Announcer Dumbness IV

This isn't a specific quote, but during the Yankees - White Sox game the Yankees announcers have been going on and on (and on) about starter Javier Vazquez and the fact that he "didn't make it in New York," like "so many other players" who just "couldn't cut it" there because of all the pressure bla bla. This relates nicely to Joist's most recent post about Gammons' latest claptrap. But even if you buy this "if you can make it here you can make it anywhere" stuff in general, it makes zero sense as applied to Vazquez. It's amazing how many people forget this (including Yankees fans, who tend to have severely selective memories), but Vazquez was actually excellent in the FIRST half of his one season on the Yankees, to the tune of a 3.56 ERA at the All-Star Break. Of course, he mysteriously took a tumble in the second half. Did he suddenly realize after the All Star Game, "Holy crap! This city is friggin' 'uge!" (to borrow Michael Kay's pronunciation)? No. Fact is we don't know what happened to him, but can we stop saying it was the "New York pressure"? Thank you.
