At Least It Wasn’t A Sweep! Reds 5 Yankees 2

Here’s Jack’s “Are you kidding me?” face.

Are the Yankees bad? Right now, yes. Will they be this bad the rest of the season? I highly doubt it. They’ve just hit a rough patch and I am certain they will snap out of it.

Okay, I hope they’ll snap out it.

They’ve lost five out of their last six with Andy Pettitte’s start on Friday being the only win during that span. The pitching staff needs to step up, the hitters need to stop hitting into so many m*****f****** double plays and, actually, I think that’s it.

Raul Ibanez wasn’t signed to be the offense’s savior but so far, he has been. He put the Yanks ahead with a towering two-run shot that gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead that seemed like it would stick with the way CC Sabathia was pitching. And then, it didn’t stick. Sabathia gave up two solo home runs and walked in the go ahead run in the seventh inning.

Blerg.

Johnny Cueto was matching CC inning for inning until the bottom of the sixth when he gave up Ibanez’s homer.

Up next for the Yankees, the always dangerous Kansas City Royals. I mean hell, the Yanks split a series with them earlier this month so you never know what will happen this week.

    you know why ESPN and MLB writers actually have a substantial readership? because they don’t post pictures of their cat.

    also, it’s “two-run” shot. look up compound modifiers in your writing guide, sweetie.

      Since we’re on the subject of writing, you should probably try and capitalize the first letter in your sentences, darling. But thanks for taking 45 minutes out of your day to read, comment, think about and then comment again on my piece. I really appreciate it.

      And Tara, since you’re only in Pomona and are not that far from my house, perhaps you’d like to meet up and we can discuss my writing ability in person.

        To be totally proper, there should also be a “You should” in front of “look up” in the second sentence as well. Tsk-tsk.

        Sure. Just email me a time and place! I’d love to give you some pointers. Maybe we should meet at a Starbucks or something though, since I’d hate to inconvenience your parents. That’s where you live, right? I follow most of the Aerys ladies on Twitter, but your writing stands out as being at the bottom of the barrel.

        Maybe she can show us her blog so we can find out the “right way” to write a sports blog.
