June 4th vs. The Rangers
You probably know one of my favorite baseball truisms:
Each season, every big league team is going to win 60 games, no matter what, and, every big league team is going lose 60 games, no matter what – and it’s what they do in the other 42 games that will define their overall record.
Well, today was one of those “other 42 games.” And, it’s nice to get a win in one of those – always nice.
Thank you Teixiera and Melky! Good job by the Yanks pen too.
Yanks have now won 8 of their last 13 games. If they did that over a full season, it would net 100 wins. Can’t ask for a better pace than that, right?
Of course, there is the issue of Wang’s performance today…but, I believe we have to see at least one more start from him before we really know anything on Worm Killer…
It’s 8 of 13 if you choose to start the calendar with the 1st game of the Phillies series. Glass half-empty; no surprise there.
Better paces to start counting from exist….
It’s 7 of 10 (113 wins) if you start after that series. That’s better than 100 wins.
It’s 17 of 22 (125 wins) if you choose to start at the 9-game winning streak. 125 wins. That’s…unpossible.
wow no mention of luck? Kudos.
We gotta get this Melky guy back into the playoffs, stat!
raise your hand if you really want to see Wang start in Fenway
Because that could be a bloodbath
