Let's start off in the Bronx. 0 and 2. Increasing unhappiness with a stadium few have actually been in. Craig Carton doing his best Mad Dog impression this morning to start Yankee Panic…
Yankee fans are already pulling out the "it's only two games" rap (up from its only one game). Not what they expected.
However that's the right sentiment. It's a long season – but Bobby Valentine taught us all that you don't want to dig a hole too early.
I wouldn't call today a "must win" but you also don't want to have to sweep KC to get back to .500
Meanwhile in Flushing, the scary bullpen has distracted everyone from how awful Pelfrey was. This is not the Pelfrey we are looking for.
That first inning was as bad as it gets. However, I give the man credit for sticking around long enough to win and long enough that Jerry didn't have to completely exhaust the bullpen.
Day games for both today. A Mets win with Flaky Ollie would be nice – but the Reds are a soft opponent so I expect him to be awful….and A.J. Burnett will either prove that he was worth the money or that George Steinbrenner doesn't have any "statements" left in him.
Where's Hank by the way? They've hidden him well.
Yankee fans: cautiously optimistic due to lack of wins.
Mets fans: cautiously optimistic due to past scarring.
