Not to rain on the happy parade of a 39-37 team, but George Steinbrenner's patience "is a little short," according to the Boss's latest statement. Big Stein has called a summit of the team's front-office brass at Yankee headquarters in Tampa to evaluate the state of the franchise.

Don't underestimate the importance of this summit. We need the Yankees to starting winning some games. We need to restore the balance of power. What, you want to live through another celebration of a World Series victory by Red Sox fans?

Luckily, we're here to help out the Boss, Brian Cashman, Stick Michael and the rest of the Yankee think tank. So here is Page 2's day-by-day to-do list to get the Yankees fixed by the July 31st trade deadline.

I especially like this one . . .

July 12
Watch All-Star Game with Theo Epstein. Ply him with unused champagne from 2004 ALCS celebration. Ask him if he'd be willing to trade David Ortiz for Jason Giambi. Tell him you'll even throw in Tony Womack to be nice.

now THAT's a deal I could live with! . . .

1. Why fix the Yanks???

I like it when they lose (no offense).

I grew watching the Cubs and teams in this area lose and then lose some more. It makes you humble, and Lord knows George could use some humility.
