Here's another. Lets say the Yankees lose. The NY media will say how in the hell did the Yankees lose to such a shitty team. The Cleveland media will be elated saying " Look we beat the Yankees, we must be good."
Now about the city issue. In NY if we lose, we still have a great city to live in. In Cleveland, even if you win it all, you still have to live in that shithole of a city. Good luck with that.  |
First off, with a payroll like the Yankess, me and everyone else expects them to make the post season and win it all.
If I remember right, Cleveland was an AL power house in the mid 90's and the Yanks finally started winning again in what 1996-97? The Indians beat the Yanks in the playoffs back in 1997 3 to 2.
I keep reading about A-Rod this and A-Rod that. The guy is the best REGULAR SEASON player ever and will pass B Roid for the homerun title down the road sometime. He is the complete package EXCEPT he is not a clutch player. In the few years with the Yanks, people always called his numbers garbage numbers since a lot of HR and RBIs came late in games when it didn't matter and the game was already basically over. I will give it to him this year since he did produce some walk off hits and should be the AL MVP. BUT when it comes to playoffs, it seems he just shuts it off. To me he looks so uncomfortable at the plate, maybe he is not wearing enough purple lipstick??? I have always disliked the Yankees and wished Cleveland would have finished them off tonight but I guess it will have to wait until game 4.
Jeter is the only Yankees I like. He plays the game hard, heck he plays every pitch like its Game 7 of the WS. Jeter's picture should be next to the definition of clutch!
GO ANYONE EXCEPT THE YANKS!!! as much as I would like to see Red Sox vs Yanks, come on Indians!
