Damn Yanks or Damned Yanks

Them Yanks

If you think they would just sit there and go moo all winter waiting for green grass to grow under their feet, well forget that.

These are still for the most part your fathers Yankees, they added 35 year Carlos Beltran, they added 30 year old Brian McCann to catch re signed 38 year old Hideki Kuroda.

Jeter is back, and he is older, Big Tex is back at 1st base, and he is older and more fragile.  The Yanks lost Robinson Cano, and if you believe that does not hurt the Yanks, then your are smoking wacky tobacco.

The Yanks infield reads like an Abbott & Costello comedy routine of who's on first, doesn't it folks. They spent money, so what is knew, they got thee big fish, Tanaka, and that will help. But....Sabathia , Tanaka and prayer.
No more Mo ...and that will be different. First time in many a year.


Where will the team finish...I could do the same evaluation, like the O's and Red Sox, the batting averages, the ERA projections.

Just to satisfy those that"just wanna know", here you are. ( see above )

No Arod controversy since he is suspended for one year, but expect the tabloids to have many side stories as Alex decides to tell his side through the press.

The team has outfield, give them that at least, but that infield of Brian Roberts, Derek Jeter, Kelly Johnson and Teixiera is creaky and I guarantee won't hold up this season.



57 years ago this came out, wish I had a copy, but the Bronx Bombers were on top of the world, now they sit on top on the most money spent.

Who is their best player ?

Is it a 24 year old Japanese pitcher ?

Is it a centre fielder stolen from their hated Red Sox rivals ?

Time has caught up with this team, they just refuse to look at their own drivers license. If they were milk, we would have poured them down the drain.  But this organization has lasted a long time, and will re invent themselves, again.

It is their nature and their destiny to be the New York Yankees.
