And the two teams who clinched spots were the Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds, both NL teams from the East and [...]

New York Yankees: Why I hope you lose again tonight in Toronto
May 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Watching the New York Yankees lose 8-1 to the Toronto Blue Jays last night has been no different from the other eight losses Yankee fans have had to endure this May. Hiroki Kuroda stunk, as he gave up three homers, seven earned runs in five innings pitched but that didn’t really bother me. Would I have liked to see [...]
