Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue

What's old? Andy Pettitte, who's probably the best, cheapest fifth starterin baseball's free-agent history. Still,ya gotta hold on to the past, the good parts anyway.

What's new? A first baseman, two pitchers and an outfielder who won't be anything like Paul O

Something borrowed? Billions, probably, to pay for the Yankees' new stadium and overhauled team. I wonder if TARP money is available.

Something blue? Er, millions of Yankees fans if the team doesn't win it all. Hal Steinbrenner's face before it explodes. Joe Torre's blood. It's Dodger blue, but still ...
