Yankees Limp Out Of Bronx

The New York Yankees dropped 2 out of 3 against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium as they head to Kansas City for a 4 game series against the Royals. The three game series against the Orioles saw poor pitching and poor hitting. The Yankees only scored 3 runs against the young Orioles. The height of ineptitude was being defeated by Brian Matusz, who had not won a game in a year.

Mark Teixiera is having one of his typical slow starts and Robinson Cano is struggling big time leaving the Yankees middle of the lineup totally unproductive. The starting pitching has been brutal and tonight will send rookie David Phelps to the mound to face the young Royals. You would think that the Royals would be the perfect tonic for the Yanks. But without Nick Swisher in the lineup, weak production from the 3-4-5 hitters and getting no production from Russell Martin, it's difficult to know what to expect. It's still early, but something needs to turn around soon or the natives in Yankeeland are going to be looking for some scapegoats. Brian Cashman and Joe Girardi anyone???
