  1. Didn't think I could love Palmer more but apparently I was wrong! Headed over to Twitter for a follow now.....
  2. Well hopefully the dummy Dodgers don't bail out the Yanks from their misguided spending the way they did the BoSox...still can't believe LA took on those contracts, just to get AGon. Criminy. As for the Yanks this year, their pitching is just not great, and they are pretty banged up. Certainly not the juggernaut we are used to seeing, by any means. You could argue that the ChiSox have a more dangerous lineup than the Yankees right now, w/ Texeira out. Or maybe even with him in. Still very dangerous though. BTW heard on a radio program this morning that the Yankees were in trouble w/ Tex out, and 'the Rays and Yanks deadlocked in that division'. Conveniently no mention of the team that actually IS in 2nd place as of today, and plays them this weekend. So tired of that.... I think it was Mad Dog Radio on Sirius that I heard this.
  3. Buck needs to get Johnson on the field in June a good bit, with the other pieces we are missing, even a drop off from his May OPS will still be helpful. He needs to be DHing nearly every game for the next few weeks....
  4. I'm trying really hard but it's hard to stay optimistic right now; when you start thinking of some of the SP struggles, the OF we are looking at for the next several weeks, Wieters' horrific slump at the plate, and the continued trouble on the corners, it's hard to have a positive outlook on June and the rest of the summer. Hopefully the guys in the rotation step it up - Arrietta to get better, Britton to come back strong, Matusz to continue to improve, and Chen/Hammel to not regress. It's really our only hope, because offense is going to be ugly for a while, it would appear. W/O a better showing by the rotation, the summary states for June won't be pretty.... Anyone who wants to point me towards the section of the board where the optimists hang out, please feel free.
