MEL ALLENTOWN, PA– The Yankees lost to the Blue Jays in Toronto last night and, inexplicably, it made me kinda sad. I mean, I usually live for these moments, but there was something different about this one. I am so accustomed to the blasted Bombers making a late season run that it’s as though I’m being deprived of my prescription for vitriol. Looking at the lineup, this seemed like the same group of aging over-priced all-stars we’ve grown accustomed to:
Damon cf: Rag arm (Check)
Jeter ss: No range, fading youth (Check)
Abreu rf: Soulless Philly castoff (Check)
A. Rodriguez 3b: Heimlich poster boy (Check)
Giambi 1b: Deflated steroid stiff (Check)
Nady lf: Late season band aid (Check)
Matsui dh: Godzilla week on the 4:30 Movie (Check)
Cano 2b: Poor man’s Cesar Tovar (Check)
I. Rodriguez: Once great... eh, see Giambi (Check)
Even with poor Darrell Rasner pitching his heart out, the same offense that lit up the vaunted KC Royals on Sunday only managed 1 run off of A.J. Burnett. (A guy you just know they are going to sign next year... just in time for him to tank.) Oh, they also struck out 14 times. I’m not sure how many million that is per K, but I’m guessing it’s a lot. In any event, how did it all come to this? In the span of a few short years the Yankees have gone from being the biggest planet in the baseball solar system to the verge of being downgraded a la Pluto. On top of this, Young Hankenstein (™Grote2DMax) last week all but conceded that the Yanks were done for this year. He claimed that they just had one too many injuries. Does that whining sound familiar Yankee Joe? My God, if George Steinbrenner had one marble left in that empty German beer hall of a brain you can bet he’d be raging against the dying of the light rather than smoking Marlboro Lights with Hank. Don’t get me wrong, I am delighted to see the Yankees bumble their way through their final season at The House that Ruth Built while they soak their fans for every last cent they have, but this is overkill. At least call up Pavano for some comic relief or coax Mickey Klutts or Steve Balboni out of retirement. Where’s Ed Whitson when you need him? Anything’s better than this. Even when the Mets were pissing it all away last year, at least it was good theater. What’s playing in the Bronx these days is so far off Broadway it’s in Passaic. |

| Wardette: If I said it ten times I said it a million times - the Yankees will go further then the Mutts this year. With all the games they have against the Sux and Gays, they will make up games. That is what they do. And making fun of a guy with Alzheimer's is typical bush league Mutt fan stuff. |

| Yankee Josephine, lighten up. If you havent noticed, this a sports comedy site. Save your angst for Pavano's pounding. |

I didn't know that Yankee Joe had alzheimers? That certainly explains a lot.
Sorry Joe! |

| wow, ward, getting soft and sensitive on us? yes the yankees do look done, but i still can't count them out until they are mathamatically eliminated. Much the same way i can't count the mets in until they clinch. i do believe yankee joe's crystal ball is severely stained by hank's marlboros, however. |
