10 Questions
Courtesy of the NY Yankees blog at the Daily News, 10 questions about the Yankees and other stuff:
1. What is the biggest surprise of the Yankees season so far?
2. What is the biggest non-surprise?
3. Is Joe Torre doing a good job?
4. Name one player (who didn't start the year in the minor leagues) who won't be on this team on Aug. 1.
5. How do you like your steak?
6. Who will finish SECOND in the AL East?
7. Which would you rather watch: World Cup, NBA Finals or Stanley Cup?
8. At a barbecue, I will always make sure to eat at least one...?
9. The best holiday of the year is...?
10. How many Yankees will be selected to the AL All-Star team?
For my answers, see below.
1. Randy Johnson being as terrible as he is. Never would have thought he would go from dominating to being dominated this quickly.
2. Carl Pavano on the DL. Will he ever pitch for the Yankees again?
3. Yes. It's amazing that the Yankees have stayed in the hunt with all the injuries and the poor performance by the starters. Torre is holding the team together with glue.
4. Aaron Small. He was a one-year wonder who has been awful so far. He's gone as soon as Dotel is healthy.
5. Medium.
6. The Yankees. Somehow they will stay up there. How I don't know, save for the fact that the line-up can still bang with Sheffield and Matsui out.
7. NBA Finals. The World Cup is too long, and you can't even find the Stanley Cup on TV. Where is the OLN?
8. Hamburger.
9. Not Yom Kippur. Labor Day. The U.S. Open is in town, and you can spend a day watching tennis live or on TV.
10. Four voted in. A-Rod, Jeter, Cano, and Giambi. Two selected. Rivera and Mussina.
