Come on guys join! Only 7 more to go....let's hit 15 this week.

I think it was 8.5 games, because they've lost 8 of their last 9 and are now ahead by 1/2 game.

Goddamn it with you and the predictions. And you're a f***ing tool. How the hell could you be happy to see Pedro "go down?"

I wouldn't be surprised if his publicist made a big deal out of something not so big. Remember, the people around TO who don't normally get attention will get it in something like this. If the publicist wanted attention, well, she got it.

For a minute, because you never post here, I thought you copied and pasted your prediction from another forum where you are named "Pesky". Still not sure why you went out of your way to start a thread about his prediction though.

I read the title of this thread, though. I'm not "riled up." I just find it humorous that you posted your prediction as if you wanted some sort of praise. Other than that, there was no reason to post it.

Well, I've met the man and I've had a few talks with him on various occasions. He's not as greedy as he's made out to be. He's actually one of the nicest people I've ever met. Not to mention that he has said that he would like to pitch in Boston once more. If I met the real Roger Clemens, then 4-5 mill isn't out of the question for his final year of his career in Boston.

Well, I remember his publicist saying he has "25 million reasons to live." Referring to, of course, his $25 million deal with the Cowboys.

For best rookie callup standout does Papelbon count? He was a rookie, but not necessarily a "callup." If he can be put there, I'll change my season vote to Papelbon, but Breslow was an actual callup and he just plain dealt.

Poorly timed? The Yankees lost, and he used the call that you love so much to say that they lost. Big deal. I think you have your panties in a bunch because the call that Yankee fans love is suddenly being twisted and mocked and used against them whenever they lose.

You are so goddamned blind. It's quite funny. It's true. Your posts are either arguing with us trying to salvage any positive reputation that you have here, or they're talking about how the Yankees are winning and that the Sox or Pats suck.

2nd Half Awards MVP-- Ortiz Cy Young-- Papelbon Best Glove-- Loretta (Gonzo basically didn't play in the 2nd half...) Best Catch-- Hinske (irony, I know) at Oakland leaping while running towards the track Best Rookie callup standout-- Breslow Best Game-- Ortiz's walkoff vs. Carmona Best Moment-- Ortiz's 51st. Disappointment of a Position Player-- Coco Disappointment of a Pitcher-- Timlin 2nd Half Comeback Position Player-- Let me think a bit. 2nd Half Comeback Pitcher-- Julian Tavarez 2006 Season Honors MVP-- Ortiz Cy Young-- Papelbon Best Glove-- Gonzalez Best Catch-- Coco against Wright Best Rookie callup standout-- Breslow Best Game-- Schilling vs. Santana (even though we lost) Best Moment-- Ortiz's 51st. Disappointment of a Position Player-- Coco Disappointment of a Pitcher-- Beckett Season Comeback Position Player-- Lowell Season Comeback Pitcher-- Schilling

It's very hard to read one very long post with multiple elipses. Please try to be more coherent in the future, your points become abnormally clearer by simply using correct grammar and punctuation. D-Lowe was not our most solid pitcher. Not by a long shot. He was big in the post-season, but if he was actually a "solid" pitcher during the season we wouldn't have had any trouble getting into the playoffs. It was a race until near the end of the season for the final playoff spot, and D-Lowe during the season dragged us down some. If you think having D-Lowe and Arroyo would keep us in the AL East lead this year, you have another thing coming. Just about everyone went down at the same time and that helped our team crumble towards the beginning of the stretch run to the playoffs. D-Lowe and Arroyo would have been getting lit up in the AL East. You can say whatever you want about his quality starts and whatnot, but once the batters in the NL Central figured him out he was a steaming pile of crap over in Cinci. The only 2 people that I miss from breaking up the '04 team are Petey and Damon, bar none. Those were mistakes. I swear, if Damon is still hitting at approximately a .290 clip scoring runs like mad for the Yankees in his final year on his contract, that will not settle nicely at all with me. In fact, I almost hope it does happen, because I want the front office to get slapped in the face and learn that they don't mess with talent. You keep it. It's ok though, because this year the FO will be watching Pedro and Damon in the playoffs this year, possibly even facing off in the world series. I can feel the sting on their cheeks already.

Why can't we all just say that we'd be happy with either guy at bat in a clutch situation? I know I would... Debating about who's better in a "clutch" situation will never cease, considering some people don't even believe "clutch" exists.

You predicted that the Twins would make the playoffs.....in August. Stevie Wonder could see that the Twins would make the playoffs if he predicted that in August. Want a cookie?

Yes, but if it means coming back to Boston he may take the opportunity to pitch here for one more season even at a lower rate. He's already made enough money (like every single human being would want to do), and after all the millions he's collected he could probably still make 4-5 million this year with the Sox. I wouldn't pass on that if I were him. Though, I'm sure Steiny will offer him a nice sum of money to go finish his career in New York. We'll see, though. Like I said in a previous thread though, he would be one hell of a stopgap for Buchholz in '08.

You've faked trying to commit suicide for sympathy? Anyway, there may be a legitimate argument for him trying to kill himself. After surgery you can be in such an incoherent state of mind and know nothing about what's going on. I fell asleep 3 more times after I first woke up from surgery on my knee because I was so out of it. My surgery was over a good 8 hours before I actually left the hospital (had I been awake and steady right off the bat, I could have left less than an hour after my surgery was over). I wouldn't be surprised if this was a legit accident. Besides, T.O. has no reason to kill himself...he's got money and an elite career going for him. I'm not saying he didn't fake it, I'm just saying he was probably out of it, got some pills confused with other things, took too many, and doesn't even remember what happened when he said "yes" to the police in that he tried to harm himself. ...or I could be wrong and he totally did fake it, I just wouldn't be surprised if he didn't.

Ruffing, I'm absolutely DUMBFOUNDED as to how you picked the Jets over the Colts. I have no problem picking the Bengals over the Pats. You have a terrible case of homerism.

It's a Red Sox board. That's what happens. I would expect Yankee boards to have "3rd Place Cafe" for Red Sox sub-forums. Yankee fans can gloat over there, do it all you want. But when you gloat on a Red Sox board, whether or not this is subconscious or not, is to antagonize us. I agree in that some Sox fans are a little too disgruntled for their own good, but more than half of the bitterness is fueled by unnecessary gloating from Yankee fans that are doing so in the wrong place. The only reason One Red Seat responded the way he did to J_P is because those are the only things he ever says or contributes to this board...meaningless crap that this board would be better off without. If a more respected Yankee fan (like yourself, but I guess not in the eyes of some others, which is kind of weird IMO) said it in an obviously joking way, then I, along with others (I hope), would take it less seriously and POSSIBLY, even snickering once or twice. J_P has a track record of antagonistic, meaningless, stupid crap that comes out of his own glory hole with nothing positive. That's why he got the response he did.

Let's remember that the Yankee Forum was made out of the kindness of Yeszir's heart, not because we needed one.

You wonder who's better? Papelbon or Harden? Jesus Christ.

Because the Falcons lost. If you were a Falcon, you were a loser. DUH.

I stand corrected.
