The yankees pitching will doom them in the end because they have to rely on aging arms to hold strong down the stretch. Johnson is no longer intimidating and has been very hittable, Kevin Brown is a shell of his former self, and the past year or so with Mussina u never know what u r gonna get. Plus the crutch of the yankees pitching staff, Rivera, has blown save after save against the yankees most hated foe. And with nothing even close to resembling a farm team, Steinbrenner will have a hard time buying plugs to fill the leaking boat known as the Yankees. The Yankees just don't come close to resembling the team a decade ago that was on an annual basis pretty much destroying everyone that came before them, including my Padres in the 98 world series. The Yankees will once again be on top cuz the boss and selig will do everything in their power to keep their goliath up and ready for the next david to come along and give it a go.
