Yankees Win — and This Blog Came Out of Hiding!

July 24, 2020

It’s been a very long time since I posted here, but last night’s long-awaited 2020 season opener against the Nats was such a welcome escape from the current woes. I live in Florida, where the number of Covid cases and deaths has surged, so watching the game last night was a thrill.

Fauci’s errant ceremonial first pitch notwithstanding (hey, the guy is really busy right now and hasn’t had time to practice; he’s still my hero), the united front of the Yanks, kneeling to honor BLM, was so moving I hardly missed the fans in the stands.

Cole was terrific, and Judge, Stanton, Wade and company were stellar against the tough Scherzer. Too bad about the rain, but I was just grateful they got most of the game in, given the forecast.

Only question: why is Brett Gardner betting 5th?

OK, another question: aren’t they supposed to avoid high-fiving and spitting? I saw them do both.

Play ball!

He’s Ours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

December 11, 2019

I knew we’d sign him. I just knew it. And now I’m so happy I’m dancing in the streets.

Is $324 million an insane amount of money? Check.

Is nine years an eternity for a contract? Check.

But it’s not my money and the Yankees save some by letting Didi go to the Phillies, plus they’ll shed some cash if they can trade Happ.

As for the nine years, Cole is young with a healthy history, and I’m not worrying about his arm. They’re all possible injury candidates. Can’t obsess about that.

I’ve also heard people say he’ll have trouble adjusting to New York – the fans, the media, the big show. That’s why Cashman brought Pettitte along to woo him last week; Andy knows what it’s like to thrive in pinstripes. And Cole has been a Yankee fan his whole life.

This is sooooooooo exciting!
