Random Thoughts and Comments on the Yankees

I like Joe Girardi a lot. But sometimes I feel like the man has no idea what he is doing. Consider the following:
- In the first three games of this series, Johnny Damon and Jason Giambi, THE TWO HOTTEST HITTERS ON THE TEAM COMING IN, have each not started a game, for, respectively, Shelley Duncan and Wilson Betemit.
- Most innings pitched out of the bullpen: Ross Ohlendorf
- Second-most innings pitched out of the bullpen: KYLE FARNSWORTH
- Edwar Ramirez has allowed 11 hits and 6 walks in 16 innings, has given up one solo homer for his only run, has 15 strikeouts, a 0.56 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. Kyle Farnsworth is still the setup man.
- Chris Britton has given up 5 base runners in 6 innings, but when he is called up hardly ever pitches. He has pitched in 3 games; LaTroy Hawkins has pitched in 20.

Other noteworthy stuff:
- Mike Mussina is tied for the AL lead in wins. Seriously.
- Chien-Ming Wang in his last 5 games: 0-2, 5.67 ERA.
- Shelley Duncan's line this season: .161/.250/.250 in 56 at bats.
- A-Rod with runners in scoring position: .194/.341/.250 with 0 HRs. I'm just saying...
- Bobby Abreu with RISP: .377/.441/.604
