Alright Yankee fans, stop applauding the Yankee position in the AL East and start looking at pitching. While there has been a slight improvement in pitching, that improvement is from a grade of C- to a C. C pitching won't get you to the big show in the Fall.
Don't believe Me Observe the grades for the regular Yankee Starters. Pitiful!!!
The only thing I like about interleague is the Yankees-Mets and Cubs-White Soxs series. The rest of Interleague could be cut for all I care. What makes those games interesting, cross town rivalries.
As for Interleague, I predict highs and lows. The NY Mets actually have a decent team compromised by bouts of illness and injuries. Last year they had the Yankees number, and this year this year they could do the same. The Yankees also play the Atlanta Braves, another team that will give them trouble. Fortunately to balance this off the Yanks face the Nats and the Marlins.
No back to the the Yankees inability to beat Boston.......
I want all of the Red Soxs tesetd for HCG, and yes their is a blood test. I doubt the Red Soxs are stupid enough to be on steroids, then again they are a team know for their idiots; but all that Red Sox bulky power did not come from the weight room. Come on guys roll up your sleeves and fill the marble top tube.
Why do I thin the Soxs are on drugs? I am not a sore loser, I am just a careful observer. The Soxs have bulked up, that bulking is stopping the Yankees from garnering one win in 8 games. Statistically for the Yankees this is not probable. Time to drug test Boston.
While the season is more than a 1/3rd over, for all intents Boston is on its way to be the clear American League East winner. Why, because the Yankees can't beat them.
Boston is 20-8 in the East, 10-4 in the Central and 5-10 in the West. The Yankees are 12-16 in the East, 13-5 in the Central and 8-3 in the West. Do the math, if the Yankees don't start beating Boston, they will again start vacation in 104 games.
I've been quiet lately, I was busy and the Bombers weren't really worth talking about. Yes they won and A-Rod was back, but look back at the wins. Not much to get excited about.
The Yankees who have been playing .660 ball the last 3 weeks are facing the acid test, the Boston Red Soxs. So far they are failing the test. Last night shut out 7-0 and tonight they working toward another loss.
The Red Soxs, the rival, the nemesis, have the Yankees number so far this year. The Yankees if they continue are down 6-3 in the 6th and on their way to loss # 7 this year out of GAD, 7 games played.
So explain those Yankee wins away, right. Wrong The Yankees played AA teams disguised as Major League Clubs. Of the Twins, Indians, O's Rays, Jays and Rangers we have this:
Twins - pitching mediocre due to loss of star talent in Off season, Mauer can't bat the team to victory
Indians - MLB Team with pitching staff on life support due to injuries and infectious disease.
Orioles - Can't bat as well as the Yankee......yet
Rays - Yankees saw their lesser pitchers who are no use to pitching in rain.
Jays - It's still Hockey season, it's hard to play to an empty house.
Rangers - Not back on roids...yet
The only hopefully win the Yankees managed was against the Phillies, the hope of a team improving.
It's now the top of the 7th and the Yankees have closed to 6-5. Phil Hughes is pitching and if he continues we could pull out a win. I am hopeful because Hughes can go long and Boston is out of solid relief except for Papelbon. IF stupidity does not descend on Joe G and his staff I could go to sleep a happy lady.
