The Yankees losing to the Angels is an inevitability, though Mike Mussina usually lasts more than 1 2/3 innings. But even as Joe Torre is on his quest to destroy Edwar Ramirez, Gameday is providing laughs to the masochists such as myself who are trying to follow the slaughter.

Andy Pettitte Is Cajun For “God In The Second Half”
I haven’t slept all week, thanks to stay up until 1 or 2am to watch the Yankees lose. Or, in the case of last night, watch Andy Pettitte be awesome. Which is no surprise because he’s an awesome stopper, and an awesome second half pitcher. And just plain awesome. Sometimes, it’s worth it to be [...]

Kyle Farnsworth will not pitch the 8th inning ever again in a game that is remotely close in any manner. Kyle Farnsworth will not ever be [...]
Hopefully Clemens Has More Gas Left Than Mussina
I’m not sure how he managed it given that his control was all wonky, but Roger Clemens shut down the Red Sox last night. The Yankees themselves were a little wonky, knocking 14 hits off of Josh Beckett but only getting four runs. This is what happens when you swing on the first pitch, guys! [...]

Roger Clemens really didn’t like Mike Piazza.
Windy with a chance of dingers.
