What Really Matters

9/18 AJ Burnett

A hot streak right now could solve all the Yankees' problems. Joba and Andy, I'm looking at you.

This is a rotation and an offense that can go a long time without suffering a loss, but the offense hasn't been as relentless lately, and a few cracks have been exposed in the Yanks' armor. The MSM is going to make a lot of noise about the return of Dice-K and the Sox "juggernaut," but that's because they have to draw ratings and readers for the last 3 weeks of the season. Pay attention to the man behind the curtain, because it's really up to the Yankees to determine their fates.

11 wins in October.

Burnett needs to step up

More than the others on the list, Burnett in my opinion is the one needing to step up. He’s got the stuff. Does he have the ability to rise above comparisons to Kyle Farnsworth ….

True statement ...

However, the point was made: step up or face the possibility of being linked to Mr. Bag-o-rocks for brains.

did anybody watch ESPN last night/this morning?

i don’t usually watch ESPN anymore for obvious reasons but yesterday for the 5 minutes it was on my televsions Kruk admitted that the two people he was sitting next to were Sox fans and then that annoying guy who usually sits on the far left of the desk tried to downplay what Kruk said by saying that this is not “Red Sox network(or something like that” and then this morning before i headed off to class ESPN was openly advertising it’s new website “ESPNBoston.com”
ESPN isn’t even trying to hide the fact that they suck Red Sox d!ck anymore

would it amuse you to know

that outside of NY and Boston, ESPN is regarded as a Red Sox/Yankees network?

Its true...

And I also get a kick out of Red Sox fans complaining that the ESPN (and Buck and McCarver) are biased towards the Yankees….when to me as a Yankees fan its the complete opposite.

What the f$%k is the internet?
