Another Red Sox game, another loss, another night for Yankees fans to panic.
I know how it works. Games against the Red Sox count for more than one for fans,
even if they still count for one in the standings. The Yankees have lost four
of five to the Sox so far this year, so clearly New York is in serious trouble,
right?
Come on, folks.
It's May 22. Check out the following stats:
2005: 4-5 in first nine games vs. Boston. Yankees win East.
2004: 1-6 in first seven games vs. Boston. Yankees win East.
2003: 4-4 in first eight games vs. Boston. Yankees win East.
2002: 1-5 in first six games vs. Boston. Yankees win East.
Is anybody seeing the trend here?
Yes, these early-season games mean something. After all, the Yankees only won
the division last year because they took the season series, 10-9. But it's
not like these games are the deciding factor on May 22.
The Yankees have been crushed by injury. Boston hasn't seen Sheffield yet, but
he'll be back on Tuesday. Boston hasn't seen Randy Johnson pitch well yet. Will
he? Who knows, but I'm still giving him the benefit of the doubt that he will
figure it out.
Wang's game wasn't great tonight, but he's been good enough in his last three
or four starts to not be concerned. Chacon's injury will basically cost him one
more start, so that's not the end of the world. Mussina is still pitching well,
and while many people refuse to acknowledge it, Wright has pitched pretty well
once he was inserted into the rotation on a regular basis.
Things aren't so bad. I know that isn't the conception out there for Yankees
fans (and please, please stop calling yourselves "Yankee Nation" ... the last
thing you need to do is to rip off the Red Sox), but it's true.
Given the absence of Matsui, Sheffield, Crosby, Sturtze and Chacon, as well as
day to day injuries to Giambi and Posada, I think the Yankees have been playing
pretty well. Not up to the caliber that they expect to play, but if they can
hold themselves above water until some guys get healthy, they'll be right where
they want to be in October.
Now, I have to get to bed. The New York-Boston media game is at Fenway on
Tuesday morning. New York is riding an eight-game winning streak, and T-Kep of
the Times will try to extend that to nine, making his third straight media game
start. Wish us luck.
有空的可以翻一下吧,但是基本上就是說到拜託別太過悲觀..列舉到前幾年基襪
每年幾乎都是前面幾場Boston贏...
