I think that is one problem the Yanks have right now, they are waiting for to many people to mature. Oh and the people who are mature arent doing that great either. Either way I think the ones that are mature need to shape up.

The Yanks sure are getting desperate! Pudge is decent now, nothing like what he used to be. The yanks need better pitchers, but they need a replacement for Posada.

Replace Posada? Why? Because he was hurt this year? His numbers the last few seasons have been incredible unlike you know, Jason Varitek.

If I'm Cashman, I do whatever possible to trade Hughes and Kennedy for a number three starter. I'm tired of hearing about Hughes' potential. His potential must be on the DL as that's where he always finds himself. As for Kennedy, he had a great 14 innings, last year, in September against other September call-ups. Not impressed. I'm still bitter they did not trade both for Johan Santana. A two-time Cy Young winner, lefty, under 30, with dominant stuff for an injury prone prospect and a soft-tossing nibbler who got hammered in 2008. It was a no-brainer. If I'm Cashman, Austin Jackson inherits the CF job. Xavier Nady takes over in RF and becomes the three hitter. Damon/Matsui split LF and DH. I buy out Giambi but try to re-sign him to a lesser deal. I go after Sabathia and try to work out a deal for Brad Penny. Maybe the Dodgers are dumb enough to accept Hughes, Kennedy, Melky and Alan Horne for Penny? This would be the ideal lineup, at least for me: Damon-LF Jeter-SS Nady-RF Arod-3B Giambi-1B Posada-C Matsui-DH Cano-2B Jackson-CF Rotation: Sabathia Chamberlain Penny Wang Pettitte The best part is you reduce payroll by about $60mm, too.

Absolutely positively right on with this one...though I feel the lineup should look something like this:

Damon, Jeter, A-Rod, Abreu, Matsui, Nady, Giambi, Posada, Cano Emphasis on 'SHOULD' cuz we all know how they end up performing.

Well, yeah, for this year only. Pudge will be a Yankee up until W.S. game 7 if we make it all the way to that point - but that's it. Posada will be our starter in 2009.

You actullay have to make the playoffs to go to the WS though

It's too bad. I always liked Pudge. In fact, baseball is my main sport. I play catcher, and Pudge is who I based my form off of.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
