Bet the house! (Yanks 6 Royals 1)


In the last post I first wrote, "Bet the house that CC will blow KC away tomorrow." My better judgement told me to edit out such a bold prediction. If I indulge too often in that habit, eventually I'll end up spectacularly, laughably wrong. So I said safer things like "expect" and "it's likely", although I really felt it was pretty much predetermined that CC would be very motivated and have no trouble dismantling that lineup.

The Yankees continue to hit, and the bullpen continues to perform. Once Joba and Wang decide to join the party, I think we'll have ourselves a legit shot at 100 wins.

And by the way, how about Nick Swisher (a career .245 hitter), stepping up into the Yankee three spot yesterday and smoking balls left and right? He's the story of the season so far.
