Unseemly... But hey, it's the Yankees.
Feb. 16th, 2004 11:45 amFrom an article in the New York Times:
"In the end, the Yankees' trade for Alex Rodriguez is just another instance in which the Yankees beat the Red Sox. They beat them by finishing first in their division last season; they beat them in the postseason and went to the World Series; and now, in the game of winter hardball, it's Yankees 1, Red Sox 0."
Wellllll... as long as you leave out that Curt Schilling guy, in which case it's a 1-1 tie. And if you ignore the Yankees choking in said World Series, the same way they have in every single post-season of this century.
Looked at that way, the trade for A-Rod is a desperate attempt to forestall becoming irrelevant.
It'll be fun to see how the Yankees fuck it up this year, all the while proclaiming the inevitability of their victory.
No wonder Dubya used to own a ball club.
