    It's a shame that if we win tonight all we're really doing is helping the Red Sox. Unless they go ice cold we really don't have a shot to begin with. But it is nice to see them playing well finally down the stretch.

    I know what you mean, but at this point I just want the Yanks to win as many games as possible.

    Great performance Rasner. 8 baserunners in 1.1 innings pitched, what a fucking joke.

    Brian Cashman was awful. Brian Cashman is awful. Oh, wait, he can't be "was" awful because he never "was" good.

    Another terrific pitching staff Cashman has assembled. Please make sure you sign him to an extension so we can have another 10 years of unfruitfulness and garbage pitching staffs with worthless bums as hitters.

    You do know Joba was hurt and Wang is out for the year? Kennedy and Hughes have not pitched like expected either. This isn't Cashman's fault. Sometimes it's the players fault, sometimes it's luck, and sometimes it's both.

    Unless of course you think Paul Byrd was the answer.
