Maybe so, but they need to start playing with more consistency beginning after the AS Break. Otherwise, it doesnt matter who they are competing against. I still feel like this is one of those "Murphey's Law" seasons for the Yanks ... whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. Injuries have completely short-circuited their ability to go on a tear ... I dont see them playing unconscious until they are more healthy and it seems like someone is always going on the DL ... but who knows, maybe once Damon and Matsui are back, they will stay healthy ... we can only hope. “Yankees will be in the playoffs regardless of what Damon and Matsui do.

Joba needs to stay away from Alyssa. There must be some fad going on in the club house- the "date a chick who is 16 years older than you" fad. Watch for Mussina to start going out with Rue McClanahan. Is it even money that Milton will start a game before Hughes does?

Oakland has given up by trading their best pitcher, Tampa Bay is coming back to earth and the Twins just aren't that good. By the way, Matsui has gotten a slide for his playoff performance. Starting with Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, he has a grand total of 2 RBIs. Yankees will be in the playoffs regardless of what Damon and Matsui do. Evan Roberts on the FAN made a great point today.

If I ever hear another thing about Mr. Do-Bee and Mr. Don't=Bee or another "Romper, stomper, bomper boo.." with that stupid Magic Mirror....that floozie never did see me through that thing. Didn't care for Miss Francis and Ding Dong School, either. I grew up in Michigan, but, we got WGN on the antenna, so, I did watch Garfield Goose and Andy Clyde. Enjoyed Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney. Did you know that Paul Winchell invented the first artificial heart and disposable razors amoung 30+ other patents? Doreen, was never much on Romper Room.

And Winchell Mahoney Time? Not to mention Soupy Sales pre-ban-for-life-from-tv. I just got off the phone with my mom and was having "flashback" time, reminiscing, because I had to drive to Bayshore, LI today to pick up my daughter, and I used to have family that lived out there, in the 60s and 70s. Then they all moved to Florida. But I guess between that conversation with my mom and your post, I was able to remember -- Winchell Mahoney Time! hooh. Back to topic, though, it's too bad about Damon, but I'm not surprised. No one's a spring chicken anymore, and you just don't heal as quickly in your 30s as you do in your 20s. And that was one heck of a bang into the wall. I'm also worried about Matsui. I think as long as he can DH he'll be okay, but he won't be playing the field; and you still have to be concerned with running. He hasn't run yet. What does that tell you? Not much, I guess. I have more hope for Phil Hughes, because he has the one thing the other two don't -- youth. GreenBeret7 -
