Sinking Ship
The Yankee ship is sinking as we speak. Matsui is likely out for the season. Sheffield is eligible to come off the DL on Sunday but according to Torre is more than a week away. Posada leaves the game with back stiffness. Bernie is out today due to a "tight muscle in his rump." Farnsworth left the game last night with tightness in the lower back. Sturtze is out for the season. Pavano is done (again) for the season. Bubba is on the DL with a hamstring. Not to mention, Mo has been far less than spectacular and Randy Johnson looks 53 as opposed to a young 43. The Yanks my friends are in serious trouble.This mess may be beyond repair -- Terrence Long and Richard Hidalgo are not going to fix this. This is an organizational problem by signing the likes of Pavano and Unit. I won't dwell but what happened to the days of Mickey Mantle playing with half broken legs. These Yankees are soft -- plain and simple. Come out of the game if you are injured but if you are simply hurting then be a man and play the game. Where are the Iversons of baseball???

I would have used a picture of the Poseidon- it cost about the same as our team's salary this year.
I think Mo's ineffectiveness is the most troubling aspect of all of this- without him consistently shutting the door, we have ourselves a disaster in the making. No, I understand he's only human and is still ten times better than most out there, but how often has this guy bailed us out in the past? We don't have that luxury anymore it seems. Will we get the Rocket back in pinstripes? Why the hell not, Unit is falling apart and we could use a little positive buzz in this town for a change.
At this point, Mo *is* Todd Jones. Good hitters are getting a good look at him.
If Sheff comes back, I still think we're okay, at least in the East. If he doesn't, we've got problems.
How about that miracle win yesterday? That was some very exciting baseball. I love how it was their closer that tanked, Mr. Sandman, Jr.
