Enough Already

OK. My pre-season trash-talking was once again fruitful. The Yanks are in the cellar and off to their usual April start. Red Sox fans can begin the Spring with high hopes yet again only to have them crushed in June. Randy is still whining over his departure from the desert and he will never be a NY favorite, but his stuff looks pretty good overall. The offense is hot/cold and they need to start producing when the pitching is off. Why do the bats only dominate when the starter is having a great game? Shouldn't it be the other way around? I never understood that with the Yankees. Mariano looked in his usual form today against the Jays, but his much needed relief in the middle has been less than dominant. Prediction: the ball will start rolling and the typical demise of the Orioles and Sox will start in usual fashion. Yanks need to stop messing around or there may be an embarrassing George-moment before May.
