It's raining in Boston, but ESPN says they are due to start soon. The finale of the so far disastrous Yankee series in Boston. And, to top it all off, we have those Angles coming in right behind them. Great.
John Kruk suggests Boston trade Manny for Pat Burrell of Philadelphia. Sorry, we have a malcontent left fielder who has the range of a post office building.
Orel Hershiser says on the pregame that the Yankees have "their swagger" back. Whatever that means. They do seem to be firing on all cylinders now, as you kind of knew they would again. But they are starting Sidney Ponson, so not all is lost for us.
The way we've been hitting, though, Ponson is exactly the sort of pitcher who can kick our ass. Veteran, knows how to pitch, and if he's on, can move the ball around and use his defense.
Maybe, I have to admit to myself, this isn't our year. Supposedly, the Yankees are about to deal more of their youngsters for Jarrod Washburn, so that will further give us an advantage over them in the future.
Manny made the news again, admitting to ESPN that he would accept a trade if Boston made one. It's hard to picture them getting equal value, and yet it is also hard to see how he has that much value. He's immobile, not always mentally there, and a clubhouse distraction. Yet when he's hot, he's a dangerous, dangerous Bad Man. Is he worth the trouble he brings?
I still don't know.
