Pitcher Roger Clemens, who was coaxed out of retirement with a deal worth $28 million, was supposed to be the savior of the floundering Yankees. The Bronx team's pitching staff has been plagued with injuries and Joe Torre and Ron Guidry have been forced to call up ever-younger prospects from the organization's farm system. Fans were momentarily relieved and distracted from the Yankees' on-field woes during the 7th inning stretch of a game in early May, when Clemens appeared in George Steinbrenner's box and announced that he would be returning to pitch for New York.

Getting four runs off Mulder is like getting a date with Carmen Electra, it just doesn't happen that often. The Yankees pitching continues to be a problem. The offense has been consistent all year, but the pitching is another story. The Yankees are not worried about losing a few games in the regular season to the Oakland A's, but the signs are there for a mediocre off-season, due to the poor pitching. In the playoffs you win games 3-2 or 2-1, not 10-9. That is what concerns the Yankee fan, what is going to happen in October when we match up aagainst three top notch pitchers.

It was a good and busy weekend at the Stadium for the Yankees. the Yankees managed to take three out of four games from Baltimore and increase their lead over the Red Sox to 9.5 games. The big trade that everyone wanted to see (Randy Johnson coming to the big Apple) did not happen, but Cashman was able to unload the inconsistent Jose Contreras for the steady Esteban Loaiza.

The traveling secretary of the Yankees got into a fight with a security guard at U.S. Cellular Field (apparently that's the Chicago White Sox's stadium) after the Yankees clinched the A.L. East title. David Szen, 51, was charged with misdemeanor battery; the Post says it was over whether or not a TV crew could film the Yankees celebration. Of course, Gothamist recalled that George Costanza was the Yankees' assistant to the traveling secretary and we are sure George would have run like a girl from the confrontation. Or he would have been the evil mastermind behind it, in order to become the traveling secretary.
