And where was he last week in Anaheim? Or Detroit? Or how about the game in Chicago when the pathetic White Sox lit his ass up? Roger pitches a game where he walks 5 guys and you want to talk about a great performance? (Hint, Roger wasn’t anything great last night but the Sox offense was even lamer)
I love how Yankee fans want to talk trash when you can look up major disappointment in the dictionary and see the Yankees. Your team should have run away with it this year and they didn’t. They allowed a team like the Sox with sub-par or average offensive talent in most of the line up to be in 1st place all year. They are paying $30 million a year to starting pitchers who are either in the minors, tanking it or too old to get AAA hitters out. They are paying a known cheater $19 million to platoon with Andy Phillips.
If your team makes the playoffs you should consider yourself very, very lucky.
Yeah, history is great when you get to cherry pick the games that make your team look good and totally ignore the games in which you sucked. Of course never mind that the Yankees had to play the first two months with only three starting pitchers in their rotation, or that they were burden with injuries. Never mind that by the time Roger joined the rotation they were 10+ games under .500.
Yes, I will admit that we sucked in Detroit last week. We should have taken two out of three in Anaheim, and we probably would have if Hughes hadn’t walked the number nine hitter to lead off the seventh, but oh well we lost plain and simple. But who has the best record in baseball since the all star break? Of course during July when the Yankees were closing the gap it was “Oh the Yankees are just beating up on the weaker teams, while the Sox had to “ But when the Red Sox sweep the White Sox, while the Yankees have a bad series it’s because the Red Sox are great and the Yankees suck? Red Sox fans are always good for a laugh.
And lucky to make the playoffs? Of course if the Red Sox were the ones who had battled their way back into playoff contention after being 14 and a half games out, you Sox fans would be going on and on about what it being one of the greatest turn arounds of all time.
Anyways, this debate is pointless since no matter what I say you’ll continue to look at things through your own red sox tinted glasses. Just don’t think you can talk smack all season about how the Yankees suck and then not have it bite you in the ass when you lose to us.
