The buffoonery they had earlier

Tampa Bay Devil Rays DH Jonny Gomes is quoted as saying, "The buffoonery they had earlier, that was something else. But they're the Yankees and they're here now. They mean business. And they're not taking no for an answer."

I like "buffoonery" here. The background is that the Yankees were awful against the cellar-dwelling D-rays until last week's sweep, leaving NY 1.5/0.5 back in the division/wild-card races. Very exciting end of the season. See here for a pre-season prediction. Now one can find million-season simulations for the remaining sixteen or so games, but I'm opting to watch reality unfold.
