Having reached the point in the season where last year the Yankees suddenly rallied and started playing well, the Yankees said yesterday it's time to PLA BALL.
The rest of the league has gone and done it. They have pissed us off. Well, from now on, we're going to actually try to win.

All right, that did it, Yankees tell league. NOW we'll start trying

Wow, it should be very exciting to watch the Yankees from here on in!
I'm getting more pissed off everyday. I sub'd to MLB.tv but can't bring myself to watch anymore of their games. I can pretty much tell you what is going to happen in advance with each batter. I had a hint of excitement yesterday in the 9th only to be crushed and receive the expected.
It is a lost decade
Can we mount a campaign to stop Yankee announcers, reporters and any other hangers-on from saying CC Sabathia is the 'Yankees' ace'?
A guy who routinely gives up 4 or 5 runs in a game, even if he eats up innings and more fried food than you or I will ever see in our lifetime, is not an ace. He is a good #2 pitcher. He has some nice streaks, and can be great on occasion. But he is not an ace. Not a Yankee ace, not anybody's ace. He would never have won so many games the past couple of years if the Yankees didn't score a bazillion runs just as routinely as he coughs it up. Now, they're not scoring, and if this keeps up, you'll see that W-L record sink to a level befitting his ERA.
Richtoffen was an ace. Doolittle was an ace. Verlander and Darvish are aces. CC is a fat guy who looks like he's wearing a clown suit with that disgrace of a uniform he sports. He is not an ace.
Alphonso, how are things going in the Dirt League? Any hot prospects the Yanks can sign and then trade for weak-armed hurlers just as they're beginning to show their potential? And are you able to walk into your local watering hole and simply ask for "el usual" by now?
Dear Bye,
I am unable to post content from here because there is no wifi, and only rusted tel-lines from the Franco- Mexican war days. I have to shinny up the pole to steal juice, even for this. And I am not exactly firefighter fit to begin with.
Our best prospect is a 16 year old lefty with a limp. He is already 6'4" and throws in the low 90's. The manager, who is loaded more often than I ( not easily done ) has a pitch count on him of 14 - 134, depending on what he is drinking when the game starts.
But he is 6-1 and our team averages about 1.4 rpg for him. I wrote Cashman to send a scout, but I got a form letter back from some drone.
My best advice: get your butt down here, forget the Yankees for a decade, and just party.
The Milagro beans are great.
