I'm sure the Blow Sux have a good young pitcher or two. The problem is the yanks have four of the best young arms in the rotation now and some great young arms in the pen. And the best closer in the game

But all is not lost. The Sux did just make a great signing. Brad Penny is sure to be lights out for you. I mean, he was great a couple of years ago. And last year, man was he impressive. 6 wins and 9 losses in the worst division in baseball with and ERA over 6. And now he's making a move to the Al, where he's never played, and moving from the worst division to the best division in baseball. Fantastic free agent signing

If you REALLY want to laugh, listen to your buddy Joba talk. Dice-K speaks english better than he does and he's Japanese.
