Playoffs Offsider just heard a great analysis by Curt Schilling.
Paraphrasing:
He pitches great. 6 innings 3 runs. That’s a win in July. That’s a loss in October. In October you have to pitch perfect.
He’s so so right. That’s something for the new GM to consider. Even had our wildest 2010 fantasies played out I’m not sure who was going to be that second starter who could lights-out the opponent.
Playoffs Outsider is torn in the NL. The Phillies in the World Series is a road to me making money and offsetting my Mets ticket purchases. However, the team of my ancestors has gone a long long time without winning and I like their orange alt jerseys.
In the AL, sorry kids. Gotta root for the big bad locals. It’s just television to me and I’m more familiar with baseball’s version of Dallas the tv show rather than actual baseball from Dallas. Cliff Lee, Josh Hamilton and a manager with some interesting hobbies just doesn’t do it for me.
Is Hank Steinbrenner dead? He was so entertaining for those 5 minutes when they let him speak.
My Yankees friend Mr. Sunshine now loves Ernie Johnson. He loves Joe Buck and the long-faded Tim McCarver. He sticks up for that mess on 88.
Basically if Carl Palladino and Rick Sanchez start calling Yankees games he will say they are good too.
The Yankees?! Really…I may have to boycott
