I guess the Yanks got wind of our (completely justifiable) complaining Friday night and resolved to do better. Either that or it’s because the most important player on a baseball team changes every day. Where would we be without Mike T. giving us his impressions of baseball announcers giving the inside scoop on facts like [...]

Two horrible games. They slap Halliday around and then let a 47 year old and a no name make them look inept. Frustratiing, but they are in first place and share the best record in baseball.
I am now starting to wonder if Texiera and ARod will ever get going. With Jeter in another slump, the [...]

Mike, I agree I’m tired of A.J. too. Sorry, I haven’t been on the roundtable lately, but as Luther told the parking garage attendant in the movie “48 Hrs” ….. “I’ve been busy!” Actually, I’ve been tapped by the Obama Administration on how to plug the hole… please no plugging hole jokes. You can save [...]

That’s all I really have to say. I’m just tired of it. His inconsistency is intolerable. On any day you just don’t know what you are going to get. He can throw a masterful one-hit shutout, or get completely shelled in three innings and be forced from the game. It doesn’t matter the opponent. There’s [...]

Maybe Sabathia just needed a spark, pitching vs. Hallady you have to bring your, your mother’s and your grandma’s A game. It was good to see Hallady get frustrated, the Phillies are Pfoundering a bit.
Teixeira is undercutting his swing, trying to jack everything into the air – if that’s his attempt to beat the shift, [...]

Saturday, I was in a Verizon store buying a new cell phone. They had the soccer game on TV. For 45 minutes, all I heard were those stupid horns . By the time I left, I wanted to find Pele and kill him. It was impossible to watch… maybe with the sound off. But, who [...]

The Jets had to cut their PSL price in half for certain seats because they couldn’t sell 9,000 seats. This after they had no PSL for the upper deck. This tells me two things: i) Jets fans are smarter than Giants fans (who were dumb enough to pony up PSLS) and ii) The Jets overreached.
PSLs are [...]

The Roundtable seems a little laid back lately. I’m calling for a pep-rally, fire drill, and seventh- inning stretch photo montage tribute to Horace Clarke at my house on Friday, June 18th for the NYY/Mets game, 7:05 start.
I’m about 5 miles north of Joe G.’s house to give you a rough geographic idea. Please let [...]

Unbelievable that we had to rely on Javy to avoid a sweep. My post last week was prophetic. Jose Bautista beat A.J. like a red-headed stepchild which put the weak-hitting Yankees at a big disadvantage. Pettitte pitched great on Saturday but because the only guy that hits on this team is Cano, the they couldn’t [...]

Tonight, the Yankees face off against the Blue Jays in what I perceive as the only real test the Yankees will face during the stretch of games that began on May 28 (against Cleveland) and will end on June 13 vs. Houston. Here are the pitching matchups:
Burnett (6-2, 3.28) vs. Cecil (5-2, 3.81)
Pettitte (7-1, 2.48) [...]
