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.

The Yankees played like crap for the first two months of the year and June was nothing to write home about either. If they hadn’t stunk so badly then they run away with it. Who’s fault was it that they had bad starting pitching? Why no bench or pen? In spite of all that they threw out a line up with 7 all stars and proceeded to play like horse-bleep. If A-Rod doesn’t step up like Super Man then they are at least a dozen back right now.

With respect to your points about playing good/bad teams, the Yankees beat up on teams with bad records. When they had to go on the road they go 3-8. At home Tuesday they won on a 315 foot home run, last night they won by one run. Tight games but I wouldn’t go chirping like they completely ouplayed the Sox either.

If they come back and win then I will certainly acknowledge that they stepped up and did the job. The Yanks should also consider themselves lucky that Theo Epstein and the front office made bad moves in signing JD Drew and Julio Lugo in the offseason while not upgrading their bench like the Yankees did at the deadline. Cashman has also done a better job in drafting players than Epstein has.
