The Losses Keep Coming (Postgame Notes 13 July 2008)

No excuses.

The Yankees had another lackluster effort today.

Andy Pettitte had one bad inning in the second, and it cost the Yankees the game.

A solo home run by Jason Giambi in the ninth was the only offense the Yankees could muster against AJ Burnett, who was pitching on three days' rest, on a 90 pitch count and pitched into the ninth inning.

It is certainly not the way the Yankees wanted to go into the All Star Break, but, like their entire season so far, the offense is non existent.

Check back tomorrow for some more detailed insight into the first half of the Yankees' 2008 season.

  1. Matsui might be back Friday and Damon should be back soon too. Hopefully that helps this anemic offense.

  2. I don't remember the team being much better WITH Damon and Matsui, so I think what we've seen so far is what they really are.

    It's going to be a long 2nd half.
