These Are The Reasons Angels Fans Can Smile
These Things make me happy. I guess it took New York media and ESPN's full blown coverage and over celebration of K-Rod's "dominance" and "historic season" for America to finally realize what a major league prick that Francisco Rodriguez actually is. The article goes on and on about how dominant K-Rod is and that him and Putz will close the door at the end of games... blah blah and more mumbo jumbo proving ESPN and their employees know nothing about baseball and that saves still rule the world.
But whoever takes the mound for the Mets will eventually hand the ball to J.J. Putz in the eighth inning, followed by K-Rod in the ninth.
Love him or loathe him, Rodriguez has made this much clear: He refuses to be ignored. The world (and the Phillies) will be watching.
Yup. Because I'm sure everyone in NY is more worried about a couple jerk-off 8-9th inning guys that play for the not-so-miracle Mets of 2009 as opposed to the $250M plus that was just spent and the front end rotation repair of the Pinstripes and the bagillion dollar Yankee Stadium that's set to open in April. All eyes on the Mets though, sure thing guys. Give it a month of K-Rod's antics and a couple blown saves and every ESPN writer will be critiquing the Mets for signing him. Good work, guys in Bristol.

It's been a long time since a "True Yankee" reference, but let's see if Sabathia and Burnett fit the mold that Jeter once created (that A-Rod clearly does not fit for some odd reason) and bring the Yanks back to the playoffs. If Sabathia goes 25-0 with 490 K's this year but starts Game 1 of the ALCS and goes 6 innings and loses 3-1, with Jeter hitting the only solo homerun of the game, expect all hell to break loose in Yankee-town.
