Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Rays on winning their franchise record 71st game. Yes this team has been so awful that 71 is the record, and they set the record on August 10th. Think about it, if they lose from now until football season this will still be their best year ever. They can end on a 45 game losing streak and still have their best season ever. That’s awful.
While the Rays cruise to the AL East title, Yankee Panic has set in. The Yankee fans that were always confident (and correct) that Joe Torre would find a way, do not have the confidence that Joe Girardi will. The wild card isn’t that far out of reach, but you can tell the Yankee Fans know deep down that it isn’t going to happen. Wouldn’t it be something if the Formerly Brooklyn Dodgers won it all.
You’ve seen the last of Ian Kennedy. They didn’t like his awful performance and they sure as heck didn’t like his comments afterward. He joins the Rotation of The Damned with Kei Igawa.
This time next year Hank, Girardi, Jim Hall and Manny Ramirez will all be playing across the street from the ghosts.
