Burning down the House (that Ruth built)...


Things are getting just plain strange in the Bronx. The reeling Yanks and their bullpen have now resorted to lighting the stadium on fire. Well, at least one of their relievers has.


Scott Proctor literally lit his equipment on fire outside of the Yankee dugout after his 4th straight poor outing. Torre has commented that he doesn't know what to expect from his pen and Guidry thinks they are just "dead tired". Proctor himself stated; "I wouldn't trust myself right now the way I am throwing". "It's pretty pathetic."

The Yanks have fallen 4 games back under .500 and into 3rd place. It's July now and it doesn't look good despite the cream puff schedule after the break.

Just ask Posada. "I'm not talking about unlucky; luck comes when you go after it". And it seems like at times we just go through the motions and today was one of those cases. That's the way it is, I think everybody knows what I'm talking about." Apparently we're not the only ones that think most of the Yanks have already mailed it in.

Or how about NY Daily News Bill Madden? His latest column "Pity the pinstripes -
Future looks even worse than present"
pretty much says it all. Wow!(http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2007/07/01/2007-07-01_pity_the_pinstripes.html) Not only is he talking about this year, but also 2008 & 2009. This guy should be writing in Boston. It's a harsh look at reality if you're a Yanks fan. He chronicles failure at every level of the organization and how it will extend into the near future. Apparently 1965 was a bleak time for your Bombers, and it appears history is about to repeat itself.

Just plain embarassing for such a proud franchise. We almost feel bad for you...

I am begging you to write more of these - everytime you do Yankees win big (3 out of 4 from Twins and 2 out of 3 from Angels) and Boston loses big (swept by Tigers)...

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, maybe if you write another one the Yanks might actually reach .500!

Disturbing trend. They must be reading this in the Yanks clubhouse.

Maybe something nice will be written IF they reach .500 again...

NOT!

By the way, look for some F-Rod coming soon.

Some things are just too easy...
