Basura – this one is for you. From today’s Newsday:

“Alex Rodriguez to the rescue!

That is what Yankees fans hope happens once A-Rod is activated from the disabled list today after missing three weeks with a strained right quadriceps. Rodriguez will bring his three-time American League Most Valuable Player resume with him and all will be right with the Yankees’ offense. He’ll put up numbers (at least on a per-game basis) similar to 2007, and the rest of the team suddenly will fall into line.”

Funny, I feel the same way, sometimes, about replying to your comments.

Good to know. TaTa.

Try reading the papers instead of trying to meet people Basura – and you’ll see what I suggested.

wtf? Great comeback Steve though like many of your replies when you’re challenged you don’t address the challenge and bring things from “out of left field.”

I realize I’m wasting my time trying to have a discussion with you.

Give it up. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t think things will most likely be better when A-Rod is back.

The trouble is that’s not you wrote. You wrote of the many people you claim who think ALL of the problem(s) will be solved with his return.

~~~You know what happens when one ASSumes, don’t you?~~~

Hey, in the Times the other day, did not Cashman said the Yankees’ slow start has been more the result of a lack of offense than poor pitching?

Is he assuming that things will be better when A-Rod is back?

I was never an actual Reds fan, I just joined my Mother in rooting for them in ‘76 (at that point I figured the Red Sox were sure to win a WS soon so I felt no need to be vindictive to the Big Red Machine). We were Cub fans when I was a child, when we moved to Long Island when I was five, we’d go to Shea regularly to see them. Given a choice between the Cubs and any other team in the WS, we would all choose the Cubbies.

I will however cop to a certain fan promiscuity when I was a child – my “second” National League team was the Dodgers. That interest faded with the demise of the Garvey-Lopes-Russell-Cey-Yeager infield.

But trust me, I’ve been die hard with the Sox since ‘78. Jim Rice was THE man for me, I’m still pissed off that he isn’t going into the HoF with Goose, which would have been a very nice combo, the ultra-intimidating slugger being enshrined with the ultra-intimidating closer.

That’s five different teams
=================================
Sorry, “just” four.

OnceIWasAYankeeFan, you grew up in New York as a Yankee fan but were the child of Cubs/Reds fans and turned your coat red to antagonize your brothers. Did I get that right?!

Holy moly that’s nuts. That’s five different teams. Did you do the same with your NFL/NBA/NHL/NCAA affiliations too?!
