Spring Training in July!

The texts started coming in when the Red Sux scored in the 2nd inning.

“Yankees are losing.”

I have a few friends who have been relentless in this car crash of a season.

But the thing is, the Yankees were going to be hard-pressed to score as their lineup was absolutely ridiculous.

Three guys took their first at-bats of the year.

Two of the starting outfielders were batting less than .190. The other one was making his major league debut.

A spring training lineup in a game that they really needed to win.

Takes a whole lot to get into such a predicament.

There are at least 6 guys felled by positive Covid tests. The early reporting is that 5 of them had been vaccinated.

There weren’t any real symptoms.

To top it off, the starting first-baseman somehow got hurt over the all-star break.

All year long!

Actually, for the second or third year in a row…

…the players can’t stay on the field!

And I don’t get it.

News broke yesterday that Tom Brady played the entire season with a completely torn MCL.

His team won the super bowl.

This Yankees team is filled with guys on the injured list, literally, for sneezing!

This generation of players don’t seem capable of playing ten games in a row.

“We thought it was a good time to get him a day of rest,” the manager said about one player a couple of weeks ago.

That happened the day after an open day in the schedule!

Mickey Mantle played his entire career with a torn ACL!

Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50 minutes per game one year in a sport where the games are only 48 minutes long!

He’d play every minute of every game, including overtime!

“They suck!” My buddy texted.

He’s been waiting nearly 30 years to bash me about a poor Yankees team.

I sent him a photo of a gorilla flipping the bird.

It’s all I had.
