as i have said 100 times this year,the a.l east is going to be a shit fight because all 5 teams are capable of winning a 3 game series and the idea of anyone of these teams playing .750 ball for 6 weeks is a fantasy.
ny just doesnt have the pitching and their roster is full of aging corner men and outfielders,some of which cant do anything defensively anymore.
when darryl rasner has a pivotal role in the rotation you got issues.
ny had been blessed recently by remarkable late season efforts by the likes of shawn chacon and aaron small,mussina this year pitched about as well as he's had since 03,hes not capable of sustaining this performance...its all up to the kids and they havent shown theyre good enough to handle the gig assigned to them at this point.
theres 3/4 of a season left and lots of time to right the ship in the bronx but honestly,who really thinks they're good enough to contend for the division?
if they make the wild card i'd be surprised..
