You guys are amazing. You don't seem to realize that teams get hot, go cold, whatever. Based on what they've done this season.....get real. The Yankees are slumping. The Red Sox aren't. The fact is the Yankees haven't been hitting. They will. Anyone want to bet on this?

Who would you rather have? Arod....Ortiz.....Manny....or Carlos Quentin?

Guess who's the top hitter in the league right now?

You're basing your stats on the first month or so of the year. There is little doubt the Yankees and Red Sox finish 1-2. It's just a question of who's one and two.

It's mid-May. One three game winning streak for the Yankees and one three game losing streak for the Red Sox, and all of a sudden it's a race.

If anything has taught ALL of us since 2003......

It's a long, long way 'till September.

As constructed....this team is fine. Their only real hole is 1B, one mid-reliever, and possibly one other SP. They are above average or average at every position on their 25 man roster.
