Back on the horse

For what it's worth ... I'm back.

And the Yankees are back to season opener form, getting pretty good pitching and absolutely no offense. Scoring 3 runs against Corey Feldman, or whatever his name was, and Kevin Millwood is about as bad as it gets, especially when Yankees starters only gave up 5. Joba's four innings Tuesday was all about my favorite thing ... pitch count. Six-man rotations are coming and coming fast. I predict Boston will be the first team to use it.

With one more game against Texas and two huge series against the Red Sox and (gasp) first place Rays, the Yanks need to get the stuff together or risk dropping from the race even before the All-Star break.

Incidentally, New York would be in first place in at least two other divisions. Good old American League East. Where 100-win seasons go to die.

Ken Singleton is rhyming more, and punning ... Michael Young reached on an error and Singleton said he "got restless" and went to second. Michel Kay mercifully ignored the comment. Is this what passes for creativity in the booth these days? Drives me nuts.
