    Let's hope Germán picks up where he left off vs Cleveland. 6 + Innings of no-hit ball.

    Since May 1st the bullpen has obtained Game Win & Loss Decisions in 7 of the last 10 games...

    What was Trashman thinking? .........that this team would win the majority of their games 8-6?
    The build up with this team was the offense. The starting pitching was shaky, questionable at best.
    And the memo in spring training was ......’the Yankees have a strong relief corp...probably the best
    in the game.
    Well, we are into May......we have seen that good pitching can quiet the Yankee bats. Even weak
    starting opponent pitchers can beat this team. And it is not because of the hitting.....it is because
    Yankee pitching , starters and relievers.
    Do not be deceived. Pitching wins championships. Trashman tends to believe that offense is the
    trend toward achieving wins.

    ^^^^^with that said.......here’s hoping German can get the Yankees back on track. And you can be sure
    German, as a starter this year, was not in Trashman’s plans.

    My bet is that Trashman is hoping for a rainout today.....it would be better than watching
    another pitching glitch.

    Every time the offense would close the gap a Yankee Pitcher would increase it. Even as much as I dislike the Red Sox, Dombrowski does go to games and observe. All Cashman does is show up pre-game to prank opposing managers using gags that we gave up on in 3rd grade. That loss last night was a fucking disgrace, good thing the Blue Jays took care of the Boston.

    Yes Game announcers said: Triggs pitched a Beauty against Baltiwhore h-O's, the 13-25 O's.
    My little sister could pitch a shutout against the h-O"s...

    Hicks just misses home run number to by 5 ft.

    Is everyone other than Gardner swinging to hit a homerun every Effing time they come to bat, or is it just my warped perception?

    The M110 was Donnie baseballs bat of choice for many years. Wally Joyner's too.
