WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! WOW….the Yankees handled a young pitcher!!! It’s almost unbelievable that could happen, especially after that horrible performance against the Nationals! They got to this kid West early and didn’t look back scoring 5 runs off him in the first 3 innings and holding on for the win. Now I have to keep this short and sweet because I am on my way out…sorry!

ummmmmmmmmm…was I sleeping or something along those lines? Because I’m pretty sure I just had a nightmare that the Yankees couldn’t handle the WORST TEAM in baseball (possibly ever)…and dropped 2 of 3 to them. Really? Is that what you guys are about? I know teams go into slumps…yada, yada, yada…but right now? AGAINST THE NATIONALS??? I hope you guys didn’t have people fooled earlier this year when you looked like a championship caliber team…because this week you looked like you belonged in AAA. The worst part about it is that the pitching was there…BUT WHERE WAS THE HITTING!!! This team is an offensive juggernaut and they scored a total of 7 runs!!! 7 runs!!! Is this a joke or something? I understand the struggles hitters have when they don’t know a pitcher or have never seen him before…but a whole team? And whyyyyyyy are you swinging so early? They clearly had NO strategy going into this series…what a horrible performance by a team that should’ve averaged 6 runs per game against Washington…but I guess that’s what happens when you expect to win and become lackadaisical.
Yankees vs Nationals Preview

Needless to say this series is a BIG one…if the Yankees play the way they should, and exploit the horrible Nationals pitching this SHOULD be a sweep, and there is no excuse if they don’t come out of this 2 to 1. The only concern I really have in this series is that the Nationals have BIG bats and have shown their muscle in the past…plus they also play in a bandbox in Washington so they know how to play on a ballpark that is similar to theirs. The Yankees should be on a high after their 2 to 1 series win over the Mets and especially the win yesterday over Santana, where their bats were absolutely on fire! (more…)

First I would like to thank my good friend (and cousin) Richie, of Forth Quarter Punts, for his input and his perspective of this series from a Mets fan point of view. And awayyyy we go:
I am going to start with his view first (sorry for the formatting):
Ahhh, it must be spring. The first round of the annual grudge match
for city bragging rights between the Mets and Yankees begins tonight
