Notes:

What an ugly game. The second worse loss in Yankee history ( 18 run difference).

It is now very clear that the Yankees have to start searching for a new stater. Chacon has just been dismal this year, and he keeps getting worse. The Yankee farm system doesn't look too hopeful, so the Yanks would be better off going out and getting someone. Maybe Zito? Smoltz?

The Yankee bullpen did pretty badly as well, giving up 12 earned runs. I just hang my head in shame.
