Jose Cano played six games for the Houston Astros in 1989, but his greatest memory on a major league baseball field came Monday -- even if it did feel more like his back yard in the Dominican Republic. With Jose tossing pitches "inside and low," son Robinson Cano of the...

One of the many things I share with my dad is a love for baseball's most legendary team, the New York Yankees. If the mere mention of anything Red Sox makes your dad's blood boil, then give him one of these Yankees themed gifts on father's day.

It was spring time, the sun was shining, and the crowds were cheering. I was at a New York Yankees game. I don't remember who they were playing, and it didn't matter. It was my very first baseball game. My father took me and my siblings, while my mother stayed home.

I grew up in a predominantly New York Yankees-fan town in central New Jersey. My dad was born in Bronx, but his grandfather was a diehard New York Giants (baseball) fan. Thus, when the Mets came to Queens, he became a Mets fan. In turn, I am a diehard Mets fan. The following list comprises the New York Mets top five Opening Day moments in the history of the franchise (in descending order). 5). 1986 vs. Pittsburgh Pirates The Mets had finished in second place two years in a row, but this year was going to be something different.

I was introduced to the New York Yankees at a young age because of my dad. I grew up being a fan and in '03 I went to the Big Apple for my senior trip and watched a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. Although I've never been to a spring training game, I think it'd be a really fun experience and I'd definitely like to go sometime. Spring training is the time for working on player's weaknesses, building on their strengths, and just ironing out any wrinkles when it comes to offense, defense, and even management.

Let’s take a look at tonight’s defining moment:

Robinson Cano doesn’t run hard on a base hit to center to lead off the second inning, but still, somehow, winds up on third with no one out. Yet the Yankees fail to score as I-Rod pops out and Melky “Why isn’t Damon playing?” Cabrera grounds into a double play.

And that really seemed to be all she wrote as brand new dad, and latest Yankee-killer, Glen Perkins shutout the Bombers for eight innings.

It was pathetic…I think. To be fair I started to switch over to women’s beach volleyball and the Michael Phelps show over on NBC. Sure, I flipped back to the YES Network but it was only for a pit stop. The Yankees looked lost.

In fact, I’ve found myself doing that a lot recently. Like when the Yanks wasted Dan Giese’s six innings of one run ball this past Saturday. The Halos then pasted the bullpen for eight runs in the eighth inning which was about when I found myself curious about men’s archery.

Of course, it’s a rough patch in the schedule…but the Yankees have looked disgraceful against baseball’s best teams. In today’s game, a run in the second may have changed the complexion of a game against a guy who’s ERA against the Yanks so far this year was 9.00. But not today…not after Cabrera’s twin killing.  There was little doubt in my mind that they would roll over after that.

Is it all over for the Bombers? I’ve never been that much of an alarmist, so I don’t think the season’s lost. Still, this stretch could be what drowned the Yanks if we look back and see no playoff games in the Stadium’s final season.

The Yanks have two more against Minnesota before they can come home and bottom feed off the Royals on Friday. Before then, I hope I’m watching a little bit less of the Olympics.
