What a friggin joke. I’m not sure what the Yankees problem have been with these weekend series, but this shit has to stop. I can almost understand losing some games to Oakland, but the Nationals are supposed to be a bottom tier team.
Things actually got off to a nice start on Friday. Bernie Williams showed some of his old self with a four for five performance He homered, drove in two runs and scored three times. Jaret Wright wasn’t so good, but the pen did their job. Mariano Rivera picked up the win after the Yankees came back from a two run deficit in the eighth to win it 7-5.
Just like the 1986 World Series, somebody told me the Yankees played a game on Saturday and lost, but I have no idea what they’re talking about. The Yankees didn’t play on Saturday just like nobody played in the 1986 World Series. It’s all a big joke. Ha ha. Ha ha. Ehhhhhhh.
Today, Chien-Ming Wang went the distance and lost it in the ninth when Ryan Zimmerman hit a two run walk off homer to end it. I can understand why he was still in there. He had only thrown 106 pitches up until the homerun and the bullpen was tired. Jorge Posada hit a sac fly and Alex Rodriguez hit a solo homerun to account for the two Yankees run in this one.
Boston plays tonight, and just like every night I’ll be rooting against them. If the Red Sox lose, we’re back in second place. Next up for the Yankees are the Phillies, who look like they have a split personality disorder. They’ll win a bunch, then lose a bunch. Right now, they’ve been losing a bunch so hopefully that end of the trend will remain intact.

I couldn’t agree more - - no way the Nationals should beat the Yankees two out of three,and yes, we are a bottom tier team. Then again, after having the best record in the “bigs” over the last three weeks, no way we should have lost to the Rockies in four straight.
Baseball — you gotta love it!
