Cabrera, Jeter get key hits as Yanks down Mariners

Brian Bruney didn't do the job as Joe Girardi 's bridge to Mariano Rivera , but the Yankees' offense bailed out all parties last night.

Joba should go back in the pen, jeez

[Bryan]

Whatever happens with personnel, this team cannot and will not win anything with a robotic manager such as Girardi. He has no feel for the game and has predetermined a singular way to approach every game. That cannot work in a season of 162 games with infinite variables. Their record bears that out, particularly against good teams; his decision making (how long do we have to endure Cano in the 5 spot?) is a real weak point. Last night they won in spite of Girardi yet again (get Bruney going BEFORE you put a win on the line, c'mon). I just can't believe in this team with him at the helm.

Bryan is spot on!

Bruney needs his head slapped. All those 0-2 counts and then he throws one down the middle.
