Ok. From
time to time I've been know to rant. Well, this is one of those
times. Do you want to know what New York sports talk radio is saying
about the Yankees ?...............NOTHING !!

| Kevin Maas - NY Yankees |
We're a couple of days
away from the opening of spring training and no one is talking about
the Yankees. No matter what station I put on their talking about the
same two things. Football and basketball ! Correct me if I'm wrong,
wasn't football was over February 5th ? Do I really need to hear
about the possible off season moves by Jacksonville Jaguars ? Did you
hear what I said ? The Jacksonville Jaguars !!! WTF ? This is New
York. Come on people !!
The other story I keep hearing is. Linsanity,
Linsanity !! Ok Ok, don't get me wrong I get it. The kid is playing
well, the Knicks are playing well. It reminds me of a time in the
1980's when Kevin Maas arrived on the scene with the Yanks. He was
hitting bombs over the short porch in right field every other day. It
was "Maas Hysteria." I remember banners hanging at the
stadium that said " The M+M Boys" and I don't mean Mantle
and Maris. I mean Mattingly and Maas. Well we all know how that
turned out for Kevin.
Like I said, Jeremy Lin and the team are
playing well. It's a nice story. I hope it lasts for him because you
know how some fans can be. The minute he misses some shots, throws a
few turnovers and they lose five in a row they'll want to run him out
of town faster than their trying to run AJ Burnett out.
How's that
working out ? I've even heard a little talk about the Mets. The Mets
? Do they still have a team ? I'm not saying don't talk about other
stuff just give me some Yankee Baseball. All I'm asking for is a few
of hours a day that's all. Because in a couple of weeks all I'm going
to hear about is March Madness !!
If your
a die hard Yankee fan like me and you bleed Yankee blue, then come
back here and click on "The Big Ragu"
Lets Go
Yankees !!!
The Knicks had the game. They were up by 3 with a strong 4th quarter by Melo. Then Pierce tied it to go into OT. If your the Knicks, you have to win these games. Rondo had a deep triple double. 17 points, 20 assists and a trillion rebounds. The Knicks D was rotating too much. They weren't fighting thru screens, leaving Lin or Shumpert guarding Garnett or Pierce. The Knicks WILL fix this. They were aggressive and never gave up. They came back from a huge deficit to gain the lead with seconds remaining. This one slipped through the cracks...
