Yankee fan

While I am long time Yankee fan, I will already concede 2009 season. They simply cannot beat the better teams, such as Boston and LA. Have lost 12 times to both teams. What if they had even split?? Would be big difference, but that does not matter now. They do not have what it takes to win the big games that are necessary to win. Biggest downfall: Inconsistant Pitching. Hope you guys have a Merry Christmas and will see you in the spring of 2010.

3, the Sox beat the crap out of the Royals remember? Beckett had one of those shutout things?

LOl at the Red Sox fan talking sense into a doomsday Yankee fan.

Charger I suggest you keep PSA on bookmark, there’s gonna be a ton of these bandwagon jumpers over the AS break.

Hopefully we get a few CAPS LOCK , no paragraph threads.

I don't think that I have the heart to try and talk sense into them either

I know they are what give Yankee fans a bad name, but it’s like teaching calculus to a dog.

My favorite is when people sign up just to write a post about how Joba should be in the bullpen.

Were they concerned that their opinion was being insufficiently represented on the internet?

Wait.....there is a debate about where Joba should pitch?

I think I may have heard about that once or twice…..

a minute…….

for the past year.

joba has the letter “B” in it so it means he should be in the "B"ullpen…rite?

Wow….that is some defeatist /Met ..pre curse Red Sox fan type stuff being thrown about.. As a long time Yankees fan ,,,ie Pre 90’s think Bronx Zoo days .. I look at this team as being a playoff team and being a pitcher or 2 away from beating the Sawx and Angels and anyone else come Oct… Good pitching shuts down Good Hitting.. and Good D will make your Pitching better .. 2/5 ths of a good staff doesnt get it done in the Fall.. CC..AJ..Pettitte and Joba are not winning a 7 game series vs the Angels or the Sawx.. maybe not even the Tigers ..even if Wang came back to form your still not beating those teams.. You need 2 top level starters to push Joba back to the bullpen and compensate for Wang not being healthy..

Doc..CC..AJ.. Doug Davis/Garland/Bedard type … Pettitte make your rotation down right scary and create a sick a bullpen with Hughes/Joba..Aceves..Bruney.MO and Robertson/Coke.. You DONT win titles with a 4.54 Team Era not when your chief rival has Dice K ..Beckett ..Lester .>Papelpunk …Smoltz…Brad Penny and Wakefield not to mention a deep bullpen.. You cant hang with that … However I refuse to buy into that WOES ME … nonsense spewed by younger fans and spoiled fans that know nothing about the post Mantle days or the 18 yr drought between Reggie and Jeter..
