Yanks now have Brown, Pavano, Wright, and Wang on the DL. That doesn't bode well for future success when those places are filled by the likes of Tim Redding and Darell May, two guys who were complete schmucks in the national league.
Yanks will have to win tonight 10-8 I think....
remember any pitcher on the big red machine??

Well... hanging your hat on Wang, a rookie pitcher who was never an ultra top prospect, wasn't the greatest thing anyway. I'm assuming he would've had a nice stretch of 4-5 games where he got ROCKED...

Man... last night was the best Mets win of the year. it tops the Marlon Anderson Inside-the-park-homerun game because this one was against the Braves.
Benson was DOPE last night. So dope. Wright had two HRs. Floyd made a ridiculous catch. Wright made a ridiculous catch. And Piazza. Guess the dude's still got it? Because that was a MONSTER shot to RF. Dude hasn't done that since 99/00. Weeeeeee! Now... it's up to... Glavine to keep this going.

If you read about him that would be far from what was expected from him. I've seen the guy pitch 10+ games and he has some of the best poise and demeanor of any young pitcher I've seen in a long time. He has great movement on his fastball and always buckles down when it matters. He kept the Yanks in every single game he pitched. You can't say that about any other pitcher on the team including the Big Bust (so far).
He throws 94 mph too. You can tell how important he was by the Yankees comments.
So in other words, Tim Redding and Darrell May are better choices? Or Steve Chacon or Al Leiter who they are rumored to be trying to get soon? Hmmm...

So the Yankees lineup is the big red machine? Yanks don't even lead the majors in runs, Hr's, avg or anything.
And they had capable starters, not two guys dumped by another team because they sucked so bad. Guys like Wang who weren't dominant but kept their team in the game until the bats exploded.

You know it. I try not to use it more than once or twice per post. I'll throw the occaisonal "awesome" in there, but I don't like many other words. Wicked, mint, sick... bleh. I don't like this. Dope.
