Consider this....
ARod and Posada have missed significant time this season, our two best hitters from 07
Robby Cano is on the interstate STILL
Giambi is still on the interstate as well, even though the power and OBP are solid
Shelley Duncan, Wilson Betemit, and Morgan Ensberg have seen significant playing time, yet have 2 homers between them and a near .200BA
Phil Hughes pitched like shit to start and is now out 2 months
Kennedy couldnt find the strike zone and is in the minors
Igawa has started a game, bleh
We have lost one of our rookies likely for the yr who finally proved himself in a relief role (Alby)

and we are still 3 games out of first.

For you guys, Buchholz and Lester have been pretty good. Beckett has been solid. DiceK aside from his shortened outings has been lights out. Wake has been a better version of Wake, and OkiPap have put together a solid 45 days or so. Your offense has the most runs scored in the AL and the highest BA and OPS in all of MLB, by far.

and you lead us by three games.

Think about that. I for one think that this yankee team has a ton of untapped potential with more players coming down the pipe. The big question is whether it is realized this yr or next. If we continue to play inconsistent ball, then you will separate yourselves from us. If we get our guys back and get it rolling, you'll be in trouble.
Flu? Japan? SOS?

April was FAR AND AWAY the Sox's most difficult month, yet the Sox lead by four games on the Yankees.

Untapped potential? Who is this you speak of?
