ITS ABOUT TIME

Finally the Yankees did what they were supposed to do… WIN. Yeah I’ll admit it I was wrong about A-ROD and wrong about Swisher but at this point in the season my preseason prediction still seems valid. I know that they got off to a shaky start but I am gonna stick with my prediction of a NATION divided when the Yankees have their parade in late October.  I along with the rest of the COUNTRY am pleasantly surprised with the production of Brett Gardner, Melky Cabrera and Fransisco Cervelli. I knew that Gardner and Melky were gonna be helpful but I had Austin Jackson as the 1st prospect to be called up not the ITALIAN STALLION . That’s right I actually have some faith in Franky because he has some that Kevin Cash and Jose Molina don’t have… a BAT!! In the preseason I also said that the Yankees were gonna have a killer bullpen but of coarse what I say about everything that ain’t HOKIES never ends up happening. I already have some ideas on who my AL and NL MVP candidates are AL 1st… Ian Kinsler, Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer and Carlos Pena. For the NL… Albert Pujols, Carlos Beltran, Adrian Gonzalez and Ryan Zimmerman. Out of these 8 names I like for the AL to be Justin Morneau and for the NL Albert Pujols. Both guys are power hitting 1st baseman and I have Morneau on my fantasy team. (Which is Beastly). But back to the Yankees.. I think that at the end of the season the rotation will be C.C., A.J. Pettite, Wang and then Hughes. The reason that Joba is not  on this list is because he will be in a bullpen “FAR FAR AWAY” and will be called “JOBA THE HEAT”. I also think that with this addition the bullpen will look somewhat like this. 6th/7th inning guys include Phil Coke, Jose Veras, Damaso Marte  andBrett Tomko. 8th inning is Joba and Brian Bruney. And then in the 9th is the SANDMAN, Mariano Rivera. If things turn out the way I think they will I’ll be saying how right I was back in May 19th 2009. Until next time PEACE IN THE EAST!!!

JOBA THE HEAT

Manny being Manny

“Manny being Manny” the phrase that will live on in Sox history forever. Well until last year when he was traded from the nation to Hollywood. I think that only one side benefited from this blockbuster deal and that side unfortunately for me as a New Yorker is the side of the NATION. The main reason is that they don’t have to deal with the BS that was Manny being Manny and now J-BAY as they like to call him is a monster hit with the people up north and you know what I must admit he is the best Yankee killer their ever was and will be.  You’re all asking yourselves why I didn’t say Ortiz. Well I have something that very few people in the media have today and that my friends is COMMON SENSE. I like a small population of sports fans think that yes BIG PAPI was using da Juice!! Here are some stats to prove it. From the year 2002 -2003 Ortiz went from .234 to .345!! and in that same 1 year span he went from 12- 31 HR’s and you guys cant just tell me its the Lobster because its not and I am going to give you list of people I suspect have done the Juice …. Carlos Delgado , Albert Pujols ,  Jim Thome , Prince Fielder and finally Carlos Pena. And that right there I think is just the tip of the Iceberg and I guarantee that at least 3 out of 6 of these names will come out within the next several years. Call me a Damn New Yorker or a BIAS Bastard but hey man I say what comes to my head and the Picture below describes it all.. Until next time I am out !!
