You all know I hate the Yankees, a fact which has been well established over the years, but I can't help but bring this up...I'm listening to Mike Francessa on WFAN coming back to work from my lunch hour, and Mike is talking about how the Yankees proved this past weekend that they are "still the Yankees," and they're "not going to let these young pitchers (Kennedy and Hughes) learn how to pitch at the major league level."
Which to me, makes me scratch my head even more about why the Yankees did not go harder after Johan Santana last off-season. I mean, here's a guy in Santana who is undoubtedly one of the top five pitchers in either league; he's won two Cy Young Awards; he's in the prime of his pitching life (not even 30 years old yet); he's set, he's ready to go, he's a known commodity; and we certainly know money is no object for the Yankees.... yet they curiously let him go by in favor of a couple of young unproven pretty much unknowns...
ONE OF WHOM IS NOW IN THE F**KING MINORS, AND ANOTHER OF WHOM IS NOW ON THE DL, AFTER A MUCH LESS THAN STELLAR PERFORMANCE THUS FAR IN 2008!!!!!
So let me ask you, in the words of one of my favorite Lethal Weapons quotes, which goes like this: "Who is the dickhead now, hmmm?"
