blast in the first. The Yanks only managed three hits off the Sox #5 starter Tavares. There were rumblings in NY that a sweep was coming based on the Yanks pitching rotation. This was the series to turn their struggling season around.If anything, it’s gotten worse. Mussina was throwing his “fastball” between 83-86. That Era is not coming down folks. He might still be able to get by some of the weaker lineups, but he’s going to get lit up often vs. a good team. After the game, he commented; "It's almost June and I don't feel like I've done anything as far as contributing, up to this point." No kidding. Keep it up Moose.
And what was Torre thinking in the 7th last night? From a guy who always goes to the pen early, why did he let Mussina dangle? It could have cost them the game. And you’ve gotta love the Mike Myers experiment. Specifically brought in to deal with Papi in the late innings, he’s only served up 3H and 3 RBI’s in 3AB. Keep trotting him out there Joe…
Is anyone more self-destructive than A-Rod? He still can’t handle himself in a big situation once
again. While trying to “break-up” a double play, he threw a cheap shot at 2B Pedroia. He slid in with a high elbow and then pushed Pedroia while he was throwing. Clearly interference. Clearly dirty. Must be hard for a 6’3” guy to push around a 5’9” guy. At least there was no karate chop. He’s clearly insecure as he continually resorts to this type of behavior. Is it that he hasn’t done enough himself or that he’ll be to blame? The bright lights of NY clearly aren’t helping. Expect some chin music from Schill tonight…Not sure about the play?

We eagerly await the return of Clemens back to Fenway on June 3rd for Sunday Night Baseball. Getting giddy just thinking about it. Talk about a hostile environment. Duracell is thinking about sponsoring the game. How would any pitcher perform only after a few tune ups in the minors? It’s going to be a loud night at the Fens. Will the hamstring pop be louder than the crack of the bats?
Some Random Yankee questions…
- Will Dr. Kevorkian be performing season ending (and contract ending) surgery for Pavano?
- How late into June/July will it be before the Yanks reach .500?
- When the Yanks terminate/trade “amphetamine boy” Giambi, how many balls will actually be in the bag of balls they get in return?
- How long before Torre gets the ax and Mattingly does worse?
- How much young talent will Georgie force Cashman to pony up for a #4 or #5 starter at the deadline?
- Will the Yanks be 15 or 20 games out in their next meeting with the Sox in the last week of Aug?
Stay tuned to find out…

and again you set yourself up, my friend!
Yes, we should have swept you, but taking 2 out of 3 is definitely a step in the right direction, and, of course, hammering Schilling is always an icing on the cake. Your rotation is starting to look pretty bleak with Wakefield and Schilling clearly showing their age and being unable to get anybody out in the Yankees lineup.
"Curt Schilling may have to thumb through a thesaurus to come up with words to describe the beating he absorbed last night at the hands of the Yankees" (Today's Globe)
What a layup. Cmon kids, you've got better than this right?
Our rotation is bleak? We'll take Schill with his 4-2 record and sub 4 era any day of the week - over say, everyone in your rotation...
First of all, how many starters do you have? And how many have better numbers than Schill or Wake? Uh, lets see, one.
By the way, the Rocket looked downright "scary" in AA.
We'll take Schill, Wake, and our 9 1/2 game lead thank you. You can have your icing.
Send us a note when your boys climb over .500, OK Scooter?
no matter how you spin it - a loss is a loss. Take it like a man for once.
Riiiiiight.
All you can do is hang your hat on this latest win. Enjoy it.
And how have you handled the 6 losses against the Sox?
I guess you're right -- a loss is a loss. We'll have to take our 15 like men. How are you taking your 24?
