Delta Dugout weekend is coming up
Nate’s Takes: Yankee Stadium, Posada, Montero, Joba, Nova
Wow what a terrible week for the Yankees. After losing two out of three to Eric Hosmer the Royals, the Yankees just never showed up to play versus the Red Sox. The Yankees find themselves two games back in the division and have allowed the Red Sox the opportunity to pass them in the standings in the next few days. A combination of not hitting, poor pitching and terrible defense has left fans wondering what this group of former all-stars has left.
Almost everyone in the lineup besides Curtis Granderson is having a down year and Jorge Posada has the worst batting average in baseball. What was supposed to be a lockdown bullpen has looked average at best and Yankee fans can’t help but wonder if changes are coming soon. Here is my take on the week.
Poll Results: Derek Jeter never left
Believe me, I was very close to posting something about Jeter’s demise in April. I mean, come on, he was hitting .206 nine games into the year.
But that was just it. Nine games is only one-eighteenth of the season. I told myself I would wait until the end of April to post about him. But when May 1 came, I was having trouble making an argument for why he was finished. That’s why when I saw the NY Post’s cover on May 9 I was shocked.

One small step for lenNY’s Yankees
I guess you could say I’m joining the dark side tomorrow.
I am working part-time for the Boston Globe's online sports department this summer. Yes, that means I will be heavily involved with the Red Sox, but I hope you aren’t disappointed in me. All this means is that I will know the Yankees’ rival better than I ever did before — even better than when I lived in New Hampshire for the first part of my life and had to defend myself from physical and verbal abuse every day.
