Weekly Random Thoughts On The Yankees
The Yankees went 4-3 this week, bringing their overall record to 45-33, and are now tied with Toronto for second in the AL East, four games behind Boston. If today were August 2, I would be panicking.The Yankees had a great game Friday night. Five Yankees pitchers combined for a one-hitter against the Mets.
However, they followed that up with another abysmal performance from Randy Johnson on Saturday. Johnson went six innings, giving up eight earned runs in an 8-3 loss to the Mets.
Jason Giambi is trying to fill in for the missing bats of Sheffield, Matsui, and Cano. Giambi has six homers, ten RBIs, and seven walks in his last ten games.
It's beginning to look like there will be only one representative from the AL East in the playoffs this year. Detroit and Chicago show no signs of slowing down.
I Know You Are But What Am I?
The Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, responsible for bringing great original programming like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Boondocks, Harvey Birdman, Home Movies, Robot Chicken, and Sealab 2021 to the masses, has scored another coup: Beginning on July 10, they will start airing reruns of Pee-wee's Playhouse at 11:00 PM, Monday-Thursday.So fire up the TiVos and help introduce Pee-Wee Herman to a new generation of fans!
You've Been Forewarned
Never one to shy away from one of Paige's challenges, I've decided to list my top 100 albums over the next few weeks. This will prove, once and for all, that I am neither cool, hip, or have any taste (in case there was a few of you who might have thought otherwise). So stay tuned if you're interested in that sort of thing.In the meantime, please check out Paige's list (still in progress) or Aaron's list.
