Also held the record for scoreless innings pitched in a World Series [29] until it was broken by Whitey Ford - another Yankee.
I call them refs for shorthand—I realize they are umpires.
I really feel bad for you Yankee haters. You have to resort to blaming the “refs”. Why not blame your ownership, who refuses to lay out the kind of cash required to get the top talent and compete with the Yankees?
Of course, the loser Yankee-hater will say that the Yanks can do that because they make so much money, without even realizing that when George Steinbrenner bought the team from CBS in the 70s, they were LOSING money. The Boss turned it around by putting a top flight product on the field, they started winning again, and now they are a dominant franchise.
It’s ok, go ahead and blame the “refs” again. Then pretend not to notice when your owner refuses to spend big money in the offseason while raising ticket prices for those home games when the Yankees are in town.
Boo hoo.
C’mon. Those teams are great teams with great traditions, but not comparable to the New York Yankees.
Good catches, both of you.
Lincecum is the guy we want to see get back to cruisin’ the Castro asap.
