Randy Johnson To The Yankees?

[NYH]

I thought this deal was dead last week but King George always seems to find a way. I don't care. In fact I look forward to kicking his ass and his 200+ million dollar payroll again :harhar:

Wow. AZ is trying to rape the Yanks... hehe.

 

They'll trade the 41 year old Johnson for:

 

Javier Vazquez

Dioneer Navarro

Brad Halsey

Eric Duncan

$8 million

 

This is a great deal for Arizona. Plus, after this deal, the Yanks will have absolutely nothing in the farm system - something that could come into play at the trade deadline next year.

[Soxfan1]

They always say the deal is really close, but theres always a flaw.

[elsrbueno]

This could get interesting. The article lists a few teams who'd be interested in Vazquez, and we all know LA is high on Navarro.

 

The Diamondbacks COULD still get Shawn Green out of this deal, and Vazquez could come back to the AL (Baltimore, Texas, Detroit), and is a much more attractive option than the current free agents...

Duncan isn't going anywhere.

[Soxfan1]

Let's analyze this deal.

 

Vazquez WILL turn around next year. He is a good pitcher.

 

Halsey had a pretty good year in AAA Columbus, going 11-4 with a 2.63 ERA. He also had a 3:1 K:BB ratio, and batters hit .239 against him. He's not a strikeout pitcher (109 in 144 innings), but he did put up solid numbers last year in the minors.

 

I don't understand what everyone likes in Navarro. He doesn't hit for average, he doesn't hit for power, he's got decent K:BB ratios, but he doesn't get on base enough to factor in the walks as an advantage. Someone help me here....

 

Eric Duncan-- Same question. He's got more power than Navarro, but he doesn't look like anything special. Baseball America said he was the Yankees top prospect... but what does that say-- Exactly. (for the record, Navarro's #5)

[Yankeesin05]

What, Now you think that RJ sucks?

 

You are the most stupid person to think that. Some Red Sox fans have dignity, And respect Randy Johnson, Wait, would he be a bum w/ a bad knee if his socks were colered red? I dont think so.

 

bias bias bias.

[Yankeesin05]

Duncan isnt even included in the trade

 

Vazquez

Navarro

Halsey

$8m

[Yankeesin05]

Vazquez WILL turn around next year. He is a good pitcher.

 

 

OMG!!!!

 

That is so clishe

 

3 months ago you guys thought he was soooo horrible, now hes going to be great?

[Yanks in 05]

Its Javier, Navaro, Halsey and 8 mil cash. Then rumor is Navaro is going to be traded for Shawn Green. Then also speculation says they MAY trade Vazquez to Phil or Bal for SPects

[Yankeesin05]

AZ will ship off Javy to HR heaven in Baltimore in exchange for Gibbons+Prospects

Ahhh. You've been quoted!

It looks like they can't read what you wrote. All those names, all those numbers... I guess they just can't read very well.

[2090]

:thumbsup: My statement could very well hold water after all

[RedSoxRooter]

Exactly what statement would that be?

 

All you ever type is:

 

"Um, no"

"Yankees in 2005"

"I'm gay"

 

 

If you're talking about that last statement, you may be right.

[2090]

My statement could very well hold water after all

 

 

When I said the Yankees would win the WS in 2005. Calm down people, it's just a message board and you can't be serious all the time.

according to the new york post:

 

December 30, 2004 -- The Yankees and Diamondbacks last night inched to the doorstep of a deal that will finally put Randy Johnson in pinstripes - with Arizona most likely getting Javier Vazquez, about $8.5 million, Brad Halsey and Dioner Navarro.

 

I like els's theory..

 

Plus, the yankees are and always will be a bunch of heartless whining *******s, and that grumpy dick randy johnson will fit in wonderfully. He aint no spring chicken and I guarantee you when the press starts in he'll crumple.

 

They can have him-we'll still kick their ass....again...(God that feels good)..

 

After reading the posts on here I am always reminded of how ridiculous, pompous and repulsive their fans are...we are blessed with a championship team, and the best fans in the world. And the yankees--the worst fans and a team coming off the biggest choke in the history of sports-it's going to take more than randy johnson to turn that mess around, maybe some heart might help.

 

Happy New Year red sox fans and screw you yankee fans.

