Down 0-9, Yankees Come Back To Beat Boston, Phil Humber Tosses Perfect Game
What a great game it is! Fox Saturday baseball could not have delivered a more enjoyable show today. After the Yankees trailed 0-9 behind another shameful start from Freddy Garcia… I started doing school work.

With the recent news that Sabathia will remain in pinstripes for at least the next five seasons, Brian Cashman who also just signed an extension (for three years) can turn his attention to other offseason priorities, but those priorities will continue to revolve around the starting rotation (you like that pun there?).

As hard to swallow as that might be (made a bit easier … Continue reading
