    When the 2012 season was just opening, you may remember I thought the outlook for the Trenton Thunder was not particularly good. After a disappointing 2011, Trenton looked to have many of the same faces, with the bulk of the Yankees’ best prospects slated to spend the year in Single-A and the loss of some of their big pitchers to Empire State. Boy was I wrong. Trenton put together a very strong 2012 season, and as those key prospects will be working their way up the next couple years, they could be in for a few good years. The Thunder went 79-63, winning the Eastern Division in the Eastern League and securing a playoff spot. They beat the Reading Phillies in the first round, but lost to the strong pitching of the Akron Aeros in the Finals.

    The New York Yankees will never win a game again. Okay, that’s not true. They’ll win another game at some point (maybe even this season!), but it sure doesn’t feel like this team can buy a win right now. Tonight started out well enough with a home run by Robinson Cano in the very first inning but, wouldn’t ya know it, that would be the extent of the Yankees’ offense, and two runs just ain’t going to cut it with Freddy Garcia on the mound. Tampa Bay knocked Garcia around in the middle of his outing for five runs, and wound up winning the game from the Yankees by a score of 5-2. Worse still, the Orioles demolished Toronto, so the night ends with the Yanks and O’s in a dead even tie for first place in the A.L. East. Let’s try to grind out a recap, shall we?
