9, for like the 10th week in a row.
When we win the World Series in 5 weeks, it’ll be a 10. Until then, there’s always room for improvement.

That’s the only option he could reach.

I’ll do it myself.

HOLY CRAP – It looks like ESPN has been shamed into improvement.

With one week left in the regular season, each contender headed to the postseason (according to Monday’s standings) shares a common identity crisis: With the exception of the Yankees, every team has bullpen issues that will likely make or break them in October and, perhaps, November…

The Yankees seem to be the lone contenders to buck this troublesome trend. I’ve said all season that the way the Yankees have developed a solid bullpen corps will turn out to be one of 2009′s critical storylines. When they left Tampa in April, the Yankees’ bullpen meant potluck in the sixth and seventh innings, Brian Bruney in the eighth and then Mariano Rivera.

…The Yankees, however, did a wonderful job of creating a dependable group of arms to get those big outs late in games. They stuck with and developed their current mix of Alfredo Aceves, David Robertson, Phil Coke and Phil Hughes to lead into Rivera. Robertson had to be shut down with elbow tightness but reportedly threw a problem-free bullpen session last week and, barring a setback, will be on New York’s ALDS roster. The chance to add Joba Chamberlain to that mix, if he’s not in the rotation, makes the Yankees group even more formidable.

Steve Berthiaume said that. No, seriously.

That was the first time I clearly understood anything AJ said the first time around, and I was mildly disturbed.
