A Bad Night
On the field, the Yankees woke up too late. Off the field, the Angels just got a lot better and the Yankees have 10 games with them. Not a good night in either aspect.
I guess the good news is that Hughes went three shutout innings in Charleston. Some guy named Pavano pitched too, but that's probably a typo in the box score. In addition, Kennedy pitched very well at Scranton tonight. Sidney Ponson is definitely on the clock.

Rasner may be skating on thin ice, too. The Ms must be licking their chops, hoping the Yanks will look at these last two starts by Ponson & Rasner and panic, overpaying for Washburn. I hope the Yanks stick to their guns.
The Angels were the only team to have a winning record against the Yanks during the Joe Torre era. It will be interesting to see how the Girardi-led Yanks fare. I guess we can definitively scratch them off the list of possible destinations for Manny Ramirez (at least until the off-season) . . .

You are right, but I have faith in Cashman. I don't think he is going to jump at Washburn.
The Angels owned Torre's Yankees, how Girardi's Yankees do against them will probably determine if the Yanks make the playoffs.

Peter,
Maybe you're right, maybe the Yankees' fate will be determined in large measure by how they do against the Angels. But then again, if we continue to lose to the Orioles . . .
