Well it’s been A while since I’ve written anything, and I don’t even know if anybody’s reading this, but I’ll write it anyway…

We got CC and A.J. That’s good news. Don’t say that CC’s arm is tired, because it’s obviously not. Everybody baby’s pitchers too much. That’s what they do, they pitch. CC can handle it.

I love Pettitte, but to be honest, he didn’t come through for us this year. So if we don’t get him, I won’t be that dissapointed, because I think it’s best for the team.

But we will be loaded with pitchers next year. CC, Joba, A.J., and the guy everybody forgets about, Wang. Plus Hughes and Kennedy are always an option.

It’s really not looking like we’ll get Tiexera. And I think we need him. More than we needed CC or A.J. Because the Yankees problem this year was their offense, not their defense.

Ok…I’ll start updating more. If anything happens, that is.

I don’t like the Phillies.

Looks like we probably won’t get Moose back…Which is dissapointing, coming off his best year. And the way Pettitte pitched this year, I’m not really sure I want him back. I love Pettitte more than anybody, but we need guys to perform. And he didnt really do that.

I hate Arod.

Not that it matters. Just thought I’d get that back out there.

Sabathia. I think people are making way too big a deal of his innings. All of a sudden pitchers can’t pitch or else they’ll hurt their arms.

I was watching an interview of a pitcher from back in the day, and they asked him what his highest pitch count was, and he said ’380′.

His arm is fine.

I could go on forever about Arod. Can anybody argue his case for me? Because I’ll be glad to listen. But there’s more to baseball than stats. He’s had great stats playing for the Yankees. And where has that brought us? No where. He can’t carry a team to a World Series. I don’t know why, because he obviously has the talent. But as long as he is on the team, I don’t think we will win.

I hope he proves me wrong. I really do. But I don’t think he will…

So, If your team happens to be playing the first game of a series on
Thursday, don’t be surprised to find out that Instant Replay will be in
effect for that game.

1.
The Umpires are part of the game. They say the will only use replay for
fair/foul calls, but once you use it for that, why not use it for
safe/out calls. And once you use it for that, why don’t you just
replace the umpires with a machine that calls balls and strikes? The
game is great because umpires are humans, and sometimes they screw up a
call, but more times than not, they get the call right. So don’t mess
with it.

2. We all like to see the managers argue. That’s another part of the game. Don’t take that away from us.

3.
You can’t change rules in the middle of a season. If it was the
post-season, which still wouldn’t make sense, it would be okay. But
just picking a random day to use replay doesn’t make sense.

But at least they’re only using it for home run calls-so far. Hopefully it stays that way.
