Tonight's game is not even over, but in reality, it is. I can't take the shit that is being broadcast to me over my television. The Yankees fucking suck. No other way to put it. This has been going on for roughly five years. I will now predict what will happen for the rest of the season. Continue to suck in May, slightly better in June, .500 for the month of July, hot streak in August which will lead to Baseball Tonight talking about "This is the team they expected, impossible to beat them when they play like this, etc", have a cocktease race for the Wild Card with the White Sox or some other sub-par team out of the Central for about a week, go 1-7 on a road trip and finish out the season 8 games over .500 and end up in 3rd place. (Swisher just struck out, game over).
I honestly do not know what it will take for this organization to realize that just throwing money at free agents like a retarded trust fund kid at the scene of a car accident is not the answer to their problems or how to win a World Series. The Yankee dynasty of the 90s was the result of George Steinbrenner not being allowed to be involved in the day to day operations of the team due to his suspension for hiring a schmuck to find dirt on Dave Winfield. I know that Steinbrenner is currently in an oxygen tent somewhere with Al Davis complementing each other on their white windbreakers and their success at ruining once proud franchises. (I also know that Hank is in charge these days, but I ask you this, is he really? Or is Hank really just George in a younger man's body through some amazing science experiment that has succeeded).
Gene "Stick" Michael was allowed to run the show when George wasn't around and he slowly built up a great team through the draft, key trades (Roberto Kelly for Paul O'Neill anyone?), and free agents that were solid, I repeat, solid players that were not the most expensive on the market.
Where have you gone Charlie Hayes, Mariano Duncan, Tim Raines, Jeff Nelson, Chad Curtis, etc?
While I'm reminiscing about the good old days of the 90s Yankees, remember when they used to have concerts after the game? I do. Yanks beat the Brewers, double play ended the game and then this group followed. They were the first band I ever saw in concert.
