Tuesday night’s game was fun. Well, the ninth inning was fun. Watching Justin Verlander strike out 14 is not fun but watching Gary Sanchez connect on an 88 mph slider from Ken Giles and hit it 423 feet is a lot of fun. https://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/mp4/2018/05/02/1997442583/1525275532843/asset_1800K.mp4 It was also a pleasant surprise.

After a strong finish to the previous week, the virtual Yankees sat a 10-6 with the Marlins and Blue Jays coming to town.

Random Thoughts before the Blue Jays series
You all know the drill by now so I’m jumping right in. I am not the type to panic in April. But I am the type to get pissed off in April. Tuesday night was a shitshow of epic proportions and the Yankees should be embarrassed. I’m sick of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde thing […]
