Elusive World Series title calls Moose
"Because of what this team did in the late-90s, everybody made the assumption that it would never go two or three years without winning a championship. It's not that simple," Mussina said. "I've been playing for a long time, and I know it's not easy to get to the postseason or to get to the World Series and win the World Series. To have a chance to go to the postseason five times in a row, that's all you can ask for."
Oh, Michael Cole. You're so fucking zen about it. You can admit it hurts, baby. I love how he's like "hey, EVERYBODY figured I'd have a ring by now. FUNNY THAT." Heh.
Second half of the article is all about how this is the last year of his contract with the Yankees and who knows if he'll still be pitching next year? Alternately: YAY! and lalalaallalalaICAN'THEARYOU.
I see the Yanks have signed ex-Oriole Scott Erickson to a minor league deal. Weirdness!
Also, it seems like the media swing is on to convince us the American players also care about the World Baseball Classic. Timmy K was on Mike & Mike the other day talking about how jazzed A-Rod, Chipper Jones, and Johnny Damon are. "The guys who haven't dropped out of this thing are really looking forward to it" and all that jazz. Derek Jeter would also like you to know that he's 'really excited' to represent the US. I love how an article on how excited an American player is manages to be half about one of the Latino teams.
If anyone sees Freedomland this weekend, I would be very interested to read your thoughts.
Alright, I'm off to the undergrad library to pull some numbers on conflict resolution in the workplace. Whoo. Happy Friday, everyone.
