Sometimes You Eat The Bear...
Quite a difference 24 hours made. Saturday, Mariano was awful. Sunday he was awesome. Sadly, I think everytime he struggles it will bring the "he's done" people to the forefront and we will have to listen to the arguments. Who knows, they might be right at some point Mariano will truly be done. I just hope we never have to see it. My dream is Mariano walking off the mound after closing out the 2010 World Series and calling it quits right there.
These next four games will be very interesting to watch. The Yankees may be on pace to win 96 games, but they need to stand up to their division rivals. 3-9 against Tampa and Boston isn't going to cut it, can the Yankees start to reverse that trend between now and Friday? We will find out.

Your reference to the Yankee's record against the Red Sox and Rays early in the season is irrelevant.
The Red Sox have not faced the real "Yankees" yet. Teixeira was hitting like Ortiz has all year when tney played early in the season, there was no A Rod or Posada (both pretty productive guys, Sabathia is a slow starter, etc.
Does not mean the Yankees will be successful in terms of wins and losses, but they will put a stronger team on the field than the ones which lost early in the year.

I think anyone would have been awful if they were as sick as Mo was on Saturday. I don't know why Mo is so proud that he can't publicly admit an illness as simple as food poisoning or something similar ... but he really is the consummate stoic.

Joe- As a Yankees' fan I would like to agree with you. So, can we agree that something is wrong if the Yankees get swept this week by the Red Sox?
Mitchell- I had no idea he had food poisoning, he is a real stoic for sure.
