Vasquez shows dramatic improvements in innings pitched, hits allowed since last Yank appearance

It's been barely six years since "Heavin' Javy" Vasquez last donned Yankee bar codes, though it seems an eternity.  Back then -- when our greatest fear was Restless Leg Syndrome -- Tiger Woods was a saint, Lady Gaga was a brunette, Lindsay Lohan might have been a virgin, and nobody ever pondered Barack Obama, Sarah Palin, Lil Wayne, Heidi Montag, subprime loans or the reality of a razed House that Ruth Built.

But Heavin' Javy keeps on happening.

Here's his line score from last night.
   
 

Now, here's how we remembered him.





Innings: UP 180 PERCENT!
Home run totals: NO CHANGE.
Walks: DOWN 150 PERCENT!
Hits: DOWN 300 PERCENT!

Earned Runs and Earned Run Average...
Well... we're working on that.

Esteban Loaiza threw three shutout innings?

Looking at the pitchers we threw out there in GAME 7 of the freakin' ALCS against BOSTON makes me shudder. It also makes me wonder how the hell we got to the ALCS in the first place.
