seriously, I won't even begin to point out the number of grammatical errors in this post.
When will you realize that strictly OFFENSE will not win you a championship. The Yankees have had majority of the guys in that line-up for the past 3 years and it really hasn't helped them reach the ultimate goal. I understand you're a die-hard Yankees fan but it doesn't take a genius to realize that your staff is decent at best. With all the injuries and question marks, it's almost naive to think your offense will bail you out each time. Any real knowledgeable baseball fan knows this.
Now how about you put some thought into your next post and let's have a real debate...not your typical "YANKEES HAVE WON 26 CHAMPIONSHIPS, REDSOX SUCK" argument and have a little insight. |
i totally missed this post....but since boston boy wants to get smart with people, here are a few little comments.
Sure the yankees have a shaky staff, but are you willing to admit your staff is pretty questionable??
How long do you think it will take for beckets 1.50 era to inflate back to reality? lets say in the 5.01 range where he landed last year. I am certain he will get shelled by the yankees on saturday.
How about Wakefield, who has a career 4.something era? His era will surely expand. Didn't he have an injury riddled season last year??
Julien Tavarez. I don't even have to say anything about this guy.
Curt shilling. How old is he?? 40. While schil was the man in the season you guys won, he's not the same pitcher, and he certainly isn't roger clemens. Seriously, this guy is due for a precipitous decline. It defies logic for him to improve or stay the same given he is greying and that he had that horrible injury. I'd be surprised if he is sub 4.00.
Lastly, 'Dice-K'. I don't really know what to think, and neither should you. While he lost his last two games, he didn't get any run support. Sure he had great numbers in Japan, but japan isn't america. I think he'll be good, but not 100 million good. I think you'll be unpleasantly surprised after the game on sunday.
I shouldn't even need to talk about how the yankees offense is ridiculously better than the red sox offense. How many guys are batting over .300?? Sure manny and ortiz will light it up eventually, but that still leaves 5 soft spots in the lineup. You can't even argue with that. Lugo, Pedroia, Crisp, Varitek, and Youk aren't exactly scary batters. And if you decide to argue that, take into account that i didn't consider lowell a soft spot. Post that against the yankees lineup where there are 3 soft spots (1b, C, LF). When matsui gets back your looking at 2 soft spots (1b and C). And posada is a quality player, im just putting him in there to give you the benefit of the doubt in case you want to argue about varitek or youk.
