[260] William, are you that down on a team that is currently the best team in baseball?

[260] Again, a team will beat good pitchers, they’ll lose to bad pitchers. It happens within the ebb and flow of a season. They shouldn’t lose to pitchers like Moyer, Lopez and Kendrick, but you fail to mention, that during that “recent spate of bad losses” they’ve beaten Santana, Pelfrey and Halliday.

[258] You’re free to your opinion, but in mine, the Yankees performance over the last week or so has frequently been all of the things I mentioned. I am sorry if you are not comfortable with my criticisms, but I think we can each enjoy the team in our way. I hope that’s ok with you?

[259] Sure, but the Yankees recent spate of bad losses have been bunched together and come amid some very questionable efforts. It’s great that the team can still manage such a fine record in spite of their problems, but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored.

[257] What do Sidney Ponson (8-9, 5.27), Frankie Rodriguez (4-6, 6.56) and Jeff Juden (1-3, 6.75) have in common? They all won games against the 1998 Yankees (114-48).

A team will beat good pitchers, they’ll lose to bad pitchers. It happens within the ebb and flow of a season.

[257] I never put words in your mouth…this is a written forum. But you have stated with regularity that the Yankees were disgraceful, pathetic, embarrassing, incompetent, terrible, etc. It’s a game played by humans who cannot always be perfect, and the team is better than all others right now. They are headed for a 100 win year, based on the record so far, but nothing is a given. Enjoy yourself, and respect their achievements and don’t be so disappointed when they fail. What can you do about it?

[256] You keep trying to put words in my mouth, but they are the wrong ones. I think this team is SO GOOD that they shouldn’t lose to pitchers like Lopez, Padilla and Kendrick, and shouldn’t put on displays of bad baseball like we saw on Wednesday. If anything, I probably overrate this team, but I expect them to be a 100 win team. I am sorry you don’t seem to share my high expectations.

Also to the contrary, I love watching these games. No break needed, but thanks for the suggestion.

[243] Such pleasant memories, such unpleasant current realities. In your estimation, how are the current Yankees so bad, but have an off the charts winning percentage this late in the year? How did they win the World Series last year? You must be miserable watching these games. Maybe you should take a break?

[249] I saw Donnie get tossed from a game once, and I think that only happened a couple of times. Imagine, I go to see favorite player, he gets called out on strikes then he gets tossed! Anyway, as recall, he didn’t even get hot then…either ump overreacted or Donnie said something really nasty. Either way, he certainly didn’t react with visible anger like this evening.

Monkey I don’t think Donnie’s a traitor. He’s just not on my team.

According to PitchFX, every called strike was correct.

On the other hand, kind of classic seeing Torre have to eat it with Mo getting those calls.

[234] He got very hot a couple times when he was criticized by George, but never on the field during a game.

Sox lose, fuck yes!!!!!!

Oh, here’s a slightly funny story – so I sent my friend who’s reasonably high up in the Rays organization a congratulatory note when they beat the Sox in the ALCS headlined, “From the files of Fuck Yes!”

He loved it, and suggested that he was going to get some stationary printed up with that heading.

Manny had one pitch–the 1-2 pitch–to hit from Mo and he fouled it off.

[225] Blasphemy.

[236] I gotcha Al. I like Donnie. I really. He was my favorite player in the 80′s. Loved him. Poster on my wall, etc.

But, I pretty much don’t like the guys who are against my team. Donnie complaining about a pitch from Mo is also a complaint against a popular player, as I see it. But really it just comes down to this — I loved Donnie. I will love Donnie again when he comes back. But right now he’s the enemy.
