Finally these guys get it in gear. The Yankee offense is very good now that another cog in the system is swinging like the best--Giambi.
Jeter and Cano have consistently been good about getting on base. Sheffield and Arod may well be the best slugging duo. Giambi is one of the best players now (look at his OPS). Posada and Williams are at least steady and decent. Martinez needs to just come around. All in all, a solid line up.
With guys getting time off to heal on the DL, the Yankees can make a September run for the division lead. If Johnson, Moose, Leiter, Brown and Wang can at least pitch decently, the offense will help the Yanks win the games they need. Pavano and Wright can help with starting and middle relief, so the Yankees have a bright September to look forward to. Granted a 200 million dollar team should not be scratching and crawling its way to lead the division, but that's what makes baseball fun to watch. It is hard to predict.

Big Unit will be missing his next start, possibly more than just one.
Leiter is going to be counted on to carry the yankees? He' s had 2 good starts for the yanks, 3 bad ones. The Yankees are going nowhere, and if they don't win the division (they won't) they won't be getting the wildcard.
If "Moose" and Leiter are going to "carry" the Yanks - I'm feeling pretty good about things right now as a Red Sox fan.

You've heard of Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz, right?

I was thinking the same thing...this thread is very spammy-tainted.

No love for Chacon? Both his starts have been quality and he goes again tonight, maybe they can get him a win this time.
