It doesn't get much better if you're a Sox fan. The Yanks are in an absolute freefall and its not even May. Let's see if we can put together a top ten list for the Yanks...
10) In the middle of a 7 game losing streak.
9) They trail the Sox by 6 1/2 games.
8) Only KC has less wins - in the MAJORS!
7) They are looking up at Tampa Bay
6) Mariano Rivera has an Era over 12 and 2 blown saves!
5) Only team in the majors without a save, and lead the majors in bullpen innings
4) The Daily News has dubbed them "The no fight club"
3) Damon is headed to the DL - for the first time ever
2) Torre may be sent walking by Steinbrenner
1) Carl Pavano
Ouch. They better start putting police details on the bridges around NY. Yanks fans are going to start jumping any day now. They NEED to take the next 2 vs the Sox but its not going to happen. It really feels like a sweep coming...
The pitching woes continue and no one has been able to step it up. When they really needed Pettite, he stumbled. They've gambled with Philip Hughes who pitched OK for his first start but couldn't go 5 innings. Back in Spring Training, Torre stated 2 reasons why they wouldn't rush Hughes to the bigs - Kerry Wood & Mark Prior. He said they were rushed and blew out their arms. Well, it's April and here he is. Scary stuff.
The Sox look to continue the beatings today with the best record in the majors. If they put the hammer down on the next 2 games, the Yanks may not be able to claw back. From an 8 1/2 game defecit in April, Clemens better have a twin. But if you're Clemens looking for a ring, why would you even think about joining a team that far back?
Might be time to start dusting off the golf clubs in NY...

Didn't quite work out for you, did it???? And isn't it nice to break that long losing streak against the lovely Boston Red Sox? And Mo closing it down - don't that feel good?
Right, like you didn't think the game was over when Karstens went down in the first. You must be excited to lose another starting pitcher to the DL.
Congrats to the Yanks for finally winning a game. You must be thrilled to be 1-4 vs the Sox and in last place - still.
Good for Mo - it only took how long to get his first save?
