Joba rules

It's been a long, wet summer, but this weekend, up at the Fens, Yankee fans could begin to allow themselves to believe October baseball is a distinct possibility.

Two of three in Boston (and that third game went way past my bed time so I slept soundly enough).

Joba Chamberlain explains why he's a starter, out-dueling Josh Beckett. And no, all whining aside, Joba was not throwing at Youkilis in a 1-0 game, but if Youks wants to think so, that's just fine.

The Yankees tee off once again on Tim Wakefield. Andy Pettitte continues to be the best second half pitcher in baseball.

Cashman pulls off another highway robbery, this time with Pittsburgh the victim.

And Manny is just being Manny, except this time he pretty much guaranteed this will be his last year with les Hose rouges.

And the Tampa Bay Deviled Rays start looking a little altitude sick.
