Good points -- I didn't really think they were throwing the game, but they sure played like it! At the risk of using a really lame analogy, it's like Rocky in Rocky III -- they didn't have the "eye of the tiger" that the Angels did. As for leadership, I think Giambi was a leader in Oakland, but it's too soon for him to be a leader in New York. And for all the whining this season about the Yanks getting Mondesi and Weaver, they didn't make a dime's worth of difference this season.

heh heh....we traded you Clemens for Wells and then traded Wells to the White Sox for some pitcher called Sirotka who has yet to pitch one ball in anger for the Blue Jays. You eventually got Wells back. So in essence you got the Rocket for nothing. We couldn't let that stand so we gave you sullen Mondesi to destroy you from within. LOL Beware Blue Jays bearing gifts.
