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.

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...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
