9 Random Thoughts While Watching the Yankees are up 77-35

  1. I think the whole Congress/Media/Roger Clemens steroids thing is disgusting. The media is full of self-loathing hypocrites that made a bunch of money off of the steroid era and are certainly partially responsible to blame for it but now have crawled up onto their self righteous horses made of wax paper. Roger is probably guilty but is this really something congress needs to worry about? How many people died in the Middle East today? How many people are living in the streets of America? How many people don’t have a job tonight and are in danger of losing their home? Too many and what is congress worried about? Flipping Roger Clemens and making an example of him. I hope everyone on that committee loses their next re-election bids. What happens when they lie? Nothing. Remember Ole Bill Clinton? This whole thing is just stupid.
  2. Javier Vazquez looked good tonight pitching in relief. Why? Well, Dorothy if you missed it, it’s because the game didn’t matter. If it had, I’m sure he would have been giving it up with the regularity of a broadway hooker. Of coures YES network interviewed him and are for some reason in love with him. I realize he may well be the nicest guy in the world but he cannot pitch when it matters.
  3. I think For Love of the Game is one of the best baseball movies ever. I love it.
  4. I don’t really understand why the media is so fired up over Manny being ejected on one pitch that was a foot outside. The umpire should be sent down to the minors. His strike zone was more inconsistent than a politician on a moral issue. Then he compounded the mistake by going all Rambo and tossing a player.
  5. I think the Rays should be moved out of Tampa. The bottom line is that their fans just don’t care about baseball. Did you see their attendance numbers this past weekend?
  6. The Pirates helped prove my point that we don’t need a salary cap, what we need is a salary floor. They made a 34.something profit last year. Of course, that is almost the exact amount that they had in their payroll. In other words, they could have almost doubled their payroll and broke even. We need to contract the Pirates or install that floor.
  7. I think the Reds are the biggest frauds since the Braves of the 90′s. They’re probably going to go to the playoffs and then they’ll fall apart.
  8. The Yankees had a heck of a month in August.
  9. The Yankees have some serious talent in their system. The players that they have brought up to replace A-Rod and fit pitchers into the rotation have got to give every Yankee fan a lot of hope for the future as well as the present.
