The Yankees have been sucking.
I think it's interesting that the Yankkes are terrible so far this year. What's also interesting is that Gary Sheffield and Derek Jeter are both hitting about .340 and A-Rod leads the league in HRs and has 20 something RBIs and the Yankees still can't get it done.
Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada are slumping, but they'll probably turn it around soon. Tony Womack is historically a slow starter and even so he's hitting about .280 and his on base percentage is respectable.
Clearly their problem is the pitching staff. It is deplorable. Randy Johnson has been OK, but not great. Mussina is below average. Pavano has been not bad. Jaret Wright is terrible. Kevin Brown is beyond terrible. Their bullpen is shaky at best, especially with Tanyon Sturtze on the DL.
I am of the opinion that all of the Yankee's woes this season thus far can be traced back to one move: the decision not to re-sign John Lieber and instead to replace him with Jaret Wright. Lieber is currently 4-2, and his last start was a hard luck loss to Pedro. He was consistent for them all last year and there's no reason to believe he wouldn't have been again.
That's it, end of story.

I'd imagine it's hard to be a Yankees fan these days. Rooting for the Yankees the past ten years seems to me like you'd be rooting for Microsoft to be the top computer company. How can you root for the team with the biggest payroll?
Then again, the Knicks have a huge payroll and suck balls.
