Been wanting to say something about the Yankees' 2008 season (which in many ways seems as long as the 2006 season already), but didn't know how to boil it down to something that wouldn't be so long as to bore everyone to tears. Should've known that it'd be summed up perfectly by Peter Abraham after last night's game:

When you consider everything that has happened to the Yankees (injuries, sickness, suspensions, Joba’s dad, the schedule, rain, cold, etc.) it’s impressive that they’re 14-13 and a game out of first.

Mark Feinsand's summary of the season is worth the time, as well.

Hughes and Kennedy are making it difficult for me to not regret them not being traded...but I am enjoying watching them grow up this year (be even better if I wasn't limited to whatever few games ESPN, TBS and FOX throw my way...ohhhh, to be able to watch all the games...)

Meanwhile, on the homefront, Samwise keeps getting better and better--two doubles and a single last night (and those doubles would've been triples if he didn't make Jason Giambi look like an Olympic sprinter)
