I must be crazy. I enjoy following baseball.

"Suzyn (Ma Pinstripe) Waldman waited until the seventh inning Saturday, as the Yankees were going down to Boston, to inquire.

'Wonder how many questions will go by before someone asks Joe Girardi if it’s time to sell?' She asked her radio partner John (Pa Pinstripe) Sterling.

'Suzyn, you’ve got to admit if it keeps going like this (for the Yankees), it’s going to be time to sell,' Pa said.

Say what?

 It’s telling these two voices, known for their optimism and sunnyside stylings, appear to be resigned to Yankees brass ultimately pulling the plug on the season. The ramifications of the Yankees becoming sellers have been over-dissected and re-regurgitated."

So Al Yanzeera agents Ma and Pa Pinstripe might not be as unbiased as you think.


"Will newspapers and websites still invest what it takes to cover every alleged game? Outside of providing scores, do Valley of the Stupid Gasbags bother talking Yankees? Face it, those Bombers ticket giveaways on FAN will take on new meaning. How many 'loyalists' will actually want free tickets to exhibition tilts disguised as real games?"

 Does the New York Daily News current invest resources to cover the Mets and the Yankees? That's news to me. I'm on your website right now and I don't see it.


"If Hal Steinbrenner throws in the towel, the Mets voices won’t be the only ones enjoying the Bombers’ irrelevance. Much harder to predict is how Ma and Pa will handle it. Accustomed to — at least — contending from wire to wire, this will be uncharted territory for them. And while they may have visions of white flags on the horizon, their retreat has not started."

The Yankees are not that bad. Sorry, but it's true. The reason people will still pay attention is because they are baseball fans. The media who can't do their jobs should find another job. The animus predicted by Raissman is standard for the Daily News and Raissman.
