Yankees back in first place...

[dalgreen]

I always find it amusing when the Yankees are behind in the standings in April and May and people start questioning the team's age, salaries, Joe Torre, etc. They still might not make the playoffs, but I wish people who always say it's a long season would start practicing what they preach. And the Braves seem ready to take back the NL East. Looks as if the Nationals have realized they are the Expos just in a different country.

How many more games can they keep winning 11-10 or something ridiculous like that? I can see them making the playoffs, but how are they going to win in the playoffs without any pitching? Yankees suck anyways.

1st place Yankees - That lasted about 20 hours :D

 

I am going to go out on a limb and say that when the Yankees traded 3 pretty good players for Randy Johnson they excpected a lot more out of him than he gave them last night, a 6 inning effort against a first place team!.

 

Your "Ace" should be going 7+ strong every night.

Sorry, but a Red Sox fan shouldn't be talking smack about other team's pitchers. :wink:

It's not smack, it's the facts. RJ is a good pitcher but he will have give NY a lot more than he gave them last night if they have World Series hopes. Boston is in 1st with their best pitcher being out 1/2 the year. Where would they be without Clement?

Johnson had a sore back and left early last night - I listened to the game. Don't know much more than that.

Yes he left the game with a back issue. He hurt it with 2 outs in the 6th but finished the inning. He said after the game that he was fine and would make his next start and bent over to touch his toes to prove his back was OK..... I didn't make that last part up.

Warning on Clement; he's been an inconsistent pitcher throughout his career who generally puts up one very good half-season and one bad half-season. He looks to be following the same pattern this year based on his last few starts.
