		<description>seriously....can we please just sit back and enjoy this streak and stop quibbling over Tino vs. Giambi....beating sub-.500 teams...beating pitchers with 56.00 ERA&#039;s....the fact that we are still behind the Blue Jays..trading Cano for Clemens...Joe Torre&#039;s batting order...Brian Cashmans bad moves since 1995...etc etc etc.

Let&#039;s just enjoy the wins....and leave the Negative Nancy syndrome to the professionals. (aka- Sox Fans pre 2004)

By the way- unrelated- when is Bernie finally going to get the credit he deserves and starts being mentioned as a legitimate HOF candidate?

		<description>We&#039;re all turning into Red Sox fans and looking for the lead lining all the time.

		<description>Clay- I&#039;m siding with you a bit...give the guy some credit here.

Call me naive- but I still think there is a huge upside to Giambi.  His OBP is extraordinary for someone who couldn&#039;t buy a hit.

Torre tells Giambi to swing the damn bat..and he is...and its working....is he the Giambi of old? not even close but he&#039;s showing signs

So we&#039;ve won 10 in a row and we still aren&#039;t happy.

		<description>Jason, I couldn&#039;t agree with you more re: Clemens. The problem is that he&#039;s only a short term solution. I think that keeping a few younger players that perform well within the team will do more for the Yanks in the longer term as exemplified by the &quot;homegrown&quot; likes of Jeter, Rivera, Posada &amp; Williams...

		<description>Recall JG&#039;s numbers in his last 4 years in Oakland: That, and his contract, means he should be producing like A-Rod.

I&#039;m still rooting for him, but the Yankees should set very high performance goals.  He made his own bed and created the pressure that is currently on him.

		<description>Wow, Giambi gets three hits (one a homerun), and should still be taken out back and shot?

I assume you&#039;ve checked and all of Tino&#039;s home runs would have been no-doubters in any major league park, and they were all hit off of &quot;pitcher&#039;s pitches&quot; and not mistakes?

Now, I agree I&#039;d prefer to see Tino in the field at Shea this weekend over Giambi, but can you at least give Giambi a little credit?

		<description>Clemens should just stay at the Lone Star State and retire, and be a hall of famer.
Giambi cant do anything for this team. He&#039;s a DH and nothing more. Even being a DH is doubtful for him. Yankz should buy him out, and he should take the offer cause its really sad/pathetic to watch him play.

		<description>BTW, what on God&#039;s green earth was a-goin&#039; on (Slim Pickens)
with ump Doug Eddings&#039;s strike zone last night?

MLB in-demand gave me the FSN Northwest feed last night, I wonder if the YES guys were talking about it.
