Editor’s note: This masterpiece came from a blogger on the Yankees fan site, Yankeeroundtable.com. A pleasure for Sox fans to read…
I am so sick of this team. I want everyone fired. I want the baby, the bathwater, the sink, the toilet, the whole bathroom out the window. I’ve been watching this since 2004. It doesn’t matter who you bring in, it’s the same thing. Humiliation. Pain. Nothing but pain watching this pathetic organization.
Ok. Let’s talk. The Red Sox are better in every aspect of baseball. EVERY. Shall we dissect it?
The GM. Yeah, that’s right. Their GM is better. He consistently does more with less money. Any moron can throw $130 million at the top free agent pitcher and sign him. Who cares? Manny Ramirez, a HOF right handed hitter is gone? No problem, let’s swing a deal for Jason Bay. We’ll bat him sixth, it really doesn’t matter and he’ll torture the Yankees. GM better, check.
The Manager. Oh yeah, that’s right. They have a better manager in the dugout. Yeah, Yankee fans used to be so arrogant about Terry Francona. You know what. He was better than Torre in the last 3 years of Torre’s tenure. and he’s much better than Girardi. That team loves playing for Francona. Oh yeah, Manager better, check.
The Players. Oh yeah, that’s right the players are better. Duh? Ellsbury is better than Gardener. The bloom is off that rose. Drew is better than Swisher. Bay is better than Damon. Pedroia is better than Cano. And Youkilis is better than TEX. Lester is better than Joba. Beckett is better than Sabathia. Dice K is better than Wang. Better, better, better. Posada is better than Varitek, of course, Varitek can still hit a grand slam whenever he wants. Oh and by the way, I’m sick of Matsui, get him out of here. Send him to Texas where he can DH or something. The bullpen is better, (see GM above).
They have a better stadium now. Better, better, better. Our stadium is like a total superficial wannabe park. Kind of like Disney World. The people who drive the cabs, put out the fires, staff the hospitals and work in the schools want to root for the Sox and go to Fenway. What do we have? We’re like Zsa Zsa Gabor, Chairo, Liberace, and all the other no-talent, empty-headed, pretty boys who want to make another run on the Love Boat. They want to come toedfa Yankee Stadium. The real gritty and passionate fans don’t want to come to Yankee Stadium and can’t identify with this team enough to really root for it and care about it. And you know what? That’s what really stinks about this. If I’m going to get embarassed, I at least want to be the underdog. But I can’t claim the underdog status when I got a $200 million payroll and the Magic Kingdom for a baseball stadium. Yeah, the Sox may have really lost their underdog status a few years ago, but it doesn’t really matter. All the real baseball fans root for them anyway.
I can’t stand what this organization has become.
