In honour of the Yankees being swept by the Royals and dropping 6 straight…
(I was sorting out my “My Pictures” folder, and I found this funny little animated GIF. It was taken from someone’s LiveJournal, if I recall correctly, and damn if I don’t know where I got it from… any help with the attribution?
Edit: I’ve been informed by cathryn in the comments that it’s the work of Steve Johnson aka dantesdad. Kudos to dantesdad!)

And. just for kicks, the ’traded away’ team for the Yankees:
C - Dioner Navarro*
1B - Nick Johnson*
2B - D’Angelo Jimenez*
3B - Mike Lowell*
SS - Cristian Guzman*
LF - Alfonso Soriano* (okay, not his position, but I’m sure he could play it)
CF - Wily Mo Pena*
RF - Marcus Thames*
SP - Javier Vazquez
SP - Brad Halsey*
SP - Jeff Weaver
SP - Jake Westbrook*
SP - Ted Lilly
RP - Damaso Marte*
Closer - Yhency Brazoban*
* - all Yankees minor leaguers at some point
It wouldn’t be a great team, but it would sure be decent enough, probably better than KC.
