Beating a Dead Horse

If the AL East is a horse race then one horse is dead on the track: the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bummers blew another one last night when Rivera threw a wild pitch allowing the winning run to score in the 9th. The Yankees had a lead-off single in the bottom of the 9th but pinch runner Justin Christian was picked off first base. Giambi ended the game with a bases loaded fly out.

I keep hearing people say it is too early to write off the Yankees but that is pre-2004 thinking. The Yanks have zero chance of playing post-season baseball this year.
