The Yankees are 1-3

[nickgutierrez]

How long can this go without an overly dramatic ESPN special entitled "What's Wrong With the Yankees?"

...only for them to be in first place come June 15th.

Oh, and the answer to that question? Too much money paid for freely available talent. End.

1. "nods"

No Yankee fan but I'm hearing you. Yankees started slow last year also . . . I remember all the gloom and doom predictions . . and then boom they were in first.

Four games is to early to decide how a season is going to go.

2. this is how the yankees season is going to go

On Sunday, they'll lose 7-1.

On Monday, they'll lose 8-3.

On Tuesday, they'll win 14-7.

On Wednesday, they'll lose 5-4.

On Thursday, they'll win 10-5.

On Friday, they'll win 9-7.

On Saturday, they'll lose 7-3.

and on and on.

They have horrible pitching and their bats will only carry them so far.

The Mets, on the other hand...

9. wrong

their pitching is just fine. The 1998 started 1-4. This team will be fine. Worry about your own team that hasn't won anything since I was in middle school.

3. And your point is?

It's April 8. Big deal.

4. So? It it only 4 games into the season

Plus, the Yankees always struggle in west coast games. They will be in first soon enough.

5. Yes, it kind of hard to take ESPN seriously at times

When they're functioning as nothing but a hype machine. Their talk of "must see" Monday night football games and the future of Barry Bonds would be easier to take seriously if the games, and a reality show starring Bonds, weren't going to be shown by--WAIT FOR IT!--ESPN.

6. Their pitching is terrible this year

but they will make moves and be in the thing to the end, probably taking the division, because their bats will keep them in every game.

[DaveinMD]

8. wrong

their pitching has been fine so far. They haven't scored at all in the games they've lost. The Yanks started 1-3 in 1998.

7. (Yawn!) I don't give a shit where they are in April. . .

I care where they are in September and October.

It's not when the grass is green that it matters...it's when the leaves turn brown.
