Bronx Bomber Ball

W hen the Yankees passed up on rotation aces David Price, Cole Hamels and Johnny Cueto it wasn’t because they didn’t want them, but because the Yankees had a gem of their own they weren’t willing to give up.

A fter being swept by the Blue Jays this weekend, the Yankees are now 2-7 against their AL East rival this season.   The funny thing is the 2-7 record is not the worst part. Yankees EVERDAY second baseman Stephen Drew is 3-for-24 against the Blue Jays this season. Let me repeat that DREW IS 3-for-24.

In the New York Yankees biggest series of the season, Yankee manager Joe Girardi needed to be better as the Yankees were swept by the Jays, and shut out in the final two games.  The Yankees came into the series with Toronto in first place, 4.5 games up on the Jays in the American League East and had 90 runs scored in their previous 10 games.  The Blue Jays on the other hand were 9-1 with newly acquired shortstop Troy Tulowitzki in the lineup and also added ace David Price at the July 31 st Trade Deadline. Throughout the series, Girardi made multiple mistakes and they proved to be crucial.
