Quote: Joe Mama said: Rob, you may have supported bad Yankee teams, but you never supported a team as bad as the Butch Hobson-era Red Sox.
80s yanks had some glorious years.
but if you wanna clear-cut it, i'll take you to a jets game one day!
you will believe a man can fly!
Quote: Joe Mama said: I don't support ownership's attitude of "we give up, we'll re-tool for next year".
that was your attitude!
Quote: Joe Mama said: What I don't support is ownership's seeming desire to do nothing at the trade deadline (there's no way I believe that NO deal could've been made without Lester, Hansen, or Delcarmen...too many other deals were made without other teams giving up major prospects). I don't support inexplicable trades AFTER the deadline (HINSKE??? WE NEED PITCHING!!!).
thats cool. there are a multitude of yankee decisions i hate and have hated. getting rid of my favorite players, and/or team icons, dumping mountains of cash on unworthy names, amongst them.
(i'd also like to throw in steinbrenner going over his team spending limit... then deciding to make it back by dropping his employees dental plans)
so, to a point, i can understand your side, now that i see what it is.
but, still, ....
like, i guess i can understand your points n'all. since losing good chunks of the team after october '04, i'd be pretty pissed too as a sox fan.
but i always think of the redeeming qualities to keep me around. even if i'm pissed at management, coaching, and pitching, and two or three bitchy players, there's always still one or two guys that you know are playing their hearts out that you wanna cheer for.
or to continue having fun in this thread, which you've often spent not talking about baseball a lotta the time. or you could take the lumps and tell us why you hate the team or this player or whatever. give us a soxian view. like how much i dislike arod or coudln't stand knoblauch (whatta fucking scumbag!)
or, fuck, just for the sake of watching the game with my pals or my dad. even if we're bitching out every onscreen move we see.
i guess i don't think i could pass up on all that.
