While we listened to the Yankees game yesterday, we couldn't help but imagine John Sterling sitting there with cake icing on his fingers and ice cream dripping from his chin. And of course that segued to this classic scene from Animal House.
Someone find the schedule maker and hit them upside the head. Who's bright idea was it to put the Yankees-Red Sox on the heals of Yankees-Mets? Not that it matters to me, but it must be the same bozo who immediately schedule the Mets in Atlanta.
It's only May 21st, but uh-oh, it's already May 21st. The Yankees find themselves 10.5 games behind the Blow Sox as the two teams get ready to due battle in a 3 game series. This IS make or break time for the Yankees. If they want to get themselves back into any kind of a playoff race, whether it be the division or wild card, a stand has to be made now. The Yankees HAVE to take 2 of 3 in this series to get some confidence, to get on some kind of a roll, to not let the 2007 season slide completely away from them.
Their pitching rotation is set up for the first time this season. Chien-Ming Wang, Mike Mussina, and Andy Pettitte are scheduled to take Yankee Stadium mound on consecutive nights. If ever there was a time to make a point, to make a move, this is it.
Probable Pitchers
Monday - Tim Wakefield vs. Chien-Ming Wang Tuesday - JulianTavarez vs. Mike Mussina Wednesday - Curt Schilling vs. Andy Pettitte
Here' s some more inspirational thoughts, real or, um, otherwise. Part of this first one is shown on the Yankee Stadium scoreboard during 9th inning
Over? It's not over 'til we say it's over!!!
