Put the Yankees on the grill
The Yankees are starting to cook, and I do not mean in the winning column.
Tough, tough loss last night. The Yankees had multiple chances to score runs early and did not. The fight back and tie it and then Mo loses it in the 9th. How many tough loses have the Yankees had this year????
The Yankees need to beat the teams they are supposed to (Royals, etc.) and win lots of games this month. They needed a sweep this weekend to set the tone.
If the Yankees keep playing like this, by the end of August, you can stick a fork in the Yankees because they will be done.
I like what they did with Melky. He needs consistent at bats and was not going to get them in a pennant race. He is still very young and has the tools to become a very good CF. Gardner has the possibility to be a nice spark and he gets the experience to possibly take over the job in 2009.
Sexson was a role of the dice and he did not work out. Ransom is another role of the dice and probably spells a lessening role for Betemit which is a good thing.
I do not want to hear anything about next year from anyone. The Yankees can still go 31-9 the rest of the way.
Believe.
