2 runs ... 2 games ... Royals

Really? Two runs? Zack Greinke and Mike Bannister? This is awful. Banged up, maybe, but still, the Yankees should be scoring five a game, at least. I understand it's cold and dreary, but two teams are in it.

Still, the Yankees weren't awful yesterday. Brian Bruney was impressive in terrible conditions as an emergency starter. Thanks Kyle Farnsworth for making John Buck look like Babe Ruth. Straight fastballs get hit. Hard and long. He'll learn that at some point.

So, the Yanks need a stop from Andy Pettite, who wasn't so good last time coming off the DL. Gotta be the man this season Andy.

How about those Royals? Young, cheap teams that win are "scrappy." Good pitching. They're running at will. Those Royals. Watch out for them. Until about May.

Oh, and was it just me or did it seem as if Ken Singleton and David Cone were justing hoping for a psychotic episode from Greinke. "Well, you know Kenny, Greinke has had mental issues in the past. He got treatment for them in ... he could go bat-shit crazy at any moment. Who knows what he's capable of? ... There's another strike from the righty ..." Terrible.

I'm getting tired of Red Sox unveiling ceremonies. If I never see Bill Buckner all choked up, with his brill-creamed hair and giant-sized stache, it will be too soon. He looks like Dick Blumenthal's porn star brother. "I ... just had ... to ... forgive ... not the fans ... of Boston ... the media." Get over it Bill. Your play cost the Sox a World Series and probably drove a dozen or more people to suicide. All because you couldn't field a groundball.
