We can't be this bad.....or can we?

After being in attendance for Saturday's Yankee game I needed a few days to recover. Plus I wanted to see how the squad would bounce back. To say I'm disappointed would be a complete understatement. So far this season nothing seems to go right at the same time. Early on we scored a lot of runs but had horrible starting pitching. Then the starters got better and the bullpen was crap. Now the hitting is awful. Poor Andy Pettitte, the guy has 2.51 ERA and a losing record! When do the Yankee turn this thing around? I for one will not throw dirt on the grave just yet. Baseball is a long season and although the AL east is a complete long shot at this point a wild card would be just fine with me. Since I was 15 years old all I know is postseason baseball. I will be damned if I quit on my team now. Till next time your devoted Yankee fan Brother P

The turn around has started

Last night was the first time I can ever remember the Yankees having a "must win" game in May. Yet that was the feeling before the game started. To the delight or relief of almost all Yankee fans Andy was taking the ball for us. As he has done many times before Andy was on his game in the big spot. It certainly didn't hurt that Schilling was bad and the Yankees jumped out to a nice early lead. As a die hard fan I will not concede the AL east to Boston just yet. There is still way to much baseball to be played. If the Yankees can put together a nice 10 game game stretch say 7 out of 10 and Boston one bad 10 game stretch, the lead that is 9 1/2 games could easily be 5. This weekend the Angels come to the Bronx. In past years they have certainly gotten the better of the Yankees. Let's hope for 2 out of 3 before we head to Toronto and possibly witness a Rocket sighting.
