My Orioles are asleep at the wheel.
F new york
F the yankees.
If they had gotten Johnson when they could have this year, Boston would not be world champs and the Yankees would be. The Ynaks just had no pitching depth. A mistake they seem to be fixing as fast as they can.
It doesn't matter. The Hillary Curse will continue.
The Dodgers can't be that stupid, can they?
They've already lost Beltre and now this.I hope it doesn't happen
The only bright spot I could see would be a Johnson/Schilling match-up
When the Yankees claimed the deal was dead, the deal became a certainty. And, while RJ was a great pitcher, he is 41 and I really question how much longer he can go on. He also has a history of back problems and, at 41, a recurrence could end his season at anytime. The Yanks are taking a big risk, IMO.
The Yanks are having a pretty good winter. If this goes through, and they sign Carlos Beltran, they will have gone a long way to make up for their short-sightedness of last year. Johnson/Mussina/Pavano/Wright is a pretty good foursome. They have definitely gained ground on Boston so far, especially with Hudson now signed with Atlanta. But Theo Epstein is awfully crafty, and I am sure he is not finished by a long shot. The off-season has become as interesting as the actual games themselves.
I don't get it...how can Johnson leave the D'backs, who beat the Yankees in the 2001 World Series, for a team which has not won the World Series in this millennium? Granted, Arizona didn't have such a great year this year, but they did win some games.
I've always been a big fan of the big unit, but now, I have to say I hope he strains his left shoulder or some worse injury to disable him for the majority of the season. ANYTHING to thwart the Evil Empire and its Satanist leader!
Don't worry, the Yank-offs will still choke yet again this year.
Best part of it all is....The Dodgers get the short end of the trade (IMO). HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
