However, if you go off of EQA and EqBA, the the Sox were closer to a 90 win team.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12354204014326211323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778433057761571364.post-14423257380902242982010-02-04T00:12:19.511-05:002010-02-04T00:12:19.511-05:00It could be argued the Yankees have misallocated f...It could be argued the Yankees have misallocated funds by spending money on Nick Johnson, who likely won't stay healthy all season, and Randy Winn, who is likely to mediocre at best and terrible at worst. Lupica doesn't make that argument, of course, instead arguing that the Yankees should blow all kinds of money to resign Damon because they're the Yankees, they must not have any budget at all. I loved his paragraph about all the money the Yankees threw at Teixeira, Sabathia, and Burnett saying it clearly shows the Yankees don't have a budget. Burnett excluded, if you're going to blow a lot of money on a player it ought to be an elite player like Teix or CC. Lupica somehow fails to realize that 1 year of Damon isn't going to make or break the franchise. Five years of Burnett on the other hand will only do marvelous things, at least from my perspective. <br /><br />If I had to guess, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5K1g4SDO2k" rel="nofollow">this</a> is how you turn over a defense.

R...(one more attempt at embedding and HTML link..)<br /><br />Rob Borges is an idiot. Take the first sentence he wrote about the patriots' playoff loss:<br /><br /><b>The offense couldn’t do anything but turn the ball over and the defense couldn’t do anything but get turned over.</b><br /><br />Like, what? How does a defense "get turned over" exactly?<br /><br />Borges' main talent is in making other sportswriters look better, even Mike Lupica, who wrote this <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2010/01/29/2010-01-29_new_york_yankees_gm_brian_cashman_conjures_up_budget_woes_to_demonize_johnny_dam.html" rel="nofollow">dandy</a> a few weeks ago about the Yankees not signing Johnny Damon.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833146469552845543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7778433057761571364.post-35924997654731464742010-02-01T13:04:37.527-05:002010-02-01T13:04:37.527-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833146469552845543noreply@blogger.com
