26 to 6

Was this planned or something? Talk about a reunion of sorts. It's a relief to see all of the members I came up with lol I was losing hope in this board. ..jp

That's been a continuing trend. Since he departed from the Twins as a dominant setup man for Everyday Eddie to be the Cubs closer he seems to have gone downhill every year since. I wasn't too thrilled about this signing. I would havemuch rather kept Viz. Hopefully he can be servicable in the middle innings though. I say his designation for assignment comes no later than July. Anyone want that action? ....sure hope i'm wrong though.

f***ING DOLPHINS!!!!!!! As a Jets fan the one thing making this season anything close to worth-while to me was hopefully seeing the Dolphins go 0-16.

All of the games featuring the Red Sox, their exhibitions against the Giants and Tigers, as well as the games against the A's will be 5 a.m. EST. The A's two exhibitions with Yomiuri and Hanshin will be 10 p.m. EST. Obviously sbject to change so dont hold me to it.

"I don't do needles dude" -David Justice ..I really don't do needles though. I'll cry like a bitch before getting a needle.

I hope the Yanks release their schedule sometime soon.

That was the worst part about when the Yankees opened over there in 2004. As somebody who i certainly not a morning person and had their far share of absences and tardiesin High Schol, I can say for sure that if there were baseball games on at 5am everyday that would never have been a problem . I know this topic has beed dead for quite some time, but I've been reading up a lot about the tripn recent weeks and actually plan to head over to Tokyo for a week in March to see the games. I love when MLB & NPB come together for whatever reason. Whether t be MLB opening a season over there, or the Nichi-Bei MLB/NPB All-Star Series every 2 years, I think it's great. The marketing perks are fantastic, and it strengthens the relationship of the leagues, fan-bases, countries, etc. MLB did right this year by putting a larger gap of time between the Japan series and the regular season over here, and having the Sox play the 3 games in LA (I amparticularily looking forward to watching the one at the Coliseum). The Yanks back in '04 had less than a week to readjust after coming back from Japan, and only one exhibition game, against the Tigers, before heading north. I have to obviously agree that starting the season in Japan can have a negative effect on a team once they get back to the states, but I think it's alittle over-blown. I mean hey, the Mets opened in Tokyo in 2000 and won the pennant. The Yankees opened in 2004 and won the division. Basically, point is that the baseball season is long and grueling, and despite whatever barriers are placed before a team, the best teams find themselves in the postseason cmoes seasons end. A slow adjustment period of about 2 weeks won't make the difference in a season, so I dont think you guys who have expressed concern should worry too much about it. ...now that i've resurrected a 7 month old thread, i'm gonna go back to being extremely bored and sick on a snowy Sunday afternoon.

Agreed.

The Post also did a big one on him today. http://www.nypost.com/seven/12162007/sports/yankees/straight_from_the_heartland_931862.htm?page=0

He doesn't, but thats 700 for ya. Leave it to him to take any, and every opportunity to bash the Yankees.

The worst of the bunch IMO. Either those or the new Toronto road unis I think.

ouch

yeah they brought back the powder blue, but only on tops. It'll look funny seeing the powder blue top with the white pants. Also, the Blue Jays changed their road jersey and the Phillies added an alternate, as did the Guardians. The Jays will also be wearing their old powder blues on Fridays I believe. Not sure if it's all fridays or just friday home games or what the deal may be.

Oh lol I assume you were refferring to my statement regarding accomodating the World Series patch come October?

edit

I remember back in 2003 when the Yankees featured their 100th anniversary patch on the cap and sleeve it came as a shock, as there was no mention of it until opening night in Toronto. They went all through Spring Training with regual caps and jerseys, and I remember being personally surprised, and trying to make out what the patch said the night of that first game in Toronto (which also happens to be thenight Jeter seperated his shoulder due to his collission with recent Red Sox minor leaguer Ken Huckaby ...just wanted to point that out). Anyways, keeping in mind that the Yankees are hosting the All Star game this year, and that the host team has worn a patch on their sleeve all season going back quite a few years now, it's expected that they feature a patch. I know this isn't a significant topic or anthing, but being the uni-history nut that I am I felt the need to point this out. While browsing the Yankee page on shop.mlb.com I noticed that they have available for purchase the 2008 jerseys with not one, but TWO sleeve patches. Makes you wonder what happens when we make the World Series. Do they replace the one on the right with the Series patch, or just add it to the sleeve, having two on it (three in total). http://mlb.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pMLB2-1826255dt.jpg http://mlb.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pMLB2-1826261dt.jpg I want to get one, but they're not yet available customized. Only can be ordered with no number on the back.

I didn't take too kindly to that myself. I still believe him, but he's gotta use better word-choice. Obviously it was an error in judgement Andy. He even went on to state that he didn't feel comfortable with what he was doing so he stopped, so he himself obviously thought it was an error in judgement. NOTE: Don't take my calling Pettitte out on his usage of words and spin it to make it look like a retraction of my satement in which I said I believe him, because I know that would be coming.

Really? I never heard anything about Pettitte and cheating. What do you know? ..as for it being hard to read the report, the answer is yes. I did nt sit there and completely read 409 pages. I've only read between 100-200 pages of it. If YOU did indeed read the entire thing, kudos my man. I know it's a longshot, but how do we know that Andy didn't get a prescription? None of us have access to his medical records.

In 2007 obviously Crisp and Edmonds were comparable. Remember the pont I made about age and decline in talent (with the excetions of Bonds and Clemens)? In their primes, Crisp or Edmonds? If you say Crisp I can never take another word you say seriously.

lol dont take what I said and spin it, thats not what I said at all. There's a big difference between a priest sexually abusing little innocent 8 year old boys and a former sunday school teacher/Major League pitching star trying HGH TWICE to assist in injury recovery.

no prob you .032 hitter
