Nothing like getting blown out by the Orioles at Camden Yards, a place where the Yankees supposedly dominate.

The line for Phil Hughes isn’t very telling because he was a lot better than the boxscore will indicate. He pitched great for five innings, was given no run support, and no defensive help and for that he gets tagged with his third loss in four starts this season.

What a waste of money LaTroy Hawkins was, huh? I don’t care if the guy had pitched seven prior scoreless innings or 77, he is flat out awful and there is no place for him on this team, considering we already have his mirror image in Kyle Farnsworth.

A-Rod and Jason Giambi better figure out fast how they are going to drive in runners in scoring position and Johnny Damon needs to figure out how the hell he is going to get on base as the leadoff man and have an average higher than the Mendoza Line.

Meanwhile the Yankees are back to .500, their favorite place to be. Something needs to change with this lineup and it needs to change very quickly. Word is that Jorge Posada will be at first tonight and Jose Molina will catch, that is all fine and dandy, but there needs to be a switch with the leadoff spot very soon if Johnny Damon is going to continue to be an easy out at the top of the order.
