Hilarious Post in NYY Fans

"The 2009 Yanks 'pen is looking amazing, a far cry from the Farnsworthless pens of recent years. Just wanted to get thoughts on how people would set the pen up, given that we have so many viable options.CL: Rivera (did you know that Mariano posted the HIGHEST ERA+ of his CAREER last year? The man is inhuman)SU: Veras / MarteRP: RobertsonRP: BruneyRP: EdwarRP: Coke (LOVE this guy)Long man: Giese or Aceves, depending on who wins the #5 spot in the rotation.Anyway, we have some BALLERS in relief. They're young, cost-controlled for the most part, and we have some really awesome lefties that don't just throw hard, they throw strikes. Does anyone think another team can compete with this pen? Or, alternately, how would you guys structure the pen if you vision is different than mine?"

That's a lot of suck right there. Demonstrated in today's wonderful, wonderful game.

Wow. That is amazing.

If I were to restructure the Yankees pen, I'd probably start by kicking 1/3 of it to the curb. The bullpen is a huge weakness for them this year, especially compared to the depth that both the Sox and the Rays have.

Oh Jesus. I didn't realize that the Yankees pen gave up 9 (!) runs in the 7th inning.
