Topic: Yankees Baseball

So lick your wounds and remember that you only have each other and you need to guard each other’s back. Soon you’ll be whole again and all this crap won’t matter. I’ve told you all this earlier in the year when you were down and I’ve told you that the talent was definitively there in the clubhouse therefore it was just a matter of time; that was before the crap went to your head when you started the string of pyrrhic victories, I also told you that when the media was finished with you we would pick you up and that still holds true.That’s what we do here.

We have your back specially in the bad times (not that we enjoy the losing part that’s the part we hate) but when the front runners have departed we will still be here to pick you up and help you gain the necessary momentum to get ready to kick some serious a$$. That’s our job.

And if there is any consolation the sux are not feeling that much better than you (physically); this series also took a heavy toll on them (Papelbon had rivalry induced diarrhea for GS and their manager wasn’t in the best of health either).

That fine line between victory and defeat is never more blurred that when our two teams meet just like they have done for decades. And they (the sux) haven’t won anything YET either.  Believe it.

What did I say about that fine line between victory and defeat less than 24 hrs ago? The Yankee haters probably went: WHAT A CROAK! But the students of the game knew how true that statement was.

That’s what happened in tonight’s game we won a game we had no business winning but that’s baseball and we’ll take it. Karma had more to do with that game than anything else because that game was won at the very last minute (or few seconds) due to two circumstances:

First Tex never stop running (that’s a case study for every kid, boy or girl, playing baseball or softball around the country from HS to college and travel ball in between) and second Arod didn’t run that hard after failing to put the ball in play because if Tex just jogs around the bases he doesn’t make it to home plate instead he became the game winning run and Arod was able to get back to first base otherwise he’s out at second by a throw from Castillo.

It’s baseball, it happens. I have personally seen that happen before and I’m sure others have too but with only one run scoring to win the game but NEVER two runs I don’t know who might have     . . . . . . . .     maybe Yogi or Vin Scully.

So tonight it wasn’t a jet stream that affected the outcome but merely a breeze ever so gentle playing games with Castillo’s glove.

Go  figure.

Hey Tex don’t lose any sleep over Henry’s silly jokes, besides the guy said he was sorry. Move on. We’ll have the last laugh he can see the writing on the wall he was just trying to mess with you.

Just forget about the guy, Francona will make sure he gets the message. There is a method to their madness. He’ll probably start the so called kidding around prior to our next meeting in August specially now that he saw you got easily excited and remember you are a frigging star don’t call him Mr. Henry that a$$hole papelbon didn’t call our Boss Mr. Steinbrenner.

Things will be different by August you’d better believe it. Arod will be back by then  . . . . . . . .    He still is in April mode this stadium is tailor made for Arod, you just wait that lineup is going to take off and it will be really something to watch.

This is what the media told us about Brunney’s secret admiration for Rodriguez, the volatile (talk about a raving lunatic) closer for the Mets: “The only other comment on the game was offered by Brunney who had nothing to say about Castillo but he did say the following about K-Rodriguez it couldn’t have happened to a better guy  . . . .   the guy is a tired act, etc  . . . ”

No tabloid that I know said “while pitching for AA and as reported by The Hunterdon County (N.J.) Democrat (not exactly Associated Press or the Times).”

I think the most telling line in the whole affair is the one that quotes Rodriguez, pointing to Brunney before yesterday’s game, asking his teammates: “is that him?” the guy doesn’t even know who Brunney is for a reason and to Brunney’s credit he remained calm and quiet (after his teammates brought him into line as they should have) and let Rodriquez do his grandstanding act in the outfield.

Rodriguez is a very good closer and he’s also a tired act (now I can say that about his orgasmic celebrations on the mound similar to what Papillion is used to experience, also on the mound) but we have come to Joba’s defense on that subject and therefore we have to leave the guy alone with his antics when he saves games.

My only qualm is that Brunney seems to be the guy that Coke looks up to and that represents another type of problem for the Yanks and just so that Coke is aware of it I have him in my crosshairs we all know that all relievers specially young ones that come to the Yankees have good-to-great talent BUT how you perform when the team calls upon you is a different story and Coke remains a big IF so far.

There is a good article in the Times by Tyle Kepner about what I consider the most serious problem for the Yanks to overcome IF they are serious about taking this team (super talented team according to some evaluators) to the playoffs and beyond.

I’ve been trying to address this subject for the longest time but I was so incensed by the gall of this guy the more I've tried to put my thoughts together on the subject the more incensed I have become because it was always there we just chose to pretend it wasn't. i don't believed in coincidences and I gave this guy the benefit of the doubt for far too  long a time. I’ve have waited and waited and waited and cleaned up and rinsed my comments because I don’t want this to sound so more biased than it is because everybody knows by now how much I detest this guy for so many reasons. NO MORE.

I have never pretended I like the guy because I don't. I'm well aware that the only thing he’s got going for him besides his ties with Jeter and his old allegiance to Torre are his perennial ties to the NY media. The tabloids have always passed this guy to the next as if he belongs to them because HE BELONGS TO THEM.

Remeber all that ranting against the Yankees when he was after their money?  That was not an act    . . . . . .    that was real    . . . . . . . .   so he should take all this like a man because he dished out and now he must take it.

To me he has always been, especially since the start of the 2008 season, nothing more than a useless act.

Here it is:

I think I know why the Yanks are constantly skydiving after they right their ship one reason that I have been aware for a long time. This time I’m reading before posting and I’m trying to soften the wording of my drafts but I can’t help it      . . . . . . . .    It is what it is.

This issue is very important to me. Ever since Posada came back from the DL the Yankees have underperformed or performed horrible.

Their err less defense has turned into an embarrassing act and the pitching that Jeter had been praising for a few weeks has turned into a farce and I know why: Posada is back. That I’m certain about.

I have said many times Hank blew it when he got us Posada back. I wrote at that time “let the jerk go” “let’s see if he’s going to be happy with the Mets or the Sux for that matter.” With his history of injuries he’s had since he re-signed with the Yanks  he would have been shipped out of Flushing a long time ago.
