Last night Bob Boone passed Billy Martin to move into seventh place for victories for Yankee managers with 567. The next ahead of him is Joe Girardi with 910, so that will take a few years. Since the start of the live ball era, the Yankees have had ten managers who have managed at least 300 games. They all have winning records. And Boone did it without being fired five times… |

Aaron drew the short straw on talent, but maybe this might be his year. There are no 1998 Yankee teams out there this season. No juggernauts, no vaunted lineups. |

I thought the Dodgers might be that team, but like the Yankees the bottom part of that order has been pretty weak. The Orioles may have the most balanced lineup top to bottom, but no one-two punch like Soto and Judge or a HOF trio at the top like the Dodgers. |

Last night Bob Boone passed Billy Martin to move into seventh place for victories for Yankee managers with 567. The next ahead of him is Joe Girardi with 910, so that will take a few years. Since the start of the live ball era, the Yankees have had ten managers who have managed at least 300 games. They all have winning records. Everybody was hyping the Dodgers as some type of "super team" heading into the season, but they have several holes in their lineup. Yeah, they took 2/3 from us, but the Yankees were definitely feeling the lack of Soto in the lineup, left a lot of guys on base, and the Dodgers got a superhuman series from Teoscar. In reality, we were probably an executed bunt away from flipping it to 2/3 in our favor. Philadelphia is playing really well, but I don't see the star power there outside of Harper, who isn't in Judge or Soto's league as far as consistent production. Baltimore will be a tough out. I think they present our biggest potential October challenge. If the Yankees stay relatively healthy, they should be in a very good spot to get another ring. Sitting 27 games over five hundred approaching mid-June without even getting a single start out of Gerrit Cole yet is absolutely remarkable. What's more, outside of Gil, I don't see anybody playing wildly above their normal self. Guys like Rodon, Stroman, Holmes are definitely pitching like the very best version of themselves, but they've done it before. Volpe seems to be progressing as you'd expect a talented young player to. What's more, we're getting little production out of the corner infield spots, so if they can find an upgrade at at least one of those positions, we're going to be ina really, really good spot. |

I used to semi joke that the reason Boone cut down so many trees was that he was trying to get the hell out of there. The locals didn’t understand. Much of my comedy fell flat there. Sort of like here… 🤓 |

Yeah, sanitized Little Richard doesn't work. He was more in his lane with "Love Letters In The Sand." Not a huge Pat Boone fan, but he sang the opening song for the movie "Friendly Persuasion" ..."Thee I Love" which I did and still do like. |
