The Red Sox have been outshining our dearly beloved Yankees in every facet of the game lately, signing the coveted big shots, winning championships, and getting all-star performances out of their youngsters. With last night's no-hitter from Jon Lester they've now had two consecutive no-hitters thrown by dudes under 25, while across town I-Ken and Phil Hughsie have been struggling just to keep their ERA's out of the double-digit range. Yes, it's quite the changing of the fates, isn't it? Lest you get too sad about the state of affairs in Yankee Universe, remember that even in these slumpy times, the team does have a few things going for it. Things in the Bronx aren't as bad as they may seem, even when compared with the Red Sox - or any other team in the league! Top Ten Yankees Plus Points10) Dedicated fans that aren't always belligerent 9) A nice shiny new stadium on the way (Yes, I'm stretching things a bit at this point...

I am seriously starting to think that we are being cursed for tearing down the stadium.
I also heard that bastard who buried the Ortiz jersey also buried a score card from the 2004 ALCS.
