Curt Schilling Is Right About Me

Schilling has a point

I was browsing the NY Daily News this morning and I see an article of Curt Schilling criticizing Yankee fans. I read it and realized everything he said was right about this Yankee fan. He said that Yankee fans are bitter and miserable. He’s right, I am bitter and miserable. I’m used to the Yankees winning every year and I don’t like the way it feels when they don’t make the playoffs. I agree with Schilling when he says that the Yankees are just another team lately because the Yankees are. They are what their record says they are. They are no better or no worse. Injuries are not an excuse for the Yankees and they didn’t play up to Yankee standards. Yankee standards are playoffs every year with a chance to win the world series.

In the playoffs, all the Red Sox have on their pitching staff that puts a scare in teams is Josh Becket. Dice K won’t do anything and neither will Paul Byrd and Jon Lester. Papelbon is beatable in big games and the Rays proved that last night. When the Red Sox do make the playoffs, they wont’ beat the Angels because the Angels just have too much team speed for the Red Sox. The Angels will run silly on them and take advantage of Varitek. The Angels also have big game experience because they have a world series title in recent years. Just remember, the playoffs mean nothing if you don’t win the world series and when the Red Sox lose in the playoffs, their year won’t be any better than the Yankees’ year.

Schilling says that New York is excited that Tom Brady went down and he’s right, I am excited that Tom Brady went down. I don’t like the fact that the Patriots are good every year and I don’t like the fact that they were accused of cheating in the Super Bowl against the Rams which raises questions about their credibility. The Patriots lost the super bowl and Tom Brady got hurt all within 9 minutes so there’s really nothing to be bitter about but I am over joyed that Brady won’t be playing the rest of the year.

Schilling has every right to open his big mouth because he was “front row and center” when the Yankee dynasty ended. He’s the only person besides David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez that I would allow to open his mouth and say dumb things. He’s earned that right. Only one thing would strip away that right and that would be him being found guilty of taking PED’s because taking PED’s is not cool with me.

I’m sick and tired of all things Boston. I don’t like hearing about the Red Sox, the Patriots and the Celtics. I don’t think the Red Sox are winning the world series this year, I know the Patriots aren’t winning the Super Bowl and the Celtics will get old in a hurry. I will enjoy watching Boston’s demise so Schilling is right, I am bitter and miserable.
