What do you believe to be the biggest issue with the Yankees at this time ? IMO, at this time I think the bats are way too silent. Yes the pitching has been average at best, but if they could score runs early it gives the pitchers a little boost.

	Scoring runs and injuries go hand in hand. With ARod and Posada you have to believe they might have scored few more runs in key situations.

	I think that it is a big problem of to many egos on one team and alot of those guys on that team are getting older now and are past their prime e.g. Giambi.

	oh yeah, and i voted for Pitching...anyone who knows me knows that i firmly believe good pitching = wins...there's no other way around it...if your pitching staff is doing well, there isn't as much pressure to score runs therefore on offense everyone can relax...we haven't been able to relax on offense for a long time because our pitching has been mediocre at best...i hate to say it but it's true!!! we should have gotten Beckett instead of Pavano...we should have traded for Santana...now we're going to pay for it all season long!

	oh come on!!! how come pitching be our greatest problem??? we are losing games we used to win like hose 2-1 or 5-3, thats not pitching fault, we have the strongest lineup in all majors (maybe except Tigers) we just cant score runs and our best clutch hitter is injured (without mentioning posada *the one who calls pitches). For me its a problem of not scoring runs, this may be because of our injured hitters but I dont believe so its some lack of luck, our guys have to get hot and we'll be unbeatable!!!! Go Yankeees!!!!!!!!!!!!!
