An Irrevrent View Of MLB and The Yankees,
From way out behind the 318 Sign.
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Robert (21NYY21) from the SIH Forums, and one of the writers here at the SIH Blog. I am a lifelong Yankee fan, originally from Lake Hopatcong NJ, but now living in Ocala Florida. I am a bit of a cynical and sarcastic fella, and I try to look at the lighter side of things. That being said, please enjoy the following post.
***Please note....the views expressed in this post are not necessarily the views of the SIH team, nor should they be considered the views of anyone sane or logical. In fact, after reading the thoughts of this writer, you should probably seek psychiatric counseling.
My top 10 observations, questions and Predictions for the 2010 Yankees Season
- Screw the powers that be for tearing down Gate 2. (That means YOU Mr. Bloomberg)
- What's the over/under on days that Nick Johnson will be on the DL?
- Who designed a schedule where the Bombers play the Angels 6 times in April, and then only two more times the rest of the year? (Probably the same people who think that interleague play is the greatest thing since sliced bread)
- Carl Crawford....Trade Deadline Yankee or Free Agent Yankee? (My Prediction? Joba and a Prospect or two at the deadline for Crawford)
- The RED SUX will NOT make the playoffs. Great pitching, lackluster offense, great defense..not enough... (Oh yeah, by the way BUCK FOSTON!)
- CC Wins 20, Pettitte wins 15, Javier wins 13, Burnett Busts, and Hughes shows that he should be starting.
- Cano makes a serious run at MVP, but loses out to Tex. (But Cano teaches all the other Yankees the strange handshake-fist bump combo that he did with Melky, and the Yankees make a special appearance on So You Think You Can Dance?)
- Who hits more HR's....A-Rod or Tex? (Going with A-Rod here, but only because of the bionic implants that were put into his hip during "blood-platelet" therapy)
- The Steinbrenner clan makes contact with the mother ship sometime next week, and pays them a handsome sum for two more years of stellar performance from Mariano. (Come on, you don't seriously still believe that Mo is a human right?)
- Game 6 WS....CC pitches 7 innings of 4 hit ball, and the Yankees top the Rockies 4-3 on a bottom of the 8th 2 run HR by Tex. (Sterling commences the Sterling shake, and explodes all over Suzyn Waldman, who in turn exclaims "GOODNESS GRACIOUS" and explodes as well. Next year, we get Michael Kay and Ken Singleton in the radio booth....hey I can dream can't I?)
NOW HOW ABOUT WE GO OUT AND PLAY SOME BALL!
