I stand corrected. No more experimenting with unknown pitchers at the big league level. After all, we are the New York Yankees.

Since the trade deadline just passed, I wonder if we could get a box of balls for Mitre?

Is he still impressive?

Cashman should just DFA this guy and take him out of his misery. That way Girardi CAN'T start this guy again. This is an insult to our Triple A and Double A pitchers. The guy got busted for a bad drug test, missed 50 games, so they promote him to the big time. What's wrong with this picture?
The New Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees, a team that was stuck on 26 WS Championships. 2009 was the year we won World Series #27.
There, fixed it for you.
"Stay thirsty, my friends"
please tell me we are dfa'n him tomorrow or tonight?
I don't think they can just DFA him because they have no one to replace him with.
Win one for The Boss.
Mitre will turn it around soon...

Either get bombed or keep the game close. Sergio Mitre is no world beater.

I wouldn't say that around Cashman, if I were you.
"Stay thirsty, my friends"
Well, Brian Cashman and I have different opinions.
We agree to disagree.

What possible reason do you have for thinking this? I don't think he's ever demonstrated proficiency at the Major League level, and he was a PED guy to boot. Yikes. Get this man off my Yankees.
Watching games like this really shows the caliber of fan you are. If you can sit through this game, you are a die-hard believer. I think most people that would call themselves Yankee fans are turning off their TVs / MLB.tv for this debacle. Games like this give me a cold, horrible feeling in my stomach.

Here's the question, how do you send him to the mound against the Red Sox next week?
Here's the answer: you don't.

If we had ham, we could have ham and eggs--if we had eggs.
I swear, if don't rearrange the rotation...

I don't. Sergio Mitre is an adventure on the mound.

This is why you HAD to make a deal for someone. Starting Sergio Mitre down the stretch can cost you the playoffs.

Exactly, it didn't have to be a world beater. We're pretty much putting a human white flag out there every 5th day.

He's gonna be starting.

I have no reason to believe that a savvy GM like Cashman would even contemplate starting Sergio Mitre down the stretch run.
He's had three starts already...
Win one for The Boss.
Yup, and part of the problem is the Yankees have no one to replace him, but honestly I'd try to catch lightening in a bottle with someone else, anyone else at this point.
"We understand that John Henry must be embarrassed, frustrated and disappointed by his failure in this transaction. Unlike the Yankees, he chose not to go the extra distance for his fans in Boston."
Wang has been a serious injury question for a month now, he had plenty of time to remedy the situation.

Never thought I'd say this, but Igawa is a better option.
Maybe Cashman does not think we are in the stretch run yet.
It is frustrating to watch the likes of Sergio Mitre starting games for NYY. I hope he does not start against the Red Sox next week.
Never thought I would say this.... I agree.
Speak softly but carry a big stick.
This Guy Sucks. 3 Innings 5 Runs. Get Out Of My Organization
He needs more time.
7.90 ERA. The experiment is over, and if it isn't, God help us all.
No doubt, this guy can't remain our #5 if we want to be in the playoffs.
He needs more time? How much time? He actually needs to go.
Girardi in the YES postgame: "He's gonna pitch for us. He had a bad start, he just didn't have his good stuff tonight. He's gonna pitch for us."
He never ever admits to anything, he always has an excuse for all his players. Bad this, bad that. Mitre sucks, end of story. 5IP, 3ER is the best you can get out of him.
Girardi must be a glutton for punishment. Every Mitre start will be his form of S&M.
We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.
It is never too late to be what you might have been.
On the post game Pete Abraham mentioned that Mitre was giving up two hits per inning and Joe said something like "right now we don't have any other options".
I noticed Zach Kroenke came out of the pen to make a 4-inning start for Scranton a few days ago ... I know they've been short of starters so that might be why, but is it possible he's next on the firing line?
It's REALLY thin down there.
Stop blaming Mitre. He knows he stinks, we know he stinks. It's the fault of the people who put him in this situation. I just can't fathom that the Yankees have no other options for SP, and didn't make any moves at the deadline.
CAGE KT!!!!!!
Phil to the starting rotation, please.....
And then we have less of a bullpen.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Awful deadline job by Cash.
CAGE KT!!!!!!
That was when they turned their only two pieces of starting depth (for a rotation featuring a disaster in Wang, an old Pettitte, and an IP limited Joba) into relievers in the first place.
That's why they're in this situation with Mitre and, inevitably, Igawa starting for them now.
Who was he supposed to get? Washburn for A-Jax?
Stellar start, I'll tell you what. Keep running him out there, we don't need to win every 5th day anyway, that's asking too much. Sindey Ponson, 2009 version. Good job Cashman. Let Ransom ................ing pitch.
Javy Vazquez's 2010 non-Cy Young season: 4-10, 7.15 ERA, 140 Ks, 170 IP.
Boston got an all star player for peanuts. The Tigers got Washburn for pennies on the dollar. The Phillies got Cliff Lee. The only way cashman can get players is to write checks. Period.
Yeah, why not? You mean Austin Jackson, the right-handed version of Brett Gardner who strikes out much, much more, has only topped out at .307 so far in the minors and hasn't shown much power? 91 strikeouts and 34 walks (almost 3 Ks for every walk) so far this year and a .795 OPS at AAA? Yeah, I'd give that one a shot. After all, outfielders like that are almost impossible to find.
If the Mariners wanted to make that deal, I would have driven Jackson to the airport myself.

I would also agree with this. I doubt the proposal for a Washburn deal solely included Austin Jackson and maybe a bag of balls. Given past history as an indicator, it's likely when Cashman made the call, The M's probably asked for Jackson, Hughes, Chamberlain and Cervelli.
