Rocket crashes Yanks back to .500...



The savior isn't living up to his namesake just yet... The mighty Rocket can't play the role of stopper and prevent the sweep. Off to a 1-2 record with a 4.86 ERA isn't exactly what you bargained for? Nice crash Roger...


It's been a quiet a few days now that the Yanks "recharged" offense has sputtered to 5 runs over 3 games. Isn't Colorado the home of home runs? What an embarassing performance. Looks like that big push to get back in the AL East race is back to a goof. Must be frustrating to reel off 9 straight and then serve up a 3 game sweep.

It's back to status quo for the 2007 bombers - dancing near the .500 mark and double digits behind the leader. But don't worry Yanks fans, they'll put toghether a win streak here or there just enough to keep you interested. Then they'll tank it once you're riding high.





By the way, ESPN is taking shots at your team. Great front page & article on the woes of Pavano. Ouch...

Enjoy the rest of 2007...

oh, and one more thing - where were you when the Yankes took 2 out of 3 from the Mets and the Sox got bombed by the Rockies?

Your team is essentially a .500 team. Should there be a picture of Torre, Cashman, and Georgie hugging at all their success?

The Mets are awful right now - so what's the big deal.

And exactly who got bombed by the Rockies? Swept even?

Just a side note to anonymous -- in case you forgot b/c you have this site noted as a favorite, you're on the nychoke.com page -- what else did you expect? You're below .500 close to mid way -- do you expect praise?

Yeah, the Yankees aren't doing near as good as I expected them too... after that little win streak, it looked like things might look up... but alas. By the way, when you write a new blog post, go over to BeTheRef.com and post a link to your story, and hopefully get a little extra traffic.
