Don’t look now, but they’re on a roll

If the Yankees played Texas 162 times, they would win 140 games at least.

The Yanks are now 4-0 against Texas this season, outscoring them 27-8. They are 19-5 against them going back to 2005.

Meanwhile Texas has to deal with Mike Mussina and Chien-Ming Wang the next two days.

The Yankees are 6-2 since the George Steinbrenner statement of April 30. With a six-game trip coming up to Seattle and Chicago, they should be able to do a lot of damage before heading to Shea Stadium on May 18.

    Mike Francesca called The Rangers are pathetic team and worst team in baseball? Is the same Rangers team who sweep the Bluejays. Is Mike Francesca really a Yankees Fan? It seems He’s bandwagon fan to me and love only Mickey Mantle. You don’t get credit when Yankees are winning and critized them in your show.

    How about Mets? I never heard him say Mets Play Triple-A Dbacks team which Mets owned by the way. Also Mets play an Old and Crunky Giants teams which are pathetic.

    Meanwhile The Redsox continue to roll, Defeated the lifeless and pathetic Bluejays team. It always about the Yankees. Everybody hates the Yankees and being potrayed as Evil. Wfan is Mets station. Yankees Fan like myself doesn’t have their Yankees radio station to listen to unlike the Mets.

    They better stay on this roll because after the Mets, it’s 3 against the Red Sox again.
    This team seems to be changing things around slowly. Arod carried them in April. May seems to be more of a team effort so far. Let’s hope it continues that way.

    You want to hear a real Yankee fan? Listen to Max Kellerman weekdays 10-12 on 1050.

    Pete, come on now 140? A little pessimistic don’t you think? You could pitch every inning of every game with all of Pavano’s injuries and the Yankees would win 140 games against Texas. Put real major league pitchers in place of you and I have to think 150-160 is doable.
