A Listless, Miserable Loss Last Night. Rain Today.
Yankee stadium is awash in mud, rain, and concern.
More and more Yankees are injuring themselves while playing catch or gin rummy. Now Pineda has a shoulder muscle under duress. Hmmmm. Related to surgical arm? Carl Pavano anyone?
Is this my prediction coming true? That Pineda will never pitch for the Yankees ( if I am off by only a handful of starts over a career, I am not wrong ).
Nova is gone. Phellps and Nūno as 4th and 5th in the rotation? Three no names ( including Leroux ….the more I read, the more there is no reason to be high on his prospects….) in the bull pen?
Ellsbury ( by far our best player ) with something ” barking ” already.
Soriano a total embarrassment. The one guy whom you don’t want to see hitting in a clutch situation, if you are a Yankee fan. Strike outs, flailing in the dirt. Or hard smacked perfect double play balls. His failures are becoming predictable.
Jerter with no speed and limited range. And behind him a bag of .127 hitters.
Our sand bag walls are decaying and slipping. The call to the national guard has been issued, but we are “on hold.”
Soon, I fear, the flood we have all anticipated.
A few more walls crumble, and the torrent overwhelms.
