Most but not all of the people here, as well as all the smart people affiliated with baseball in any way whatsoever, think Joba is A: not a bust, and B: a starting pitcher.

As they should.

I like that your posts, mryankee, come from a place of long-term confidence in Joba that degenerate quickly into B-Jobberism.

Most but not all of the people here think Joba is A: not a bust, and B: a starting pitcher.

Hell, we’d probably have won 110 games this year if Wang didn’t melt down.

That.

In fact, the Yankees are so great, it might be fair to say that for the Yankees two primary rivals, the Red Sox and the Mets, that fans of both of those two organizations love to hate us more than they love to love themselves.

Eh, I don’t really blame them. As you said it makes their cause more noble to be killed by the WS champs every year.
