Simon says! “Play like a loser Boston!”

Love the Underdog reference.

The 4th starter job is Wright’s at this point. And deservedly so. Lidle has to be fighting for a spot on a very crowded playoff roster right now. If he can barely handle the Devil Dogs, I don;t want to see what he does in the playoffs. It would be very sweet to clinch at home against the lowly Sux, an appropriate commeuppance.

Jeez, I hate to agree with Chris Russo about anything, but Lidle does stink. I thought he stunk before he ever got here, though. I was shocked that he put together some good (even outstanding) games. At this point, we should just view this as him coming back to Earth. Also, I would say that Wright has an almost lock to be the fourth starter in the playoffs. Lidle had the job to lose — and he lost it. Torre doesn’t seem to be a big Lidle fan at this point, and you know how he loves Wright.

It was nice to see A-Rod handle a fastball for a change and send it into the black. Giambi is also hitting the ball much better now.

Plus, even with Mo out, the bullpen looks pretty good with Bruney, Proctor and Farnsworth.

I think it would be quite appropriate if the Yankees clinch against the Red Sox, which looks like it might just happen.
