Well, the Yankees' pitching woes continue, as Darryl Rasner got taken out of the game this afternoon after he got struck in the pitching hand with a line drive. He has a fractured index finger and will probably be on the DL as of tomorrow. I know that the shoddy pitching has been a big reason for the Yanks' awful start, but that's not it. This is the first year that I really believe the media's talk about a lack of chemistry in the Yankee clubhouse and that contributing to their decline. They just don't look loose, they look like they're playing tense and uneasy. I don't have too much evidence for this besides just watching them compared to the Mets and Johnny Damon's awful pregame introduction, but the losing, injuries, and now the Giambi steroids thing don't help.

This just hasn't been a fun team to watch the last couple of weeks and I say this as the most diehard of diehard Yanks fans.




A quick headline: Lazy Tom Glavine adds to all-tme record for sacrifice bunts rather than be beleaguered to hit, run bases.
