Carlos Beltran has joined the 400 club and an elite one it is. I don’t know how much gas he’ll have in the tank as the season progresses, but for now he’s delivered power when we’ve needed it and made a case for himself as a Hall of Famer. He’s also supposed to be a really nice guy. Bravo, Carlos.
Oh, and – no small thing – the Yankees took the series from the White Sox despite having lost to arguably the sport’s best pitcher, Chris Sale. Chase Headley of all people had a big hit today, and Chapman continued to throw heat in save situations. All in all, a good weekend for the Yankees.
As we move into the second half of May, I’d love to see them bust out of last place in the division. I’m not even asking for first place. Just please let them get out of the cellar. I’d say that maybe the warmer weather will help them, but it got colder again today and the coming week doesn’t look much better. Isn’t it supposed to be spring or am I just disoriented from living in California so long?
They’re only 4 games under 500 now – definitely heading in the right directions. Happy the bats are finally waking up and that they bring Chapman in with more than a 1-run lead. And 400 homeruns – WOW. Not too shabby. GO YANKEES!!!
I’m off to Phoenix to see the yankees play the diamondbacs. I will give a cheer for everyone
I only made it to the stinker game. I picked Obama over the Yanks on Sunday. It was worth it!
Not too shabby at all, Diane. If Beltran hits 30 more this season, I’ll be a happy camper.
Oh please do bring the Yankees luck in Arizona, lynne! And have a great time while you’re there.
Was Obama in NYC on Sunday? I must have missed that.
He was the commencement speaker at Rutgers – 250th anniversary.
Right! I forgot about that. Meanwhile, the Yanks got clobbered last night. UGH
