When You’re Bad, You’re Bad

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” … cliched as it is, this phrase, in chronological terms, described the Yankees’ 2010 rather well so far.  For the first thirty games, we were golden.  Then everything went wrong at once, and … well, it was (is) the worst of times in Yankeeland, at least in the comparative sense of 2010.  So bad.

Angsty Joba’s right.

We just lost a series to the Mets, y’all.  The Mets.  The Empire State Building is going to be all lit up in Mets’ blue and orange this Monday.  …Now that’s just cruel.
The Yankees are 5-10 in their last 15 games, and we are specifically not firing on all cylinders.  Our starters, once golden, now can’t pitch, with the exception of Javier Vazquez (who woulda thunk it?); we can’t hit unless it’s the ninth inning and the game is already too far gone.
Slumps happen.  Of course they do.  It’s no reason to give up on the season, and no fan in their right mind would count us out yet.  It’s just frustrating to watch.  What was 21-8 turned into 26-18 so quickly.  And just as quickly we can turn back into the winning machine we once were (hey, Curtis Granderson‘s due off the DL anytime now)… for now we just wait it out, right?  Of course right.
Record: 26-18.
Next Up: A win.  Maybe.  Please?  AJ Burnett goes against Scott Baker (Minnesota), Tuesday, May 25, 8:10 PM.
Till next time,
