There are quite a few people on this board who haven’t learned a darn thing since the dynasty years.

Those teams were great primarily because of their starting pitching. They have not been back to the World Series since their rotation took a huge tumble after the 2003 season.

The dumbest thing the Yanks could do if they lose out on Sabathia is responding with signing Teixeira or focusing on offense.

This strategy hasn’t worked since 2004. Why does anyone think it’s going to work now?

What did Einstein once say?

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

They Yanks need to focus on the rotation. If they can’t land Sabathia and/or Burnett, there’s a chance Cashman could swing a major deal for someone else.

Settling for the Ben Sheets and Oliver Perez’s of the world as Plan B simply because they are available is like choosing between eating liver or dog food for Thanksgiving dinner.

They’ll need to find another way.

Focus on the rotation and defense and worry about offense later.

If people are dead set on watching this team miss the postseason again in 2009 – signing Teixeira as a backup plan for losing out on Sabathia is the perfect strategy going forward.

It all starts and ends with starting pitching. You’d think some fans might’ve actually paid attention those years they were winning rings.

Forget Teixeira. It’s a loser strategy.

NY Post is running with the CC/Angels rumor as well as Burnettt narrowing his choices:

“The Los Angeles Times reports: “The Angels, unwilling to meet Mark Teixeira’s desire for a 10-year contract, are in discussions with CC Sabathia and could offer him a contract that approaches the $140-million bid extended to him by the Yankees”

“The Baltimore Sun reports: “Free-agent right-hander A.J. Burnett has narrowed his primary focus to roughly a half-dozen teams, and the Orioles remain in the mix.” Also beleived to be included are the Yankees,Red Sox, Blue Jays, Phillies and Braves.”

Fredo, it was in the 50’s and sunny, course in teriffic shape. Wore a light sweater and never had to put on my windbreaker over that. Today wasn’t as good, the course was too soggy from overnight rain, but still fun.

I’m sure October would be better still.

Pujols can knock them all in because the other pitcher will be laughing his but off and throw a meatball for King Albert!

No wait … that’s Prince Albert. In a can. With 243 midget RBIs.

KING James will be with the Knicks.
