Congratulations to Billy Traber for one-hitting the Yankees last night. A couple of things:

1. Traber only threw 102 pitches. Very efficient.


2. With the lineup that Torre put out there, I'm not surprised.

Now, when your table setters go down, it's going to cause a hole in the lineup. But why just stick the two replacements in the 1-2 slots? Wilson led off, and had the worst OBA in the lineup. Zeile batted 2nd, and has the 2nd worst OBA in the lineup. This is managing? He should have led off with Matsui and batted Almonte 2nd. Then, maybe Giambi would have someone to drive in. If I get a chance later, I'd love to see how many early pitches Wilson and Zeile swung at.
