Tonight the yankees start the 2nd half of the 2008 missing 2 starting OF's and 3 SP's, including the ace of the team, from the projected opening day lineup. Practically every single starter went down for a period of time in the first half with the exception of Cano (who maybe needed the time off the most to find his old self), Pettite, Moose and Abreu. Miraculously the Yankees find themselves just 6 games out of 1st place in the division. If they turn it up the season can easily be ours, and with the way the pitching and bullpen performed in the first half all we need is to score a few runs every now and then to win. Lets be clear, an avg run of 5 in a row and then fall back to mediocrity isn't gonna cut it...We need to start scorching like the weather thats hitting us in NY now, we need to scorch like dare I say, give me a minute im having a hard time typing this as my finger are reluctant to hit the keys, the mets...gulp! I was going to throw myself off the blog for that, but I will make up for it by saying the mets are paying Johan $137 million for an 8-7 record at the break...Here's hoping the yankees can put something together against the second toughest remaining schedule for the second half of the season (although most of those tough teams we are fighting with in the Wild Card and division race so they are high impact games)

sambo,
That can't be you dissing johan.
10 in a row in 1st place and you are still dissing the mets. Write about Pavano 10 million, Karsay - 5 million, Jaret wright 8 million,
steroid clemens 28 mmillion, steroid posada, 13 million to bat 270, Madonna - adud - 28 million, jeter 20 million ( know he finally made a play at shortstop the other day), abreu 13 million (afraid of the wall), damon 13 million hurt, And best of all- the most Geeh manager in the sport - a guy who thinks he invented managing- Joe Girardi
