    More surprised that he slapped gloves with McCann after the last pitch. He's obviously not babying it either. Tough guy.

    ...tempered enthusiasm, especially based on 3 games.

    ...On one hand, the Yanx are on target to hit 380 HRs with a team BA of 3.14 and a team OPS of .962 ...that won't last long...on the other hand, I surely expect the team ERA of 4.33 to improve somewhat. (conversely, Houston's has a team ERA 9.36 after just 3 games, which needless to say, will also greatly improve)


    ...again, a 3 game sample doesn't really tell us much.

    Thank goodness for a voice of reason....I was almost convinced the Yanks were going to hit 380 HRs this year and Houston was going to finish with a 9.36 ERA....whew, glad we were all brought back to earth by the voice of reason.

    Like Joe Pesci's character in My Cousin Vinny said. I'm enjoying myself so far.

    I was wondering why someone was responding TODAY to a game that was played TWO days ago.

    ...^^^some things are so obvious that they don't really need explaining.

    Yep - and for some strange reason, you seem to consistently lean towards the negative....re: the Yanks - CASHMAN.

    Dig yourself man - and stop trying to defend a position where CASHMAN and THE STEINS are always wrong.

    New season, and the last time I checked the Yanks (with the 4th best 2015 record in this league) are trying to improve on a season where they lost the (1) WC playoff game to a team which won LESS games than they did....thanks to Keuchel who had a career year and also quirkily stymied the Yanks allowing (1?) ER in #3 reg season starts.
    Yanks took 4/7 and 4/6 LAST YEAR from the two 2015 WS teams AND HAVE JUST TOOK 2/3 from HOUSTON THIS YEAR...
    Lol

    My opinion, the 2016 YANKS will be just as competitive for a ticket to the WS tournament as ANY team and IN MY OPINION Yankee fans, or any OTHER fans just don't need any sour grapes during the first week of this season.

    Last but not least, speaking as a long time Yankee fan-
    ..... fuk the Dodgers and Giants!

    ...no goddamnit...you go straight to your room.

    ...evidently if/when the Yanx are eliminated and no longer in the WS sweepstakes we're supposed to stop watching Baseball completely, bury our heads in the sand and simply wait for the next season. Nobody tells me what player or team I can appreciate or when I may do so.

    Nope, I never said as much - please enjoy yourself * and I also watch other MLB teams regular season and postseason.
    And of course I know you'll agree with my right to fuk "da bums" and the SF Giants.

    ...^^^ uhhh, yes, actually you did...after Rick, who is also a fan of the Giants, noted that MadBum had smacked a HR, you felt the need to post this;


    "By the way- this Yankee fan doesn't give a rat's ass about a Baumgarter - Kershaw matchup.
    Sorry but....April 9th baseball has me focused of MY Yankees.

    I only have ONE TEAM!

    GO YANKS!"


    ...now, as per usual, try to spin it another way or back track and then claim that you didn't really mean what you really said.
