So Levine orders a break in the concrete to
find the Big Papi jersey and end the curse. Now civil charges
are in order for the culprit, a bronx native. Meanwhile last
night at Fenway, we go down 8-5 on a night when Matsuzaka was
wild and was having control issues. Giambi had a chance to
get some runs in in the later inning but flyed out to center.
Later in the 8th, he hit a solo homer but not enough for this
game. Robbie Cano went 0-5 with runners on base each time. He
is struggling big time with a 170 avegarge. Molina ended up
leaving the game with a hamstring issue and Posada came in to
catch and didnt even attempt to throw runners out with his
strained shoulder. So Girardi in the off season called
everyone individually and asked everyone to come in shape to
spring training to avoid the injuries that plagued everyone
last year. Well it seems it is still not working. Perhaps we
are getting much older and this is us now, injury prone? Or
is it that we may start baseball too early and teams,
especially in the East, have to deal with the cold weather
and are prone to getting injured? Whatver the case, Jeter is
expected to return today and that should add to the moral and
get things going. So Are the Yankees in trouble? It is till
too early to determine if the Yanks are in trouble or if the
Orioles are for real. Bottom line is Boston last year didnt
so well well in the beginning of the year and ended up strong
so we still have time and adjustments to make. How much time
is the question. Lets see what Girardi has in his bag of
tricks. Lets Go Yankees!!!!
