YANKEE FANS LIKE THE YANKEES. WE HAVE NO INTEREST IN YOUNGER SIBLINGS TAKING MORE RISK. WE WANT TO HEAR ABOUT TEX'S MONSTER SERIES AGAINST THE NEW YORK "JAYVEE" METROPOLITANS.
Fear not Yankee fans, for I, Mike, am here. I will analyze the heck out of everything about this "Tex Message" to Yankee fans that he is still alive.
For those of you who did not hear about Marky Mark's Monster weekend, he single handedly destroyed the Metros. A two run shot yesterday to put away New York's JV team and a grand salami today, absolutly wrecking Johan Santana.
While I've said this about 3 times this season, Tex is back. I said it after his 3 home run game against the Evil Empire. I said it when he hit a big 3 run home run a few weeks back against Cleveland. But now, I think things are going to turn around Big Mark.
Things have been changing for Mark "Legs" Teixeira since his 5 strikeout game against Toronto on June 5th. That game was a travesty. Since then, his OBP is up above his career average, and the desired .400 mark. His BA, while below his career average, is about .05 higher than this season's average. Since June 5th, his slugging percentage is up an astonishing .15 points, to .549. These numbers don't even include today's game, which he slammed the Mets on his own.
So, can everybody shut up about Tex crashing? He's fine. It was an extended slow start that will bring his finial numbers down. But I think he's going to go on a thrash for the rest of the season. Look for some pretty good things from Mark Man for the rest of the year.
Mark, I know you're a techno-phobe (similar to Liz). But we have some questions for you. How long are your legs? Also, send us a picture?
