That's what T-Kep tells us.
"In all, though, Mussina seemed encouraged."
Well, I'm encouraged. In fact, I'm smellin' Wild Card, 'cause the '07 Yanks are back!
1. Mussina gives up 4 in 5!
2. Jason E. Giambi flubs first play, plays another his clubfoot, later muffs foul.
3. Down by 5 in seventh, A-Rod clubs majestic 2-run blast!
4. Farnsworth emerges, inspiring Susyn speach about resurrection, then gives up three bangs -- hard single, smash that A-Rod turns into DP, then a triple off the wall by the speedy Lyle Overbay.
Differences between this year and last?
1. Some Swiss dork is about to turn on the Large Hadron Collider, creating a black hole that will turn all of Earth into the New York Knicks.
2. Britney Spears has emerged, inspiring TV ads about resurrection, on bad TV sitcom.
3. A week after visit from Dick Cheney, the Iraqis invade themselves, expecting to be greeted as liberators.
4. LaTroy Hawkins.
Same old, same old, I say.
ReplyDeleteMussina is now, at best, a number 4 or 5 starter. He will not match up well all year to anyone else's number two ( well, maybe he will ).
3-4 earned runs in 5-6 innings will be his record, if we are lucky.
So Hughes and Kennedy must consistently be better than their opponent pitchers.
The vaunted Yankee line-up is still of little threat against a quality pitcher.
No playoffs this year , boys.
I'm headed down to Southern Mexico to work with Edwar. He is feeling a bit despondent after getting dumped, due to one pitch failure.
You can get AA hitters out with astraight fast ball ( 90-91 ) and a great chang-up. But not in the big leagues.
Particularly, when you can't get it where you want it.
See you in August.
How I Met Your Mother is a great sitcom.
ReplyDeleteNoted that Reggie was chatting up Hank in his private box last nite. Always disconcerting to see the ownership in attendance before Memorial Day. Could be a throwback to George's early years when bodies were swapped early and often.
