I cannot believe Ponson is starting a game Friday. I always root for the guys in pinstripes so I am hoping he proves me and a lot of other fans wrong by going 6 strong innings.
The Yankees are also starting Giese on Friday against the Mets. Wow, that has to be the weakest starting assignments for a doubleheader in a while. Hopefully the Yankees can shock the Mets and get a sweep Friday.
Cano is starting to look better. He hit .294 in May and is now at .295 this month. He is up to .241 for the season. He is not going to hit .325 but he may be able to get up to .280 and have a good 2nd half.
Jeter is also starting to rake the ball. Seeing him in the .270 BA range looked odd.
With Joba developing and Pettitte throwing well in sucks more that Wang is hurt. The Yanks could have a very good rotation if he wasn’t hurt. I am still rooting for Rasner to be a decent #4 guy but his numbers look real bad in June. I do not think Ponson or Giese is the answer at #5. Will they make a trade or give a kid a chance? Kartsens? Aceves? McCutchen? Horne? Igawa again?
On the world news front North Korea seems to be playing nice lately and will come off the state sponsored terrorism list. If only Iran would play nice too. Keep praying for peace everyone. Miracles do happen.
