I guess one little team like ours doesn't amount to a hill of beans as the world financial markets tumble around us.
But just to say: here is where the Yanks get exposed.
Three games in the cold, in a pitcher's park, against three big, young hurlers.
The Tigers are starting one Casey Mize (1-0 this year, with 5 2/3 scoreless innings; barely pitched since 2021, so he will be a mystery to us), the Great Skubal (Good Lord), and Jack Flaherty, the guy who pretty much shut us down in one World Series start last year, but not so much the other.
Which gives us a chance, as we are starting Fried against Flaherty.
But for the other two starts...Los Dos Carlos. Uh-oh.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
The rest of the AL might not seem like much now, but they understand what Brian Cashman does not: you rebuild a team around pitching.
Oh, and expect at least two dingers from The Gleyber.

Sweet Jesus - - - IS THAT A DARKROOM?
I was with you until that last sentence. Not The Gleyber…I’ll suffer any indignity but The Gleyber doing a home run trot not once, but TWICED!
Gleyber isn't playing. I believe he's hurt. Or he believes he's hurt. Either way. No Gleyber Day today.
Do you have emergency numbers clearly posted nearby for when Gleyber hits his third....?
Now that Gleyber is playing for former cheat-stro A.J. Hinch, I certainly expect him to get his act together. Though I heard that he's not off to a good start. Haven't checked, don't particularly care, just what I heard.
His ribs hurt.....
Small sample size so far, obviously, but Yanks get shut down whenever they run into a good pitcher, or even a lousy pitcher who has a good day. Yesterday was a bad loss. Gotta move that ghost runner and get him in, by hook or by crook.
Awwwww, poor bay bee! Did he get one of Viscount Victoria's leg scissors specials?
Tough to do when almost every hitter is digging in and swinging for the fences, or in Chisolm’s case, just swinging at anything.
Oh man, my haiku on the Vlad post is gone. I'm going to meditate on that and get back to you all in a while.
what? huh?
Why did Cashman send Headrick to Scranton and re-sign Ottavino? He's already been in 4 games. He has given up no runs and one hit while striking out nine in 5⅓ innings.
huh? what?
Carl, it's part of our long-established policy to completely discourage any and all young players. In fact, I believe the famous Stadium signs with quotes from Joe DiMaggio and Douglas MacArthur have been replaced with one saying, "Abandon all hope of entering here."
Yeah, what? Ottavino got DFAed the other day.
The Gleyber is actually hitting .429, with a home run, a stolen base, and a 1.357 OPS. Zowee! Unfortunately, he has only played 2 games and amassed 7 at-bats.
I think maybe he's trying to keep those numbers so fine.
Rice picked off - Rodent in full season form - Could it get any better?
What? Huh? We all say
But we know the real score
Cash and Boone both suck
Rodenticide is called for.
What a shit show.
Grisham continues to mash, says Big Head Kay.
abate the bugger
Ro-dent, Ro-dent, Ro-dent
And the one thing we know for certain about The Intern, he don’t know bumpkis about pitching.
Lousy game. P. U.
Prepare for the same tomorrow, only with more dominance from Skubal.
Tomorrow's Haiku
is in the oven and its
baking up nicely
The Yankees Lose
Got home just in time for the last out. And I thought my afternoon at work was bad…this team is nothing if not predictable.
