I have been a
New York Yankees fan since I crawled out of the womb. One of my first pictures was of me in a Yankees hat in the hospital. Now that I've got that out of the way... GOD HATES THE YANKEES. I've heard it from non Yankee fans for years... all the problems with the organization. We buy championships... but apparently we can't afford a good strength and conditioning coach. My best friend (A Phillies fan) says he hates the Yankees because you can go to Idaho and see someone in a Yankees hat... so what good marketing! East coast bias... we love to see the mighty fall. But what's happened?
The Yankees now have a starting rotation on the DL... not one or two... FIVE pitchers. I don't even want to talk about Pavano, but what are the chances that two young pitchers get hurt within a game of each other. My theory... someone near the top of the organization sold their soul to the devil for arguably the best line-up in baseball... unfortunately they didn't have the lawyers look at the fine print because the Yankees need to win without pitching. If Pettitte gets hurt they might as well implode the stadium now and wait for the new one to be built.
