You weren't posting a lot in the offseason (with good reason) and I didn't get a chance to ask. I will def link up to you guys.

I know they all stopped talking smack about getting the best player on the market that year. <BR/><BR/>The thing that gets me with the entitlement thing is that the World Series is ALWAYS listed as "Yankees and..." whoever is doing well in the NL (and that's just by looking at the record). I was SO happy when they were eliminated in the first round last year - I didn't have to hear my Yankee friends talking smack anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444276.post-66312145692409321892007-05-10T15:42:00.000-04:002007-05-10T15:42:00.000-04:00The fans tend to have this sense of "entitlement" ...<I>The fans tend to have this sense of "entitlement" to any player out there - realistic or not.</I><BR/><BR/>That is the exact thing that I hate most about Yankee fans, that sense of entitlement. I've seen players like Santana, Carlos Zambrano and Miguel Cabrera all referred to as "future Yankees" by Yankee fans. Drives me crazy.<BR/><BR/>I would love for October to be Yankee free for a change, but I'm not making any bets on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444276.post-2926099936391088242007-05-10T12:18:00.000-04:002007-05-10T12:18:00.000-04:00Nice to see you're not just whoring your blog on j...Nice to see you're not just whoring your blog on jere's and Allan's sites, peter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8444276.post-65636495845979078832007-05-10T11:00:00.000-04:002007-05-10T11:00:00.000-04:00First of all on this Thursday morning, that was AN...First of all on this Thursday morning, that was ANOTHER great win for us.

I remember two years ago one caller to a sports talk radio station said they should just go out and "get Ben Sheets" (this after he just signed a contract with the Brewers). The fans tend to have this sense of "entitlement" to any player out there - realistic or not. It sucks, but I can't wait for that Yankee free October!Craig Weinrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18321445875006268307noreply@blogger.com
