Woe is the Yankees (Woe are the Yankees?)

Randy Johnson is hurt...Bernie Williams is hurt...Carl Pavano's probably out for the season...Jared Wright is hurt...Kevin Brown is hurt...Chien Mien Wang is hurt...Ruben Sierra is hurt....

There are five—count 'em, five—pitchers on that list. Who would have thought that in August the Yankees would be limping along with a starting rotation of Mike Mussina, Randy Johnson (maybe), Al Leiter, Aaron Small, and...Hideo Nomo? Yikes. The latter three have all pitched in the minor leagues this season....

Just so you know, in case the Yankees don't make the playoffs, I am laying the groundwork to claim a moral victory.  ¶ 8:14 AM
