    Yankees At least someone has the right idea on this season

    From SJ44, a regular commenter on Peter Abraham's LoHud Yankees blog:

    For years people complained the Yankees were “too corporate”.
    For years, people complained they were “too mercenary”.
    For years, people said the Yankees “had no farm system”.
    Now? Its a fun group of guys who get along well, play very well together, have a good mix of vets and youth, and have some exciting kids in the farm.
    What happens? People STILL complain about the Yankees.
    Who cares what morons like Skip Bayless think? Who cares what whiny Red Sox or Yankee fans think?
    Are you enjoying the games and this season so far? I sure am.
    This is the most enjoyable team to watch since the Dynasty Years.
    They never quit, find ways to win games AND have fun.
    What more do some of you want?
    If you are looking for universal love for the Yankees from members of the national media, especially anybody drawing an ESPN paycheck, it ain’t happening.
    Only one team, the Boston Red Sox, gets that kind of treatment.
    Frankly, that’s a good thing. I like it better when the national media whines about the Yankees. It means they are fearful of them.
    I couldn't agree more, with every single statement in this comment. That's all I have to say.

    No matter what, every person will have something to complain about, no matter how good the team is doing. There's always going to be something.

    Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

    And that is what bothers me. Yes sports are a business, but they are in the entertainment business. And when I am being thoroughly entertained, I give credit where credit is due. Like giving a movie 5 stars (or 4 stars for those who use that scale). I am having a lot of fun watching this season unfold. Therefore, I am happy in that sense. There are small things to complain about, but it's not worth wasting the breath.
