Houseflies

You may be thinking, this is a Yankees blog right? What do houseflies have to do with the Yankees?First let me say yes, this is a Yankees blog, and second houseflies have everything to do with the Yankees. I'm not talking about musca domestica, the "common housefly" (Incidentally, it's a scientific fact that houseflies vomit on everything they land on, but I digress). No, I am referring to the "big fly" and specifically the big flies in the new "house that George built (Babe's first name was George and so is Boss Steinbrenners, so it works on two levels). In the first 4 games at the new park, 20 Homers were hit between the Yanks and the Tribe. Some have tried to pass it off as fluke, but it seems that after further research that the airy design at the new ballpark is creating a jet stream rather than the more common swirling effect, especially to right field (where 14 of the 20 HR's have gone).  Some have asked the question "what's the big deal? doesn't this help the Yankees?" at first these might seem good arguments, but the answer is a resounding "NO". The men in pinstripes are stacked with big time power, able to hit a home run at any park at any time, so it doesn't really help them. On the flip side, they've poured millions of dollars into a new pitching staff who will need all the help it can get. Statistics show that teams in pitchers ballparks have much more success in the regular and postseason than those who play in hitters parks. In short, the Yankees have a problem, balls are flying out with ease and we're still in July, I hate to see what will happen in the mid-summer. It's time for the suits to make some decisions and put up a wind net or something, but until then have fun watching the derby every time the Bombers take the field.
