Clemens is gonna miss a start? What were the odds of that happening? After dominating the Red Sox last week, the 45-year old version of Roger Clemens came back. And Mussina didn't look much younger following him up. King Felix kept the Yankee bats at bay, and Seattle broke a losing streak with a big win.
Key here is, Seattle now can't lose much ground in the series. Even if the Yanks win the next two, they'll still be only 3 games out. Yanks now face a couple of must-win games, or else their October slot will once again be in jeopardy.
- In the past seven days, only one team has had a worse average than the Yanks (.235) - the Giants at .215. Key guys are struggling, such as Damon (4-last 24, .167), Abreu (4-25, .160), and Matsui (4-25). Cano had 2 homers in the Yanks win last Thursday, but aside from that, he's 2 for his last 21.
The Yankee bats were hot all summer, but it was inevitable that they'd slow down. And that just might doom their playoff hopes.

The Yankees "World Series" last week against the Red Sox has over extended the team form NY. Busting a gut to win those 3 close games and now, in the long run, that's coming back to bite them in the a*s!!!!
The Red Sox made no BIG deal about that series and are now in position to win the division and sweep NY back when they come to Fenway in a week or so with no Roger (or an injured one at best), rookie pitchers from AA looking ho-hum and Moose Mussina!
Can't wait to have Joba in the house! Hey Head-Hunter: Welcome to Fenway!
