Virtual Yankees
The New York Post is reporting that the Yankees are close to dealing recently acquired Esteban Loaiza to Texas after only 3 starts, albeit atrocious ones. Is it just me or does the Yankees front office run their team like a franchise on "MVP Baseball 2004?" A guy doesn't perform immediately and you get rid of him, regardless of his talent and reputation for winning? This is so PS2 it's ridiculous. Albert Pujols strikes out twice in a row? "He sucks! Pull 'em in favor of Hector Luna!" Seriously, Steinbrenner is running this team like a bleacher creature who's had one too many and is just screaming about making moves for the sake of making moves. Can you imagine if Big George was managing the team? He would be subbing Alex Rodriguez with a 3-2 count simply because he had been at 3-0. He'd be about as calm and collected as Larry Bowa with indigestion. As evil as The Empire can be, you've got to appreciate their commitment to the role.
