Chien-Ming Wang(or Scotty, as he's called) would be the second starter. Johnson looks like you can stick a fork in him- he's done. He used to scare people- no longer.

The Yanks do have their problems. Both corner outfielders-Matsui and Sheffield- gone, and maybe for the year. Their 4th outfielder-Bubba Crosby- is still on the DL. Johnny Damon is playing with a bad foot, and he throws like a girl anyway. Derek Jeter and Jason Giambi have been hurt and unable to play. A-Rod is aptly named; best player in baseball- my a$$. As for pitching, Tanyon Sturtze is done for the year and Carl Pavano never threw a pitch this year- and won't. Other than that, everything is going fine.

Sigh......

Don't matter to me anyway. I'm off to coach Togo in the World Cup. They reached out to me as the best replacement available. Wish me luck.

Let's see, a couple of pitchers hurt and one of them hasn't even thrown a pitch this year...where have I heard that song before? The Cubs have started 5 different pitchers this year where it's their first major league appearance.

Need an assistant for your new coaching gig? I think I (vaguely) understand what offsides is.

We couldn't even beat those Furriners after we beat up their star player and sent him to the hospital...pretty sad!

Not to worry......Bush has already made plans to invade the winner.

Oops, I just remembered - I have to count my paper clips. Sorry I won't be able to help you this time.

The only reason I'm watching this year is to see if Brandi Chastain takes off her shirt again!
