SWISHER BEING SWISHER IS JUST FINE BY ME

Once again the Yankees are wrong in the eyes of the talking heads. Specifically former MLB player and ESPN analyst, John Kruck. Who on this past Sunday Night Baseball called out Nick Swisher for what Kruck called excessive celebrating during the come from behind win against the Boston Red Sox the day before. So instead of just giving credit to an incredible win by the Yankees, Kruck and Terry Francona took umbridge with Nick pounding on his chest after hitting a 2 run double. Hypocrite is the first word that came to my mind when I saw this on ESPN.

Let us start with the fact Swisher was NOT showing up the Red Sox pitcher. He was elated that he had contributed more runs to get his team what turned out to be a win. The previous inning, Swish hit a grand slam. When you watch the replay of the home run, you notice Nick didn't do anything but run the bases after the ball went out. He didn't stand there and watch it - like say David Ortiz (right TERRY?).

It really irked me (to say the least) that Nick is getting criticized for being excited. Don't forget this time last year Nick got off to a slow start and those same talking bobble head dolls at ESPN and the like were saying the Yankees should trade Swisher.

Nick Swisher brings fun and energy to the Yankees and the game in general. His smile could light up Yankee Stadium and his kindness and generosity warms your heart.

So if Saturday night in Boston was Swisher being Swisher - that is not only perfectly fine with me - I'll sign up for more. After all, this is a boys game played by men. Let's try not to forget that.

Because Nick is simply Swish-a-lishous
