I have to say yes, I know it’s foolish to count them out in the middle of August. They are in fact chasing a young inexperienced team in the Rays and a Red Sox team that isn’t as dangerous without Manny being Manny …The last time the team I live and die for missed the playoffs was 1993 and they should never be counted out with a 200 million dollar payroll and a handfull of future hall of famers (Jeter, ARod, Rivera), The problem with the 2008 version of the Yankees is Read the rest of this entry »

2) stinky socks, and now
3) shrinkage!
