Start spreading the news, the Yanks lost today (OK actually yesterday).
Then again my Red Sox paid $50M just to talk to Dice K’s
agent—how did that work out in the ratio of wins to millions? But...they kept him away from signing with the Yankees!
Some comments from the column above
—This Yankee lineup in 2012 is the worst hitting team in Yankee history by far. These foul foursome of idiots that is Cano, ARod, Granderson and Swisher deserve a ticket out of NY, it is shameful to see these idiots wearing the pinstripe uniform that has been honored with some of the best players in the past 40 years. This team needs to be broken up and reconstructed with hard nose players not all of these primadonna basters. Cashman and Steinbrenner boys rid NY of these incopetent animals construct a team that us fans can be proud of not this garbage.
—One hit after the fourth inning. Seven strikeouts from The Three Stooges (ARod, Swisher and Granderson) in 11 at bats. I’m not even going to bother to watch on Tuesday night if those three guys are batting back-to-back-to-back again.
—Hey Billy B — making reference to AROD, Swisher and Granderson as the THREE STOOGES is an insult to Curly, Larry and Moe!
—The Red Sox were lucky to get rid of their$275 million dollar boat anchors..Not so the Yankees. After what A-Rod stuck them with, one would think they would never offer long term contracts again...Look at the Angels after signing Pujos, the Phillies...it goes on and on with guys sitting back after looting the cookie jar.
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
Never say die.
Tell Atlanta, 1996, that up two games makes a comedy.
Where there’s hope there’s....ah, screw it.
I’m thinking that next year Jeter will be in right field and Swisher will be long gone.
They’ll face the National League strike out leaders this week in Detroit with Verlander and Scherzer.
Not really fair comparisons.
Cano makes good money, but every team in MLB would take him with his salary. His salary isn’t in the top 25 but he’s certainly a top 25 player.
Granderson makes about average money for a starting outfielder. Maybe worth it, maybe not, depending on the team.
A-Roid’s contract was always stupid.
They - the Yankees - beat my Orioles so yes I will enjoy them getting knocked out by the Tigers. You see, Detroit has something the Os and Yankees do not: Justin Verlander!
No buy-out clause in there? Maybe he still has value as a situational hitter, but that's an awful lot to play for a role-player.
Folks do know that the ownership of the Red Sox are RABID leftists, who, back in 2004, offered their personal jet(s) to John Kerry for a potential recount in OH, amongst other things, right?
OTOH, the Yankess were/are owned by Republicans, specifically, George Steinbrenner, who was a big time GOP backer. The president of the Yankees, Randy Levine, I believe has $upported and endorsed Scott Brown.
While I root for a few (very, after this past season) players on the Red Sox, I won't $upport them. I will never pay to go to a Red Sox game nor pay for NESN as part of my cable package...starve the beast.
For me, the ‘mighty’ New York Yankees in disarray is very pleasing to see.
Oh Please Yankees, sign Josh Hamilton, make my day.
