He's No Yankee Doodle, Randy: Dodgers 6, Arizona 2

First off, I'm grateful that junk like this is strictly pabulum for the unwashed Yankee masses, who by now have become accustomed to Steinbrenner getting everything he ever wanted. Of course, quoth the Unit's agent, nobody's even talked to him about a trade, which should tell you just how scared those guys are that they might -- gulp -- lose a couple games.

Well, screw them. They're the damn Yankees. They can suck it in for a while, just like the rest of the league that doesn't own a $200 million payroll. (George summarily reassigned scouting director Lin Garrett, but that won't turn up any actual prospects anytime soon. How's the air down there in the bottom of the draft order, George? How many first round picks did you give up, eh?)

And if the Diamondbacks are dumb enough to give Johnson up to the Yankees for a box of rocks, they'll will have earned not only their fans' undying contempt, but seasons full of games like tonight's 6-2 romp at the heels of the Dodgers.

Ishii -- gee, 6 IP on 76 pitches? Economy, man. Like I said in the Dodgers midterm report, he's learned how to pitch without using too many pitches. In a hitter's haven like the soon-to-no-longer-be-the-BOB, that's no small accomplishment. And with the hitting pretty evenly spread out across the lineup, you can't complain about the offense, either. Everybody contributed.
