Sean B. Fitzgerald It doesn’t go something like this, it goes exactly like this.

Why am I watching…

Why I am watching Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed on FOX instead of the Yankees on YES. I will tell you why:

• Because Chien-Ming Wang is an utterly useless pitcher if he "gets his pitches up". This is why he was never considered an ace for the Yankees. An ace has the ability to adapt on the mound when their best pitches are not working. Wang, on the other hand, is rendered ineffective if his arm slot is too high or release point is too early. If his hard sinker is not down, might as well call it a night.
• Because Mark Teixeira is eight minutes into his 8-year, $180 million contract and has been sidelined with a "sore left wrist". For 6 years, he has been a rock at first base for the Rangers, Braves, and Angels. But once he joins the Yankees, his limp wrist starts to act up. Look, I am all for protecting your assets, but a sore wrist is something a little leaguer could play through. Isn't Teixeira's idol Don Mattingly? This may be news to Mark, but Donnie Baseball played 90% of his career with a bad back. And lets not forget the man who invented the term "Suck it up" manned the same position as Teixeira. Lou Gehrig played in 2,130 consecutive games with broken fingers, broken hands, strained backs, and yes, even sore wrists.
• Because regardless of the atrocious pitching displayed by CC Sabathia in the first game and Wang in his first two starts, this offense is just not going to cut it until Rodriguez comes back from injury. I have already stated that Swisher should start over Matsui. Okay, so Swisher is basically an everyday player now. Good. You're half way there Yankees. Now it's time to sit Matsui. Forever. Or at least until you need a left-handed hitter off the bench in the late innings of a blowout. If you haven't noticed Mr. Hideki has 3 hits on the year. 3. That's only 3 more hits than I have. Granted, that's 1 more hit than Cody Ransom has. Which brings me to my next point. Alex Rodriguez is scheduled to come back on May 15th. That's over a month from now. That is too long to continue this "Cody Ransom Experiment". He may have a 60 inch vertical leap, but God forbid he hit a single off a breaking ball. I swear he's like Pedro Cerrano out there. I know we're only 7 games into the season, but it's time for a change. It's time for Ramiro Pena to take over at third until Arod returns. He is equally, if not more talented than Ransom defensively. Not to mention the fact than he is ten years younger than Ransom. I'd rather struggle with growing pains than legitimately bad baseball.
