The YANKEES are never as bad as the worst teams in baseball. Their payroll is way too expansive to permit that, but sometimes they seem to contain the chemistry that exists on all the bad clubs. They keep up appearances by having marquee players distract you from what is esssentially a group of strangers cobbled from different walks of life. This is the major leagues and I doubt you will ever find a team that has come through the minor leagues together, but these YANKEES are as disparate a group as I have ever seen.
ALEX RODRIGUEZ a/k/a ‘Prom Queen’ will never be the A-ROD from Seattle. JASON GIAMBI is so unimpressive off steroids. RANDY JOHNSON hasn’t killed a single bird in New York. The highlight of DEREK JETER’s career is that at one time he was schtooping MARIAH CAREY. The YANKEES will never fall into the abyss because their owner would gladly ruin the salary structure of the game in order to procure a winning ballclub, but it is refreshing to watch the wheels come off ever so slightly as the METS ascend to NYC prominence.
Say it ain’t so CURT? It seems that losing can take it’s toll on a player physically and mentally. CURT SCHILLING has hinted that he may retire after this season. And I so wanted to see a Boston/METS World Series next year. Cie la vie.
I’m not even big on baseball (I’m from Baltimore and we have the Orioles) but, I’m getting pretty sick of hearing about A-Rod. I always thought sports media was like the kid that instigated fights in school and A-Rod is the kid that doesn’t really want to fight so he never even makes it interesting.
so jeter went from “schtooping” mariah to “schtooping” a-rod. would you call that an upgrade?
have you read this on a-rod? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/magazine/09/19/arod0925/index.html
Who cares about those over paid bunch of babies?
IT’S ALL ABOUT THOSE NY METROPOLITANS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how did my comment get so spaced out? i swear i’m a tech-dummy to the bone.
^Alex2.0, after I read that S.I. piece lastnite I knew GayRod was a homo. And T.O. is fucking up the Cowboys season.
I am totally frustrated that my cellphone is not allowing me to open some websites. I am having computer withdrawl.
I am from BK in NY and just moved to VA. I am heading to DC to watch the Nats play the Mets this weekend… Is it wrong to wear a Yankees hat?
