Weekend Readings – Masahira Tanaka vs Apple?
– IntelligentSpeculator.net
Crazy how the world works. This amazing catch by the Yankees when they signed Masahiro Tanaka is basically saving their season.. but despite 15 or so extremely high quality starts, as soon as he ended up losing a 2nd game, giving 3 earned runs in 7 innings, the bets are on for what this means and if it’s the start of his demise. Just feels like so many people can’t wait for things to crash down… right Apple? I know I’m a believer in Apple and in Tanaka:)General Stock Readings
