Enjoy your stay,

The Yankees had sailed through most of the first forth of the baseball season firing on all cylinders and being basically injury free, except for a catcher they traded for from Minnesota and pinch runner Tim LoCastro. However now the injuries and COVID list have hit them hard with two pitchers done for the season, and Giancarlo Stanton and Jonathan Loisaga on the injured list, and DJ LeMahieu injured as well. But last night they brought up rookie pitcher JP Sears from the minors to make his first major league start in front of his parents and girlfriend and he pitched five innings of shutout ball to get the win.

And fellow rookie Ron Marinaccio pitched two innings of shutout ball in relief as the Yankees won and still have the best record in baseball.

Oh the same day, the Mets started a rookie against the Giants, who gave up nine runs in less than two innings! The Mets scored 28 runs in three games and only won one of them! Having starters @#s 1, 2 and 3 all on the IL is beginning to take its toll.

I know you are joking br. But I also enjoy watching the “ugly” guys play too. But if they are cute, I get to combine two of my passions simultaneously.

Yes, that does make it greater.

Interesting fact going into Memorial Day: The Yankees have the best record in major league baseball and lead their division of 4 and 1/2 games, while the Mets are a few games behind in record but lead their division by 8 and 1/2 games! So the Mets' division lead is nearly twice as big as the Yanks'! Just an observation!

Quality sometimes is not the deciding factor in most all things in life.

Both Yankees and Mets in first place in their respective divisions at Memorial Day for first time in many years.

The Padres have a fight with the Dodgers I believe for first. Unfortunately their top player got injured. That has yet to play a part with the New York teams, which must not be over looked in the long arduous season that remains.

No question about it br. There are lot’s of interesting stories across the nation in baseball and yes it is a long arduous season indeed. NFL Football is 17 games, NBA is 82 and NHL is 82. MLB is 162. As has often been been said, the baseball season is a marathon and not a sprint. The storylines have been laid out, but as of now how things will finish is a mystery as the day by day twists and turns remain to be seen.

THe Yankees begin a most interesting series at the stadium today as they play the Angels with Ex-Yankees Andrew Velazquez and Tyler Wade return along with ex-Met Noah Syndergaard.









And of course superstars Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani are in town as well.





This should be a good series at the big ball park in The Bronx!!!

Before I leave for work on this ultra hot late May Day, I saw this beautiful image to me. Yankees turn me on the same way that believably straight young hot guys do. I am most definitely a very weird person. Lol

 

[br6205]

Well then, Mike, so am I!

Both Yankees and Mets in first place in their respective divisions at Memorial Day for first time in many years.

I just read a rating of all the teams of Major League baseball as of Memorial Day. The top three were Yankees, Dodgers, Mets! The Mets have two more home games versus the Nationals, but then a challenging road trip of four games at the Dodgers, three games at the Padres and three games at the Angels - all without their top three pitchers.
