The Bronx party continues. Now the Yankees have got a kangaroo court going, with Mariano as judge and Jeter, Damon, and Burnett as jurors. Here's the full story. Phil Coke was fined $30 by the court for pointing at a fly ball, thinking it should be caught, then watching it go over the wall for a home run. And A Rod was punished for coming late...to the season.
On the field, today was back-to-back-to-back day, as Swisher, Cano, and Melky connected with big, fat homers to right field, one right after the other. Yankees are having a grand old time with the Orioles and Twins in town. It was great to see the Yankee bats, especially at the bottom of the order, support Hughes against Guthrie, a very skilled pitcher. I almost didn't watch this game, thinking that the pitching match up looked bleak.
So here's the outlook. If the Yankees complete the sweep tomorrow, then they really only need one win against Philly to stay on track. And the Yankees would be fortunate to get one.
Why am I so pessimistic about Philly? Well because they're the world champions. And the Yankees aren't even a playoff team.
