After being swept by the Detroit Tigers, the Yankees put Chien-Ming Wang on the mound and came away with a 5-1 win. The win, also marked the return of Yes Network Broadcaster Bobby Murcer to the broadcast booth. Murcer underwent a second brain biopsy in March. The biopsy revealed the mass to be only scar tissue. Our best goes out to Bobby for his improving health.
As for the Yankees, I think they still have a long road to recovery, but finally are taking the right medicine.
As predicted Hank has spoken again; however a little more toned down. Hank spoke to the media in Tampa Friday, stating his disappointment with the team’s start.
As to the Yankees' recovery….. see the 2007/2008 comparison:
As you can see the Yankees are in better shape today, with shaky starting pitching and the loss of Posada’s bat then they were this same day last year. And pitching seems to be improving for Mike Mussina, who has struggled a lot this April.
While the Yankees have not recovered yet, Spring Fever appears to be abating and May will tell if the Yankees climb or sink.
The infusion of youngsters, excited and talented youngsters from the minors seems to have given the Yankees the Geritol shot they needed.
Anything can happen from day to day in baseball, and no one can make a solid bet on where a team will land in September. However right now I am taking the Yankees from Critical to Cautionary as improvement has been shown.
