Boston's little collapse here has certainly helped, but I'm still impressed with what the Yankees are doing.

And what a deal that was - picking up Abreau and Wilson.

Since Wang's last three starts, though, now I'm worried about the starting pitching again.

I picture them in the playoffs against Oakland's Zito, Haren, and Blanton (not great, but man-for-man a little better than the Yanks "Big 3", I think)......Detroit's Verlander, Bonderman, and Robertson (unproven, but you still have to respect them)......the Angels Weaver, Lackey, and Saunders (there's the team the Yankees don't want to meet in the playoffs)......or the Twins Santana, Radke, and Liriano (if he's healthy).

And if some of the White Sox starters get straightened out....
