here. Well not this exactly, but the general sentiment.
I want Joba in the rotation too. I think it's silly not to put him there and points to the organization not really knowing what to do with these kids if they do put him there for 2010. But honestly, get over it, sweetie. It's this kind of shit that was making me outright depressed thinking of the idea of Hughes in the rotation for 2010. Thanks, places like this (as well as River Ave Blues, a generally terrific site that basically posted a "woe is us, we are doomed if Joba doesn't get the fifth spot" article today).
"Dark age," "dystopia"?!?! You sound like one of those Yankee fans who complain about how 2001-2008 (sometimes 2002-2008) were total failures and this person, as far as I can tell from her tumblr, would be embarrassed to be counted among that group. They averaged like 97 wins a year in that period. There were issues, but seriously, a fucking dark age? "Deep spiritual journey"? Get over your goddamn self.
Also? Sometimes pitching prospects, yes really hyped pitching prospects, just don't work out. I do think Joba and Hughes should be given every opportunity to succeed and bouncing Joba and Hughes around in the bullpen and rotation isn't going to do that, but believe it or not, our prospects aren't necessarily going to turn out better and/or dominate just because they're magical Yankee prospects and we really really really really want them to. Oh, and neither are the Rays' prospects.
Cry fuckin' more. I shouldn't read this before going to bed because it'll just piss me off and make me think that Hughes in the rotation is the end of the woooooorld ohhh nooooo
