Givin' up 11 runs to TB again!?! Tied for last?!?! Oh well, there's always the Derby for George. 
I heard somebody (maybe the PTI guys) say that this looks like the '65 Yanks. They won the pennant in '64 but then nose-dived to 6th in '65. And they still had a decent roster with Howard, Mantle, Kubek, Stottlemyre, and Whitey Ford (no Maris, tho). They just all got old at the same time, and maybe that's what's happened here.

Bernie Williams is done.
Kevin Brown has been done for oh, three or four years now.
Tom Gordon is done.
Mariano Rivera looks like he's fast approaching his "best by" date too.
Mike Mussina is over-rated. See Mariano Rivera.
Jaret Wright is where he belongs- on the DL. The worst mistake made by Cashman was signing him and letting Lieber go to Philly.
Tino Martinez is done. He's a backup being forced to play regularly.
Jason Giambi really,
really needs to go back on steroids. He ain't a major leaguer without 'em.
The kid that they brought up to play 2B- Cano- doesn't look like he's ready yet. He's lost on defense.
Other than that........
If I was Cashman, I wouldn't be buying any green bananas. George is gonna blame somebody- and it's either him or Torre. I read a story somewhere that Mel Stottlemyre might be next to go- just so George can send a message to Torre.
The soap opera is back.
