The Good
The Yankees get to hobble to Baltimore later this week and take on the healthier, younger Os again, so that's really #$&*ing great!
The Bad
Curtis Granderson was added to the list of injured Yankees. Our starting line-up is now Derek Jeter, and a series of guys with names like 'Boxcar Joe'. In fact, our starting line-up looks more like the first list of cuts from Spring Training camp than it does a major league line-up, but that's cool.
The Ugly
After losing the rubber match, Hughes stood in front of his locker next to an empty chair. As the beat guys approached, we could sense something weird was about to happen. Then Hughes spoke.
"You might be wondering what a New York baseball tradesman is doing here," began Hughes. It was a strange opening remark. We were in the Yankees clubhouse after a baseball game. The only thing we were expecting to see were baseball tradesmen.
"I have the president here, and I'm going to ask him a few questions," continued Hughes.
"Can you ask him why you can't keep the ball in the park?" replied one beat writer.
Hughes did not appreciate the comment. His face formed into a frown and, for a moment, it seemed as though he might cry.
Then he cried.
We left.
Why Come We Hit Homers and No Win Games?
Granderson, Cano, and Dickerson all contributed to the children in this series. Granderson even went and got hurt so he could better relate to them.

Terrible. However, I hear Boxcar Joe has some interesting views on redistribution of wealth.
Yeah, but his tendency to explain them loudly to an empty chair is more creepy than enlightening.
Boxcar Joe is an artist!
