Bizarro AJ showed up today, and the Yankees never really bothered to get back in the game after that.
Oh, and it wasn't because they were overwhelmed by the stupendous pitching of John Danks.
7 hits and 4 BB over six innings before the White Sox bullpen came in and shut us down. Again.
I try to be an optimist, I really do. I believe this team is good enough to win a championship. But today was not encouraging. The bullpen looks gassed, and things are not going to get better any time soon. The Yankees are going to live or die with their rotation, and right now they're not just dying, but they're killing me, too.
3 in a row, and not the good kind of row.
