Best Team on the Block

I saw a comic in Mad Magazine once and it showed four Pizza stores on a street with different signs- Best Pizza in town said one empty store, Best Pizza in the Country said the second empty store; Best Pizza in the World-they had one customer- til finally the last store- with a mob of customers in front- "Best Pizza on the Block"-- the Yankees have made a change in policy this year -they are trying to be the best team on the block. The Tigers and Cardinals played for the series- neither had a better offense than the Yankees- both had better pitching and that made their defenses better than the Yankee defense. Now the Yanks have traded Sheff and Wright and will try to resign Mussina within budget limits. They lost their bid for Matsuzaga on budget limits which hurts but they got a good young arm for Sheff which helps. In '07 they can add Humberto Sanchez, in '08 they can add Phillip Hughes- now they need to sign two starters to cover the loss of the soon to be injured Pavano and Wright- with Boston out of the way they may be able to sign Zito or Schmidt-- Boston will now be able to trade Matt Clement back to the NL with their rotation set with Papelbon, Matsu, Schilling, Wakefield, and Beckett--the Yankee fans say lets hope they are the best team in the world.
