Yankee Bats Remain Hot as Joba Rolls

What team is this? Yankee bats pound Detroit pitching for second straight game.

Joba being Joba. 7 dominant innings will shut up the morons for at least 5 days.

Time to panic; Mariano serves up another bomb!

Nick Swisher is doing his best Mickey Mantle impersonation.
Homers from both sides of the plate.

Meanwhile in the 3 hole... Marky Pop Up can't buy a hit.

Pettitte Comes Up Small in Beantown

Welcome to the Yankees, A.J.

A.J. Finally has his "Yankees Moment"
Blows a 6 run lead and serves up 8 runs in 5 innings at Fenway.

The Yanks called up prize prospect and heir to Mariano, Mark Melancon, so he can sit in the 'pen and watch Veras, Albaladejo, Marte, and Robinson give up 8 runs.

The Yankees again prove they are no match for baseball's model franchise.

Win 3 in a row, lose 2 in a row. Is it still 2008?

I'm Back...With a New Format for 2009

Well, I've ignored this thing for too long. Last year's gutless effort by the Yankees really turned me off to this. Why waste my time writing about these overpaid slugs? Well, I've toyed with the idea of starting this again ever since Pitchers & Catchers reported, but I just haven't been able to find the time to start it again.

Until today.

Now, I'm too lazy and really no longer have the time to write long and thought out posts like I previously tried to do. So I'm going to keep it simple from now on. Just post a few quick thoughts on the game. In other words, I'm totally biting off Boston Dirt Dogs. Enjoy.
