Dear Yankees fans:

[Sizzlin22]

I love how all these Yankee fans jsut sit back and say don't worry about it George will trade for someone. Let me ask the question, who the hell do they have that anyone would want and is tradeable? Giambi? No one wants that contract, Brown? a 15 mill contract for pure suckiness, who do the Yankees have to trade that is of any value.

[yankees228]

Tust me, all Yankee fans are worried but real Yankee fans are not just gonna drop the team because we are not bandwagon fans. Also I don't know if we are gonna be able to make a trade but the teams not as bad as your saying. ARod, Jeter, Sheffield, and Matsui are still very effective while Womack's starting to hit. (Sheff just homered). RJ's last 2 starts were very good against 2 good hitting teams, Texas and Toronto. Mussina last start was good. Pavano was not very good in the last start but he has been pretty good lately. Mariano is still very effective and what most Red Sox fans forget about lasts years ALCS was that Mo saved game 1 and 2, blew game 4, but game 5 was Gordon's fault. I wouldn't be shocked if this team was right back in it in July but if they comeback from this it will take some time.

[Sox fan in Tex]

I agree with about half of that, yankees228, but what sticks out is this:

 

RJ's last 2 starts were very good against 2 good hitting teams, Texas and Toronto.

 

Texas and Toronto are good hitting teams, but they aren't any better than just 'good'. There are prob. 5-7 better hitting teams in the American League than Toronto and Texas. Johnson's going to have to pitch A LOT better than he has to beat teams like Boston, Baltimore, Minnesota, Chicago (White Sox), Anaheim or Oakland. And those are just a few.

[YANKEESRULE]

The yankees are not out of it. They will turn it around. Randy will get in stride and so will Mussina and Pavano. brown well (snicker...hahaha) he needs to be shot like a lame horse. Giambi i agree is not the player he was, but he still has that advantage that he makes pitchers think when they pitch to him, even if he isn't hitting and that is effective. hey there down and tha fans are tired of this, but I know they will turn it around. Hey the Devil Rays were due to win a series against us. Know the Yankees are due I would not count us out yet. The Yankees will have there Revenge.

[Sox fan in Tex]

You make so many grammatical mistakes, YANKEESRULE, that I know you were not born in 1977. Also, the Devil Rays aren't 'due' to beat anyone unless you LET them beat you. Next up is the Athletics...you'll need all the luck you can find.

[SuperManny]

the yankees are on pace to be the WORST defensive team in the history of baseball. lets just think about that for a minute. nothing they do in the short term is going to change that. the owner of the astros has already said hes not trading Clemens this year so maybe next year.

 

overpaid overrated geriatrics is team yankee

[Sox fan in Tex]

Poooooooooooor $205M last-place pussies!

Yankees ruel don't even try. That guy is from texas. They know a lot of words.

wait? did you just say that chicago, minnesota and oakland are better hitting teams than texas?

[Sox fan in Tex]

wait? did you just say that chicago, minnesota and oakland are better hitting teams than texas?

 

I guess I admit to exaggerating, but Texas seems to be inconsistent when it comes to hitting at times. Well....Oakland shouldn't be on there, but Minnesota and Chicago can hit well. I think the Rangers offense is a little overhyped, though. With a good pitcher, you can shut them down.

 

Yankees ruel don't even try. That guy is from texas. They know a lot of words.

 

We know baseball, too. Like we are smart enough not to make bets with other people that the Mariners will finish better than the Twins, just because we have "a good feeling". I guess that good feeling you have was once again slapped around tonight, sarasoxfan.

[Sox fan in Tex]

P.S. YANKEESRULE, I was thinking about it and it's probably right that Steinbrenner throws away more money on s***** players than Bush has used on the war.

[CrespoBlows]

YankeesRule,

 

Please shut up, your ignorance of baseball trading has no limit. The Yankees have 2 prospects in their farm system that people would show any interest in. But that interest would be remote at best. Eric Duncan is overrated, he's a 20 HR guy who can't field at ALL.

 

And even if you did have the prospects, who would you trade for? Brian Anderson? Good luck with that.

 

As for your the Sox pitching sucks, our best three starters right now are way better then your starters (statsically) and except for Randy Johnson, our pitchers are better overall.

 

Clement

Arroyo > Mussina

Wakefield > Pavano

Miller > Wang

Halama > Brown (that is the dead truth)

 

AND when Schilling gets back 100 %(even though he wasn't healthy look at his 20/3 K/BB ratio) along with Wells, who was pitching very well before he went down our rotation makes yours look like the Royals, oh wait, the Royals rotation is probably better.

 

One more thing, is the issue of the bullpen. The Yankees bullpen, sucks more dick then Liberache did. Rivera has lost his aurora surronding him, Gordon can't get lefties out, Quantrill is way too hittable, Mike Stanton has nothing left, Felix Rodriguez is way too wild.

