Yankees draw the Angels hopefully they can stick it to Pretty Boy Wilson a second game in a row. They'd best do well, Tampa plays Boston tonight and as luck would have it a terrible Cleveland Team for 3 before the YS Series. Even Kluber can't hit a bull in the ass with a shovel this year.
My bad Cleveland plays 4 against TB. We need to see Cleveland kick butt, and Texas to beat Baltimore but maybe not likely going on recent records.
Swisher hasn't done very well lately in "Brohio". The Indains paid big bucks for not much, don't know which member of the Yankee Brain Trust made the decision to let him go but they sure hit the nail on the head.
Hoping Yankees can take 2 out of 3 from the LA Angels of Anaheim(?). Indians are having tough time scoring runs with mediocre pitching....they'll be lucky to take 1 game in TB series. Baltimore is clicking against losing teams; maybe Texas will give them a fight.
Honestly I'm not really concerned right now on who beats the hell out of who, It's way to early in the season.
The Swisher signings IMO are more-so based on "Branding", the big bucks, for a kid who had some good games, and moments as a Yank, or as his time in Oakland, and how he earned his permanent roster spot, by playing, LF, CF, RF, 1st Base, DH..... But- His Lifetime Post Season B'Avg is only .165, Drew Territory....... The Epitome of Branding; where Players are no longer Players, rather now Commodities, Commercialized Assets, Entertainers; ???.........as Multi-Millions of $$$$$ are at stake. Bad decisions are made. Nick is lucky he's not been DFA, or a Minor Lg. AA ball, lifer....
Prince Albert's been on a terror this last week...... CC still looking like he should go into the Pen, as a Left handed specialists, his ERA vs lefties on the season: .195
Great night out here for a game, let's play two..? let's not, or we'll be playing until the sun rises on the East Coast......
