Barry in the detested Pinstripes?

I don’t know about the other stuff, but I think at this point I’d actually be relieved to see him playing for any team that doesn’t have Los Angeles in their official names. I don’t really have any good reason to cite except that… well… I miss watching that swing…

To Be Honest

I was in Boston for a week in August before they made their incredible WS run. I got pretty wrapped up in it, and that is a town that takes their baseball very seriously. I can appreciate and respect that. Not to mention that fenway is fucking amazing (and the concessions are cheaper than here, wtf? 5$ beers! ) All teams have their share of douche bag fans (shit, a Giants fan fucking KILLED a Philly fan earlier this season, you can’t get any more douche bag than that).

What I dislike is how the media is so fucking Boston/New York centric. I hate hearing about those two teams all damn fucking day on ESPN as if there aren’t 28 other teams in baseball.

I understand fans in Boston are pretty cool. My wife lived there for however long and absolutely loved the town. She thought most fans at the game were great, but it got obnoxious when people started acting like they were huge fans of the team when they didn’t know anyone beyond Nomar (she lived there a while ago).

My beef is definitely with the media’s overzealous love affair of all things Boston/New York, and the transplanted Red Sox fans who moved to our fair state only to taint my home with their absolute obnoxiousness in all things Red Sox. It would be one thing if it were a few people here, but it seems like half the people I meet are from Boston, and they all want to complain about how you stand for every pitch at Fenway (can’t fit in the seat, dipshit), and you cheer all the time. HEY! If it’s so great in Boston, you pack up your shit, and you go home! GOT IT???

Understandable. I should have further said that I also hate the media’s dick riding of the SAWKS! It’s also really frustrating that the majority of games televised nationally are either the Sox, Yankees, or Sox and Yankees. I don’t even care that the Giants aren’t there, that’s fine, but fuck me I’d like to see some other teams (Rays, Royals, Orioles, Rangers, Reds, Brewers). Every one of these teams has at least a few reasons to watch and I only get to see them when they’re playing the Giants or A’s.

I think that before the season started they figured they were set at DH with some combination of Damon, Giambi and Matsui. With all the injuries and now that they’re in third place and probably a little desperate, they’re looking into other possibilities.

All they have to do is take of the contract and ship back two bags of shit in return.

I’ve never cared for Steinbrenner’s method. Just outbid everyone else for every superstar player. I always thought that was a load of crap. I also think it’s a load of crap to have a ridiculously low payroll too, which really does cheat the fans of your team. But overspending for high profile players all the time just seems like a load of crap to me, and basically makes you a target for the ire of every other baseball fan out there.

The trouble is...

You will never have 30 Steinbrenner’s. Right now there are only about 5 or 6 owners that could compete financially with the Yankees. And that would really suck, because then you would have all the best players, except the ones that hadn’t reached FA, playing for one of those 5 or 6 teams.

It is very difficult for small market teams to compete as it is right now. It would be next to impossibe in the 5 or 6 Steinbrenner-like owner scenario.

“You mean, people?”

The Red Sox have obnoxious fans sure, but Yankee fans will give them a run for their money in that category. I hate that he Red Sox have, and do spend a lot of money, but the Yankees have forced Boston into operating that way. It is the only way they can compete in that division.

If Barry plays for them, there is no chance he’ll be remembered as a Yankee. But the HR’s he gains adds to his stature as a Giant. If anything, a short time in pinstripes will get some die hard Yankee Bonds haters on his side, which can only help leverage the East Coast Media power into Barry’s camp.
