YANKEES ARE IN FIRST PLACE, 8-5 RECORD. KEVIN BROWN ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT PLANS AT THE CONCLUSION OF THIS SEASON!

The Yankees started the season off promising, at 1-0. They then proceeded to lose the remaining games agaisnt Boston and were as bad as 1-3. The Yankees battled back though, and through this run went on a 5 game winning streak. Whilst they were winning, Boston was barely staying afloat. After releasing John Halama, and Alan Embree the Sox bullpen was lackluster. Those big releases may come back to haunt the Bostonians.
Francisco Cordero, who was supposed to be as good as Rivera has a 9.00 ERA, 4 Saves, and 2 Losses. He clearly needs to get his head on straight in order to ensure the Yankees dominance. Sean Henn, is tied for the team lead with 2 wins. Henn has a 1.50 ERA, while teammate Brandon Webb is 1-0 with a 1.27 ERA.
Young Phenom SP Scott Kazmir is 0-0 with a 27.00 ERA thus far on the season. Kazmir needs to work on his mechanics in order to keep his spot. Randy Johnson is 2-1, with a 3.57 ERA Kevin Brown is 1-1 with a 5.78 ERA. Perhaps his retirement will be a good thing for the Yankees, seeing as thats the only way he'll leave New York; no other team wants him.
Danny Graves has been un-hittable in the bullpen so far this year, with a 0.00 ERA with 1 win. Tom Gordon has been as good as advertised, with the same record and ERA. Danys Baez is struggling with a 9.00 ERA with 1 win.

On the offense, Bobby Crosby is the team leader. Crosby, has slugged 5 Homers so far, and his .356 BA leads the team. Alfonso Soriano is a close second in HR, with 3. His batting average however, is only .246. Erubiel Durazo, is struggling so far with 1 Homer and is hitting only .227 so far this season.

INJURY WIRE-
OF Eric Byrnes. Eric has 2 weeks left on the DL , because of an inflamed back muscle.
MR Tanyon Sturtze. Sturtze will be missed for one more week on the DL, because of an undisclosed injury. The team did not comment why it was undisclosed.

CHECKING UP ON OLD YANKEES-
BOS Gary Sheffield .339 BA 5 HR, 11 RBI
TAM Mike Mussina 0-1 7.58 ERA
TAM Jorge Posada .219 BA 1 HR, 3 RBI
