For the love of making sense!… Sit Swisher!!! I’m not saying make him the regular reserve, but Hinske deserves more game time and Swisher needs to research consistency. He (Nick Swisher) does just enough so that he can make a case against critics if they were to say that he doesn’t do anything.
I know he’s a fun guy and it’s exciting when he does well, but he usually seems to play better under pressure… so pressure him! Or maybe he’d do better if he had more rest (like Alex Rodriguez).
Anyway, he had a pretty unsatisfactory game yesterday and Tampa’s starting with a righty, so give him a day on the bench and give Eric Hinske a day on the field. Or, someone, please just explain to me why Swisher gets the regular playtime he gets. I can admit it if I’m wrong and I’m totally open to arguments!
HIPOCRITE !!!!! I just think back to when I seen him on T.V. blabbing about how Alex Rodriguez “should be banned from baseball for a year” and how “I would be ashamed, for myself and my family” blah blah blah CRAP !!!!!!!!!!! What a damn HIPOCRITE!!! What he had done in 2003 is NO different that what happened to A-Rod. He never thought his name would come out since A-Rods news was soooooo “headline news”. Well it came out HIPOCRITE, just like it did for A-Rod. I wonder…………..are we going to see David Ortiz man-up like A-Rod did and at least have a news conference, just to say it happened or is he going to be a little **tch and hide in the closet until the off-season. I expected to hear Manny’s name come out sooner or later. He is the definition of a punk-*ss overpaid THUG!!
Frauds!!!!!!!! Wait and see when Derek Jeter has to make up an excuse that he only took HGH or some type of steriod to get back from injury. Every doctor said that he would be out 8 to 10 weeks when he seperated his soulder but Jeter came back in 4 weeks stronger than every. Come on don’t come down on everyone else and not come down on Jeter. Lets wait and see.
