Afternoon Baseball

Common-sense ruminations on baseball and culture.


Where you have a franchise that has nary a clue what direction they're going, no drive to spend what's needed and no one who would know how to spend if they had it. Hiring Andy McPhail was a good step -- if he's allowed to do his job.

But while the Yankees have frustrations -- big-time ones -- at least they have a plan. Right?

Well, right now that plan has had them gain no ground in the AL East in the last month, pronounce Kei Igawa healed because he has "a new delivery," and Red Sox blogs opining on the philosophical problems (near the bottom) of the Yankees franchise.

So maybe the Yankees are more frustrating, because they give hope? Nah. I'll take vanquished hope over the why bother fate that bestows the Orioles post-1998.

Speaking of hope, thank goodness for the wild card, right? Or this season would have been a lost cause weeks ago.
