Maybe Not Zack

I've been talking about The Yankees picking up Kansas City starting pitcher Zack Greinke.

Well tonight I watched the slaughter that was Greinke vs. The Arizona Diamond Backs, I'm sure you can tell where this is going.

My boy Zack gave up 15 hits and 11 runs in just 4 1/3 innings!

That's just shy of a 23 ERA, and a WHIP of 3.926.

Ouch...

At least ex Dodger Shawn Green had a good night, he went 3 for 4 with a pair of Homeruns, 5 RBI's and a double, (all off Greinke). Green hadn't hit a Homerun in over a month.

Zack tried to help himself with a Homerun of his own, a solo shot in the fifth.

Not bad, maybe the Yankees are not the place for you, maybe a National League team where you can make use of that bat!

Zack has been solid up until this start. Not perfect, but he has quite a few quality starts, and even beat the Yankees in his last start. He went into this game with a 4.91 era, but this should put him over 6.00.

Greinke next start is either against The Dodgers and Derek Lowe, or The Astros and Roger Clemens. For Zack's sake, I hope he get the Astros, they never put runs on the board with Clemens pitching.

I mean geez, Clemens has a 1.667 ERA and is 4-3.

How do not go insane giving up less that 2 runs per start and you are barely over .500. Not only that, he has 12 starts so he only figured into 7 decissions.

The Astros offense Sucks.

I think I'd have a decent chance to win a game against Clemens, so Zack has a great chance. I hope he gets that matchup instead of LA.

Good luck Zack...
