Like SU hoops legend Derrick Coleman used to say "whoopdee dam do". We know the Yankees can bludgeon the crap teams on the schedule. Win the two series Sept. 2 - Sept. 7 when they play Houston and Toronto and I'll start to believe.
1-37 for a professional hitter and starting SS for the most valuable franchise in baseball.
That’s baseball…..?
Cashman's ego really isn't doing Volpe any favors right now.Volpe's 1-37 streak is soooooooooooooooooo close to being the worst in Yankees history over an 11 game stretch.
A 1-38 streak holds down the record though in spite of Volpe's best efforts. Although most of those people collected walks and RBIs during their streaks of suck.
Volpe has neither.
When I was following the game last night, I believe he came to bat late in the game with either the bases loaded, or maybe two on, in a lopsided game, and thought, “This will be when he hits a home run. Meaningless production. Such a Volpe thing to do.” Glad I was wrong…I think…1-37 for a professional hitter and starting SS for the most valuable franchise in baseball.

Gil Hodges ended the 1952 season with four hitless games, then went 0-21 in a seven game World Series, and the borough of Brooklyn responded by praying for him. That was a different time.Cashman's ego really isn't doing Volpe any favors right now.
"He wants to defend Trump's agenda." You're just a mark, Teixiera.![]()

I guess he is as dumb as he looks.
That is sadly because you don't know what a lot of people actually thought about him--and his hitting struggles, or would say if they could have done so anonymously. Agreed, it was a different time, but not because it was a kinder, gentler world. Can you imagine a message board for the Dodgers, and what that would have been like for Mr. Hodges? Or, for a certain teammate? A truly interesting discussion would be: Which situation is better?Gil Hodges ended the 1952 season with four hitless games, then went 0-21 in a seven game World Series, and the borough of Brooklyn responded by praying for him.

I took no offense. Those are great questions worth pondering. I'll just say many people would like to turn back the clock these days, and a lot of them want to do it for the wrong reasons.That is sadly because you don't know what a lot of people actually thought about him--and his hitting struggles, or would say if they could have done so anonymously.

Okay, that's enough. By the way, this is not a personal attack br801 as much as I was making a sociologic observation.
