Yankee fans were held hostage at the Stadium Thursday. Relentless rain pounded the Bronx, delaying the start of the 1PM marque match up with the Washington Nationals. The greed machine kicked in and five hours crawled by. When it comes to contemptible exploitation of their loyal fan base, the Yankee organization knows no limit. Just when you thought it couldn't sink any lower, the game started.
The worst team, with the worst pitching kept the Bronx Bombers off their home board. Flat doesn't begin to explain it. (In fairness to the Nationals, they made an assortment of defensive plays that would make Ron Swoboda proud.)
Joba Chamberlain was in mediocre mode-- 6IP, 7 hits, 4 walks, 3 runs. July knocks on the door and the next big thing is a bullpen-draining work in progress. Speaking of the pen, they did the job with four shutout innings. Quality relief was wasted.
It was a bleak, forgettable night in the So. Bronx. The Yankee team will bounce back. Management, on the other hand, is wallowing in a bottomless pit of greed. Redemption will take a miracle.
