Why the Yankees Suck

Ohlendorf on golf

With the Yankees' decision to leave Ron Villone off the post-season roster for this series, the team is left without a single lefthanded pitcher in the bullpen.
You can't blame anyone for not having faith in Ron Villone.
But rookie Ross Ohlendorf, who got the nod instead, isn't going to get it done for you either, at least based on last night's dismal performance.
Not having a lefty in the bullpen, George King of the New York Post pointed out Thursday, leaves the Yankees without a strong situational matchup in key spots against the three big lefthanded hitters in the Indians' lineup (Kenny Lofton, Grady Sizemore and Travis Hafner).
The revenge-seeking former Yankee Lofton had 3 RBI against the bullpen in last night's game, and Hafner hit a solo home run.
