The +s And -s of Last Night From A Yankee Fans Perspective

+s

~We got to watch the Red Sox fail several times when the opportunity to win was presented to them.

~Losing last night essentially makes the greatest single game playoff comeback of our lifetime meaningless.

~We won't have to listen to any of that dynasty talk.

~David Ortiz looks like he might be on the steady decline.

~Ortiz went 0 for last night including a huge strike him out throw him out DP.

~V-Tek is officially 100% washed up.

~Jon Lester might not be the superhero that he appeared to be through the ALDS.

~No Papelbon dancing.

-s

~The Yanks still suck and the Red Sox today still on paper will have better team in 09.

~With Pedroia, Youk, Lester, Beckett, Lowrie, Jacoby, and Dice-K the Red Sox still have a core of players to build around for the next 5 seasons.

~BJ Upton officially is back to being an uber prospect.

~Matt Garza might have just gone from #3 on the staff to lockdown ace / Cy Young contender.

~Evan Longoria could easily turn into the best 3rd baseman in the league if Arod starts declining with age.

~David Price has the balls as a rookie with literally no Major League Experience to go out in Extra Innings in Game 2 and in the final innings of Game 7 and dominate. He is a future ace.

~Kazmir is a multiple all star performer and he just might be their 4th best pitcher next season behind Shields, Garza and Price.

~Because of all those points above the Devil Rays might be better next year and certainly will not be going away anytime soon.

Numbers On Steroids: Bret Boone

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. Mr. Boone was once the best power hitting second baseman in the league. How questionable was his success? Averages Say: Why the extra plateu in his mid 30s? At Bats Per Home Run Says: Lowest at Bats Per Home Runs at 37? Hmm.... Explaining It Away Yeak, this one is tough. Umm, late bloomer? He showed potential power early in his career and he just liked playing in Seattle a lot more than everywhere else? And umm, his career was kind of like a running backs in that it just all of a sudden fell off the map? Any of these convincing you? The Verdict Guy never hits more than 24 home runs in a season and then in his age 32 season he hits 37? And in SafeCo a pitchers park to boot? And he follows that up with 24, 35, 24 homer years still at SafeCo? And then he completely falls off the map in 2005 never to be heard from again? We've got a Screamer... Man Get Big Muscles In 30s. Hm...
