As if the NY taxpayer isn't already burdened enough.

El Duque is 1 - 1 with a 3.75 ERA. (Lieber's ERA is 3.29).

I shoulda stuck with my original predictions (before I started this thread loaded with unfounded enthusiasm right after a big opening day win) -- the Yanks could very well not make the playoffs. I know it's ridiculously early, but I just have a bad feeling about this year. ....and the signs are there.

I know it looks bad now, but there are too many horses on this team. And don't forget Yankee Pride.

Today's Yankee Highlights:

Flash Gordon coughs up a 3-run HR in the 7th to lose the game to the Orioles 7-6.

Matsui K's on a 3-2 count with the bags jammed and 2-out in the 8th; In the 9th the Yanks manage 1st and 2nd, but Flaherty pinch hitting lines out.

Of note: Jorge Posada's bat is now officially best suited to swatting flies, and the Bombers have their worst record after 11 games since 1992.
