Sorry about the lack of posts

I've had a lot going on the last few days, so I haven't really had much of a chance to post. Fortunately, there hasn't been a whole lot of good stuff about which to write. Jeter's hurt and out of game action all together; he likely will miss the opener against Boston. Posada hurt his shoulder and can't catch. The team is having trouble putting runners on base, and, when the do reach scoring position, they can't get the big hit. I don't know how many times this year they've been one big hit from breaking a game open but haven't been able to do it.

Even the weather has been against the Yankees. Hughes fought through cold and windy conditions while also fighting himself. Kennedy was scratched because of a rain delay that never came (though it probably should have), forcing a string of relievers to pitch the early innings.

Eventually the offense will turn things around, but this team is really frustrating to watch right now. I really thought that Girardi's boot camp style spring training would help prevent the slow starts of the last few years, but it really hasn't. There not as bad off as they were last year, but they're just kind of middling along right now.

It's too early to really be concerned; all is not lost. 5-5 records over 10 game stretches happen to even the best teams. The fact that it's the start of the season sort of magnifies it. The same goes for Robbie Cano; he seems to just be a slow starter. Before long, he'll turn it up, along with the rest of the offense. And when this team does get hot, watch out. I have a feeling they're going to do it in a big way.
