I just looked and was actually surprised to find 4 of the Yankee top players actually came through their own system. Jeter, Pettit, Posada and Rivera. Gardner and Robertson? also were drafted by the Yanks but don't play much. All said I can't get too excited about a team so highly favored (and compensated)winning. What was fun was watching them lose for the last 9 years!
Thanks to nearly a billion dollars of government cheese, the Yankees can buy a lot of things......sorry, I can't get into this one. I'll keep cheering for one of the few teams in a privately funded, privately owned stadium, even though they haven't won a series since 1908.
Sorry, just can't get with the Evil Empire. Definitely preferred the Fightin' Phillies in this matchup.

ReplyDeleteI was pinning for the Phills to... no dice.
ReplyDeleteGood series though.
Personally, I wasn't so much pro-Yankees as I was ANTI-Red Sox. Anything to stick in the craw of Red Sox Nation, I'm all for!

ReplyDeleteIs baseball still a professional sport? I stopped watching it years ago.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to remember the glory days from my youth. We had a dynasty in Apple Valley during the late 60's, early 70's.
I was about to write, "Screw you Carlson," but then I thought that such words might be considered unbecoming. So instead...

ReplyDeleteNah, that's fair game considering I told RSN to SUCK IT!!!!
