a sincere thank-you to the yankees...

just wanted to thank the yankees for signing pitchers - and blocking the red sox from getting them - like randy johnson, carl pavano, jaret wright, and jose contreras... yanks' starters this year:

randy johnson, 4.34 era, 11-8 record, 29 HRs allowed in 26 games ($15mn+ per season)

carl pavano, 4.77 era, 4-6 record, 17 HRs in 17 games -- injured ($9 mn+ per season)

jaret wright, 7.62 era, 3-2 record, 7 HRs in 5 games -- coming off DL ($6mn per season)

thanks again!

Thanks for the reverse jinx on Wright. I think the last time he pitched a shutout before last night was in high school...

would you rather me jinx mariano rivera like i did [note, yet ANOTHER blown save last night] or give jaret 3 more wins on the season? i thought so...

If it were up to me, I'd have you put a hex on the entire Yankee organization- starting at the top with George Steinbrenner, and to the bottom with the janitors and interns.

Eff anybody who associates themselves with that organization.

Oh, you forgot to jinx Mussina, but looks like a jinx wasn't necessary...
