Back To School for the N.Y. Yankees

Win: to gain the victory; overcome an adversary

Momentum: an impelling force or strength

Spark: anything that activates or stimulates; inspiration or catalyst


Maybe the Yankees don't know what a win is. Or maybe they don't know what momentum is. Is it the word Spark that is confusing them? I just don't know. But the fact that the Yankees can not go on some kind of winning streak is very problematic for the N.Y. Yankees. If they want any chance of making it to the playoffs, they need to start winning consecutive games. The Yankees need to carry with them at least one of the three terms above but they really go hand in hand. The Yankees do not have any of those. They do not have wins, momentum, or a spark. I would love to just sit here and blame Torre or the pitching staff and whatever else the problem is, but I have a radio show for that. :) But seriously speaking this offense should be capable of winning games no matter how good their pitching staff is. And speaking of my radio show you can ask my co-host Evan, I predicted Jeter's ground out to Short Stop last night. The thing is though, I knew I'd be right. Thats all he does, ground out to short. Heading into June 5th's game Jeter is 3 for his last 27 but the Yankees have scored 35 runs in that span. This offense needs to start playing like they are capable or they will all be bought out.
