Back to the 90s?

There has been some talk recently by most of us about this team resembling the great Yankees squads of the late 90s. But it only takes a glance at this pitching staff to see it isn't so, not even close:

Randy Johnson
Chien Ming Wang
Jeff Karstens
Jaret Wright
Corey Lidle

Mussina will hopefully come back strong and perhaps Pavano will have something to offer over the last month (because Wright has been really bad of late), but this staff is nothing like that of the championship teams. So we've got a lot of work to do.

Check out this story. I really find these "gurus" ridiculous. The thought of Mussina and A-Rod huddling with Wooden for baseball advice and Torre keeping a laminated "Pyramid of Success" card is just embarassing. I think Mazilli knows a whore/fortune teller that they could have in next. Maybe read the pitchers' palms before the entire coaching staff lays with her. Terrible.

Haven't they ever seen "The Natural"? The only way to win is to get past that kind of crap.

Nice reference, Bump Bailey! It's worth a recitation of the scene:

"The mind is a strange thing, men.

We must begin by asking it...

..."What is losing?"

Losing is a disease...

...as contagious as polio.

Losing is a disease...

...as contagious as syphilis.

Losing is a disease...

...as contagious as bubonic plague...

... attacking one...

... but infecting all.

But curable."

Melky update:

"After [Saturday's] game, he had to go to the dentist, he had some puffiness going on," Torre said. "He has future root canal in his plans probably [today] or Tuesday. He was really uncomfortable so we scratched him."

Is this the gayest team in the league or what?
