Weekly Random Thoughts on the Yankees
The Yankees went 5-1 this week, bringing their overall record to 34-32. The Yankees have won ten of their last eleven games. On May 29th, the Yankees were fourteen and a half games behind Boston in the AL East and seven and a half games behind Detroit for the Wild Card spot. Today, the Yankees are eight and a half games behind Boston and three and a half behind Detroit. The Boys Are Back!In those ten victories, the Yankees have outscored their opponents 78-32. A-Rod's line for those ten victories: .444 average, .535 OBP, 7 BB, 6 HR, and 23 RBI.
But here is the most telling stat for the Yankees' recent success: in seven of those ten victories, Yankees starters have been averaging seven and a third innings with an ERA of 2.29. Tyler Clippard started the other three victories, but he only averaged 4 innings per start with an ERA of 9.00. I'll be glad when Phil Hughes gets healthy.
This week, they play the rubber game with the Mets, followed by series at Colorado and at San Francisco.
Jericho
Fans of Jericho actually reversed the show's cancellation. When the cancellation was announced, fans flooded message boards and sent emails to CBS executives. And they also sent 40,377 pounds of peanuts to the New York and Los Angeles CBS offices. CBS has ordered seven episodes of the show for next season with the promise of more if people tune in. So tune in, folks! It's mindless entertainment but it's very engaging.True Dad Confessions
