  1. "not good enough to win the division." The Yankees have their share of weak spots too. I still think the Yankees are the only team they need to worry about, but unless they (the Yankees) can reel in a lights-out pitcher and/or the likes of Jim Thome to prop them up a bit, I wouldn't be terribly concerned about that. My money says the Red Sox will steamroll their way to and through the playoffs and the World Series this year.
  2. Well you can point at little holes that may need to be filled, but when you look around at the rest of the league, and consider the weakness of the other league, I don't think they need to make any deals at all. The Yankees are the only team in either league that they have to worry about beating this year. The outcome of the 2006 season, and the 2006 World Series, comes down to where the Red Sox and the Yankees stand at the end of September.
  3. Alex Rodriguez is a head case. It has nothing to do with pressure on the field or getting boo'ed by tourists in Yankee Stadium. (I say tourists because there is no such thing as 'Yankees Fans', only 'tourists'). The moment that the last out was recorded in game 7 of the ALCS in 2004 was the moment that Alex Rodriguez became a broken man. He will live through that moment over and over again, every day, for the rest of his life. He will never recover. If he ever winds up in a Boston uniform, his psychiatrist will probably triple the hourly rate.
  4. "well youre not familiar with arods work out regimen" Well, start with some Pond's Creme........
  5. TAVARES was a very popular band in the 70's Their biggest hit was "It Only Takes A Minute"
  6. Or maybe we could get Jim Thome and Jose Contreras from the White Sox in exchange for Willy Moo and a couple of prospects.
  7. What are the odds we could get Jeter? Barry Zito? hahahahaha
  8. That MO fella is a little bit too anxious at the plate. Kinda reminds me of the way Nomar used to swing at balls that nearly bounced in front of the plate, except this guy swings at pitches that the catcher has to lunge up for. Sure, he's got potential. Let him develop it in the minors. Or let some other team put the "potential" on the field for major-league games.
  9. That's the thing. There always going to be some grandstander who puts in a full screen worth of material, so you have to scroll past it to see the next post, and sometimes have to see the same thing four times in order to read eight posts. I saw a hip-hop forum once where half the members had full-size 8.5 x 11" flyers in their sigs. Absolutely ridiculous in the dictionary sense of the word.
  10. "the life of a Yankee fan" Ther is no such thing as a Yankee Fan. Whenever the team is trailing by 4 or more runs in the 6th inning at home, all the New Yorkers leave the stadium and all that's left are the tourists and the visiting team's fans.
  11. Come on. Roger Clemens with all those Cy Young awards and whatnot. And the 20-strikeout games? Only one other guy in the history of the game has ever done it even once. There is no comparison and nothing to debate.
  12. How about "Dublya"?
  13. They could win the World Series this year, next year, the year after. They could win 150 games in a season; it would be beside the point. Yankees Suck.
  14. "The Yankees have won more world championships " Just making an assumption here, but haven't they also yielded more world championships to expansion teams than any other team has, as well?
  15. Dude has been around long enough to know you don't say that kind of stuff while under contract to another team. Imagine if a pop star ever pulled this with their record labels?
  16. I think there are better things to get uptight about.
  17. Just for fun, they should have offered Bard and Meredith to the Yanks for Damon first.
  18. http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/schedule/index.jsp#20060501 Just thought it was kind of cute - seeing which games tickets are available for (across both leagues), and which games are sold out.
  19. Hit batsman take first base.
  20. Duffy has to shut up and stop being a whiny little bitch. Duffy's manager has to shut up and be a major league baseball manager, not the bitches mommy. If you don't sign a major league contract, you won't have to worry about getting hit by a baseball. Schilling may be an arrogant jackass sometimes, but that's got nothing to do with this Duffy cat being a pussy.
  21. Sammy who?
  22. He's got his World Series rings, and he's got his boatload of Cy Young trophies. After all the years of talk about wanting to be closer to home with his family, he'd be making a royal jackass of himself by signing with Boston.
  23. So I should sue Kevin Millar if I choke on a chicken bone? This "Delgado" character is pretty transparent as a publicity hound. Who is taking advantage of whom here?
  24. One thing to consider is that the Yankees are not quite as strong as they usually are, and the Red Sox, though strong, are not a steamroller by any means. The Blue Jays showed their mettle this past year, and perhaps owndership feels that this may be a good time for a hard drive. A little boost can go a long way; what will a big boost do? The Jays might make things very interesting in the AL East this year.
  25. At least he didn't accuse any other players of needing to use Viagra. That would have created a stir.
