Oops, my bad :lol:

 

Just giving the resident troll a hard time.

hey i dont have a problem with it, i just thought it was funny...

Yeah, I figured. Jacko's usually pretty vocal. So if he doesn't take up an argument like that, you have to figure it's not an argument he thinks he can win.

 

Sometimes I like to test him to see just how far out from reality he'll go to argue the greatness of the Yankees and their players.

[The_Destroyah]

maybe or maybe he just doesnt feel like arguing because neither one of you are going to convince each other anything...(dont take that the wrong way, i agree with everything you said)

It could be. But I've noticed that he's become a lot less vocal than he was when I first joined the site. I'd like to think it was because of the beat downs I gave him in some arguements. I had people sending me private messages laughing at how much I embarrassed him.

[The_Destroyah]

it is certainly enjoyable, id say to do the same thing to Gom but he rarely has any even semi-valid points or stats to prove anything so you really dont need to do anything to Gom ha

[Dutchy]

Red Sox win. All the Yankees can do today is keep pace.

[jacksonianmarch]

9-1, they will keep pace

Gom's like an angel compared to Jacko. Gom admits Chamberlain has limitations as a starter while Jacko claims that Joba's curve (with a negative run differential) is a plus pitch. Jacko claims Burnett's dominant, then claims that Penny with similar stats (and better sabermetrics) is a poor pitcher. He really is off on his own planet. I haven't ever seen Jacko make a comment that didn't either support the Yankees or criticize the Red Sox.

[The_Destroyah]

for now...who do the yanks have left to play before the AS break?

 

EDIT:this is directed to Jacko

Looks like it, but I love watching the Yankees try to keep pace after the Red Sox have already taken care of business.

[jacksonianmarch]

2 more vs Minny and 3 vs Anaheim in Anaheim.

 

BTW, I feel bad for Cervelli. He's been everything we could ask for out of a backup, but he's going down to AAA after today's game

I will however say that i did find Jackos thread following the draft was very nice and i did appreciate the updates

[jacksonianmarch]

Your "ace" has a 3.80+ ERA? That's cool.

 

your ace has a 3.62ERA, ours has a 3.76. Not much difference.

[BoSox21]

your ace's arm will fall off in August

Yeah, Cervelli's done well and he's caught most of Sabathia's starts, hasn't he? It'll be interesting to see how CC transitions to another catcher.

thats a rougher schedule than the sox's we might finish the first half 3 games up if we dont f*** the rest of these games up

[Dutchy]

A few less doughnuts (a day) and Sabathia totally would have beaten Span to the bag.

[Dutchy]

Yeah, going on a 1 team west coast trip before the All-Star game is rough. The Yankees have 2 more west coast trips after the All-Star break because of that.

[Dutchy]

Our ace has a FIP in the low 3's. If you want to look at real stats, just let me know. But I'm pretty sure you were thoroughly embarrassed last time we did this after you claimed Burnett has been dominant.

The Yankees are a better team than the Red Sox right now, but they just can't beat us.

[Dutchy]

I will however say that i did find Jackos thread following the draft was very nice and i did appreciate the updates

 

I don't think I was around for that. Maybe he can make another positive impression next year

[The_Destroyah]

well i enjoyed that thread but he then had to have the thread about the next "Miguel Cabrera" lol playing catcher in the Yanks farm system...

I can't wait to face them again and pad our lead some more

[Dutchy]

Yeah, that's the point where the whole thread began to make fun of him, he called us all idiots, and left. Pretty common pattern for his threads.

[The_Destroyah]

poor, poor Jacko...lol

[Dutchy]

You have to wonder why he posts in a Red Sox forum when he routinely gets made fun of for making comical homer comments. I think he has such a grudge against the Red Sox that he finds it worth it to get in his daily digs at the team, even if he is the laughing stock of the site.

[The_Destroyah]

yeah im still not sure why there are yankees fans on this site, not to say that i dont enjoy reading the debates that go on between sox fans and yanks fans and the occaisional humor and the rare good or interesting point made by a fan in pinstripes, but i just dont get why they join, i am not a member of any yankees forums and i dont want to be, i guess i just dont get it

I can understand why some Yankees fan are here. Plenty of them make logical points and provide good discussion. And it's always great to joke around with them.

 

I just don't get why a Yankees fan would join this site for the prime purpose of bashing the Red Sox. Maybe it's an inferiority complex, I doubt you'd see much of this before 2004.
