For one night, Yankee Nation sleeps
The second half of baseball season got under way. It means 12 bad days and 12 sleepless nights for me, the Yankee fan. We play BoSox, Angels and Texas Gunslingers – I mean the Rangers. Tough teams to beat, given the recent shakiness Yanks. Pitching is a mess, and injuries are a mess. We won tonight, barely. The redemption of Jason Giambi continues… I am rooting for him. Everyone including him deserves a second chance. I sleep peacefully. On another note – Athletics’ Rich Harden will be the next Clemens. He rocked. Go As!
It was a good win for the Yanks. Back from the break in hostile territory where some sort of ballpark participation is always part of the game. Moose settled down after the first. Mo overpowered the top of the order in the ninth. The ball was flying out – including off of Giambi’s bat. And A-Rod got the opportunity to pin the L on the latest gimmick – the bobble ankle closer.
it was a good win, but given the pitching problems, how long. it is just amazing to see them in the race these days. amazing with all that money spent on pitching, it is the toughest piece for yanks.
Ouch. This morning hurts.
It makes more sense to buy pitchers on their way to 200 (or 300! wins) then to buy the ones with 200 wins – struggling to get to 225. But the brass does not seem prepared to find those guys.
yes carl… i agree. sleepless night. i knew this was coming nd well lets just hope we can get one win out of this, damn. killer
