Upon further review, I think you’re right. Perhaps that’s a result of having been brainwashed by so many ESPN know-it-alls regarding how great the Sox offseason really was. Now I don’t know who’s being serious when they say it!

I would be amazed if Wang returned, and Girardi started losing sleep over what to do about his sensational, yet too large starting staff.

Bullshit. If it involves steroids, it is certainly my business. I had no designs on paying good money to attend a ballgame to watch a bunch of cheaters. But apparently, that’s what I had done over the past 15-20 years. And if a guy really is tipping off opposing hitters as to what pitch is coming, that’s BIG NEWS.
That shit messes with the intergiry of ballgames.

I mean really I hope you’re not equating steroid use to dating Madonna.

With all the problems the Yankees are having to this point, THIS is the issue that makes him show the most emotion??

I wish he’s spend more time coming to the defense of the poor baseball that the opposing teams are crushing!

The other day, when addressing the AROD pitch-tipping situation, he said that players have been doing this since the beginning of baseball.
Really???? They’ve been giving opposing players the pitches that their own pitcher is tossing?
Girardi is either insane, or has no idea what AROD is being accused of doing.

I don’t really understand this. Why did the Red Sox have the best offseason? Smoltz hasn’t tossed a pitch yet, Penny’s been terrible, and Saito is average. The only offseason signings who’ve been any good for them is Ramon Ramirez and Yankee cast-off Nick Green.

No, the Red Sox are good because of this……they allow their prospects to struggle before they grow into the players they are today. Those kids are allowed to fail before they figure out how to succeed.
The Yankees don’t have the patience for this. If Delcarmen, Masterson, or Pedroia came up through the Yankee system, they’d have been traded or banished from the major league team by now for now making an immidiate impact when they made the majors.

The Yankees are starting to show a little more patience with their young guys now, but only because they have no other choice. The Red Sox actually do it because they believe it’s a recipe for success. The Yankees do it because they think they’re stuck having to do it.

Impossible. The Yankees no longer waste their time shopping for bargains. They’d rather pay people so much money, they melt under the pressure.

I think Swisher may be the best bargain they got since Aaron Small.
