If Pudge is so good and the material stupid remembers him with warmth from their days in Texas HOW COME WHEN THESE TWO RODRIGUEZ were at the top of their game they did crap for Texas? IF  . . . . .  they were so great. Look at the type of team Detroit is on paper EVERYBODY AND I MEAN EVERYBODY conceded to Detroit after they got Cabrera and Willis.  99.00% of the local experts said the results were in  . . . . .  the new World Champions are THE TIGERS even Francona agreed with that assessment.  And what happened to the Tigers? They didn’t have starting pitching and worse no relieve pitching. Offensive power?  they had plenty including the awesome bat of the baby Pudge.

That team has never been a team in the true sense of the word and that plus the lack of relief pitching is the reason why they were going nowhere.

Now we get the bat from the catching position Cashman and his fool Girardi were lusting for and it took them a split second to be seduced by the Tigers selling pitch. You were had!

Maybe in the year 2008 we’ll develop some sort of artificial intelligence that would mainly benefit the three stooges but I’m far from confident that it will happen.

The Tigers gain a one of a kind talented and effective professional who will always put the team ahead of himself that much I know.

Godspeed Kyle     . . . . . .   Never doubt your ability to get men out at will        and       Thanks.

We have a team whose health is iffy at best with big holes in the lineup and when they have an off day it becomes like a collective menstrual cycle they all are off for a number of days at the same time.  There is no other explanation. That happens with almost every team   . . . . . the Yankees don’t have a monopoly in such endeavor but this is the team we root for.

But knowing that we didn’t go for Santana or Sabathia for the right reasons the most important being that we still thought a few weeks ago that Hughes, Joba and Kennedy were going to become our crown jewels we went along with the patient approach which not only surprised the tabloids and the rest of the sports world BUT practically changed the way teams planned their future strategies with few exceptions: Cubs and a couple of others.

How else do you explain these four (the three plus Girardi) going Ga-Ga over a has been. They must be tickled to death and happy beyond belief that they were able to get Giambi and Pudge on the same team before they naturally expire  . . . . . . .  WOW  . . . . . .    What an accomplishment!

And let’s not talk about how pitchers trying to win a tight game will lose it because this guy doesn’t know how to protect the plate against passed balls, wild pitches and runners so pitchers better pray that they don’t get into tight games because we’ll see the trend Detroit was very familiar with.

When we could easily have gone and gotten ourselves a better and more complete catcher than I-ROIDS instead of getting the joke he has become.

This is what we’re getting:

In 203 at bats he has pushed a run over the plate at a rate of one in every 9.5 at bats a pedestrian 32 RBI’s year to date, and the all important OBP a subhuman  .338 for the fame that preceded him with a misleading  useless AVG .295 hey the guy has learned how to camouflage his numbers   . . . . .   give him that much.

I’m impressed that the normally stupid Yankees brain trust hit a new low this time while at the same time they’re high-fiving each other ad-nauseaum all we did was give Farnsworth who was almost perfect when the team got running and fighting back and who made all that important Joba transition from pen to Start all possible.  Cashman is probably still thinking that he really got the Tigers good.

Hey Loews we have a new guy for that commercial: “I’ve told them I wanted Pudge, I told them I wanted them to take Farnsworth and I wanted that trade now. Yeah You really fool them stupid. Now make that pen perfect again.

I said we su&ked big time and the more I look at the trade the more it sucks not because one of my favorite pitchers was sent to Detroit when he was greatly helping the team (my own opinion which I cynically value more than that of any tabloid’s) but because it was done as a knee jerk reaction more than a well thought-out decision.

You and the other stooges are clearly thinking about THIS YEAR for whatever reason and you have gone berserk. The man is out there and jobless we know Giambi and Rodriguez are also dirty and the guy just wants to play and which better hitter to protect the material fool than Bonds?  If Theo doesn’t beat you to it like he always does.

Answer that one Mensaless wingless astronaut.  And listen to this other idiot Girardi: “in I-Roids we got the whole package” could Yogi be far behind?

The Yankees Calvary starts tonight mark my words. With that big hole in the pen and with that former drug addict in the team the team is overmatched and will remain in that state for some time because the trade line came and went. Now I’m sorry we didn’t get Washburn so we could also rub this guy on the threesome faces.

Have it your way.

Just a bad day at the office Andy. We all have some of those.  Shake it off.

All I’m going to say about the Manny trade (like if someone gives a buck) is that the old baseball school is out . . . .  PUNK is in.

Manny did the same thing Sheffield did to get traded to Detroit. In both instances the method of choice was the implied blackmail and in both instances it was all about money. So the game wasn’t baseball it was greed. Some of our players are very adept at it.

But while Manny was one of the key pieces of those two WS tittles they have won recently ( the first one gave Manny an MVP title no less) Sheffield was the key architect of the infamous 2004 Choke, while one flies business class the other one crawls.

Careful with those colors in L.A. Manny those guys mean business this might seem like an innocent advice but I’m dead serious. Be careful out there.

Jeff Karstens just won his first game pitching for the Pirates; he beat the Cubs (65-45) in CHICAGO 3-0.

Let’s watch the tabloids demanding Cashman trades for Karstens now   . . . . . .  and he’ll probably oblige.
