Much A-doings A-happening

Now that Grienke is off the market the Yankees have one less viable option for a premium starter. But those of us getting impatient need to chill out. The Yankees just signed reliever Luis Vizcaino. "Nobody beats the Viz" remember? Apparently the rest of the market forgot it, as we signed him to a minor league deal, but Cashman never forgets, and now our middle relief is set. The Yankee strategy is now confirmed. Sign as many middle relievers as possible to make up for a lack of starters. By signing Mark Prior, Pedro Feliciano and now Luis Vizcaino, among others our middle relief is now stacked. That means that our starters only need to last about 3 innings every start, and that will ensure that they can make 3 starts a week. No need for a 4th and 5th starter. The Yankees' plan is bulletproof.

Hopefully, Cashman has an ace up his sleeve....literally.

I honestly think there is a hidden conspiracy out for the Yankees! People are rejecting us to keep us from winning. The Man (The Red Sux)! always tryin to keep us Down! Seriously though.. if the sox take the A.L. east and win the crown I might cry! Or be angry and punch a sox fan!

Nice "Nobody Beats The Wiz" reference. That brings me back to my days living in NY and listening to WFAN. Seems like they played that commercial every 5 minutes.

WFAN only has two or three sponsors. The awful, repetitive ads are hands down the worst part of listening to that station.

Anonymous hold it together! Never let them see you down! Honestly though, if we sign Andy and then let some of the kids compete for the 5th starting role, we may be in decent shape. Maybe. Actually probably not. But I'm trying to put a positive spin. Here's hoping Cashman has a move in mind.

Fred! Welcome back to the board man! How's PR? Back when Vizcaino was with the Yankees a few years ago, they brought back that jingle for him, though much like the Wiz, Vizcaino didn't prove to be much of a contender.

PR would be better if I wasn't currently recovering bodies off Luquillo from that national guard helo that went down last night.

Other than that, its awesome! Charco frio and las paylas are my favorite places to go, hands down. Plus I have friends flying down Christmas eve, so once we take care of this mess, things will hopefully return to normal. Hope you guys have a great holiday!
