Not worried right now, Brother James.

Hi kids! Well 7.5 games up in the A.L. East with roughly 60 games to go. I'll take it. Here's the crusher though, the Yankees have the Indians, Detroit and Angels and BoSox in August. Then it's a healthy platter of Tampa Bay, Baltimore and remarkably more K.C. in September. 8 games against Detroit in August! Holy cow. Red Sox have 7 games vs. L.A. in August. So basically we will have good idea where things stand before September rolls around. That is unfortunate news for the Yanks brass because the trading deadline will have passed, meaning if things go south the A.L. East traveling all-star team of legends (Yanks) will all be playing golf soon. Roger Clemens is 3-4 w/ a E.R.A. of 3.72. Oh yeah and he's a money-grubbing slut. Who played 13 years for the Red Sox. Carl Pavano pitched in 11 innings this year in 2 starts, making $10 mil this year. No word yet if he'll ever pitch again seeing as how he's on permanent vacation. These are two guys the Red Sox wanted to sign in their last available free agent terms, thank G-O-D the Yankees beat us to it, don't forget Jose Contreras too we wanted him real bad. A gentle reminder that it's all about pitching in the post-season.
