sorry to hammer home a point. but you just cannot compare this guy to cliff lee. it is not even close.

I don't think people are comparing. not saying he's light out. But we'll take it for a rookie.

The last Yankee to hit his first two home runs in the same game was Shane Spencer on August 7, 1998 in the second game of a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals in a game I had free field level seats for at the Old Stadium.

That was a crazy two months when he came up.

I remember that game, he was 5-for-5 in a 14-2 win. It was a week when the Yankees went from 80 to 90 wins by blowing everybody out.

That was a magical team. It seemed like every time they won, they blew someone out, even if it was close. Just the way they played made it seem like that.

i love reading stories about that season. they dropped their first 4 or 6 games of that season in embarrassing fashion?

cone stepped up in the locker room after the losing streak and tore everyone a new asshole. from that point forward they put together the best record baseball as ever seen (at the time of course).

Yeah, they played like the worst team you can possibly see play those first games.

It still is the best record in baseball that'll probably never be broken, 125-50.

if you include post season. but i think seattle beat them out for the best regular season record sometime in the early 2000's?

Yeah, 2001, but Seattle tied the Cubs' record for most regular season wins.

Johnny Abruzzo

1906 Cubs were 116-36. But lost WS to the hitless wonders - the White Sox. Imagine that.

As great as that 1998 team was, you have to admit the 2000 team probably ranks in the bottom 5 of all-time World Champions. I was at the game when they "clinched" the division (i.e. by having the crappy Red Sox lose while they were getting blown out in Camden Yards). As strong as the AL East is these days, it was shitty that year. But, they still won it, so I gotta give 'em credit.
