The Mets overcame a botched home run call and hammered the Yankees 11-2. Brian Heyman has the story.
That meeting Joe Girardi has last week didn’t exactly resonate with the troops. But he is taking responsibility for being in last place.
The managers have something in common. They’re not getting it done according to columnist Sam Borden.
Jorge Posada did some catching yesterday. This notebook also has the latest on A-Rod.
hopefully you got a little sleep tonight!
First day of the rest of our season starts tomorrow. Hop on board the Yankee Blind Optimism Club before it’s too late!
Does anyone think we should give Giese a start or 2 over Ian? He has a .90 e.r.a. and whip of .92.
JEFF I’ll hop on. Better than being a pessimist.
If there ever was a time to hop on the bandwaggon now is it. The schedule between now and the next Mets series looks extremely easy. The Yankees look awful at the moment, but if the return of Arod, a return to form from some of the others (Abreu, Cano, Giambi, Pettite) can occur, they will feast on the competition. If there is no restoration of energy, then we will be further out next month and looking at shedding players be the enxt series.
I’m all for blind optimism…but at least there are actually real reasons to be optimistic this week (like the return of the MVP, for one thing).
Tabata .222 avg. 0 homeruns 30k in 39 games. For someone who was being compared to Manny not long ago. Can his wrist still be bothering him?
