Yanks arrive at the Fens with their tails between their legs. They were swept at home and then lost 2 of 3 vs. Toronto dropping them 7 games under .500, 13 ½ back of the Sox, and into last place with the lowly Rays. The ultimate sign of their current state is to hold their $28M man back and not pitch against their bitter rivals. Maybe they should wear yellow uniforms this weekend…Once again they have the dream of sweep on their minds, but they are in worse position now than the last series. It’s become a must win 3 series to even think about saving their season. Even then, the lead is double digits, they’re still 4 games under .500, and they don’t play the Sox again until late August.
Don’t expect the Sox to just roll over - especially with a pissed off Schill and laser-hot Beckett. Wake is due for a win against them as well. How about a Sox sweep? 16 ½ games is a hole they’ll never climb out of. Steinbrenner will blow a gasket with Torre & Cashman breaking out their golf bags.
Will someone out there try and get this definition to A-Fraud who continues to make new “friends” throughout the league:
dis·creet (adjective)
Marked by, exercising, or showing prudence and wise self-restraint in speech and behavior; circumspect
Free from ostentation or pretension; modest.
Try adding it to your vocabulary dumb ass. Better yet, let’s hand out t-shirts with that definition on them in BRIGHT ORANGE letters - before each game this weekend…
Forgetting his off field nonsense, his true colors come shining thru once again. Late in a game vs. Toronto, the fraud was running between short and third during a 2 out pop-up. Reportedly he shouted “Mine” while running between the two infielders. And the ball dropped between them because they both backed off. Once again he resorted to a bush league play to try and help his team win.
Not dirty you say? Part of the game? Bull. You can make the argument that fans or players screaming while a player is at bat shouldn’t affect them. True. The same doesn’t apply in the field. When two players are going after the same ball there are many factors at work. One guy might have a better vantage point or even trying to avoid injury. Fans aren’t close enough to affect those types of plays. It’s one of baseball’s unwritten laws. Why do you think Toronto was so pissed off?
Off field issues aside, A-Fraud is a piece of crap. Wonder why so many players hate the guy? The picture is becoming clearer. The Arroyo slap, the Pedroia elbow, the Toronto shout, and his overall sense of entitlement. Jeez, what’s next? Will he pull a Tyson? Hopefully he’ll “Fade into Bolivian” too…

"How about a Sox sweep? 16 ½ games is a hole they’ll never climb out of. Steinbrenner will blow a gasket with Torre & Cashman breaking out their golf bags."
It was such a funny and insightful comment, I just had to bring it up again, especially with the Sunday outcome.
Sunday outcome? Oh, do you mean the outcome by which they went from 13 1/2 out to 12 1/2 out? If that's what you think is funny, you must have really bust a gut with todays Post article that started out..."The Yankees, presented with a chance to build on Sunday night’s emotional victory over the Red Sox in Boston, pulled into U.S. Cellular Field and smothered the South Side night with the smell of rotten eggs." Boy, did they build on that "Sunday outcome".
oh I am sorry, I meant to say the taking 2 out of 3 in the last series against Boston (and doing in Boston makes it that much more special). A-Rod being killed at Fenway with all kinds of stupid crap only nasty Boston fans could come up with hitting a home run against your "star closer" - do you find this amusing or rather annoying?
Hmmmm...hard to say. Probablly indifferent more than anything. Being 10+ games up takes the aggravation away and come on, you didn't think some of those blond wigs were funny? But if you really want to know what amused me...it's the "aggravated groin" diagnosis! Who made that up? I think it might be code for $28 million down the drain!
