What is up with the Yankees. Their last series against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays was not pretty. The barely won the first game. After leading in the next two games, they ended up losing. Randy Johnson pitched well despite having minimal success against this team. He had a 3-2 lead. Then he had to face Eduardo Perez. He hit two off Johnson the last time the two teams faced each other, I think. With a man on base, they should have just walked him and just tried their luck on getting the next guy out. So what happened, you ask? He serves up a homerun, cutting the lead to one. Should be safe enough. Rivera is automatic. Its understandable that he blows a save against Boston (who doesn't) or even Texas. But not against the Devil Rays! And who better to drive in the tying run but Perez. The Yankees ended up losing in 11. Wednesday was no different. After leading most of the way, they let the Devil Rays hang around. The blew the lead twice (no Rivera this time) and end up losing because of a wild pitch.

Its a bit frustrating because they were built to win. $200 million for the year. I think its the last year for Kevin Brown, good riddance! He's done nothing but get hurt. They pay him to get hurt. I'm telling you, they should have tried to keep Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens (he said he was retiring though). They should have kept Weaver. Even if he gets crushed, he still pitches. He's a spring chicken compared to Brown. And what is up with Sheffield and all his whining? If you want some chemistry, you should go get yourself a chemistry set. I know he's good but does he have to advertise? Anyway, I'm still a fan but it does get frustrating. I still hope they make it to October even as the wild card. They owe it to their fans especially after last year (I know you know but I'm not going into details. It still stings).
