The Yankees make a big splash, lots of money, 1 million per start. Can he go 7 with 2 runs each time out. That is what they need, no losing streaks save the bullpen, play defense, steal, oh wait he only pitches, is 45 and needs to go three weeks to the minors before we see if he is the same guy from the national league. Switching leagues is tough but he knows what the AL East is like and Clemens will drive Ortiz and Manny off the plate.
If Clemens can go 7 each time, then a rotation of Wang, Clemens, Petite, Mussina, and Agent Chippy can get to the playoffs and that is all that matters. Mussina might not pitch in a first round series, meaning they will have someone to go in the second round. If the pitchers stay heatlhy and we don't have a Kie Irabu sighting, than the Yankees should be fine, especially now that Melky is hitting and Arod is still driving in the runs.
In NY we are already waiting for football - because the Rangers and Devils are out and on one watches the Nets (well a few people do) but they won't get past the might morphin Pistons. Make Webber a supporting player and watch out.
This side of the country missed some mighty good basketball, but don't blame the NBA or TV. It is the fault of the GMs, Owners, and coaches. Defense is easy to coach - good players with offensive games take longer to learn, but with win now, we lose hall of fame coaches after one year. Anyway who cares we have Francis and Marbury the back court of the future, past, ever?
