I'll go with 13 wins as well. I'm hoping for a teardown this year, but then again the Yanks has so many terrible contracts that it probably wouldn't happen.
3 v CLE (1-2) 3 @ TBR (0-3) 3 v OAK (1-2) The guys we traded get the two wins! 4 v TBR (1-3) 4 @ TOR (1-3) 3 @ CIN (2-1) 3 v BAL (1-2) 3 v SDP (1-2) 3 @ SEA (1-2)
For May, I'll go with 17-12. The bullpen isn't fully toasted yet (though Bazooka Joe is apparently being "advised" to set it aflame ASAP) so there might be another month of decent pitching. And this lineup is so cruddy that anyone temporarily above suck level might be able to get some energy flowing. But mostly I say 17 because the Yankees are the perfect team to raise hopes with a surge in May...and then crush those hopes in June. It'll be interesting to listen to.
I'll say 13 games as well, just enough to lose, but not enough losses to truly shake things up,,,, typical Yankees. Though I can also see a complete freewill with this lineup!
Loaisiga is the kind of pitcher that smart teams trade while they still have value. His career has been plagued by more surgeries than the late Michael Jackson. Cashman just doesn't have it in him to make a move that may blow-up and make him look foolish. Not a great attribute for a GM.
Every move he makes blows up in his face and makes him look foolish. The ones he doesn't make blow up in his face and make him look foolish. The man should not be running a major league baseball team.
I had to leave to pick up my daughter just when Boonehead was coming out to get German. Felt a cold chill because, well, Boonehead. We got home 10 minutes ago.
2)We can remind ourselves that not a single Yankee even knows of our existence,
3)We have two infielders and a washout starting in the OF,
4)We can fondly remember that there was only one Mariano.
and Hal, and ASSman---like the Bible says, you reap what you sow. Fuck you both for destroying the one lifetime love of mine from the 1962 WS on. Can I get an Amen?
One more little tidbit curtesy of RAB, this is the first time the Yanks have been 8 games out on 5/1 since 1984!! That was the year the Tigers went 35-5 from the gate. Tell ASSMan that he is in rare territory now.

ReplyDeleteWe are a below .500 team, so I say 10 wins maximum for the month of May.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with 13 wins as well. I'm hoping for a teardown this year, but then again the Yanks has so many terrible contracts that it probably wouldn't happen.

In case you want to rethink
ReplyDeleteLoaisiga to have bone spur on elbow removed. Out until Aug-Sept
Trivino heading towards TJ. Surgery, would be out until 2025.
Judge scheduled to take BP tonight.

ReplyDelete5 wins in May, says I.

ReplyDeleteBoone, the shaved ape, puts Holmes is in who blows the save.
ReplyDeleteElementary.
Holmes is an arsonist who just flushed German's terrific effort. Why is he "the closer"?
ReplyDeleteThey keep getting worse and worse and worse
The Yankees only scored two runs anyway but German took a shutout into the ninth.
Unbelievable. Actually, all too believable.
Kiss this one goodbye
ReplyDeleteUn. Fucking. Believable
ReplyDelete88 fucking pitches for German, and he’s out.
If I had a dollar for every Yankee fan who said to themselves “Oh, shit” when Holmes trotted in, I bet I could retire. But Boone is clueless.
Oh, and after watching this debacle I’m going 9-20 for May.
ReplyDelete……aaaaand Hicks strikes out to end the game. PERFECT!
ReplyDeleteGet shellacked on Texas, lose by double digits in last game. Who thought it could get worse?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletea fitting end to a shit loss
2 hours, 6 minutes. At least it was a brisk collapse.
ReplyDeletePublius, with all due respect--- almost everyone here thought it could get worse, and we still think so.
ReplyDeleteTru enough. But this one. My god. We're beyond pathetic, even beyond absurd. This is grotesque.
ReplyDeleteA Cashman-constructed bullpen. Johnny Wad Holmes abd Magic Wandy Peralta.
ReplyDeleteWith Judge on the DL, I'm going with 4. Complete collapse.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteI had to leave to pick up my daughter just when Boonehead was coming out to get German. Felt a cold chill because, well, Boonehead. We got home 10 minutes ago.
Count yourself lucky, Mildrerd.
ReplyDelete9-22. Cashman blames the long haired bat boy and fires him.
ReplyDeleteMAYDAY MAYDAY Yanks now in the cellar.
ReplyDeleteI want to lower mine to 8 wins, actually maybe 7
ReplyDeleteJust remember folks,
ReplyDelete1) It's just a game,
2)We can remind ourselves that not a single Yankee even knows of our existence,
3)We have two infielders and a washout starting in the OF,
4)We can fondly remember that there was only one Mariano.
and Hal, and ASSman---like the Bible says, you reap what you sow.
Fuck you both for destroying the one lifetime love of mine from the 1962 WS on.
Can I get an Amen?
One more little tidbit curtesy of RAB, this is the first time the Yanks have been 8 games out on 5/1 since 1984!!
ReplyDeleteThat was the year the Tigers went 35-5 from the gate.
Tell ASSMan that he is in rare territory now.
Cashman knows who we are, Angel. That little shit googles himself constantly. Count on it.
ReplyDelete12-17
ReplyDelete@ The Archangel, Amen!
ReplyDeleteAmen, Archie!
ReplyDeleteWho says we're going to win any games in May?
