Team has played like crap after he went down. Coincidence?
.320 hitter with .400+ OBP goes out of the middle of the lineup and you put in Betemit/Molina more often to take his ABs.
Can they right the ship while Matsui is gone, then really turn it on when he returns?
That's a hell of a title, 'The Matsui Effect'--so catchy!

come in tomorrow, don't bother coming in Monday.
Homer Simpson: Woo hoo! A four-day weekend.
No coincidence, he's a great player who was having a great season.
"Owning the Yankees," Steinbrenner once said, "is like owning the Mona Lisa."
Please repair with Barry Bonds effect
including today, they are 5-7 since he last played, and the offense has been pretty weak. hes not the reason for the entire offense, but there is a correlation
Isn't that something by Robert Ludlum?Originally Posted by AcidLake
Well, you don't lose a guy who's hitting at .323/.404/.458 and not show some signs of a sputtering offense. It's really made worse by the fact that nobody else has really jumped up their production to make up the difference.
I agree with this diagnosis.
Add "The Damon Effect" to "The Matsui Effect," and you have "The Ineffectives" ... which is NOT a team of superheroes.
You've got nothing to believe in but believing in yourself.
I think you should add "the Marc effect," because they have been playing like a mediocre ballclub ever since I started watching them again.
Well, nobody asked you to start watching!
Pay me to stop. The Yankees have the money! They can write it off on their business.Well, nobody asked you to start watching!
To be honest, I have no idea who that is. Seriously

To seek the sacred river Alph, To walk the caves of ice
To break my fast on honey dew, And drink the milk of paradise
To be completely honest, I think I'd rather NOT make the playoffs WITHOUT Barry Bonds than make the playoffs WITH him. Sometimes, you've got to "just say no."
I never want to see him play again. And, I sure don't want him adding to his HR total. (A total I'm hoping A-Rod eclipses someday.)
