Cute.
Some silver lining moments in an awful season so far:
Chamberlain's 12 strikeout performance. He showed what he's capable of when his head is in the game. Too bad he threw 5 2/3 innings instead of 4 2/3.
Rivera is still Rivera. If they can get the ball to him, the game should be pretty safe to stay in the W column.
Cano is back with a vengence.
So is Cabrera.
Hughes might be.
Tex just might be waking up from his season long slumber.
If we can get through this year with some growth for the kiddies, I can call this year a success. I know most fans, the Steinbrenners and almost everyone else in the world would say anything short of a playoff appearance/world series victory would be a failure, but I'm not that picky. If we emerge from this season with Hughes and Chamberlain being solid starters, a couple of the kiddies settling down in the pen and Cano/Cabrera being reliable parts of the lineup, I'd say we'd be setup pretty nicely for next season.
And no, I'm not writing off this season yet. CC and Tex haven't woken up yet (they will), A-Rod hasn't hit anything yet (he will), and I truly believe the kiddies in the bullpen will settle down once we get more innings from our starters (they will).
