With the posts that the yankees are mediocre because they have 200 million dollar payroll and are fighting for their playoff lives. What they have done this season is amazing considering what happend to their beginning of the season starting rotation.

 

Randy Johnson- Has performed like a #3 starter at best

 

Mussina- Inconsistent

 

Carl Pavano- Injured, sucked most of the time anyway

 

Jaret Wright- Injured for most of the season

 

Kevin Brown- Injured, was never really effective

 

Wang- not part of the opening day rotation, but he's been injured for a month now too

 

Now tell me some other teams with that kind of luck would be in the same position as the yankees are in right now. There are few if any.

 

And yes, I do have the most amusing name on the board. B)

Enough, huh? Face it, regardless of injury problems, if this team doesn't make the playoffs, then people will be talking about it for a long time since they are the first $200+Million team.

 

The Red Sox have had to deal with injuries (Foulke, Schilling, Wells, etc.) and ineffectivness (Embree) in the pitching staff this season too. Plus we've had to deal with some position injuries as well.

 

And, as far as your name goes, that will stop being funny once you get done with the 6th grade. Grow up.

If you have valid points that you want to make or debate, that's fine. But I can tell you this hit and run and attempt to hi jack and dominate threads won't be tolerated.

Has he realized he's on a RED SOX fan discussion forum? We hate them with everything we have. Respect for their history and what they have accomplished? Yes. But we can hate them too.

 

On another note, don't come here on your first day, read threads, and make a new one to say "ENOUGH WITH ALL THIS s*** TALKING YOU'RE HURTING MY FEELINGS!!!!!" Hi-jacking threads isn't your best bet here.

Smokey, you get really emotional; I can tell by the use of your five exclamation points. !!!!! :lol:

 

"Some other teams" wouldn't be this stupid or jinxed to be in our position. Hmph. <_ and you haven even glossed on the position players. it seems that we win in spite of not because pitching paltry defense etc. stuff was supposed to be addressed yet there still gaping holes.>

let alone his "amusing name" he came up with, is something a little kid would come up with. lets see what his posts are when papelbon makes his debut against the yanks, and has the same effects on Vlad and the Angels ;)

With the exception of a few, most of the a holes come here solely to piss us off. Usually, after those rare occasions when the Yanks win and we lose. They won't be back if Papelbon or anyone else shut's them down. If we can't ban them, then just ignore them. Unless and until they can intelligently discuss baseball within the context of this site.

Meh, if you find him malicious or his remarks disparaging, then move it, but personally I think once he realizes to just agree to disagree, then it's fine.

 

Gosh, could the blood pressure skyrocket anymore when these two teams meet? Or even when they don't. :(

Israelis and Palestinians...that'll be the day. ;)

 

Is this going to be a contest? :D Coke and Pepsi merge products, Wal-Mart decides to pay its workers, Bush learns how to ride a bike, eat a pretzel, and pronounce "nuclear" correctly.

Funny you should mention that. I said something online to my friend one day and it is still quoted in his AIM profile.

 

NYYanks2212: I'll go out with a Sox fan the day the Israelis and Palestinians have a mass orgy on the West Bank.

No you don't. You probabaly have the most immature name though.

 

I don't like you already.

Obviously you guys can't take a joke. :blink: My name isn't supposed to be offensive.

 

Anyway, yeah, you've had a few injuries, but it's not like your entire starting rotation went down. The yankees have had worse luck and if they do make the playoffs, it's truly an accomplishment.

A few?!? I'd like to see the Yankees without their closer, see how well they would do. (NOT BY ANY MEANS COMPARING RIVERA AND FOULKE, because Rivera is the best there is, just saying a closer who gets the job done, and Foulke did that last year)

My name is immature, but names like A-fag are ok.

If anyone can find a single post I ever made with "A-Fag" in it I'll pay them 100 bucks.

 

I'll put this nicely, go away please.

Seriously, how many games have we lost because we didnt have a hammer in the pen to close it out? I'm sorry yank fans, but if you lost rivera for 2/3rds of the season, you'd be fighting toronto and baltimore for 3rd place at best, and nowhere near contention for wild card this year. ;)

I don't have anything to add to this argument, but I had to comment on the fact that the one who started this thread seems to have the least to say...
