Our boys are in need of a swift kick in the ass. They are a couple of games over .500, slightly better than the disappointing fellas in Boston, Detroit, and Anaheim.

Perhaps being home will help (for Mark Teixeira, maybe a night off will do it). But if they don’t start playing competitive, engaging ball, they are sure to hear the Bronx boo birds.

Ah, never mind the pessimism, we know what awaits them if they continue to stink. In the meantime, here’s root-root-rootin’ ’em on:

Yanks play the Blue Jays for the first time this year. They’ll play two games up in Toronto.

Meanwhile, Marc Carig writes that the Yanks have enough pieces in the bullpen to get to Soriano in the 9th.
