Weekly Random Thoughts On The Yankees
The Yankees went 4-2 this week and despite losing two of three to Boston, are now 21-13 and have a half-game lead on Boston in the AL East.In those six games, the starting pitchers were 4-1 with a combined ERA of 2.89.
TODAY, JARET WRIGHT ONLY GAVE UP TWO RUNS IN FIVE AND A THIRD INNINGS (this is not a typo).
The Yankees are a Johnny Damon injury away from a AAA outfield. Scary thought.
Alex Rodriguez has homered in three of his last four games.
The Yankees are 10-3 in their last thirteen games, a .769 winning percentage.
All three of those losses were to the Red Sox.
Does This Make Sense To You?
In a perfect world, there would be more people angry about the Bush administration's domestic wiretapping "program" than people angry about Chris Daughtry getting voted off American Idol.Pygmalion's Wife
Back in November, I came across this fantastic website. It was written by a woman who poured her heart and soul into every word. This very talented writer suffered one personal tragedy after another after another after another (etc., etc., etc.). Yet she continued. And she had the guts to write about it all and somehow managed to pepper her adventures with humor (this is the part where if I wasn't such an illiterate moron, I'd equate her work with some famous author you might be familiar with).It was through her former site that I learned it was possible to care and worry about someone I didn't really know.
She went away for a while but now she's back. I urge you all to check out Pygmalion's Wife.
