The Yankees are back. That's the good news. The bad news? They brought last year's bullpen with them. I know. It's one game. One awful, excruciating game where the starter sucked and the bullpen was even worse. And manager Girardi in all his wisdom was hell-bent on running out the entire bullpen. How else can you explain why Girardi had Edwar Ramirez up and throwing as Marte was luckily getting the last out. And what the hell happened to Marte? Guy was worse than John Edwards during the debate. Yankees are in trouble when the lefty Marte can't get lefties out. Still it's one game. The only Yankee on notice should be Girardi. Elsewhere in New York sports, the Rangers got a big win in regulation against Montreal and likely did enough to secure a playoff spot. They can get as high as sixth. The eighth spot likely draws top-seeded Boston.
