Twins 4. Yankees 0

I smell a big slide coming. When Ponson gets elevated from "at least he'll eat innings" to "okay, we have to win if he keeps us in it," to "Ponson: Oh, God, we have to win this one 'cause look at who else we have," there is trouble.

This comes at a time when Boston has just lost the greatest Yankee killer since ever, when Tampa's best two players jus when on the DL, when neither Minnesota nor Chicago nor Texas are anything special.

Four games out of the Wild Card. But they'd better start hitting.

Granted, pitching is a big reason we are in this slide. However, hitting is just as culpable but easier to fix. Joel Sherman (NYPost)suggests that the Yankees should jettison Melky back to Wilkes Barre to get his weak bat out of the lineup. He has three extra-base hits since the All-Star break, two RBIs and two walks.

Is it too early to say "18 days to kickoff"?
