STATE OF THE YANKEES
ok theres absolutely no organization here just whatever my fingers type first. the fact that this is the "greatest comeback ever" doesnt bother me at all neither does the fact that its the red sox. i really could care less that it was the red sox there is no insult to injury there. they're just another team but it does feel a little better when you beat them. the red sox didnt play like the red sox the first 3 games of the series and the yankees sure as hell didnt play like the yankees in the last 4 games of the series. im not bothered by the comeback because i really doubt a team that good was ever down 0-3. and if you remember when the yanks were up 3-0 i did post that i wouldnt feel comfartable until the yanks have won 4 and the sox showed you why.
rivera, gordon, sheffield, and arod all choked. big time. who would have thought that the best arm out of the yankees bullpen would be esteban loaiza?? mo probably shouldnt be in that list but i cant let game 4 slide.
now, thinking forward. posada is a goner or should at least be a goner. i dont care about his past or how good he is with the staff the guy is a groundball machine.for the entire post season and most of the season if there was a man on first and posada was up it was pretty much an automatic double play. they'll probably keep him but i hope they let navaro split the games with him because i cant wait to get a new face in at catcher.
i told my brother right after damon hit a grandslam that steinbrenner just fired about 3 people and i really wouldnt doubt it. mel stottlemyre is as good as gone either steinbrenner fires him or he retires hopefully they can somehow get dave righetti from the giants. kenny lofton, ruben sierra, enrique wilson, kevin brown, felix heredia, and tony clark should all be gone. im not sure what the hell mel did with vazquez because vazquez is definitely a better pitcher than that. and im starting to think if maybe contreras was a product of stottlemyre and not new york pressure.
im not worried about mariano in the slightest the red sox just have his number like the yanks have pedro's. plus the amount of innings he pitched this season was really high. gordon was just flat out tired, he was completely ineffective the entire series and was a big part of why the yanks couldnt put the red sox away.
i read about the yankees looking for a legal way to void the last 4 years of giambi's contract and i really hope they do, he's just extremely dead weight. the guy still isnt healthy at all and he'll never be able to live up to his contract.
and this whole theo is better than cashman thing...lets not get ahead of ourselves. no doubt theo is among the leagues best general managers but cashman created a dynasty. he also assembled the best team in pro sports history with the only the 6th highest payroll (1998). cashman will still be apart of the team even though he probably wants out and i thihnk they're gonna start taking a different approach to their trades and signings. they've already attempted to overhaul their entire minor league staff and they probably learned (yet again) you can never have enough pitching.
back to tonight. the red sox deserved to win and im actually happy for (yes i just did say that) because they play some great baseball and they play hard. they really deserved to win and the yankees DESERVED to lose.
im not bitter, im not pissed but i am dissapointed. i wasnt ready for my baseball season to end. congratulations to the red sox and to the fans...you finally beat us (you fucks).
The End.
