I had the #1 pick. The funny thing is that I was busy at work and forgot about draft night. My cousin picked the team for me in my absence. I think that he he did a pretty good job.
I find it very humorous. There's never any accountability when the Yankees lose. There's always an excuse. At least when the Red Sox lost to KC, we bitched about the lack of offense, the manager, the lack of pitching, etc. We knew the fault was within the Red Sox organization, not with the umps or the "loose" Royals. Pathetic excuses.
Bledsoe, Drew QB DAL
McNair, Steve QB BAL
Brown, Ronnie RB MIA
Johnson, Larry RB KC
Burress, Plaxico WR NYG
Holt, Torry WR STL
Cooley, Chris TE WAS
Vinatieri, Adam K IND
Panthers, DST DST CAR
What about Luke Hudson k'ing Abreu and Giambalco to end the 7th. Games rarely turn on 1 call. Witht the talent differential between the Royals and the yankees, you should have no complaints if you had to spot them a run or two.
No whining just pointing out a fsact that the stadium was empty on Labor Day weekend game against a playoff contender, because idf a misting rain. That's pathetic. Fenway is filled on days like that when the temperature is hovering in the 40's. The difference is that Yankee fans are delicate little momma's boys.:thumbdown They could catch a cold.
It's not his fault the FO didn't want him back. They low-balled him. He wanted to come back. He was practically begging to come back and the fans wanted him back. Only the FO didn't want him back, screwing him and the fans. It kills me to see him in a Yankee uniform, but I bear him no ill will as long as the Yankees lose.
We had an interesting thread during Spring Training about how many innings Papelbon should throw this year. Of course, that's when we thought he would be a starter. A lot of people felt that he could handle a load of 200+ innings. Going up to that level of innings for a kid that has never been near that number of innings always carries the risk of breakdown. This kid is so intense that he wouldn't let up when he was hitting the wall. They've been monitoring him closely in the closers role, but his intensity plus the fact that ML innings are much different than innings at any other level resulted in him being overworked. When he gets older and more established, he'll get to know his limits better and he'll be better able to read the signals that his body gives him. Hopefully, the next time he starts to feel that fatigue he'll recognize it sooner and he'll shut it down for a couple of days before he gets injured.
Yankke Stadium is empty today. Your team is comfortably in first place on a long Labor Day weekend, playing a playoff contender and the place is empty. Yankee fans are such a bunch of delicate little wussies.
