Home away from home

The Yanks were in one of their favorite locales this weekend for a series against the Os and came away with a couple wins. For some odd reason the Bombers treat Camden Yards like it's Yankee Stadium South.... not that I'm complaining. Saturday's game was a laugher with another 5 HRs hit.
Yesterday's game was a bit of a nail biter with the new guy in town Russell Martin getting the game winning hit in the 11th. So much for Buck's team that started with a bunch of wins out of the gate.

As of yet I have not figured out what's up with my scanner. I'm very very close to just going and buying another one out of spite. I really need to get that squared away before the '11 Bowman comes a knockin'.

Rain rain go away.....

So the Yanks/Os was a washout in Baltimore last night. Will we even get to nicer weather? Will CC ever pick up win number one on the season? Will I ever get my scanner working again properly? Who knows, but I do know one thing...... relax and enjoy a homebrew. Sorry mixed up my blogs, lol

Nice one by Bartolo

Nice win tonight for Bartolo Colon, his first since May 26 of '09. He smartly used all parts of the plate and kept the Jays guessing. I'll take it. Now if only the Rays and Sox kept up their losing ways I would love to get like a 12 game lead by June 1, lol.

Didn't last long

So my scanner is already giving me issues. Ugh. I'm hoping a quick re-install of the drivers and software will square things away and allow me to upload moor pics of bad junk wax. Here's to figuring a quick solution to my problem(s).

The Yanks wrap up a short two game series tonight in Toronto after blowing one in the tenth inning last night. All I can say is Mo is human and is bound to not be perfect. That he has done it for this long this consistently is mond boggling. That he has done it with one pitch makes you want to question the Baseball Gods.

My man Freddy

It looks like Freedy Garcia turned back the clock to 2001 and pitched lights out yesterday. If he can keep that up who needs Cliff Lee..... oh wait we do. The Yanks have shown a propensity the last couple years of finding lightning in a bottle starting pitching-wise. From Aaron Small's one year stint at greatness to Shawn Chacon doing it for half a year to Chien Mien Wangs extended two and a half years of premium pitching, the Bombers on occasion can find 'em in the weeds. Who knows.

Ohhhh and I've got a secret.......

I've got the starting pitching blues

Is it me or does the Yankee starting pitching look like it is straight outta double A?
One pathetic start after another after another. When your best SP on the season thus far is A.J. Burnett you know things have gone awry. Hughes = junk. Nova = garbage. Even CC = pedestrian. There are only soo many times your lineup is going to save you from yourself.

Phil Hughes goes on the 15 day DL yesterday one day after getting the white smacked out of him. Supposedly it's a "deadarm" possibly from him throwing 190 Innings last year or so the theory goes. Does that mean that each and every Yankee prospect from now on is only going to be allowed to increase their total over the year before by 10?
Guys are going to 31 years old before they are allowed to make a full seasons worth of starts.

No need for a dome?

Who needs a dome when you play baseball in the Northeast in March and April? Not the Yanks or the Mets who have fancy new houses. Two weeks into the schedule and the weather has already played havoc with the Yanks and they might miss yet another game tonight with rain. I could see a football team not wanting a dome but baseball? The season goes from March until November these days, there's bound to be some shat weather in that span. Bah.

As for one to file in the Things that make me smile collumn, the Sox and their 2 and 9 start are tops on that list right now. The Rays go for the sweep tonight and I have my pom poms out and ready.
