    They may as well weld the roof closed for good if they are not going to open it in March.

    Beating the Astros at home is so easy that even the Space Cowboys can do it.

    Jung was ruled to have swung at the pitch... adding insult to injury. Biggio would never.

    So... because the team struggled consistently with hitting / producing runs at home (in '23), can someone please explain to me who the %OBP, run-producing, contact-hitter was brought in to address this problem or raise the ceiling of the lineup???

    The way I see it is the Yankees never happened. We are 1-1 to start the season and those 4 losses will work itself out later.

    It's like getting a speeding ticket and you just pull money from savings to pay for it to move on. It may sting a bit later but in the long run you may never miss it.
