Yankees Have Epiphany: They Suck

The Good

Generally speaking the pitching was good. Joba gave the Yankees 6 innings and 3 runs, a quality start, and Aceves, Coke and Robertson held the Nationals scoreless over three innings. I wouldn't call it an accomplishment, but its something.

The Bad

The Nationals first three hitters are major league caliber, the remaining 6 are not, how are we losing to this team?

The Ugly

For the second consecutive game, a crappy pitcher has bedazzled the Yankees. The Yankees were shutout and really couldn't muster much against the Nationals. Now we've lost the series, nay, our self respect.

Respect Jeter's Gangster is for the Children

The "Respect Jeter's Gangster" blog joined Johnny Damon's home run club, which raises money for the Children's Health Fund. We are pledged to donate $1.00 for every homerun the Yankees hit this season. No homeruns yesterday as the Yankees were really hoping to conserve their hits yesterday.

Jorge Posada 9hr = $9.00
Hideki Matsui 10hr = $10.00
Derek Jeter 9hr = $9.00
Mark Teixeira 20hr = $20.00
Nick Swisher 12hr = $12.00
Robinson Cano 12hr = $12.00
Johnny Damon 14hr = $14.00
Melky Cabrera 6hr = $6.00
Jose Molina 1hr = $1.00
Alex Rodriguez 9hr = $9.00
Brett Gardner 2hr = $2.00
Total = $104.00

First game without a home run in the new Stadium.
After a 5 1/2 hour rain delay the powers that be invited everyone in the upper decks and bleachers to move on down to the good seats. Whoa there pally, not the best seats, the good seats, anything under $1000.

I thought it was nice that they offered people tickets to a future game who had tickets to this game. Its a nice gesture seeing as it was delayed for a ridiculous amount of time, and then they played in the rain anyways.

Joba needs to pitch more economically.
