Tim McCarver stands by pick: No playoffs for Yanks
Here's my work strategy for today: Keep the blog beast fed with occasional non-Brett posts while working on Brett stuff for the Friday newspaper. Fair?
Like this, for example:
Fox's Tim McCarver, who will work Saturday's Yankees-Angels tilt, is not backing down from his preseason prediction that the Yankees would not make the playoffs. Why should he? Here is some stuff Fox sent on that subject:
With injury setbacks to starting pitchers Chien-Ming Wang, Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy’s lackluster performance, McCarver’s preseason prediction sounds more plausible than ever. “I still believe that they won’t make the postseason. At the beginning of the year, their pitching was simply not established enough to take on a major league season,” said the analyst. McCarver believes the Yankees need to exercise some patience. “You’ve got to develop your pitchers. The key is to be patient on the day when nobody is patient.”

McCarver is alway anti-Yankees, even when he was working as a broadcaster for the Yankees.
I love how these so-called analysts regurgitate - seems apropos - their predictions when they're right, or THINK they're gonna be right. Why don't we ever re-visit their prognostictions when they're wrong, which is a helluva lot more often than not. For his most recent transgression, I hereby sentence McCarver to getting a cold bucket of ice water dumped on him (again) and to be subjected to Joe Buck's smarminess for eternity. Court adjourned!
McCarver is dead wrong, bad job outta him in that spot. Da Yankees will make the playoffs...hold on...little birdie telling me the Yankee lineup for tonight will be Damon...Jeetah....Abreau.....
Watching the Jets in Cleveland reminded me of our old friend Midge.
Being Moose's squeeze probably has its moments.
“You’ve got to develop your pitchers. The key is to be patient on the day when nobody is patient.” Huh? Whatever, he's Tim McCarver!!! He's always right!!
I believe Tim once said, "Joe, they call it fastball because it is thrown fast".
I would have loved to see the look on Buck's face when Timmy said that one ;-)
McCarverism?
2003 World Series...
"Beckett's retired 19 batters through six and a third innings"
