Happy Birthday, George!!!!
How was your big day, George? You turned what, like 114 yesterday? Did you have a great time not only celebrating your birthday, but also the independence of our country? I sure hope so!
How was my Fourth of July? Thanks for asking! Well, to be honest, it was GREAT! I got to light some sparklers, have some good B-B-Q'ed food, enjoy a day off from work and....oh yeah, I got to see your Yankees get decimated by the much inferior Cleveland Indians by a score of 19-1.
Cleveland Indians:
19 runs.
21 hits.
6 home runs.
5th inning: 14 Indians came to the plate.
Ronnie Belliard & Jhonny Peralta: back-to-back home runs.
Travis Hafner: 2 home runs.
Grady Sizemore: 3-for-3.
Victor Martinez: 5-for-6.
Todd Hollandsworth: 3-for4.
The list goes on....
New York Yankees:
1 run.
18 earned runs.
Shawn Chacon: 1 1/3 innings pitched: 6 hits, 7 earned runs.
T.J. Beam: 2/3 of an inning pitched: 6 hits, 6 earned runs.
Mike Myers: 1/3 of an inning pitched: 3 hits, 2 earned runs.
Scott Proctor: 2 innings pitched: 4 hits, 3 earned runs.
Johnny Damon: 0-for-3.
Derek Jeter: 1-for-3.
Jason GiamBALCO: 0-for3.
Nine total hits.
Now before you go and drive your golf cart off a Tampa Bay cliff, I think you should do what you always do when you go into panic mode: start throwing more money out there for players who won't perform. According to today's NY Post, there are rumors that you are considering adding another bat to your lineup. Noteable names include the Phillies' Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, and David Dellucci, Nationals' Alfonso Soriano (remember him?), Royals' Reggie Sanders, Pirates' Craig Wilson, and the Cubs' Jacque Jones. However, your farm system and current roster is totally depleted from past horrible trades (Esteban Loiza, etc.) I can't see many teams wanting to do any deals with you. But I'm sure that won't stop you from throwing money at the problem. This time, I'm sorry to tell you, a new bat in the lineup won't come close to covering up your anemic bullpen and spotty starting pitching.
Going into Wednesday's game, you are still 4 games behind the Red Sox (and tied with Toronto) in the AL East and 7 games behind the White Sox in the Wild Card Standings. With last night's game being the Yankees' 81st game of the season, we are now officially at the halfway point. It looks like it will be a cruel summer for you this year.

Get a life
Wow, you really hate the Yankees.
right on!
awesome how you neglect to mention the injuries (Sheff, Matsui, Cano, now Damon) and the fact that they're still only 3 back of the Red Sox. (Yes, the same Red Sox who are 34-30 vs. the AL)
i want the last minute of my life back, i thought you might actually make one good point in that article....atrocious
Great site! I like how all the whiny Yankee fans try to bash it here in the comments section. Keep up the good work. I look forward to coming back and reading more while the Yankees ship slowly sinks!
Why did you write no entry about the Mets v. Yankees series?
Crybaby.
Want a tissue?
yankees suck. yankees suck. yankees suck.
So, the previous blogger wants a minute of his nonexistant life back? Waaaah, Waaaah, Waaah!
Keep up the good work...great site!
Also I love the blog you guys have here. I was wondering if you would link my blog to yours and then I will do the same for your site.
www.americanlegends.blogspot.com
If you want to do this just write a comment on my blog with the URL to the homepage and the name you want me to put for the link.
Thanks,
David
Come wipe the cobwebs off this ridiculous blog. Not only were you wrong in 2006 (in spite of losing to the Tigers), but you're also wrong in 2007-if you were even foolish enough to make such a BS prediction in consecutive years. Translate as much of your own self hatred and low self esteem as you need to in these pitiful premonitions. If the Yankees must lose for you to feel good about yourself, may you roast in perpetual self-immolation for all time.
