Welcome To Case's Column
Let me say a big welcome to all of you for joining me here. I'm going to call these blog meetings Case's Column. I wanted to use "Corner", but that was already taken.
Since 2008, it's been a real privilege to come on here and share some of my life with you, and it's a big world where we live.
In these blogs, I'll just speak whatever is on my mind, but we will be playing within the rules here. I may pick a particular topic, point out an event, or shoot the breeze. I'm a little bit of an essayist at times, so I'll just speak what's on my mind, and I might tell a story or two. Or, I might spew out an opinion or three. There will be some serious moments, some tender, some poignant, but there will also be those moments that you'll just bust out laughing. But, hopefully, everything will be in good fun here. And, of course, there's a place below for your comments and thoughts as we go along here. So feel free to join me for the ride -- I sure as heck hope I'm doing this right and not making any mistakes.![Stick Out Tongue](https://pics3.city-data.com/forum/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Thanks for taking your time in reading Case's Column. Hopefully, you'll enjoy being entertained by it as much as I've enjoyed putting these writings together. And thanks for the time you spend in City-Data.com, where it's great to be alive!
Regards,

Could Severino's Elbow Be The Yankees' Achilles Heel?
Posted 02-22-2020 at 07:05 PM by case44
Baseball is getting going again, but in the case of the New York Yankees, injuries are providing a stop in the acceleration.
Amidst reports that pitcher James Paxton is recovering from having a cyst removed from his back and outfielder Aaron Judge is battling a sore shoulder, we have pitcher Luis Severino, who just started throwing again following some nagging forearm soreness from last year's playoffs. Well, guess what just came back? Severino has arm soreness again. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said a few days ago that there may be something loose in his elbow. We'll see. I allege it may be that, but Severino denies it. He could miss time again.
Why am I mentioning this now? Because the Yankees and my Houston Astros are expected to go far into the playoffs again and they could be playing again in this year's American League Championship Series. Will Gerrit Cole save the Yankees? If Severino cannot recover from this arm problem, then just Cole might not be enough for the time to end their championship drought.
I'll put my prediction column in in due course.

Better add Giancarlo Stanton to the list of questionables. It's his calf.
