He still doesn’t have a home run. It’s getting a little painful.

But to be fair….the Red Sox are, at least, winning. The Yankees are just mediocre. Granted, they were beaten yesterday by the great Roy Halladay, but still—they haven’t beaten a really good pitcher this entire season. They go down a bit too meekly….

Plus, the Yankees’ age is showing. Derek Jeter has a pulled muscle, Hideki Matsui left the game early, Jorge Posada has been hurt…if this keeps up, and there’s no reason to think it won’t, the Yanks are going to have a tough time getting into any sort of groove.

On the more optimistic side, Chien Ming-Wang sounds like he’s getting back on track down in the minors, A-Rod and Mark Texeira are going to start hitting, and the pitching is going to come around. There’s no way this is a sub-.500 team for much longer.
