I also take a pragmatic view of the Yankees' chances.
It all comes down to pitching. Mussina and Wang are solid, Lidle and Wright are questionable and you never know what type of performance Johnson will give.
not true. I am concerned about their starting pitching, the injuries and Mike Timlins poor outings lately as well as the EZ pitchers.
When the Sox were healthy I considered them the best team in baseball. Right now, as I posted at royalrooters, they are not a championship caliber team. Hopefully they will overcome them and be the best again in time for October.
