Unlucky Charms

Ian Kennedy - Magically delicious?

As noted by this observer during 2008 spring training, the Yankees do not have any pitching. Now in the middle of May, it is apparent they have no offense either.

Alex Rodriguez and Jorge Posada, reliable run producers, are on the DL. With few exceptions, the averages of the players are a buck and change.

And still no pitching.

Ian Kennedy with a 0-2 record and an ERA over 8 was sent "down" to AAA Scranton. Today he was back, presumably just to bring his record to 0-3.

And yet all the Tampa Bay Devil Rays had to do was drop the word "Devil" in their name and change the team colors. They are ahead of the pack in the AL East.

It's going to be a very long season for Yankee fans.
