Play "Pick the Psychosis" with Mike Lupica.

Is he a schizophrenic who lives in a fantasy world? Did any of this actually occur in the real world?

"The Yankees are always supposed to get whatever they want whenever they want it, so of course they ran around telling people they had Randy Johnson before they actually did ... You better believe Yankee executives were bragging about that all over the place, making it sound as if they'd done something important ... All weekend long, we heard that this whole thing was the kind of slam dunk that Shaquille O'Neal makes when he tries to break the backboard."

Is he living in a time warp fantasy world, stuck in 2001? Or just in a fantasy world where the Yankees and Diamondbacks are rivals?

"And have them explain at the same time that they are willing to basically give away the single most important sports star in Arizona state history, the guy who started and won Game 6 the year the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees in the World Series, then was the winning pitcher the next night when he closed Game 7."

Does he suffer from megalomania? Because he seems convinced that the Yankees are obsessed solely with getting on the back page of newspapers. That's the real reason they want a five-time Cy Young Award winner on their team.

Does he suffer from Napoleonic complex? Because now he has resorted to picking fights with the Yankees even when they do nothing.

Paranoia?

All of the above?
