You can thanks the Nationals bullpen for coughing up the leads for the three game sweep. I'll take it . We need wins any which way we can.

Will enough of us be watching it? Last full game I watched was the 2008 game, my first Summer back in NY, and just found out I was getting a divorce.

For years all through our 20s and early 30s, me and my buddies used the game as an excuse for a mid week grill. Burgers, hotdogs, corn, steaks. For us the game was over after the intros.

Good job sweeping the Nats. Against a better team, though (i.e., one with a better bullpen), they would have been swept.

This series proves that the Yankees need to hire an additional manager for the first 7 innings of the game.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
