive a hammer into it tonight if he continues his trend of poor outings.

Should we be concerned AJB was late for his press conference because he was Halloween shopping with his kids?

Probably. I know he’s been able to tune out criticism, but it’s impossible to believe the Yankees are going to get 8 innings of shut out ball tonight. It’s amazing how the media thought the Yankees pitching was on the come up after they shut down a mediocre Twins offense. They aren’t singing that same tune today…..

The problem really is the offense. They did rally in Game 1. That’s about it. Nothing from Tex, Swish, A-rod, Jeter, Posada, or Granderson. Tex and A-rod aren’t the big booming 3-4 hitters you expected. The fact of the matter is; the Yankees are facing Tommy Hunter tonight, not Cliff Lee. Even if Burnett goes 6 and gives up 4, they should be winning. The offense needs to take the attention of AJB, and I’m not sure they will tonight…
