Yanks have the lowest ERA In the division, tied for 2nd in HRs with only Baltimore having more HRs within the division. Two games out of first place. Such is the situation when we bitched and moaned after FIVE games. Kumbaya!
...loling @ cherry picking to make things seem rosier.............after 6 games (all at home), the Yanx are 2-4.
I'll take the ERA, but how much of that was helped out by the 19 inning game? Also, who cares how many home runs are hit? If you depend on the long ball, you're going to have a rough season...
When I created the thread "Through 5" I had not intended to do it after every game. And I certainly wouldn't have been the opportunist to do it after scoring 14 runs knowing that this ONE game would change & pad the statistics drastically & make all things look a little better. Something tells me that you would not gave created this thread if the Yankees won 3-2 or 2-1 on 4 or 5 hits. Real cute,
^^^ yup, the ERA was skewed by the 19 inning game just as the HR total was skewed by last night's game. .
Well, I chose to give a post-first week wrap up. You guys are funny, I know you picked the Yanks for mediocrity and are kinda not thrilled with hearing good things......but how about a little less sour puss, and a little more ....KUMBAYA!
After 6 games Yanks two games out first place. Ceetainly not ideal, but not insurmountable after the first week. But I have a feeling you already know this. Baby steps......baby steps.
Stop with the bullshit, you're an opportunist & you do it all the time. EXAMPLE: Beltran is currently hitting 167 (4 for 24) over his first 6 games but if he has a 4-4 game tonight his average jumps to around 285. At which point you'd take the opportunity to boast "Why are you guys complaining? he's hitting 285" Give it a rest.
Reality is the Yanks could have and should have won that series 2-1. They needed a single timely hit Friday night and couldn't get it, very frustrating. Let's hope last night woke some bats up and they can take some momentum with them. Pitching has been good and the defense has been oddly horrendous. Opening up the season with 3 series within the division is tough. I'm staying cautiously bullish on this team. Big Mike on the mound tonight!
You give it a rest......if the Yankees were 0-6 with 0 HRs and 12 total runs scored after the first 6 games I would be bashing them as well as any other. My advice to you- stop trying to read my mind AND TAKE MY POSTS for WHAT THEY SAY, and not what you or any of your palsies try and inject.
You can stick a flower onto someone's asshole but it still doesn't make it a vase. Like I said, you're an opportunist.
No you wouldn't you wait until they had the one big blowout game like last night padding there earlier pathetic 6 game stats & then scream about how "NOT TO BAD" they're doing.
And you act like a newbie baseball fan jumping to negative conclusions thinking you have some ownership on insights and specializing in saying "me too" afraid to voice an opinion which doesn't jibe with the general majority of this particular board. I'm an "opportunist"? Then why was I the only one here who said I believe the Yanks will win "APPROX" 90 games and took a good amount of heat because of it? And then I see this petty bullish!t asking what does "APPROX" mean? Someone had the nerve to say I said the Yankees would win 92 games. He actually attached an exact number! Cheap shots galore, I also said, BEFORE the seaaon began, I think this team will score considerably more runs as compared to last year's debacle which would be very significant in competing for a playoff spot - if the "usual suspects" get their share of ABs. So I then hear some more horsesh!t along the lines of: "if I played the right numbers I would win the lottery". Well, "ifs" and possibilities are always a part of ALL team's equations. Will Hanley be a circus act in LF for Boston? Will HE and Pedroia stay healthy? What "if" Reyes pulls up lame again for Toronto?....,and they have two 20 year olds closing games in the bullpen....and some of you were dumb enough to question a veteran Miller after his outstanding effectiveness the past couple of seasons? Smarten up and show some respect......I'm watching this game long enough.
Before you hijack ANOTHER thread with your same old tired bullshit I'll play your game, see post #16 & lie tell me that that's not your style.
You called me an "opportunist", and I responded in kind. "Then why was I the only one here who said I believe the Yanks will win "APPROX" 90 games"? Maybe I should join the majority and start wringing my hands and whinning after 5 games......or better yet, maybe I should've done so BEFORE the season began. That was a popular thing to do....remember? Lmao. Uhhhh......lmao And just to clear things up: "approximately" ➡nearly exact; not perfectly accurate or exact. Sorry I didn't use AN EXACT NUMBER....? now how about you?
