Yankees

You know your team is bad when you trade for the close-to, if not-already, washed-up Al Leiter. What's next, grabbing Hideo Nomo off the scrap heap? Seeing if Brien Taylor is finally healthy?

Old-timers will remember the Boston/Milwaukee Braves' chant of "Spahn and Sain and two days of rain". Last year, I said that the Red Sox' playoff hopes rested on "Martinez and Schilling and God willing". Now, the Yankees’ rest on “Moose and Randy and whoever’s handy”. Or “Randy and Moose and a couple buckaroos”.
