They lose 11-2 to the Mets and then their very next game, they lose 12-2 to the O's. WTF is up with that?

Whatever it is, I hope it sticks around. hee hee

    It happens. Funny how when the Giants or some other team gets spanked like that it isn't news.

    Understand, I hate the Yank-mees just as much as most. I just don't see how two games make a season.

        Yep. Although they started off slowly last season too and caught fire after the All-Star game. Never underestimate the Evil Empire!

          On April 30, 2007, the NY Spankees stood at 9 & 15 in last place, 6 games behind the Sox. On May 29, 2007, they were 21 & 29 (.420), tied for 4th place, 14.5 games out. May 22, 2008, they are 21 & 25, 8 games out, last place, with a seemingly MUCH longer road to redemption this year than last.

            Understood, but it's a long season. Yes the Spankees look rudderless right now, but that could change. Tampa is off to a great start for them but that could change too.

            Wasn't it Tommy Lasorda who said, "Nobody cares what you do in April?" Or in this case, May. :)

      I never said 2 games makes a season.

        True enough. I meant to say that every team gets their ass handed to them once in awhile. In the Giants' case this year it seems to happen oh about once a week or so. *g*
