We’ve been neglecting our duty here at DTS. We know it. We’re sorry. We’ll do better, we promise. Won’t you please take us back? Sure ya will. We know you love us. Now go make us a sandwich. To be honest, we’ve been distracted by a different writing endeavor, and we’re disheartened by the lack of any new A-Rod Shenanigans. We’ve been forced to go old school to get our recommended daily value of purple-lipped goodness. We present: “Young and Sultry: The Alex Rodriguez Story.”
Sexy eyes
Not bad, eh?
Elsewhere, the R*d S*x have tied the Rays, the Mets are on the verge of another collapse, the Brewers finally told Ned Yost to pack his bags, and various other things happened. A word on Yost. As long time DTS readers will know, we are famed mustache aficionados/enthusiasts/boosters/trimmers. Well take a look at this face. Isn’t it just crying out to be mustached? Bold prediction: had Yostie been the proud owner of a mustache, he would have avoided the axe.
In Yankee-land, Joe Girardi has been assured of another year at the helm, Brian Cashman has been endorsed and threatened with castration (metaphorically speaking, that is. Only Old Man George would have really contemplated the actual act), and Jorge Posada told Michael Kay that Joba Chamberlain should stay in the bullpen. We fully support keeping Joe Girardi around. On the B-Cash front, we have slightly mixed feelings. On the one hand, Cash is widely respected, has shown himself to be capable of dealing with the Steinbrenners, and is a smart and likable guy. On the other hand, the Yankees have passed on Johan Santana, Dan Haren, Josh Beckett, and other prime-aged ace-quality pitchers. And the lineup, while good, is not as strong as it could be, and without an expensive off-season overhaul, will likely be worse next year than this. We’ll have much, much more to say on this subject when the season ends. We’ll discuss moves that Yankees probably should make, moves they shouldn’t, moves they may make, and moves they must make, holes to be filled, holes that will be created, and what to do with Joba Chamberlain. Speaking of Jobs, we have no problem with Jorge speaking his mind. He’s an established leader, a seasoned veteran, and he’s entitled to his opinions and should have some credence leant him. Nonetheless, considering that Joba has clearly expressed a preference for starting, it seems somewhat thoughtless and brash for Jorge to make his declaration. Can you imagine the outrage if Joba had said something like: “We gotta get Jorgie over to first base. He’s a heck of a talent, but if you ask him to catch 120 games, he’ll get hurt, his body can’t handle it.” It would not be pretty. Not too big of a deal though, and Jorge has certainly earned quite a bit of leeway.
DTS will now return to fully functional status, bringing you new posts on the regular. Well, at least until we get distracted by something shiny.
