    You're right Cage, not very promising. In August........

    Young is batting 111, & 0 for his last 18
    A-rod is batting 151 & is 7 for his last 57
    Ryan is batting 125 & is 3 for his last 24

    Just doesn't seem fair.

    never a good way to begin a game, giving up an un-earned run due to Jacoby's error......

    A team that capitalizes on another's errors, more often than not, becomes the Victors, let's hope the Stro's give up a few errors of their own.....

    Or- Nova gets going, shuts down the Stro's, with the Yanx Bats wide awake, so I hope.....

    Keuchel is a tough SP, but He can be had.....

    1st innings & we're already down 5-0. This is all on Ellsbury.

    No way Nova is even sniffing the 5th inning in this game.

    ...Gomez, what a f'n hot dog...no way I'd want him on my team.

    ...I'll never forget McCann getting in his face for that kind of bush league "look at me" BS....that's when I really knew I wanted the Yanx to sign McCann as a FA.

    damn it, 1st inning, and 4 to Zip.

    It's not going to be a easy game against Keuchel with His 2.37 ERA, while opposing batters, are hitting a low .216 vs this guy......

    Top of the 1st = 5 runs, 4 hits, 3 walks on 40 pitches. This is not what I was looking forward to.

    Maybe there's a Gilligans Island marathon on somewhere.

    I'm sure our powerful hot hitting lineup can get us back into this.

    This team just has too many bummers and yet, is fighting for
    first place. A very strange ball club..........a very strange baseball
    season. No outstanding starting pitching (Eovaldi, the exception
    this year); hitting comes in batches and then someone stuffed
    the spigot. Few positive constancys. The negatives are threefold......
    How the hell are they fighting for first place?

    I'm glad you posted this, I recall the game itself, and loved how McCann got in Gomez's face, waiting for him in fact.......a true scrapper.....

    saw this video again, early last year around April in a one on one interview with Brian, who expressed his distaste for showboats. The 1st interview one on one, I saw with Brian in Pinstripes. McCann mentioned in that interview, how he had big shoes to fill, in memory of Munson, whom he idolized as any Catcher should, if their going to wear PS.....!

    They rode the hat bats of A-Rod & Teixeira but apparently that's over now & no one else is stepping up. I'm predicting now that the Yankees will finish 5 out in the east.

    I know the game is 9 innings but give the "character' of this team we'd best hope that the Texas Goat Ropers take care of Toronto this evening. Sure appreciate all the help Cashman got his team at the deadline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dodged a huge bullet that inning, if Nova gets past 5 I'll be surprised. Must suck to be Girardi, every night you send forth the employees who fail at each assignment.

    When have I ever thought the Yankees do not have
    a chance of winning a game after a first inning collapse?

    This team presents no comeback against
    an excellent pitcher. Now, think playoffs!......against
    excellent pitching. UGH!