 

and put me down as in favor of the ignore feature!

best fans in the world? Best DRUNK fans you mean

[sarasoxfan]

speaking of sox fans, we are indeed the greatest...

In the spirit of this thread talking about grumpy I thought you guys might like this article from the New York Daily News...While it doesnt have anything to do the Unit-less one...It does show the pride.

 

 

Curses! Red Sox fans in NY are taking license with plates

SCHENECTADY — After 86YRS, the 04BOSOX finally won the World Series, meaning the dreaded Curse of the Bambino has, at long last, been REVRSD.

If it still hasn’t sunk in for Yankees fans, just take a closer look at the New York state license plate on the car that might have passed you on the road today.

 

As they would say in Boston, ITZOVA.

 

Boston Red Sox fans across the Empire State have let their true colors show since their team swept the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 in late October. The Sox clinched their first World Series crown since 1918.

 

In the first month after the team’s historic Oct. 27 victory, 99 vehicle owners in New York registered new vanity plates bearing a message about their beloved Sox, according to a list compiled by the state Department of Motor Vehicles. Nine others got a standard plate with the Red Sox team logo.

 

There’s a FENWAY (a tribute to the team’s ancient ball park in Boston), a BYENYY (rubbing it in the faces of Yankees fans, no doubt) and CHMP04 (isn’t that one obvious?) There’s also kudos to individual players: MANEE (slugger Manny Ramirez), JASVK (catcher and team leader Jason Varitek) and PAPI34 (clutch home run hitter David Ortiz).

 

Don’t be fooled into thinking the state is awash in Red Sox red.

 

At last count, there were slightly more than 10,000 license plates devoted to the clean-cut Yankees, compared with just 356 for that scrappy, long-haired team from New England.

 

Schenectady County Public Defender Mark Caruso, a native of Waltham, Mass., and lifelong Sox fan, saw a vanity plate a couple years ago at the mall honoring pitching ace Pedro Martinez.

 

“I saw that and said if they ever win, I’ll get one,” Caruso, 37, said.

 

Sure enough, after the Sox won the Series — Game 4 happened to fall on Caruso’s birthday — he paid $68 for a plate with a Red Sox logo that reads REVRSD.

 

In Red Sox lore, the team had been cursed ever since it traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees after winning its last World Series in 1918. Reversing the Curse became the dream of legions of fans.

 

Friday is the last day drivers in New York can get new “picture plates” with an out-of-state baseball team’s logo because the licensing agreement with Major League Baseball is expiring, according to DMV spokesman Joe Picchi. (To order, go to this website, visit a local DMV office or call 518-402-4838). Personalized New York state license plates will continue to be available at a cost of $50, plus registration fees.

 

Denise Baker of Schenectady got BYBABE on her 1995 Jeep Wrangler. It’s the latest salvo in her intense but friendly rivalry with her neighbor, Charlie Hebert, who loves the Yankees.

 

“I just wanted to get ’em so I could get him good,” the 50-year-old Baker said.

 

Randy Tyx, a metal industry sales representative who lives in a suburb of Buffalo, suffered for years as a fan of the Red Sox, football’s Buffalo Bills and hockey’s Buffalo Sabres — teams that have crushed their fans’ hearts year after year.

 

“I was oh-for-my-life until this,” said Tyx, 48. “I have three boys who are Red Sox fans, too. Every year I would apologize to them.” His oldest, 22-year-old Jason, is a weather forecaster for the Marine Corps stationed at Camp Fallujah in Iraq. During the World Series, Jason woke up at 3 a.m. to watch the games on TV and would e-mail his father every night to chat about what happened.

 

Tyx drives a company car, so the vanity license plate he chose ended up on his wife’s 2003 Chevy Cavalier, which just happens to be painted in “Red Sox red.” After toying with a few names on the DMV Web site they came up with ITZOVA, a play on a true Bostonian’s pronunciation of “It’s over.”

 

“We get a lot of compliments on it,” said Tyx, who is thinking about making his first-ever drive to Boston in the car to see his team play at Fenway Park.

 

That is, if he can score tickets for next season.

a drunk redsox fan is still smarter than any yankee fan in the world..The sox fan has more teeth and more brains even out cold.
