Tee-hee!<br /><br />Uncle Mike, it was actually AJ (or another Yank) who coined the term "Swishalicious". (This was mentioned about a month ago by Pete Abe, et al.)

And no whines from Joe Maddon.<br /><br />Teixeira, Swisher, Damon, Jeter... These are good hitters. It's not like the new Stadium is giving homers to banjo hitters. We're not talking about Jose Reyes here.<br /><br />Never thought Phil Hughes might be the answer to the pivotal question, "When the time finally comes, as we know it will someday, who succeeds Mariano Rivera as the closer?" I've thought it of Brian Bruney, Edwar Ramirez and Joba Chamberlain. But Hughes? If he can take what he did yesterday and keep it up, be '96 Rivera to current Rivera's '96 John Wetteland, fine with me.<br /><br />The Yankees are (mostly) healthy, they are hitting, they are playing good defense, they are getting good pitching, both starting and relief. While Joe Girardi isn't looking like a genius, he doesn't have to. He is getting the job done, and so is everybody else. Right now, I'm not upset with anyone on the team.<br /><br />Not even Phil Coke: Despite some games where it looks like he'd contracted whatever disease was left over in that Number 48 uniform from Kyle (Not a) Farnsworth, right now, even Coke is it.<br /><br />Now, the bad: Not a whole lot. The weather might mess up this Yanks-Sox series, as "Paul from Boston" suggested. This would wreak havoc with the pitching staff, from which no good can come. At the moment, it's not raining here, although we got drenched earlier. But I wouldn't bet a nickel on either Yanks-Sox or Mets-Phillies getting nine innings in tonight. And it's also supposed to rain on Thursday.<br /><br />And John Sterling... "Swisher-licious"? Seriously, John, I know the name isn't exactly manly, but you can do better. How about "A Swish in time!" At least "a Johnny Rocket" for Damon is better than "It's Damonic!"<br /><br />I want these three against the Sox. Real bad. I mean, really badly. Oh, this time, who cares about grammar (or even about speling), as long as we win?Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.com
