Also, Dan's cocky writing rubs me the wrong way sometimes so I feel the need to rip him.

It's rare to see Kurt deliver anything constructive, just more picking on someone else's comment (Kurt, if you're reading this, take this as an invitation to comment more with ideas of your own, rather than just criticizing someone else's). <BR/><BR/>I think all Yankee fans right now get a pass on talking about their team right now.

By the time may was over you could definitely see that he was not going to have a great year. So far he has looked great and deserves CY young consideration like you are giving him.<BR/>You do have to admit that many Yankee fans are just as obsessed with hating the Red Sox as Sox fans are about hating the Yankees.
