There is a flash flood watch in the metro New York area due to all of the recent rain. And SU has just issued a No Hitter Alert for tonight’s Yankee game with Seattle. Felix Hernandez will be on the hill for the Mariners and SU is feeling that perfect storm of Yankee offensive ineptitude with a “tip your hat” performance as the hitters throw in the towel early on. Why the pessimism you ask?
- Brett Gardner is either red hot or ice cold. Lately, he be very cold.
- Stephen Drew has been benched the last 2 games but SU believes Girardi is feeling guilty and will put him back in the line up tonight. His hit projections for June are on the 6th, 14th and 25th.
- It will be cool and damp in Seattle. Girardi may be thinking of giving A-Rod a day off which makes it even worse.
- While as SU subscriber S. Goldman points out that the Yankees are 4th in runs scored, it feels like a lot of that offense came back in late April and early May.
SU has been wrong before but it’s important to be bold. History could be made tonight.
Sports Update Intergalactic 
If I’m not mistaken, the last time SU predicted a no hitter by the Yankees’ opposing pitcher, Derek Jeter ripped a double on the first pitch of the game. Sounds like more gloom and doom to me. Might be worth a bet on the Yankees tonight.
Good memory! Justin Verlander on the hill on that one. My gloom and doom are justified. Time will tell.
This is the kind of guy who generally gives the Yankees difficulty

You mean totally unfamiliar to their hitters. I think that has been the case in years past. This year’s team is inept against all pitchers – less of a factor. But after I crashed and burned last night, what do I know?
