    Anyone else losing sleep because the recent play by the Yankees?

    Last night, I was up until 2 AM, tossing and turning, over their loss to the Twins. Ditto three days ago when they lost to the Angels.

    Know how some people count sheep when they can’t sleep? Well, I count by Yankees…using uniform numbers – either the current Yankee, retired number, or the last Yankee to wear that number…like this:

    Billy Martin
    Derek Jeter
    Babe Ruth
    Lou Gehrig
    Joe DiMaggio
    Joe Torre
    Mickey Mantle
    Yogi & Dickey
    Roger Maris
    Phil Rizzuto
    Brett Gardner
    Ivan Rodriguez
    Alex Rodriguez
    Wilson Betemit
    Thurman Munson
    Whitey Ford
    Justin Christian
    Johnny Damon
    Chad Moeller……….etc.

    Most times, I’m sleeping by Abreu or Matsui. But, even that didn’t work last night.

    Man, I’m tired today. How about you?

      I run myself so ragged, I don’t have that problem. I managed to fall asleep during the Phils-Dodgers game on ESPN

      Honestly? I’ve stopped watching for now, the games aren’t enjoyable anymore. When they go into a funk like the past week or so, I usually just check the score on the computer every few innings, and then tune in towards the end if I’ve finished my to-do list.

      I haven’t lost sleep over a regular season game too often — however, ask me how much sleep I got after game 7 of the ’04 ALCS. And I didn’t even finish watching that one!

      I watched the whole thing. Felt like I had to.
