Whatever the Yankees do
These days, it isn’t enough;
Even .500 ball is a challenge.
It’s gotten so bad in the Bronx
That even the ghost of Phil Rizzuto,
Ever aura of the positive,
Is thinking about haunting new digs.
Reviving the Art of Baseball Doggerel
Scooter is probably yelling UN-Holy Cow and streaking for cover like he did around each 7th inning or before lightning storms. Yanks need more lefty batters and a running game, which Brett Gardner can no longer provide nor can Tyler Wade (reassigned to Triple A, couldn’t hit very well anyway) and Rougned Odor can’t do it all on his own.
