It's true that the Yankee bats woke up last night after The Boss' mandate after getting their clocks cleaned by Baltimore this weekend . . . New York smoked Tampa Bay 19-8, however Yankee fans should not be breathing easier . . . luckily the offense erupted for 13 runs in the second inning because once again Jaret Wright had another poor performance on the mound . . .
Wright pitched 5.1 innings and gave up 11 hits and 8 earned runs . . . as I have said before, and will continue to say throughout the season, New York made a big mistake by giving this head case a three-year contract worth $7 million a year . . . he was garbage in Cleveland and lucky in Atlanta . . .
Take away the 13 runs that were scored in the second inning, and the Yanks lose 8-6 . . . The Boss should not be pleased with what he has seen from his pitching staff so far this season . . . tonight Randy Johnson starts for the Bombers . . . he has been unimpressive so far this year . . .

Here's my take on Jaret Wright. He's Jeff Weaver. Weaver is a decent pitcher who wasn't made for the pressure of playing for the New York Yankees. Wright is the same. Weaver and Wright can be 20-game winners. But only once or twice in their careers. By the way, this site rocks like Kojak.
