Fans have to realize that their team is not always going to be the best. The changes in the CBA has hindered the Yanks moving forward along with the long term contracts. I won't be easy for the Yanks to field a championship team moving forward, but it is possible. As most people, I am on the fence with Cano moving forward. I think it can work either way, but losing you best player to free agency is not in the Yanks DNA. I always say pitching wins, and this team has remained in contention by pitching well, that is where the team needs to focus moving forward.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-31277466706708037562013-06-27T21:42:09.000-04:002013-06-27T21:42:09.000-04:00doug...Not that I disagree with the pitching thing...doug...<br>Not that I disagree with the pitching thing (because I don't) but, There are three main parts to a baseball game...Stop the others from scoring, stop the others from hitting and score more points than they do...we win!<br>To be a winning team, one must have a good balance between; pitching, defence and hitting! Many teams have tried to win the WS with one part or another even two parts sometimes.<br>Pitching is where everything starts so, Pitching is only as good as the players behind it (more often than not), one must score to win! Last and sometimes most overlooked by many is defence!<br>Good Pitching HELPS win games no more no less than the other two but, the better one part of the three is the less we need depend on the other two....maybe you can write it better and with much less trimmings, I hope! :)oldranger7noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-68778638699376377402013-06-27T20:35:11.000-04:002013-06-27T20:35:11.000-04:00GOOD EVENING...MLB's rumor of Ian Stewart goin...GOOD EVENING...MLB's rumor of Ian Stewart going to the Yankees...Huh?<br>Anyone look at his numbers?

You need to average at least 5 runs a game to be a championship team. The last 10 years the Yanks were averaging over 6 per game, this year only 3 and change. My point to Brain's article was that the Yanks can stay competitive with good pitching first and for most and then improve there position players. Although that is there biggest problem with long term contracts and big salaries, the pitching will keep them in the hunt.dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-53896586969646096962013-06-29T06:07:32.000-04:002013-06-29T06:07:32.000-04:00RETICENT...I like that.51/2 games out, and approac...RETICENT...I like that.<br>51/2 games out, and approaching the kill zone.<br>To fall a few more games behind, as composed,.....it's over.<br>Kenneth, hope this finds you well.patrickhttp://gravatar.com/patrickwalsh14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-72717893187631116672013-06-28T17:10:02.000-04:002013-06-28T17:10:02.000-04:00patrick...Don't be so reticent about it, we al...patrick...<br>Don't be so reticent about it, we all know the culprits!

Yes, Whitey Ford doctored the ball with the help of Yogi. Others took pills, had shots from doctors, you name it <br>As for rounding 3rd base and saying "yah" or whatever, or crossing the pitcher's mound, or any of and most of the things done by A-Rod over the years are nothing more than real hard-nosed baseball, it is called...get the edge! <br>If you don't get caught, you ain't cheating. Also, if it ain't in the book it ain't a rule!<br>Yes, A-Rod tried Roids while in Texas but, they didn't seem to help him that much...99% of HR hitters playing in Texas, saw their numbers go up...the ball flies out of there.<br>You see, I saw those HoF players and I saw them play tough baseball because, they didn't make much money at all and the WS money, was their raise.<br>There are many things about the old timers not known by you fans, Joe D was not a very nice guy at all, players respected him but that is it. It is said by a player that wrote a book...Mickey M was drunk all the time...not so at all. There is not one man in the world that could play Baseball drunk all the time so, get real, because one guy takes a shot. Fans believe it..."Gee, if it wasn't true, they wouldn't print it, right...try YES they would!oldranger7noreply@blogger.com
