This kid has been a machine since high school. He takes this very seriously, cell phone gets turned off once he enters the clubhouse so he doesn't distract others, and so he cannot get distracted. He will stand for the national anthem and never do anything but look straight ahead, not at the hot blonde in the front row. Basically, he is a military kid bred for this life. What makes you think those years are going to be so horrible. I could see more issues with Manny for 3 or 4 years then Tex Yeah man, your saying that we will have to eat the last 4 years… why do the age 32-36 years scare you?

But his opinions he offers as gospel and then he attacks and belittles people that disagree with him. And it just so happens that his "opinions" are nothing more than uneducated guesses. He hasn't a clue when it comes to understanding baseball on the field, let alone anything beyond what is available on the surface. And his opinions seem, more often than not, to be informed by his bias against A-Rod and Girardi, 2 of his more popular punching bags. All that is true.

He's been lecturing everyone that reads his site for nearly 2 months how the Yankees would only sign one FA and there was NO WAY they could afford CC and Texeira. But NOW, there's NO WAY they can afford Pettitte, too ???!?! I'd be more inclined to believe the opposite is true. Please. That is just idle speculation from someone with no better than average baseball insight. Why on God’s green earth would you believe something because Abraham said it ?

I don't quite understand all of the vitriol aimed PeteAbe's way. Especially from the nomaas crowd, who can be as fickle and fair-weather as PeteAbe himself. The dude is a beat reporter who provides unparalleled access to the team while also providing some insight and opinion of his own. He is not an expert in any way, but he definitely understands the nuances of the game and, at least superficially, embraces new-school statistical analysis. Feel free to disregard his analysis if you wish, but don't knock the guy for giving you what you want - more info. The LoHud posters are another story altogether. Agreed.
