No rotation, no bullpen, no star, nobody hitting .300, how is this happening... or is it?

Random thought:

That night, six weeks ago, stepping onto the curb, the bus didn't miss me.

Maybe I'm in some unnamed realm of Purgatory, a cheap replication of life in Syracuse, N.Y., where nothing ever happens, but Satan lets the Yankees win.

That, or I'm in a coma, and the meds are sweet.

Either way, being dead or incapacitated, I can't jinx anything, so let me say it:

We are potentially experiencing the greatest comeback season in Yankee history. 

The... greatest... comeback... season... in Yankee history.

Got a better explanation than the bus?

my only explanation is the powerful juju we unleashed in that series against the devil rays (when we were swept). that FORCED the FO to make the RIGHT decisions. There can be no doubt.

you're not in a coma, duque. you're an honest to God Yankees HERO!!!

you just nixed it but, when they crash, we will still forgive you, as you have been correct most of the time and no oracle is right all of the time. the gods would not allow it.

gotta say these proclamations of greatest ever do make me nervous, like we are tempting fate to silence our bats while Pineda suffers flop sweats. oh, well. glad the bus didn't leave you in pain.

Go to the light, duque... go to the light!

The view is great from right here in the pilot's seat.

By the way, have you guys seen that new movie out, "Sully"? Landing in the water. Who'd a thunk it? Oh well, as the Ol' Perfesser himself put it: "If ifs and buts was candies and nuts, oh, what a wonderful Christmas it would be."

In our house, we're going to see Sully tomorrow night.

THE ONLY REASON WE ARE STILL NOT IN HEAVEN IS, THE METS ARE WINNING JUST AS MUCH AS WE ARE (AS THEY PLAY TOMATO CAN AFTER TOMATO CAN)...... THAT ASIDE..... THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!

Greatest comeback ever?

I was at the Bucky Dent game.

Nothing could top that.

Well maybe another playoff game with the racist townie assholes' team -- the small market redsux. And Ortiz suffering a Joe Theismann-ish injury twisting his ankle running (ok jogging) out a grounder to short right. Complete with visible bone sticking out.

THAT would make it better.
