Despite the 6-game winning streak and three straight games with 8+ runs scored, it's been a semi-rough week for the Yanks, thanks to the loss of the Wangster. As I'm sure you're well aware by now, Wangy had trouble rounding the bases (damn you, 90-degree turns!) earlier this week and busted up his foot; he's now a fallen soldier and has taken up residence at the quickly-overcrowding DL Resort and Casino (which, incidentally, features such games as "how will Pavano hurt himself next?" and the "Wheel of Broken Bones" slot machine). I've discussed on this here bloggity the few pitching options available to the team, be it by trade or signing pitchers cast away by the rest of the league. Since the issue becomes more pressing with each passing day, I think we should continue the discussion and take a gander at who might be available to fill out the rotation. Top Ten (semi-realistic) Pitching Options:10) Carl Pavano (or...not) 9) Roger Clemens 8) David Wells 7) Brad Penny 6) Sidney Ponson (ps: whyyyy bring that bad attitude to a team that's been playing with heart and spirit!?) 5) Brian Fuentes 4) CC Sabathia 3) Hughsie 2) IPK 1) Kei Igawa (you know it's coming) Read Last Week's Top Ten: Depression-Inducing Disappointments

Nothing would be more entertaining than to see Ponson in a Yankee uniform one more time.
