"Bring Back Buck, Part 2 "

THEY'RE MY TEAM and I can criticize them if I want.  And I will!!  Here goes.

I'D SAY THAT THE YANKEES ARE WORSE THAN A MINOR LEAGUE TEAM RIGHT NOW, BUT THAT WOULD BE AN INSULT TO MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL.

Yes, I know that the season is only 6 games old, and I'm aware that the World Champion Boston Red Sox are off to an even WORSE start than the Yanks....but so what?? Am I the only one who sees how terrible the Yanks have been?? This is New York, we ARE expected to win it all...as Yogi Berra said "It gets late EARLY out here."  We should NOT be complacent while Tampa is off to a great start.  We are setting a BAD PRECEDENT for the rest of our season.

Consider these facts and stats...

   1.) They've started out 2-4 against two of the worst teams in all of baseball.

   2.)  If I'm not mistaken, the Yanks now have TEN (10) guys on the Disabled List (oh, I'm sorry, the P.C. Police now call it the INJURED List.)  This is not an EXCUSE for their problems, this IS a problem.  Why aren't these guys more DURABLE??

   3.) They struck out 18 times yesterday, a Franchise Record for 9 inning games.

   4.)  They've averaged about 11 K's per game in these first six games to start the season, ANOTHER Franchise Record.

   5.)  Aaron Judge is hitting great FOR AVERAGE, but he has yet to hit a homer...after predicting the team would break the team record for homers they set LAST year!!

Meanwhile, the announcers Michael Kay, David Cone and Paul O'Neill joke around as they "call" the game instead of "calling" it what IS..........pathetic.  Example: when that new guy who'd claimed he could strike out Babe Ruth every time was faltering, one of them should have said "Forget Babe Ruth.  Why can't he strike out just ONE of THESE very ordinary guys??"

Manager AARON BOONE should be worried about his job right now.  He would be worried  if old man STEINBRENNER was alive!! George's sons are TOO LAID BACK, they should be pressuring BOONE to get on the TEAM with some pressure.  I say again, as I've said before, BRING BACK BUCK (SHOWALTER) as manager (see my blog for Oct. 12th of last year.)  These guys need a DISCIPLINARIAN, not a "PAL," if they're ever going to reach their full potential (in my opinion.)

Bring Back Buck!!




YANKEES-ORIOLES IN BALTIMORE TODAY, STARTING AT 3.  The O's won't be honoring SHOWALTER, whom they FIRED last year, but before the game they SHOULD be honoring FRANK ROBINSON (their great player who died a few months back. See my blog for 2/7/'19).
