Yanks Stay On Losing Streak In Simulated Games

I took a trip down to Tampa to check out how our "futures" team is doing.

Imagine this:

1. Bruney is firing that 96 mph heater in "non-throwing" 8th inning situations against imaginary Minnesota Twin sluggers, Justin Moreau and Joe Mauer.

Dr. Andrews is observing from a split-screen in Birmingham, Alabama.

2. Posada is currently the non-running DH, and is again showing "gap" power against an imaginary Scott Kazmir.

3. Nady is our non-throwing right fielder, practicing to be our right-handed DH against an imaginary Papelbom.

4. Jose Molina is our non-catching, non-squatting backstop, keeping runners close at first with his legendary " snap throws."

5. Melky showed up early this morning to stand in centerfield with his arm in an imaginary sling, waiting the call from Dr. Andrews.

6. Cody Ransom is our non running third baseman, flashing against bunts from an imaginary California Angel second baseman.

7. Andrew Brackman is our imaginary ace, not throwing against a fiesty KC Royals line-up.

8. Eric Duncan is our real second baseman, taking ground balls but having no where to throw them as he tries to justify his status as another Yankee number one pick bust.

9. Luckily, we have no simulated shortstops available.

So far, this simulated team is 1-5 in simulated games ( two of which were shortened by rain).
