We are down 2-0 in the series to Cleveland.

Disgraceful!

Cleveland is a GREAT team. I don't know why you think that is disgraceful. They have the two best pitchers in the AL outside of Beckett in the starting staff, and the two best relievers outside of JJ Putz. Does it suck that our players forgot how to swing the bat? Yeah, certainly does. Does it suck that Wang was awful last night? Yeah it does. Does it suck that those "canadian soldiers" invaded the field in the 8th inning, totally messing up Joba? Ye-ep.

I guess we just have to hope A-Rod emerges in NY. With Westbrook pitching on Sunday, I think we can keep ourselves alive, and if not... well... they gave us a heck of a season.

It's discraceful because......

WE'RE ABOUT TO BE ELIMINATED IN THE ALDS AGAIN!

The Indians won both of their home games like they were supposed to. Now you're going back to NYC for two home games, and you should win both like you're expected to. The series doesn't really start until Game 5.

When a team is up 2-0 they have all the momentum. It will be something to see if the Yanks pull there heads out and play like there supposed to.

We shou have won that game, our MVP came up small AGAIN in 3 chances to knock in runs. That was the difference in the game, if this continues over the next 3 games I can't wait to see him in a Cubs uniform next year.

He just needs one hit to get him out of this enormous slump. I think if he gets it he will be relieved and play like the AROD we know.

Let's not start killing A-Rod again. The truth of the matter is no one is hitting. Not A-Rod. Not Jeter. Not Matsui. Not Posada. When that happens, you're not going to win many ball games.

And btw, momentum is highly overrated. So many teams have blown 2-0 leads in the division series, you can pretty much throw any idea of momentum right out the door. All that matters is the next game and the next starting pitcher.

I wouldn't get too worked up about Arod or the Yankees as a team. They are losing to a better team!!

I disagree because I believe only 1 team has came back from a 0-2 hole to win the series, that was the 01 Yankees I believe over Oakland.

So did everyone, dont just point fingers at Arod, your whole team had 3 hits the whole game, dont just single out Arod.

You forget Boston vs. Oakland in '03 and Boston vs. Cleveland in '99. I still contend that momentum is only as good as your next starting pitcher.

You had to bring that up didn't you

Ther have been plenty of teams to come back down 2-0. we are still very much in this series, I expect to win these next 2 then we'll see what happens in Cleveland. Thee's no excuse for not taking these next 2 games.
