One of the most hideous games of the year will not be remembered as such. The Yankees came from behind to beat the Mets 5-4 on a two run Jason Giambi ninth-inning single. The win was much-needed for the Yankees, but their problems will not be erased by it.
Both teams had shoddy defense, but the Yankees', which has been dreadful all year, imploded again. Robinson Cano booted what should have been an inning-ending ground out, and Jason Giambi couldn't flip the ball to Tom Gordon on another routine play. Both happened after Tony Womack's poorly-traveled field trip in center field on a Chris Woodward double. By the time the inning ended, the Yankees had handed the Mets three runs.
It's no coincidence that Carl Pavano is leading the league in hits allowed. The Yankees could have the worst defense in baseball. Before they can turn it around, they need better options than Womack and Bernie Williams in center and Jason Giambi as a full time first baseman. Sunday's win was nice, but that they almost lost showed more about their team than the win itself.

Tankees wont turn it around until they break the curse of the A-Rod, and that wont happen until another team's owner acts more greedy then Steinbrenner, and that wont happen for a long, long time.
Is there a bigger 'roid-rage moron in sports right now than Gary Sheffield?
How about Barry Bonds?
Barry Bonds can at least keep his hands to himself and his hat on his head.
The Yanks just went 2-5 against the two last-place teams in MLB's eastern divisions. Over the next month, they play Baltimore, Detroit, Boston, Texas, Anaheim, Cleveland and Toronto on the road and Baltimore, Cleveland, Minnesota, Anaheim, the ChiSox and Texas at home. How many of those teams are below .500 today? Zero.
Dropping five of seven to the bottom feeders is gonna start looking like the good old days pretty quick here now.
well, tampa bay is much worse than the mets. if that's of any comfort.
I'm not sure TB is MUCH worse than the Mets. On days Pedro doesn't pitch, it's pretty much a toss.
'Course, I've only watch TB play the Yanks.
I am not sure Bonds can keep his hands to himself, at least not according to his ex-girlfriend. Also, it is easy to keep your hat on when your head is swollen from all the HGH you did!
