15 of Pedro Ciriaco’s 36 hits this year are against the Yankees. That is all

He’s the epitome of an MLB lazy ass, doing the bare minimum to secure a contract. That is, destroying the Yankees as a member of the Red Sux, and otherwise, being worthless. But, it will work for him! Watch him get locked up for a while.

Pedro Ciriaco’s numbers against the Yankees demonstrate clearly that he will become the next David Ortiz of the small market Red Sox squad. Their gritty gutty erection-inducing win today has once again assured all the haters and those non-delusional souls out there that the Sox can and will indeed make a push for the WC spot in the 2012 MLB postseason. AGon raised his RBI total to 698 and his batting average to .987. Jon Lester proved that his entire lackluster 2012 season has just been a fluke. I would write more but I just creamed my panties and have to go change. More drivel to come soon so stay tuned.

Uh and the reason he hasn’t been put on his ass yet is? Honestly Joe would you please stop managing like this is spring training, what the hell was lazy ass Andruw Jones doing in right field? I don’t give a fuck what Cashman said. A disturbing trend appears to be developing, I will put my worst defensive team on the field no matter who the opposing pitcher. Why the fuck is this man determined to sit Chavez against any left handed pitcher?

Girardi is the only manager in baseball who would sit someone (Chavez) who has been hitting over .600 and plays incredible third base. Even Brad Mills of the Astros wouldn’t do that shit, and he was just fired!

Until the other day, Ichiro had not sat a game out yet. But, he has a 5 RBI night– tying his career best– and he sticks him on the bench for TWO FUCKING GAMES. I don’t know how the fuck this team can win games between the massive amount of injuries to core players… and their manager, who benches everybody as soon as they put up incredible numbers.

Casey McGeHee was being released for a reason. He couldn’t catch a fly ball! Russell Martin had to run all the way out to the pitcher’s mound to make a last second diving catch! He’s a fucking statute. At least Nunez tried! Damn… you know anytime you begin a statement about defense with “At least Nunez” that somebody must be REALLY fucking terrible. And Casey McGehee is.

Oh yeah… preserve, preserve, preserve. This kid doesn’t remember the days when management wanted guys playing everyday as much as those guys wanted to play everyday. It wasn’t that long ago, but being you were probably born in the 90′s, what can you expect? You young guys might rule the internet generation, but as the saying still goes: “You can’t fix stupid.”

Hundreds of millions of dollars are poured into teams– billions, if you count the 1.4 billion dollar stadium they built a few years ago… for which they need to put a great, competitive, winning team on the field every day, to keep the fans coming. And so, you put your best team on the field first. If Chavez gets hurt, then you plug in McGehee. If he gets hurt, then you call up Nunez. But the bottom line is, you put your best team on the field first.

When you were still a little boy, there was a man named George M. Steinbrenner; he was the owner of the Yankees for 37 years. Unlike his brain-dead, greedy sons, he did his damnedest to put the best team possible on the field every year– for the sake of winning, for the sake of the fans, for the sake of the great game of baseball itself.

Now, if you still want to keep your eyes closed and just listen to the media insist that “Oh no, we shouldn’t play Chavez. What if he gets hurt?!”– and live that mentality instead of watching the games, learning the game of baseball, and conducting your OWN evaluations of tactic, then go right ahead. Hopefully I helped you out, kid. You see, not everything you see and hear on TV is true. Good luck and God bless.

Eric Chavez is batting over .600 …against everyone– not just one team. Oh, and that’s coming off the bench to temporarily replace a guy named Alex Rodriguez. Fuck ESPN.

Who else has realized that the infield plays shown daily on “Web Gems” are what Jeter has done on a daily basis for 17 years? Yet, they never show him… or any Yankees really.

As a Yankees fan living in the Boston area without cable, I watch all the games on MLB.tv. But when Joe “I don’t really like baseball all that much” Buck is calling the game I can’t see it. It’s blacked out.

So Saturday I go to the local sports bar to watch the game… Except they don’t have the game on. 6 50″ TVs all showing “World’s Worst Tenants – Eviction Edition”.

I asked the bartender… You going to watch the game? She says.. “No. They suck this year. Plus it’s on Fox.”

That’s right. Sports bar in Boston watching a shitty reality show instead of the Sox/Yankees game.

It’s frustrating to lose tonight to a guy who threw nearly as many balls as strikes. I guess they call that beating yourself. I give Boston zero credit for this win, I’ll take that start by Phelps any time he goes out there.

It’s too bad Girardi doesn’t like him. He’s too busy with his huge crush on Nuney, Booney, Quallsy (he’s still crying over that loss), Rapada-ey.
