He's been getting beat with his 2nd best pitch since he came a reliever in 2001. This should not come as a suprise to anyone. I told everyone this when the Yankees were romancing him in the offseason. I've watched Farnsworth's entire MLB career since he came up as a starting pitcher with the Cubs in 1999. To say that I am shocked that he has continued this trend would be an understatement.

Nope. Middle of May, school night. Usually, a crowd of around 42,000 tonight.
Late arriving crowd. Will probably be there by the 3rd inning. Traffic is rough out there.
BTW for all of you, I'm trying out different avatars to see which one will stick around for a while. Tell me what you think of them.
Hey Lou...
Love Chacon. Not crazy about the hat, but I love watching Shawn pitch.
Hat drives me nuts :)
We desperately need Chacon to go 6 or 7 innings.
Farns has been getting hit hard by the Rangers and Proctor's arm is going to break off. The last thing we need is a good start to get ruined by Small or Erickson.

Just about. Same thing happened last week against the Red Sox. Most peeps didnt really get there til the 3rd inning.

Yankee limit for giving up runs is 3. If the opposing team scores more than 3 runs, the Yanks are going to have a hard time winning.

Yes there has to be accountability for that run scoring somewhere. If the infielder never touched it then who else can the error go to but the one who threw it? It's a hard error to get but that's baseball!

I dont dispute 6-9 because that is beyond horrible. But you cant put the Yanks lineup and the Royals in the same stratosphere when you have 2 HOFs in their prime in one lineup and none in the other.

Chacon just can't throw strikes. He does this every game now.
Even when he gets out of trouble, he throws so many pitches which means the bullpen is going to get a lot of work, regardless of the score.
As I'm typing this... he gives up a 2 run single. 4-0 Texas.
