The Hunt for Navy Blue October

My ears have been ringin' with all the talk about the Yanks and the playoffs.  My good friend and former Ultimate Road Trip 3 cast mate Eddie Mata seems to think NOT facing Cliff Lee twice in a short series is a pretty good idea.  

Eddie went to Hollywood and got all soft on me like a helmet full of Dippin' Dots on a Saturday afternoon in August!

Fuhgetaboutit!  Yanks need to man up and finish these games out like champs!  Note to self: The Yanks are the defending champions!!!  So while some of our pitchers has left something to be desired (ala Burnett & Vasquez), we still have a great team that can repeat this bad boy! 

 So Yankee Universe, please don't accept second place as perfectly fine.  We still can win this...a little help from Baltimore and KC would be nice, I'm just sayin'.  So buckle up folks, we gonna have ourselves one heck of a ride this week!

PLAN YOUR WORK AND WORK YOUR PLAN!

Yanks vs. Rangers...a playoff preview.

The boys are down in Arlington for a weekend set against the Texas Rangers, in what seems to be a playoff preview between the top dogs of the AL East & West.

Ok, to say I'm not nervous about the series would be an understatement to the 2nd power! Vasquez, Burnett, and Moseley are not the prime time pitchers we want on the mound but they most certainly need to perform like CC, Andy, & Phil!

Oh then there's this lefty guy, Cliff Lee.  He's been funkin' up the place but against the pinstripes...well you know the story.

Buckle up your seats Yankee Universe, we may be entering a band of asteroids with the damage results to be seen on the other side!

P.S.  I know I'm a little late but congrats to  Michael Kay on his engagement to the lovely Jodi Applegate.  

Stay Tuned!

The good, the bad, & the ugly...

The Good:  Yankees are in 1st...alone.

The Bad: Injuries and starting rotation.

The Ugly: Losing to the Orioles.

What's up Yankee Universe!

The kid outta da Bronx is at it again! What's up Yankee fans it's good to be out in the blogosphere of Yankee Universe!  Big shout out to Philip at behindthebombers.com for making it all happen.

Now to business. First, Happy Birthday to Brett "Speedy B" Gardner. Celebrate by scoring a run or two...the team loves it when you do. We're only 46-10 when that happens.  Oh, nice throw to the plate in the 1st inning last night.  You're catching up to your ole compadre Melky in assists.

So Ivan Nova showed he can hang with the big boys...at least a few more innings and  a lot less damage than his Caribbean mate Javy Vasquez. Is it just me or wasn't it great that Juan "I wanna be like Brady Anderson" Bautista got some chin music and a little lip from the kid!? I'm just sayin'.

September fast approaches my friends!  The AL lead is a itsy bitsy half game and the boys are having themselves a stretch of opponents with a .500 or better record.  Tighten up your cleats kiddos...it's gonna be a hard slide into October.  Well wishes to our boys on the DL...let's hope Andy, Berkman, Marte & Arod get back on the field pronto!
