The Yankee's hitters need to check their e-mail and start answering some solicitations for cheap Cialis and Viagra, because the offense is impotent right now. I know Erik Bedard's a good pitcher, but only advancing one runner to second base is embarrassing and pathetic.
Jorge Posada. Alex Rodriguez. Derek Jeter. Those are the only competent offensive players on this team. They happen to be three exceptional players, but they're getting no help whatsoever. Hideki Matsui has completely disappeared this year. Bobby Abreu died in 2005. Oh, and MIGUEL CAIRO IS STILL STARTING GAMES AT FIRST BASE.
Being a Yankees fan this year is like being in love with an alcoholic. How can you trust and support someone who refuses to admit they have a problem? How can you help someone who refuses to help themselves? The Yankees stubbornly deny they have problems, despite starting a middling utility infielder at first base and carrying a rotting corpse at backup catcher. They can't admit that Kyle Farnsworth destroys everything he touches. Joe Torre fails to ever learn from his mistakes, no matter how costly and egregious.
I still love this team, but they're abusing me. They're willfully neglecting their responsibility to put the best team possible on the field. Is that what it feels like to be a Pirates fan?
