The best thing about that rant - is that the guy is a Yankee fan. Classic.
He's that typical NY fan that if one person pointed out the shortcomings of his team, he would say no way and go on and on about how good they are, but if someone were to say "boy the yanks are really stacked this year" he would basically recite that rant and more.
Yeah, you're right. But how often do you see Yankees fans get so negative before the season? It feels pretty weird. Good weird.
I have to say, I agree with him on most of his points. Well, except the Jared Wright one. I like how he says first that Wright should be given more consideration because of his DIPS numbers; and in then talks about how Vazquez and Brown were both good DIPS pitchers but sucked. Um...
In other news, Selena Roberts of the NYT just referreed to Bill Belichik as "Coach Protractor". (It was meant as a complement). I like that name. Never before have I seen so many NY sports writers (NYT, Post, Daily News) have so many nice things to say about a a New England team. Bizarro-World.
...Well, what do expect when the Red Sox are World Champions?
