Well Yankee fans the news is not good.
We were 3-4 and end the week at 7 up and 11 down for the season. It may be too early to hit the panic button but there is cause for concern. Te bright spots are few and far between. The road does not get much easier and we will have to find a way to play much bette vs the teams that have handled us easily so far.
Sunday
We lost 8-4 vs the Orioles. We managed 11 hits and 4 runs. Brown was of course horrible 6 innings pitched and 6 runs all earned.
Monday
We won 19-8 vs Tampa Bay but Wright was horrible. 5 and a third innings pitched 8 runs all earned. ARod with 2 hrs in a game that is somewhat meaning less. It would be nice to see some of that when we need it.
Tuesday
I cringe at times after a big offensive outburst because teams tend to come out flat the next day. We lost 6-2 to Tampa Bay. We managed 9 hits but only 2 runs behind another shabby outing by Randy Johnson. 7 and one third innings pitched and gave up 6 runs 5 earned.
Wednesday
Maybe Toronto will be a cure to our losing woes this year. We won 11-2. Pavano had a nice showing with 8 innings 2 runs and only 1 earned. Posada had a nice day at the pate and hit his first HR of the year. We knocked out 14 hits while scoring 11 runs.
Thursday
We beat Toronto again this time 4-3. Moose pitched 5 and one third with 3 runs all earned. Rivera nailed it down with 1 inning of scoreless relief. Th offense had got 9 hits but put 4 runs on the board.
Friday
I was a little worried about the Texas series with Brown and Wright going. I guess I correct on that hunch. We lost 5-3. We got 7 hits and Sheffield had 2 of them. We could only score 3 runs. Brown 6 innings 5 runs and now has a 8.25 era.
Saturday
We lost again to Texas, this time 10-2. We managed 5 hits and Bernie had 2 fo them against Park. Park did 6 and one third with 3 hits and 1 run vs this high powered offense. Wright got injured before pitching 5 and one third allowing 11 hits 6 runs 4 earned. He goes to the DL with a 9.15 era.
