You play for the Portland Sea Dogs? Well wish in one hand, and s*** in the other, see which one fills up first.

I guess he's trying to add some fire to the rivarly, but if he keeps running his mouth, he'll find himself in trouble.

Lets see Cora is rated a + 3 in the FRAR which means he is a good defensive 2B, and he has made 3 errors this year, (0 at 2nd) Bellhorn is rated a 0 which means he is average, and he has made 7 errors this year (6 at 2nd base) Cora's range factor is 5.37, Bellhorn 5 Care to try again?

Sorry buddy try again, Cora is 10 times better at defense then Bellhorn is.

Olerud would hit about .280/.380/.420 numbers which is acceptable considering his glove.

WHAT?!!!! You want a kid who has never thrown one big league pitch, to close? He'd explode into flames because of the pressure. This kid is in for a piece of humble pie when he gets in. Let's take this slowly, start him at Wilmington let him throw a few innings there, then to Portland, and then the Pawtucket.

From the globe Good call Zenny

Why waste service time on Delmon Young when they won't compete this year?

Johnny's an idiot, great player, but an idiot nontheless. I don't think we should pay attention to what he says.

Why? Berkman's value is maximized at first so he doesn't hurt that knee again.

Johnny Damon is the biggest primadonna on either side. I think Johnny's a great athlete, but don't expect him to be splitting any atoms at Harvard any time soon.

I wanted him over Millar on his OBP alone.

Sorry, but Houston turned that deal down, because Berkman is playing 1st.

Bunting is fundemantal, and your right people like Ortiz should know how to do it, but people like Juan Pierre pull drag bunts, and with Ortiz being as fat as he is, god knows what could happen. Remember that bunt Pierre put down against the Yankees in the World Series? How many of those do you see Ortiz making?

This guy CAN'T bunt, nor should he at all. He needs to swing away, and hit doubles and HR's. Also add the fact that he is probably the slowest runner in baseball, he probably couldn't run it out. You can probably bunt HS fastballs at about 80 mph, and crappy curves that they all throw, but you can't think that Ortiz can lay down a drag bunt at 95 mph.

Oops, you're right, I could of sworn they would have called that game, cause of TS Cindy.

Ortiz isn't getting paid to bunt, he's getting paid to hit homeruns and drive in 140 runs.

OK, dumbass it was 2 out of 3. Not 3 out of 4. Why are we talking to this guy if he doesn't even know how many games the Yankees plays?

Uh, you might want to check your stats there about Renteria. It wouldn't be to please Hanley Ramirez, this guy is a future star, and it would be easier to get him into the lineup as a SS. Renteria has said he'd change postions for Hanley. Once again, I didn't say this was going to happen, this is just an idea to get our top prospect into the bigs smoothly.

Why on earth would the Phillies want Embree?

You might want to add paragraphs, and commas so I can respond to that. What the f***? "Records mean nothing when a team is hitting" So if the Royals hit .500 the next 3 days it doesn't matter that their 28.5 games out? Your lineup still isn't unstoppable, now that Giambi has pressure on him again, will he rise to the occasion or fade away, I really don't know. But Giambi is a good guy to have in your lineup because he gets on base. Cano is overrated with his .315 OBP, and Caberra is unproven. Wang is sick? He can't strike anyone out, and Wright will hurt your team more then he'll help it. I don't see what player your going to get, you have no prospects, and the ones you have are already in the bigs, and won't be traded. The Yankees did this before, but can they sustain it? Momentum is as only good as your next day's starting pitcher, in this case unless your rotation looks like Johnson, Moose, Johnson, Moose, your current rotation won't carry you far. As for the Red Sox running away with it, if Foulke were merely bad, the Sox would be 7 games up. We'll get there when Mr. Schilling gets in the closers role, and I think we fixed our clubhouse problem Damon backed off his comments, and Payton is gone. Just think about it, the Sox are in first place with no ace, and no closer, shouldn't we be making excuses instead of the Yankees? If you couldn't catch us without Schilling, and without a bullpen, what makes you think you will now? Bradford is on the way from Oakland, Schilling is headed to be a the closer. (and for those who think starters can't be closers does John Smoltz ring a bell?) Let's just play worst case scernerio if Schilling can't do it, Timlin can and that should put the Red Sox way ahead in the division. Our bullpen will be sick in August, with Schilling at closer, Foulke in setup (he's been good in non save situations) along with Timlin, Bradford, Myers, Papelbon, and Declarman it won't be much of a contest.

I don't think they'll resign Mueller, I wish they would because he's a phenomal player. But I think that Theo think that Youkillis can play everyday, and with Youkillis being 25, that should give him the nod.

Why would you give up your starting 3B next year for a player who'd help you for the rest of this year?

Look, you're in for a serious reality check. The Yankees need to get at least two guys in the bullpen, and at least another starter. Wang has a 3.28 K/9 which doesn't bode well for future sucess in the AL. Ask Mr. Pavano how that worked for him, but his was 1 K higher. Your bullpen is in rougher shape then the Red Sox, you only have two guys that can get outs Rivera, and Gordon. Other than that, do you trust Wayne Franklin to get Ortiz out? Your rotation is awful, other than Johnson, and Mussina. Your other starters are Wang, Small and Sturtze, that's f***ing pathetic.

Are you guys actually doubting Schilling's abilty to get 3 outs?!! This is a perfect idea, it fits in perfectly with Curts personalty, this man rises to the occasion, he loves to pitch in big games. Schilling in door slamming oppurtinies every night, with the spotlight on him, he'd love it.
