![]() But of course, its okay because he's our hired hand and its the "Yankee-way". How can you, as a fan, take any pride in something that we all knew was coming for months? How can you take any pride in AJ Burnett winning a big game for you when he's only been there since April 1st? When you won your division title, it was because you were supposed to, not because you earned it. If only the other teams did too, and if only you had to appreciate the joy that actually came with winning and not just a bunch of hired-gun primadonna's that come together as mercinaries and call themselves the "New York Yankees" every season. Wow! Now that's what I call "filling in the gaps". Well, at least you have your sorry-ass Knicks and Ranjerks that will bow out in the 1st round like they do every year.Ĭonsider the fact that you had the ability to sign the top hitter on the free agent market in Traitor Tex, Mark Teixeira and the top two pitchers in AJ "not big game" Burnett and CC "career postseason 6.54 ERA" Sabathia in one off-season. There are 17 year old Pittsburgers who have never seen their baseball team so much as in the playoffs, something that you consider your birthright.Īt least they have their Penguins and Steelers, right? 500 record, thus haven't made the playoffs. In the case of the Pirates, consider that for 17 consecutive seasons (that's 1992 for those of you not quick on the draw) they haven't even had a.