 

As for the Sox bullpen Foulke's easily saved his last 3 games, Timlin's sinker is producing more GO's, Embree's been effective, Mantei is just now locating his curve and his 98 mph fastball, Myers is the best LH specialst ('cept BJ Ryan cause he's just too f***ing good) and by June look at for a kid named Cla Merdith coming up for Boston. 15:3 K to BB ratio, and in 16 IP's he's given up a 7 hits.

 

In all, the Yankees are old (not debatable) they have no chemsitry (not debatable) and most of all they flat out SUCK!

[Sizzlin22]

And thaaaaaaaaaaa Yankees lose, just face it they are really not that good you can't just write this off as a slow start, it's may 7th were beyond that. I've heard the arguement well look at the '04 red sox they played bad for 3 whole months and they went on to win the whole thing. Thisis true but the Sox played .500 ball for 3 months the Yankees are now 8 games under .500 and not looking any better they are jsut ot that good and I will reiterate my prediction of 86 wins and no playoffs for the Yankees this year they have no way to trade for anyone so they're not getting better any time soon.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

This is so hilarious. 200 million worth of jokes.

[Soxfan1]

P.S. YANKEESRULE, I was thinking about it and it's probably right that Steinbrenner throws away more money on s***** players than Bush has used on the war.

See what I mean?

[Sox fan in Tex]

See what I mean?

 

Minnesota is 17-11 and in second place in the AL Central. The PATHETIC Mariners are 12-17 and in last in the AL West. You get get it? Like, people with brains don't bet on the Mariners over the Twins... "you see what I mean", or must I go into more details?

 

Please give me something else to laugh at....talk about how much Embree sucks.

[Sizzlin22]

Please give me something else to laugh at....talk about how much Embree sucks.

As much as I agree with you ya gotta stop bringing that up.

as much as i love arroyo it's hard to pick him over mussina, a guy who has proven year after year to be a consistant pitcher. it's somewhat close but the edge still goes to mussina, the guy is a friggan gamer.

 

wakefield and pavano are a wash so far

 

miller > wang, i agree with that

 

halama > brown, i don't. when healthy kevin brown is a very good pitcher. he might not be the KB he used to be but i think he just needs a change in environment.

 

i don't think schilling will ever be the schilling he was. rushing back from injuries are never a good thing, when your body is not allowed to heal properly it is never the same again. hopefully i'm wrong and everything will be ok, but looking at his age and the type of injury it's hard to not be pessimistic.

[BoSox Rule]

Mussina isn't better than Arroyo at this point. Mussina looks done.

[YANKEESRULE]

Mussina isn't better than Arroyo at this point. Mussina looks done.

 

Hmmm. Mussina is done alright...i guess he pitched that shutout just for the hell of it.

Two shutouts in a row, yep there done, got a couple of games against the Mariners who are struggling, Yanks starting to hit, hell Kevin Brown pitched a gem, Yanks starting to pitch, yanks starting to hit, Sox fans starting to sweat? Umm. maybe to soon to tell but, this is when they turn it a round.

[CrespoBlows]

Not really, I mean you threw shutouts against the A's, which is not much of a accomplishment. Let's see, you also gained no ground this weekend except againt the D-Rays. The Red Sox got Wade Miller back who had better stuff then any of your pitchers, no I'm not starting to sweat, I'm about ready to watch you fall way back in our rear mirror.

[YANKEESRULE]

Yea, two shutouts in a row against a MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL team. No, that's not a good accomplishment, not at all. Geez where do you come up with this stuff. its hard to get a shutout these days, especially two in a row. I guess if the RED SOX did it against the A's it would not be a accomplishment either, give me a friggin' break.

[CalvnHobs6]

Crespo was referring to the blatant lack of offense the Athletics have this year. I would be happy if the sox threw two shutouts against the A's, but not surprised.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Yea, two shutouts in a row against a MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL team. No, that's not a good accomplishment, not at all.

 

It's just like the Portland Sea Dogs throwing a shutout against the Yankees. It's good, but against a worthless team like yours, it's not a surprise.

[Sizzlin22]

He capitalized major league baseball team because he knew he was gonna get slammed it's the A's possibly the worst team in baseball this year.

[ahhchon]

is anyone else thinking chavez was on roids?

[YANKEESRULE]

Worthless, the Yankees are back my friend.They have great pitching in the last few games and even our slumping hitters(except Giambi, do you think anyone would want him?...Nah) are getting important hits. Watch out american League east , the Yanks are coming on strong.

[SuperManny]

the yankees just beat the worst scoring team in baseball for 2 games and had RJ win a one run game. They are looking much better but thats not too hard to do after how they were playing.

 

Here's how the Yankees are back:

4th place in the AL East - 8 Games back

Losing Home record

9-14 in the Division

.424 win %

5 - 5 last 10

167 Runs Scored 176 Runs Allowed

 

I think a $200 million team has to at least be .500 in order to be considered back.

[SuperManny]

oh yeah and the Sox lead baseball in RS with 180 - looks like the best offense in baseball for the 3rd straight year
