Yanks Decide To Give Up On Season, Set To Start Pavano

As the Yankees' post season hopes continue to dwindle it seems as the team has thrown in the towel as they announced Carl Pavano will be Saturday's starting pitcher against the Orioles. Have things really gotten this bad for the Bronx Bombers? Pavano? Really? His stats for the Yankees since 2005 are: 19 Games, 5-6 W/L, 4.77 ERA, and about $40 million over 4 years. Why even bother giving him another shot. He wasted 4 years on the DL and he's actually not even that good when he was healthy. I'd rather pay off the contract without seeing him on the mound and keeping the very slight miracle of a hope that they can grab the WC. Doubtful, yes.
