Ahhh. Despite the comeback, do you think the Yanks have a chance to win it all again? I’m not sure if they have as good of a rotation as they’ve had back in the late 90s, do you think Wang is their best pitcher right now? Offense only takes a team so far in the postseason.

Just curious.

I don't think Wang is their best pitcher (especially lately), but he's very solid. Pettitte has been steady as well, and we're heading into the time of year he usually shines. Clemens looked like the Rocket of old in his last appearance. The Hughes rookie is looking really good -- the future ace of the staff. And Mussina has been consistently very good this last couple months. And for relief the Yanks have the best closer in the history of the game (Rivera) and a rookie set-up man (Chamberlain) that throws 100mph heat and looks as unhittable as Gossage in the 70s.

So the Yanks are far from only offense.
