How about putting you money where your mouth is Luke?
Have I bagged any of your teams?
I don't think so.
The Dodgers were never going to win. That's what happens when you rely on one man. If you're going to spend big bucks to have a one man team, then spend it on a pitcher.
Manny hit like a god over the NLCS, but he needed help in the lineup and he just didn't get it.
If you want to spend dollars on a central super star for your team then spend it on a pitcher.
The phillies are a great all round team, starting pitchers and the bullpen do a fantastic job but no real BIG names in the lineup.
Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley, Shane Victorino, Pat Burrell and Ron Howard.
No big dollars star there, All well rounded players who can hit the long ball and when a 40 year old bench player can come into a ties ball game to hit the game winning home run it says a lot about the mentality of this ball club and team.
It's the reason I fell in love with this club in 93, a gritty, ugly team that fights for their win.
I hate Yankee, Dodgers and now Red Sox fans. It's not about who spends the money and who has the super stars on their team, it's all about a team performing together and picking each other up.
With Tampa Bay in the world series it's going to be a fantastic series. Two big hitting teams with a pitching rotation to back themselves and not one big name super star in the lineup but a full rotation of guys who support their club, team and each other.
It's going to be fantastic.
