Tonight there will be no aces.
Royals are on a win streak, swept the Rangers in a two game series.
We're 15-20 right now and considering we had a 12-game home losing streak I think the record looks pretty good. We'd be well over .500 without some of those silly losses.
Well I think we all do And trust me, even here in the core of Yankees land you'll be hard pressed to find anyone who truly likes A rod. Especially in recent years where he's been a bigger waste of money than any government program 2007 sure does feel ages ago now...pretty much since then he's never been the same. He at least was a good player then.

If the Rangers stay healthy I really have no idea how any team could beat them in a 5 or 7 game series. They are managing to make a rather dull game (let's be honest with ourselves here) quite fun to watch. Haven't had this much fun watching baseball since Aaron Boone crushed Boston's soul in 03'. Not that anything going on today could ever top that joyous night but since my beloved Yankees brought A-Rod on board, the year following Boone's blast, things just aren't that same. I miss Bernie Williams, Paul O'Neill, and Mike Stanton.
oh man...cmon you gotta try harder than that. You're just getting lazy now.
edit: Well pretty good game considering. Did a great job with his pitch count and had great control, Pettitte was just very cautious...for the first outing can't complain though. We'll see how the season goes.
Well I've really not been optimistic since, well 09 People always scoff at me when I say sh*t like "its not really a team" but I'm always, sadly, proven right playoff time when all these superstars crash and burn :(
Pitching is indeed an issue, but still plenty of season to go. CC will be our ace as always, unless he decide to get even fatter and lose his skill again I like Nova, hopefully Hughes will stay strong, who the hell knows with Pettitte. I'm still out on Kuroda, doesn't seem too bad.
Still too early but I can have optimism for the pitching, we'll have either 2-5 good pitchers Really I'm all about the post season and will the team actually step up or not.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm Josh Hamilton, I think I may have the heard the name once or twice. Just a guess

^My concern, come playoff time, is still pitching. If Texas stays healthy and/or Detroit's hitters start clicking either looks like they could just clobber their way past NY. Then, of course, there's Tampa which looks like it might have the best top-to-bottom pitching staff of the playoff teams (don't think the Angels will be making it). The Yanks strength was the bullpen and that was blown up shagging fly balls so I'm not too optimistic, right now.
Also, has anyone else noticed that Josh Hamilton is a beast?
Great game today, Phil Hughes really shut down the Mariners (OK they're a bit anemic I know but still a good game) and Jeter keeps on hitting. One helluva year thus far for the old captain. Jeter, Cano and the Grandy Man are really producing thus far. BTW thanks Scott for Granderson
Excited and nervous for Pettitte's debut tomorrow.
Well I remember a game or two during his time with the Marlins and Sahx he was pretty good... wait I think that was a few years, guess it's always a case of what have ya done for me lately?? Such a capitalist thing to do Roy you pigdog

BTW Red Sox are gonna suck this year. Since when were Buchholtz and Beckett reliable pitchers, plus the new kid and the converted reliever? Our Bullpen seems wiped. Our offense is going to be lackluster too. I've simply no 'opes, for 'em.
I may be wrong but wasn't that faked we found out? edit: Maybe I'm dumb...why would his ankle be bloody anyway??
Yeah Scott it's gunna suck having to actually ordeal through saves...but like I said Mo has declined a bit. He's human now. Not like a few years back when you could nap through it be assured of a save. All seriousness what can ya do?
Bases loaded before getting out of it on Tuesday. Bases loaded with nobody out and then blowing the save last night. Welcome to our world. Bwahahahahahahaha.
Yes yes yes I'll let you have your fun. Seriously, eventually the era needed to come to an end. I hope most Yankee fans will be grateful for what we had, and understanding that no one will be Mo.
(I still say the "classic" Mo era already ended...instead of being inhuman he was just a very good one, but whatever)
We'll see if Robertson can transition from 8th to 9th inning. I hope so, he was brilliant as a set up man.
