Game Thread Wednesday 6/08/16 Yankees vs. Angels 7:05PM

Good to see the new names & faces, now lets see this team start slapping around the Eastern Division Teams like they have the Angels and it may be possible to start believing in the franchise again.

 

...^^^ amen ... ^^^

 

Yup, good to have hungry young players
But it also helps when Ellsbury is healthy and on his game, Gardner no longer batting .220, subtracting a .180 hitter (Tex) striking out every 3.4 ABs with a .263 SLG% and Beltran healthy producing like he did in his last full season.

Yanks skating on thin ice, could be one bad losing streak from reaching the point of no return, they absolutely have to fatten up on the weaker teams and BETTER figure out a way to start taking series from Bos, Balt and Toronto. Yanks 6-15 this year vs those teams, gulp, I guess that kinda tells the story.
I'm almost ready to write off Toronto who have owned the Yanks since last August 16-6, this year 7-2.

 

^^^ exactly, Weaver's lifetime ERA in YS is in the high 8.XX, closer to 9.00 than 8-. Never was what he was made out to be, over rated from day one. 15 different pitch speeds, most in Little Lg mph. Anaheim, has fallen far. Once a contender, now a pretender.

These wins are nice, ... but ... the litmus test is- for our Yanx to beat their own Div. opps. To lose to the AL West right now is a disgrace for bad teams. I love seeing this local (once proud) team lose, with its fair weathered fans, at least Rex Hudler is no longer around on broadcast, worst in the business ever- ... but then Staats, and several others suck too ... Elvis has left the bldg...

 

oh btw-

4-19-1960 and 6-6-2016, what do they have in Yankee lore common..?

the last two times: 'in their first game, as a Yankee Player', hits 2 home runs.

Parm, pulled a Maris. What a far reaching dream to think of having a 60 HR lefty, and a switch hitting Comet Mick on pace to best both Babe and Roger... what a dream those days were.

 

They both have a lot of 6s & upside down 6s...............................what do I win????

 

...I had a pretty good idea so I googled it to make sure...but I won't spoil it for Matts.

 

yep, alot of upside down 6s and some right side up 6's..... You have won a vacation for 1 to spend a week with Caitlyn Jenner, (not sure which one of the 2 will show up), to beautiful Catalina Island, and your own seaside Condo, no not condom, but there are plenty in the bathroom drawers....

we weren't sure whether to have our Sweepstakes date with Jessica Alba, J-Lo, or George Clooney; and we didn't know if a guy or gal would win, so we got both.....well both sexes, for your pleasure, life rafts not included....

 

hmmm, I just woke up, got one cup of Java down, hmmmm ....

what is Jap-an US relations, or the Pen-is mightier than the sword...? for 500$ Alex....?

man o' man, if only Parmelee could pull a year long Roger Maris. Here we go: both were the last two Yanks to hit 2 HR's in their 1st game as a Yankee? 4-19-60 in 1960, and yesterday, must be the day of the beast, hope it continues all year.....?
