I hate to use one of the most overused cliche of the century as the title of the post but its true.
The New York Yankees 2008 campaign is hanging in the balance this week. while they are only two and a half games back from a playoff spot with 50 some odd games left remaining you could rationally say their in great shape. Every year the Yankees stage some sort of major push and why should this year be any different?
The answer to that is simple. This season an already shallow rotation is in Limbo of losing by far its greatest weapon. Joba Chamberlain currently is getting a "second opinion" by none other than Dr James Andrews. If the Doc gives any sort of negative opinion you could call it a season for young Mr Chamberlain.
The Yankees will never recover from losing two aces in one season (Wang and Joba) unless Carl Pavano and Phil Hughes come riding in on their White horses to save the day. We all know Carl will probably hurt himself getting on the horse.( so we could count that theory out.)
In addition to all this going on the Yankees just started a crucial 10 game road trip out on the wrong foot going o and 2 in heart breaking fashion. We can ill afford to lose any more ground and the starters better start going deeper than 5 cause our over taxed bullpen is starting to get exposed.
Lets right this ship and pray all goes well for Joba. If all doesn't go well and Joba is hurt you could kiss this season goodbye.
