The Yankees game yesterday was pretty ugly, not much to say there except the hitters still are not alive and Kyle Farnsworth is still no good. Ian Kennedy didn’t start the game because of the threat of rain, but did pitch three innings and looked good after the first. His command was much better than [...]

Early Irrational Freak Out Time
I’m mildly freaking out here after yesterday’s game and some bad news for the lineup. Phil Hughes’ fastball was still way below where it should be, and his command was off.

Summary of Today's Yankee Game
I had great seats and a delicious sandwich. I am not aware of any horrible fielding that might have occurred.
Opening Night is Melky's Night
Last night was Opening Day, and the rain kindly held off until the game ended. I hope John Heyman and John Harper were watching after all their wailing that Wang was going to be terrible, but I’m sure they’d just say “Wait for it, he’ll be awful” or something similar. I came in hoping for [...]
