They've had that since Pedro took some time off before the All-Star break last week. I like it; it shows some sense of team unity, IMO.
Exactly, redpickle you are just another ignorant yankees fan...
Ignorant? Since when did a team ever put a huge bobble head doll in their own dugout? And please explain how there is team unity in having this. The team can barely keep their own players from hating each other. Please, your just another ignorant yankee hater.
You and your fans are ignorant because everytime the red sox do something that no one else does you just automatically think it's "stupid @ss". Might I remind you of Cowboy Up? The Hair styles? Even when their player isn't around because he is in the Dominican Republic, they get a life sized bobble head, and they ended up winning that game. Thus the bobble head became a good luck charm, not some stupid @ss arrogant display. I never saw the yankees do anything for Kevin Brown or Giambi while they were sick with parasites. Or anything for their players to show they care about one another.
Which leads me to my second point, do you really think any of the players on your yankees team have good relationships, such as Ortiz and Manny? I don't think so (face it, your players are there for the money), and don't even try to say arod and jeter because we all know arod wants to play SS. The only thing you might be able to say is Gordon and Sheffield's mustaches. The only reason your players play so well is because they've already established themselves before they went to the yankees. Let's take a look at the players (excluding the already mentioned rotation). We'll put them under 3 categories, made (as in they established themselves in NY) or paid or N/A.
OF
Matsui-Definate PAID
Lofton-PAID
Sheffield-PAID
Bernie Williams-MADE
Bubba Crosby-N/A
IF
Posada-MADE
Flaherty-N/A
Cairo-PAID
Clark-PAID (he's starting to look a lot more like when he was the tiger's allstar)
Giambi-Definate PAID
Jeter-Made
Arod-definate PAID
Enrique Wilson-N/A
DH
Ruben Sierra-PAID
Now lets look at the sox
OF
Manny-PAID
Nixon-MADE
Damon-PAID (although one could argue he has brought a lot to the sox and could be made)
Kapler-MADE
McCarty-N/A
IF
Belhorn-PAID
Garciaparra-MADE
Millar-MADE
Mueller-MADE
Youkillis-N/A
Varitek-MADE
Mirabelli-MADE (look at his offense for a backup catcher)
DH
Ortiz-DEfinate MADE
It's the fact that we are able to get such better players without having to wait until they MAKE themselves somewhere else. Thats what makes the red sox the more favorable team...
