In fact, I want to be the first on the blog (that I know of, at least) to predict that this is the year we win it all.

I think we’ve got the perfect blend of veterans, particularly those in their last year of their contracts who know this is their last, best hope for a ring, plus great kids who don’t even know how much pressure they’re supposed to feel. Add in a long-overdue new manager, who absolutely won’t tolerate complacency and will have this time prepared and fired-up for the post-season, as well as a deep bench and farm system to fill-in for the inevitable injuries, and I think we’re in for a magical year.

I think he needs a new junk pitch, or do something else to adapt. When he pitches under 90 he is “done”, but there are MANY old ( I mean over 40) starting pitchers with worse stuff and similar results who get a pass. Mmaybe he just needs to try to be a groundball pitcher, I dont know.

and this is what i get for posting without reading.

actually, if it was a joke, it was pretty good. TOO good. that was the problem.

sorry about that. well done.

in the history of this esteemed blog, this might be the dumbest comment ever posted. and that is really saying something.

wow.

Your favorite team is the Yankees?

Well you must be 11 years old then. And if so, that’s cool.

If you’re a day over 11 and think the Yankees should “bench” mussina until he demands a trade…you need a clue.

You realize you are still paying him MILLIONS of dollars.

Would you demand a trade if you were getting paid Millions to save your arm and travel with the Yankees?

Mussina is a boarder line HOFer playing in the hardest division in baseball.

It was February 72 hours ago.

it snowed yesterday.

It’s March 3rd, and you claim Mussina is done?

did you watch him pitch or just look at the box score?

Wait until Joba has a bad outing. Or Ian, or they call up Alan Horne and he walks Manny Ramirez to cost them a game.

Those guys will be next up on the DFA Train.

The bottom line is, baseball is a game of failure. How you handle it determines the kind of player you become.

Something the younger generation of fans simply don’t understand.

They are probably the same fans who declared that Eli Manning would NEVER win a Super Bowl.

How did that turn out?

They’re the same ones who said Abreu was done, or Arod can’t play in NY.

Young and impatient fans spoiled by the Yankees success in recent years. They think every rookie coming up will be a superstar and every vet who has a down year is “done”.

Oh well. Some people never learn…
