Or Francisco Rodriguez. Compared to them, even A.J. Burnett still comes out smelling like a rose. Well, maybe not like Pete Rose, but you get the idea.Uncle Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11618876073064128027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-44567214440359115652010-10-23T15:15:30.604-04:002010-10-23T15:15:30.604-04:00Really?

Unless he's a womanizer, addict, in-the-clost-homosexual, serial rapist or murderer and the media would find it out because they're, you know, the media, I can't see how coming to NY would ruin him. Someone should've mentioned that to Sabathia, too. 40 wins, an ALCS MVP and a World Series ring in 2 seasons really threw his career down the toilet.JAKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01119245357854540284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-87452501433112134172010-10-20T09:39:09.023-04:002010-10-20T09:39:09.023-04:00Michael, I agree with you completely.

Going to NY only ruins a player's career and reputation (think Randy Johnson and the cameraman incident). In fact, more players should stay out of NY, and not be labeled mercenaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-16629161061794634692010-10-20T02:56:12.929-04:002010-10-20T02:56:12.929-04:00Hopefully Cliff Lee decides to do the League a fav...Hopefully Cliff Lee decides to do the League a favor and stick with Texas.

But if the Yanks had held onto the 2-0 score, Lee would have come out to finish the game (I read today that Washington said that he would do so), putting his pitch totals at his highest all year. Would the heart of the Yankees lineup have been able to do something against him? I think it's possible.Lisa Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04909220094978054349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-56456254579382208462010-10-19T13:16:16.164-04:002010-10-19T13:16:16.164-04:00Here's an interesting point from Inside The Bo...Here's an interesting point from Inside The Book discussing why bring in Mo would be in the incorrect move.

Lee was definitely tiring and there is at least a chance they could have gotten to him and basically won the series right there. So I think that was a mistake, but, of course Girardi's thinking he wants Mo ready for 2 tonight when everything is going to be on the line rather than pursue the knockout against Lee in the bottom of the 9th. So not an obvious decision. Definitely should have pulled DR though.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789016478756887730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624254435992330014.post-63271218405539877252010-10-19T08:26:29.983-04:002010-10-19T08:26:29.983-04:00Actually, just a couple of hard hit balls off D-Ro...Actually, just a couple of hard hit balls off D-Rob, the rest were dropped in or ground ball hits.<br /><br />But, an absolutely YES, why use Kerry Wood and not Mo?
