They aren't that good this year BC. There pitching staff is very much suspect as they are relying on rookies and over the hill veterans, and when those over the hillers and rookies stink it up early in games they dig too big of a hole to climb out of. There lineup is certainly the best even with some over the hillers in there as well i.e. Damon and Giambi. Hopefully they will sneak into playoffs as wild card and then the combo of Wang, Pettitte and Clemens do have a chance with all their experience to win the AL pennant as Red Sox, Angels and Indians are all very much beatable. Next year they will be dominant again as Hughes gains more confidence and with Joba in rotation look out in 08.
