Somewhere, Buzz Bissinger just slipped that post into a brown file folder for his next TV appearances decrying the damn pamphleteers. Of course, it's true that we've allowed ourselves to get caught up in our shameless aping of the Drunk Jays Fan to such an extent that we can't even write a post without profanity anymore, gosh darnit.

It’s getting uglier all the time

Is it time to toss in the towel on the 2008 season? I don't think so. Yankees were in even worse position at this time last year and still made the playoffs. Of course, everybody is one year older now.
