I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore. That joke would be much more appropriate had the Yanks been playing the Royals yesterday afternoon and not the Toronto Blue Jays, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway. In any event, via Newsday’s Ken Davidoff:

After sitting through the Yankees’ dreadful, 4-1 loss to Toronto Monday, one would’ve thought the team was hurrying to catch its flight to Tampa, which is, after all, renowned for its nightlife.

But one would’ve been wrong, and that’s why you don’t prejudge. Forget about Tampa. The Yankees wanted the game to end quickly so that they could dress up their 12 rookies, hilariously, in costumes from “The Wizard of Oz.”

So without further ado…

From left to right. Joba Chamberlain (the lion), Ian Kennedy (Dorothy), Shelley Duncan (the scarecrow), Phil Hughes (Tin Man).

Because you can never have too much Joba…

Kei’s just happy to be here.
