If It Can Go Wrong, It Will

In light of Phil Hughes' early departure from the game last night due to injuy, I'd like to take this opportunity to officially write off the 2007 New York Yankees. As soon as the Yankees think they have something to be hopeful for on their pitching staff, Hughes goes down with a hammy injury that will likely keep him out for a month, and we all know that hamstring injuries can nag players worse than their heinous, money-grubbing wives. I say we don't see Hughes until mid to late June. I'm anticipating by then the Yanks will be battling with the Devil Rays for last place in the AL East.

So put on a sad face Yankee fans, suck your thumb, and cry me a freakin river. Its about time karma caught up with you. It looks like the deal Steinbrenner made with the devil in the early 1970s had an expiration date of April 2007. But there is one happy camper in the Yankee clubhouse....thats right folks......Mr. Wonderful.....A-ROD. He's on cloud nine, just having come off a record-setting April as his team fell lower and lower in the standings. Reports coming out of NY say that after Steinbrenner blasted the team in the news, A-ROD requested a special meeting with the boss just to make sure none of his comments were directed at him. A-ROD ended the meeting with this question to old Georgie boy "We're still friends right?". What a pickle.
