...they are just playing with very little life or enthusiasm (except when A-Rod hits a walk-off). Jeter is not a rah-rah kind of leader. What I'd like to see is Damon and Giambi pick up the mantle as vocal, kick you in the

There can be a drawback to having too many buttoned up, professional type players (e.g. Jeter, Pettitte, Posada, Matsui, Rivera, Cano, Abreu) in that sometimes they seem to be playing without passion - I really think the team needs some of that right now.
I hate to admit it but the Sports Guy was right on in his blog yesterday when he wrote:
"where's the fire? Who's kicking over chairs in the clubhouse after a sweep? Who's screaming at Dice from the dugout after his second HBP? It's a soft team. It really is. They might need to triple Kyle Farnsworth's caffeine intake before next weekend."
