I *think* its Varitek.

 

If I'm right, you remember stuff like that after YES shows THE GRAPHIC~! everytime Jeter comes to the plate with the bases loaded.

What as it with the Yankees doing something and it suddenly turns into a "IT WAS OFF THIS GUY", "IT WAS OFF THIS TEAM"? Where the hell is this when other teams accomplish something big or important?

Perhaps because it was off JOE BOROWSKI and it was hit by the guy who supposedly the second coming Christ.

That has nothing to do with it though. When Bonds hit HR 600 or whatever, it wasn't "JEEZ, IT WAS OFF THIS GUY". It doesn't matter who it's off.

The guy had 33 saves before injury. He cannot be THAT bad.

 

Uh, yeah he can be. One season of excelling in an area that doesn't even necessarily constitute being good doesn't mean he's not bad. He's been okay at best his entire career. He's been awful the last two seasons. Who gives a shit if he had 33 saves one season? Danny Graves had 41 last season. Does that mean he wasn't garbage?

What's Bonds have to do with this? Don't act like the media hasn't been on Jeter's jock for years almost in the same fashion as Bonds.

But that's not the point. Everytime a Yankee does something, it's always followed by "It's only off of this guy" or "Only to this team". It doesn't happen with any other team.

I think that's all in your head. You Yankee fans are way too defensive anytime someone questions them. They're on a hot streak right now and with a payroll like that, they should be. Sorry if not everyone is as amazed by getting homers of Jose Mesa and Joe Borowski as you guys are.

13 run inning, it's only the Devil Rays.

 

10 game winning steak, it's against wack AL West Teams.

 

The extra inning comeback win, off of Mesa.

 

Jeter's first grand slam, it's only Borowski.

 

Do all of your team's achievements only come off the Cardinals? I mean really, you only here it when the Yankees do something here.

When I dismissed Giambi's home run, it was a cautionary tale that it does not mean a resurgance to old form for Giambi. I didn't mean to dismiss his accomplishment.

 

In this case as well, it is nice to see Jeter finally come through in the clutch. Maybe now he can get the monkey off his back.

For what it's worth, I think Bartosh has given up at least one homer his last few appearances. :)

 

13 run inning, it's only the Devil Rays.

It was impressive, but c'mon, the Devil Rays are hardly a major league team. It was an impressive feat, but they were right back to sucking ass the next day.

 

10 game winning steak, it's against wack AL West Teams.

And didn't they proceed to go on a terrible losing streak shortly after that AL West bend came to a close?

 

You guys may think people unfairly crap on the Yankees and their accomplishments, but for as much money as this team makes and as good as they're supposed to be (going by pre-season analysists), you'll have to excuse those of us who don't drop their jaws in amazement when these things happen now and again.

Whatever, I don't ask you to drop your jaw, but if "IT WAS OFF THIS GUY, WHO CARES" is all you have to add, then don't say anything.

Buck: "GRAND SLAM MANNY RAMIREZ" and meanwhile some Yankee fan would say "It's just CARL PAVANO, it's not a big deal!" it's feels like a hippocrat is in this thread.

Um, no.

 

The posts would be similar to the ones last night, as in, ranting on Pavano.

A hippocrat is somebody who advocates government by horses.

Finally! I don't care who he hit it off of, the point is he hit it. Never understood how someone can do that well with the bases loaded and never hit a granny, especially since he's a 15-20 hr a year guy.
