Clemens to Board Yankees' Sinking Ship

Remember John Kerry's 2004 campaign slogan, "Help is on the Way!"?

It's laughable to assume that the war in Iraq would have taken a different course if Kerry had been elected, even with his three Purple Hearts. We're between a rock and a hard place over there, and Kerry would have had as difficult a time as anyone extricating the troops.

But rest assured, this post is not intended to be political.

A New York Times article written yesterday alludes to the possibility that, though the Yankees have called in their strongest reinforcement to assist in the attack on Boston, it may be too late to matter.

The Yankees are 13.5 games out and that's the least of their problems: they've got management issues, Jason Giambi is speaking out about steroids, and it seems like there's always something brewing with A-Rod.

There's plenty of baseball left, of course, but neither Roger Clemens nor any other pitcher is good enough to fix the sinking ship that is the Yankees.

And I'm feeling pretty good about that.
