Yanks Sox Thoughts

1) Amazing the difference of one day to another. Matsui makes the same exact play one day and makes a spectacular catch and the next day he rolls over his wrist and breaks it and is out for 3 months. If you're a Yankee fan and are looking for a positive in this scenario, atleast we won't have to worry about his damn streak anymore. Or if for some reason you enjoy the adventures of Melky Cabrera in the outfield or Bubba at the plate well then thats something else you can look forward to. Not so good for a Yankee fan when the #1 story of a Yankee Red Sox series is losing one of their best players for a long time. Ouch.

2) The number 2 story is the Big Eunuch. Hey Randy throw a strike already. How many people are you going to fall behind? Granted good ole Arod and the Melkster didn't help you much out there on defense but still throw some strikes and get some outs please. He just has not had it these past few starts. His fastball is 5 mph slower on most pitches and his slider stays up in the zone too much and when it stays up in the zone it gets hammered. Randy get your act together please.

3) Was anyone other than me shocked yesterday when Ortiz had a bad day? He seems super human against the Yankees its unreal, and very very annoying. I chalk down hits everytime he gets to the plate.

4) I hate the shift they put on for Ortiz, oh I hate the shift, one day I'm gonna rant and rave about how its really isn't effective. Anyone David Ortiz on wednesday in his first four at bats got four pull hits, one through the shift, one out of the building and two that were hits because Cano wasn't playing his normal position. The shift is up there with left exits on highways.

5) Any talk radio analsyt that ever says what do you yankee fans want more from Arod, he puts up huge numbers every season. The answer is simple Yankee fans want Arod to hit like David Ortiz. Yankee fans want to have immense confidence that Arod is going to come up with a big hit. They want to go into a Red Sox series and expect Arod to go 8-14 in the series. They want Red Sox fans to fear him stepping up to the plate like I do of theBig Dominican. Its that simple we want Arod to dominate the Red Sox.

6) And if you want to talk about locks, does Wakefield ever pitch bad against the Yankees? He always seems to throw well against the Yankees. And then when he pitches when the bullpen comes in the Yankees lineup looks lost.

7) There are always games you play where you go home and think to yourself man I wish I didnt play today but look at Miguel Cairo's day. 4 for 4 on Ks. And dropped the tag on Jeter's throw that would have saved the Yankees from going down. I bet you he wish he got Men In Blacked so he had no recollection of the game.

8) I looked yesterday on MLB.com and Scott Proctor had the best ERA in the major leagues. That's like Scalabrine leading the NBA in points per 48 minutes. Needless to say it took Proctor under a day to decrease that ERA. And he deserves zero faith.

9) Believe the Papelbon hype. This kid is good, he came in yesterday and dominated. The Red Sox have a keeper in this guy, hopefully his arm blows out in the near future.

10) There deifinately is something to look forward to. Tune into sports Radio these upcoming weeks. There are only so many things in this world which are funnier than when Yankee or Met fans call sports radio stations and suggest a trade. They are always classic. Most fans seemingly think that teams should just hand their players over to the Yankees. Just as good is when fans call in and suggest that the Yankees should just go out and get a player, without even contemplating who the Yankees would have to give up. So tune in and listen to fans try to reason how a Bubba Crosby straight up for Vernon Wells deal makes sense for both teams or how the Yankees should go out and get Ken Griffey Jr.

11) Did anybody other than me enjoy the Pavano sighting? Please don't blow out your arm again, there are only so many more Jarret Wright starts a sane human being can handle.

12) Dotel is starting to throw. This is spectacular news. If he comes back healthy, the Yanks have a stud 1 2 3 in the back end of the bullpen.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
