Boy is there egg on my face. If no one recalls one of the recent posts on this blog, it completely bashed R.A. Dickey's performance this season. Again, the motivating skills of this blog are present once again. Dickey pitched six strong innings, with only one earned run off the Tex Message from Mark Teixeira in the third inning, and continued to make the Yankees look ridiculous last night by striking out six Pinstripes. And to add to the pitching, Justin Turner continued to add to his hot streak, going 3-4 with two doubles and the game tying RBI. The Yankees offense, however, still is a major story. Freddy Garcia throws seven innings and only two earned runs, and gets no run protection in return. This following Bartolo Colon's would be three hit shutout, turning into a blown save by Mo, ending in a 2-1 15 inning marathon game. I don't know where the Yankee hitting has gone, but it desperately needs to come back. Because right now, the last thing the Yankees need to do is get swept by their hometown rival Metropolitans. So, stock up right now? Justin Turner and the New York Mets. This guy along with the team have been hot for a awhile and realizing that they could compete in the NL East. And stock down? The Yankee Hitting. It has been too cold for too long and needs to comeback. Sure you could say that Thursday was quite the offensive showcase. But come one, when they put up a 15 spot on say, the Red Sox or the Rays, then we can make our speculations on the Offense. But right now, the Yankees hiding better than Waldo in a children's book.
