Yankees concerned about players getting too drunk in clubhouse

Everyone is wondering why the New York Yankees are off to such a sluggish start and playing unlike the usual League's Elite. The esteemed organization has placed a ban on booze in the Yankees' and visitors clubhouse. Wow, this franchise is now blaming alcohol for their insufficient play on the field. Gee, I wonder how long the prohibition will last? This comes at a time when Roger Clemens returns to his old team. Somehow the 44-year-old will get blamed for a random incident behind closed doors such as allegedly supplying his teammates with horse pills and ecstasy mixed together in tequila shots.

Distractions like this are only going to cause the Yankees more problems and effect their play. One night A-Rod comes out swinging hard at the plate and the next game he stumbles on his way to the plate then topples to the ground. The sames goes for Derek Jeter too. On a sure double play the shortstop will pause then proceed to throw the baseball a good 50 feet from second base. Who knows what guys like Jason Giambi might do...go on a rampage, throwing crap everything after a heated exchange between the home plate umpire after a called strike 3.

At current New York is 14-16, only 1 game ahead of the Devil Rays. Tonight they face the Rangers at Yankee Stadium. The beer will only be flowing in the stands as I know the unruly fans will let their team from the Bronx hear it if they fail to produce. I can only imagine the trash talk which will ensue as well as the off-color signs in attendance. Still Roger Clemens should receive a warm reception...well until the hecklers turn their hostility on the rest of the team.
