Bronx Bombers?

RAB outlines the recent offensive struggles had by the Yankees. The team’s pitching has been getting the job done but the hitting has been terrible (2 R against Paul Maholm, really?). Maybe the Yankees should sign this guy to give their offense a much needed lift? Even if he’s 43, him in front of A-Rod (sorry Bobby) would scare the shit out of pitchers. Call him Matsui insurance.

Should Mo Start The AS Game?

Apparently, the idea has been kicked around a bit in the media, and Terry Francona was even asked about the concept during a recent conference call. I think starting Mariano would be a nice way to pay homage to the man, but at the same time, imagine if he starts (highly unlikely) and then a big save situation becomes possible in the 9th or later? Would you want Papelbon closing the game? Probably not, so I think you should keep Mo around until the later innings. It’ll be worth the wait.
