NO, IT GETS BETTER

Tired undoubtedly of the futility with men in scoring position, the Yankees put noone in scoring position tonight, at least not until the ninth, when they were already down 4-0. For the record, they went 0-2 at that point to continue the abasement.


I thought the Yanks shouldn't have signed Clemens because they simply weren't play-off ready enough to need another aging pitcher. Turns out Clemens wasn't good enough to earn that kind of dough anyway. At 1-3, with a 5.32 ERA, Clemens adds to the interminable list of terrible pitching deals done by Brainless Cashboy. It's up to 282 mil in absolutely wasted money. Once George is down 300 mil, do you think he'll finally say enough?

Since we can pretty safely rule out October, the question now is will the Yankees ever get and stay over 500? I think you could actually argue no, that they have already given up on the season, at least inwardly, and that mind set will produce more failure. Even Joe sounded resigned after tonight's debacle. "At this point," he said, "you can't worry about the season, you can only worry about tomorrow." That's because barring the Flood, there will be a tomorrow, but there ain't no season left for this team.
