A Few Simple Yankee Lessons From tonight


Well, we won.

But let's examine:

1. A-Rod is back to his old tricks. Six strike outs in two World Series games.

2. We have one relief pitcher. One.

3. If Mariano can pitch two innings in each of the remaining games, we have a shot.

4. Pray for rain-outs so he can get the necessary rest.

5. Jeter should not bunt with two on, no one out and two strikes. Particularly after he tried on the previous two pitches to bunt and failed totally.

6. The umpires all hate the Yankees. They will make bad calls to hurt us.

7. A-Rod has stopped hitting. All he can do is strike out now.

8. We only have one relief pitcher.

It isn't enough.

Good night.

  1. All evidence of Jeter's third strike bunt attempt should be gathered and destroyed to protect the youth of the Yankiverse.

  2. Andy and CC will go 8 innings. In Philadelphia.

    And Jeter will never bunt with 2 strikes again. Especially when he's 4 for 7 in the f'ing World Series.

  3. Oh, and the last time the Yanks played on Halloween, it was Tino in the 9th and Jete in the 10th. Mr. November, yo. Money.

  4. You were obviously well lubricated when you made this post, you keep repeating yourself, you crazy old f***. You remind me of my father but he liked smooth Calverts, not that hoidy-toidy Jack Daniels stuff.

  5. At least with Arod striking out he isn't grounding into double plays. I'm looking at you Posada!

  6. Jeter took a risk. What if he made layed down a successful bunt and made it on first? Yankiverse would say how unexpected and how amazing his 2 strike bunt was and how it completely caught everyone off guard.

    Next time though, swing away.
