“We need to play better. We need to hit better. We need to play better defense and pitch better. It starts with me,” Girardi said after his Yanks lost for the fifth time in six games and remained at the bottom of the AL East. “You can put it on me. The leader needs to take charge and find a way to win.”
“That doesn’t matter that guys are out,” captain Derek Jeter said. “You can bring back Gehrig, Ruth and DiMaggio, but we haven’t been playing well. That’s the bottom line.”
Hank Steinbrenner told the Daily News Sunday night that “no changes” are immediately in order, adding, “We got what we got. It’s not a heck of a lot different than last year and we can make the same kind of run.”
Not a lot to argue with there.

Giambi should not play 1B when Wang is on the mound.

You’re 5/11 correct.

Should Giambi ever play 1st base? No.
This team is a mess, badly put together, aging, and without the ownership willing to have a bad season or two to allow the young pitching to find its way.

The AL doesn’t look particulary strong this year, so I am still optimistic that the Yankees can make a run like last season.
I don’t think they have any chance of winning a World Series this year with the roster they have now but I wasn’t expecting them to win this year anyway. I will just be happy to see them make the playoffs, even if it means I will end up complaining when they lose in the first round again, haha.
