Fellow Yankee fans: This is not a slump. It's a quarter of the season and we suck. The offense has been putrid the past week: we've given up just 17 runs in 6 games and lost four of them. Matsui did well yesterday, and then killed two rallies today. Now that A-Rod has stopped hitting home runs, nobody is. Only Jeter and Posada have been hitting the ball well day in and day out. Five save opportunites in 39 games is a mark of how badly the team has played.

The Red Sox have a markedly superior team.

i agree, but injuries happen - who knows, maybe the sox get some injuries too. i don't know why the yankees' home run power is gone - giambi's still a big bat, and most of the lineup was still good for 10+. Hell, Damon hit 20 last year.

these next six games should show where the yankees are. if they can go 4-2, and win some of these games easily, i'll have some confidence.
