If anyone hears of any kind of online petition to have George Steinbrenner whacked let me know.
The Miz is right about our success 98-00, Cone, Wells, Pettitte, Clemens, El Duque all pitched great, we had Mendoza, Jeff Nelson and Rivera in the BP. And hitting we just had so many solid guys, no real sluggers just consistency in guys like O'Neill, Bernie, Jeter, Martinez et al, even Scott Brosius came through when it mattered.
But the thing is then I look at our line-up right now with Jeter, Cano, Cabrera, Giambi, Damon, Matsui, Posada, Abreu, A-Rod. I mean thats about as good a line-up as any team is ever going to get offense-wise and doesn't include Sheffield (if he comes back), Wilson or Bernie.
Pitching wise Mussina has been great for us since he came over from Baltimore, add in Pavano (unless he dies in a canoe accident or something), Wang, Lidle with Bruney, Farnsworth, Proctor and Rivera in the BP.
I mean that's pretty fucking solid, adding a guy like Zito would probably just cement what is otherwise a ridiculously stacked team.
Relying on average starting pitching was always gonna mean this series wouldn't be a walkover, the fact that nobody turned up offensively meant we handed it to Detroit
If Steinbrenner goes on a rampage and cuts guys off left right and centre he'll just fuck things up even more, you can't win when you have a new team every year. Also getting rid of Torre would probably enrage our guys as much as it would the fans.
