Next day's pitcher.

"The Yankees have held two team meetings over the last 10 days after bad losses. This one was loud, players said. Joe Girardi is never profane and wasn’t this time. But he and his coaches were forceful.

There’s a problem with meetings, however. What happens if you lose the next day?"

Girardi at least shows some guts for doing this the day before his team faces Josh Beckett. Beckett vs. Rasner is practically a guaranteed Red Sox win, aside from the standard disclaimers about how anything can happen.


"The Yankees played like they had a cab to catch. Or Madonna’s limo."

Madonna's the problem.

ARod's the problem.

Madonna's relationship with ARod is the problem.

Listen, if having sex with Madonna helps the players slug .600, then maybe it's time for a gangbang.
