"Raise your hand if you love The Hills!"
This Yankees offseason would make John D. Rockefeller proud because I have never seen a monopoly like this since my Grandma's 80th birthday party (I was the thimble, of course) After landing a player they barely cared about and presumably leaving a black check in his stocking, the Yanks now have the top 4 highest paid players in baseball. But you know what, fuck them. I like being the underdog. It was kind of unsettling being the team that everyone hated and wanted to beat, so now everyone will play the Yankees twice as hard while we sit pretty with uniball Mike Lowell, and our band of hard nosed DirtDogs.
If you don't think Theo is gonna go out tomorrow and get the best pitcher, catcher, and hotdog vendor he possibly can because he is pissed then you are wrong. When I am at Fenway this year I am gonna boo the fuck out of the Yankees in hopes that it hurts their feelings just a LITTLE bit. Apparently Mark Tex has no soul and sold out just like Burnett and Sabathia. If he went to the Nats or O's I would have been OK with it because its his hometown and he rooted for them blah blah blah but this is just ridiculous. I am seriously wondering what the Yanks got him in essentially the same contract that we denied. And I wonder how much of that hour with the transvestite hooker cost them?
I would never wish harm on anyone but hopefully they all can be in a cab in NYC going to the stadium for opening day and one of those chinese basket bike things hits their taxi and they all get whiplash and cant play this year and the Yankees essentially waste a quarter of a million dollars. Recession? I think not for Mr. Steinbrenner and Co. Good for them though, getting what they want, but at what cost? And those players I just lost a lot of respect for, even though Tex is getting MVP money and he's never been closer than 7th in the balloting. LETS GO UNDERDOG SOX. The world is against us again, and I think that's how we like it.
