Weekly Random Thoughts On The Yankees
The Yankees went 3-4 this week and now find themselves trailing Boston by a game and a half in the AL East.The Yankees are 3-3 so far in a ten-game (in ten days!) series against three different division leaders.
In their past twelve games, the Yankees have committed twenty-one errors, leading to thirteen unearned runs.
Mariano Rivera has given up a run in two of his past four games. He is 2-1 with a save during those four games.
Bernie Williams was listed on today's injury report with a buttock injury. If the Yankees don't start pitching and fielding better, he and the rest of the team will find out from Steinbrenner what a real pain in the ass is.
Thank you FOX for televising the Yankees-Mets game today. I know you're like ESPN and like to televise as many Braves games as possible, and I'm sure that cross-town White Sox/Cubs rivalry looked tempting, but you made the right choice.
The Yankees start a three-game series at Fenway on Monday night. Monday and Wednesday's games are on ESPN.
La La Love You
I'm always late to the party, so I'm sorry if you've already heard about this. On July 4th, lala.com will launch. It's a site where people can trade used CDs.Basically, it works like this: you list all the CDs you have to trade. Someone sees one they like, they pay one dollar (plus forty-nine cents for shipping) to La La. You mail them the CD. Then you get a CD from someone else (after you pay $1.49 to La La). Then after you're done
The amazing thing is La La will donate twenty cents from every sale to the artists. It will be interesting to see how they'll handle soundtracks.
