P4. The New York Yankees

For my first choice blog of the week I am going to do like an update on the New York Yankees 2012 baseball season.  So far they've been like p and down all year.  I mean the first three games were in Tampa Bay to take on the Rays in the opening series of the year and we got swept in a poor effort right off the beginning if you ask me.  But then, we win four in a row and were looking good.  But overall it has been and up and down year through the first month of the season.  The pitching has been a little iffy at times and the hitting has been iffy at times, you never know what you'll get yet.  CC Sabathia is 3 and 0 so far this year so he's looking good.  Hiroki Kuroda who they brought in this year has been on and off.  One day he looks perfect and then the next he's awful.  And the sad thing is he leads the team with an ERA of 3.69.  That isn't very good if you'd ask me or anyone in that clubhouse.  He and the rest of that pitching staff needs to improve.  We lost Michael Pineda for the season which is a bad blow, and Freddy Garcia had to go to the bullpen because he is so bad.  David Phelps, long reliever for the Yankees has looked sharp and will make his first start tonight against the Orioles.  And Andy Pettitte will be coming to the Big leagues once again very soon hopefully.  But anyways were sitting 4th in the AL East, 3.5 games back.  That isn't that good enough but, I know it is still early and I'm looking forward to being in first at the end of the season.
