And if you even bothered to do &quot;any&quot; research at all  you would have noticed that Tampa has great numbers against Mark and so does The O&#039;s. But let me guess all their players are &quot;over the hill&quot; also? You are a total joke, i proven you to be exactly that, move along troll.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. im not even from toronto nor a Blue jays fan

2. has ortiz been the same as he was? Jeter has been on the decline, Ortiz is on the decline, Boston doesnt even have a SS yet, LONEY at 1st? Sweeney and Nava in the corner OF spots? Ichiro and gardner arent gonna do horrible damage, A-Rod is over with (theyre looking at jeff Keppinger to replace him), so if Cano (and even if Jeter and Ortiz) kept up the pace against Burhrle, thats 3 players in a whole division. 3 total players off the 2 &quot;juggernauts&quot; in the division. I myself like the yankees as my 2nd favorite team behind the White Sox, but even i realize theres decline and change. So even if Cano and jeter homer.

Bo Sox roster:
 60 Ryan Lavarnway
 -- David Ross
 39 Jarrod Saltalamacchia
 77 Pedro Ciriaco
 50 Mauro Gómez
 58 José Iglesias
 64 Will Middlebrooks
 15 Dustin Pedroia
  2 Jacoby Ellsbury
 -- Jonny Gomes
 55 Ryan Kalish
 66 Daniel Nava
 -- Jerry Sands
 12 Ryan Sweeney
 34 David Ortiz

Yankees Roster:
40 Francisco Cervelli
 72 Austin Romine
 19 Chris Stewart
 -- Eli Whiteside
Infielders
 24 Robinson Canó
  2 Derek Jeter
 17 Jayson Nix
 26 Eduardo Núñez
 13 Alex Rodriguez
 25 Mark Teixeira
Outfielders
 60 Chris Dickerson
 11 Brett Gardner
 14 Curtis Granderson
 67 Melky Mesa

Not really so scary looking are they?

3. His perfect game? AGAINST TAMPA BAY. so by your own logic, he owns tampa bay. His No-No? a lineup featuring Tex, kinsler, Michael young, and nelson cruz. 

Gold glove Winner. So please, stop trying to make a pointless case that Buehrle isnt a good pitcher.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[But teams and rosters change over time. these are not the Yankees of the Early 2000s. Not the 2 time champ red sox. not the rays that went to the playoffs. Also not the orioles that were being beat down for years and years. So &quot;stats vs certain teams&quot; are some of the most useless stats ever. Does the UNIFORM beat him? he cant pitch against guys in pinstripes or wearing orange? 

Lets say theres a team that loses 8 straight to another team (it happens)...is that to say despite roster turnover, theyll NEVER beat them again? The Red Sox and Rays were horrible against the Yankees for the 1st part of the decade and the 90s...does that mean theyll always suck against the yankees? recent history has disproved that theory.]]></description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are not the same teams anymore. They are nearly all worse and now he has some very good hitting backing him up. Why don&#8217;t you go comment on a Yankee thread since you love them so much and you &#8220;know&#8221; so much about baseball? Oh. That&#8217;s right. You don&#8217;t know anything about baseball and you merely come here to embarrass yourself.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[1. he tried to stay in the AL..signed there..but was TRADED to the AL against his will. so &quot;he should have stayed in the NL&quot;...he didnt have a choice.

2. The AL east is like any division now. Baltimore is decent, but could fall back anytime. Tampa Bay has an anemic offense (the only thing Buehrle is gonna face). Boston is in a state of flux and has been terrible. hes ON the Jays. That leaves just the Yankees to be a legit threat. Sounds like any division to me.

3. He came up through the AL central when the indians were still a juggernaut, faced good Twins teams, the Tigers run to the top..so its not like he&#039;s coasted to his career stats]]></description>
