The worst thing that could happen to the Yankees right now is a winning streak... And we're up to three in a row. Good morning Yankees fam!!— Greedy Pinstripes (@GreedyStripes) July 20, 2016
Yes, the fair-weather pinstripes. Someone actually had the
audacity to tell me I should change the blog name from the Greedy Pinstripes to
the Fair-Weather Pinstripes because I want to sell at this season’s trading
deadline. Am I crazy or have I been watching a different team than everyone
else this season? Am I foolish to not want to give up top prospects and key
pieces for the future to add to a team that currently employs an aging CC
Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez, Carlos Beltran and others or am I in the majority
that wants to start thinking about beyond this season and the repercussions
that come along with it? I’m really confused now.
I had to literally step away from the conversation. The
conversation went south so quickly it wasn’t even funny. I was called a moron
and had my fandom and passion for this team I love and give my soul and time to
each and every day not only on this blog but in my real life as well questioned
because I didn’t want to see the team make a feeble push at the second Wild
Card and a potential, yet unlikely, push deep into the postseason?
What really got to me is the blatant disrespect towards me
and the disregarding of my opinion because my opinion did not agree with his.
First of all I’m not an insider nor am I an expert, and I never claimed to be
for the record, but what I am is a guy with a blog and an opinion and that’s
what I put out there. Read it or not but don’t disrespect me. I don’t go out of
my way to disrespect ANYONE both on this blog and in my life and I don’t
appreciate not getting the same in return. I’m sorry but I had to get this off
my chest because I don’t tend to let this linger.
@GreedyStripes at least i have passion and heart for my team. Im not a fairweather asswipe like you who roots for his team to lose. Gtfh!— BADGUY74 (@paulrovira1) July 20, 2016
Daniel, don't pay any attention to morons like this. I'm in agreement with you. Could this team continue to play like they are now? Sure, I've seen it happen to other teams in the past. It's not like I'm rooting against them. I just think that the team shouldn't trust this current win streak. I don't think anybody is advocating for a fire sale. We have pieces other teams want. I would rather move them now, then lose them at the end of the season for nothing. If this team is going to make it to the wild card game, they're going to do it with or without guys like Chapman and Beltran.
ReplyDeleteThis guy was a complete tool bag. I continually asked him for a realistic option the Yankees should buy in this market and he could only say that I was either
DeleteA) an idiot
B) an ass whipe
C) fair weather fan
D) acquire Chris Archer. When I said that wasn't realistic he went back to A.
That's why you can't pay attention to people like that. It's pretty hard to have a conversation with somebody that's unable to see reason. Believe me, I've tried! (See Hans vs. Gardner) Anybody that knows anything about baseball knows what you were trying to say.

DeleteDaniel, I was about to jump down your throat for this line of yours; "Am I foolish to not want to give up top prospects and key pieces for the future to add to a team"....sorry about that, I miss read it the first time. Then I saw the word NOT between "to" and "want".
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Jeff...you think that is bad try being 5' 9" and 172# having to prove yourself every day, just think of it as a challenge of life, you know who and what you are and so do your friends and most readers. Just be who you are, that always works!
That's all that I am. Me. Imperfect, passionate. Me.
