I know, I know, didn't mean anything by it. FIND THAT KID!
-
Oh was that another thinly veiled shot at the Yankees? Should've seen that... Btw, man, don't take offense, I'm not insinuating that anyone would laugh at an Amber Alert or something. Steinbrenner, bulk up on security? Stadiums are big places, but to be a parent and not know where you kid is...that's one of the most frightening experiences.
-
Isn't Paulus running the point? Yeah, I like our chances, but everyone has UCONN as the number one team. JJ, here's another chance at getting it right...
-
Yeah, I did see the last line - nice bolding, italicizing, and underlining there, btw. Nonetheless, he was missing from Friday - I assume by "almost immediately" it means within a couple of hours, and anytime a kid goes missing, all efforts should be made to make sure he gets home safely.
-
OH NO YOU DID NOT JUST GO THERE!! :rant: I remember last year when Duke played at Charlotte in the first-round, and it definitely not a home-court advantage! I can't even remember who they played, but they were booed by the Carolina crowd...everyone was rooting for the other team, because they were "underdogs". Anyways, that's besides the point, but there'll be plenty of smack flying around come college b-ball time.
-
About the farm system...seems like Cash is intent on keeping the core prospects. GOOD. So I dunno if we'll see Jeter-Pettitte-Rivera-Posada part deux soon, IF EVER, but it's worth a shot. That would explain why we can't get any "good" deals, without trading away whatever lingering prospects still remaining.
-
Chan Ho Park was a DISASTER of an investment for the Rangers, disaster. 61 mil, and he had about 22 wins since signing that contract. An albatross that is about as productive as KB was. Oakland is surging - Anaheim faces the Yankees whom they own - so not likely that Texas will stay in the race.
-
They've still got our number... Edit: Oh yay you guys, actually didn't fold when trailing in the late innings! Bailed out the BP today.
-
Point taken. Angels have our asses owned. UGH. WOMACK GOT ON BASE! W00T! I heard that there's a teen missing at Yankee Stadium. Hope they find him soon.
-
You hate Jeter? Or Rivera? So then, if I bring up a list of ALLLLL the great Yanks that have played in the past; Gehrig, Ruth, DiMaggio, Mantle, Berra, etc., can any baseball fan deny their talent and what they did for the game in general? I've heard it brought up that Pujols in his first five years has put up offensive numbers that only compare to five other players in MLB history - and those were some pretty impressive names that are now in Cooperstown.
-
Wow, Woods shot a "Roger Maris" yesterday, to quote SC, 61. He won 4/5 tournaments the last time he shot that score. Didn't check the score today, but yesterday he trailed Singh. Els is sitting out for the rest of the PGA season due to knee injury from a sailing accident. How do you feel about Michelle Wie trying to play on the men's side? And does Annika Sorenstam need to compete with the men to "validate" her status as one of the best golfers?
-
Hey welcome to the boards, nothing against dreaming. Duke, UNC, or Wake fan?
-
Is anyone in the AL East "very good"? Think the division leaders in the Central and West are better teams than the Yankees, Red Sox, Orioles.
-
*shrugs* Technically no deal should be reported until it's finalized, lest it completely falls through, but whatever, rumors will circulate.
-
Saw this an a Yankees board (off-topic): Well, here comes another eleven pages.
-
I detect sarcasm, no? WHO ELSE IS OUT THERE?! Pitching-wise. No one wants to trade with the Yankees. Not even the Royals.
-
Yeah, well I think it's a Michael Kay case of coining a cheesy term, but while they're not the "Nasty Boys" - they'll do. Must you pick on every facet of this organization? I think I answered my own question. No Yankee fan is expecting any acquisition to be "the savior" of this team - at this point it's touch-and-go, do the little things to keep the team in the ball game, and "trust" that the rest of the team will do their parts. Considering all the flak this team has gotten, I'll just say that everything could've blown up a whole lot sooner, and right now they're still in the race for the division, for the WC (which I'm not counting on this point). The AL East is full of questions here; it's not like the Yankees are playing in the Central.
-
Cass! 95 wins to the play-offs...so that would make it 41 wins to go. Fair expectation, since this group won over a hundred in the past, but eh, I'll set the bar where it's fair to be set.
-
Wow, the Mets are trying to compete the Yankees for some backpage ink on this? I'm sorry that the Yankees have to suck collectively as a whole so as to make Carlos Beltran's disappointing [regular?] season fly under the radar. Of course, you can't have postseason heroics if you don't even MAKE it there. Deal is not happening, if at all, until the offseason.
-
Umm, what about Singh, Els, Mickelson? And will Garcia ever win one? I'm not even going to try and pretend to be an expert on this.

Sosa was out, by a mile - and that play could've seriously injured Barajas. He knew the plate was going to be blocked - and yes, any attempt at trying to jar to ball from the catcher's glove is dangerous, but to throw his cleat up in the air - that's something Cobb-like, intentional or not. Sammy-san has some karate chops. Who's his teacher, A-Rod? Well in his case Sosa apologized afterward, calling the Rangers club, and Barajas being classy said he didn't think any less of Sosa for it, but that the play should not have happened. I didn't read more about Guillen, though. I've said this before, but I think it's actually surprising from a factual standpoint, that more pitchers don't get hit by line drives. They're hit directly at the pitcher - I've seen a couple web gems that had they not been caught upon immediate reflex, it could've been ugly - and especially in college where alumininum bats are used. PING!
-
Actually yeah, he did have a few run-ins with the law. QUICK - HIDE THE POT! Oh wait, we traded Weaver... Actually might have a chance against LAA this weekend, I guess.
-
Yup, tough break, but we sure need it. It's pretty much over when that BP comes in...actually, we suck when trailing by late innings anyways, but more to the point. I heard they had to call up AAA for some pitching for this series.
-
Well, let me know if there's any available...SP is a highly valued commodity right now. Nomo sounds like some sort of sushi, but if we can wrap him with the other wash-ups, I don't know, maybe we can actually serve some teams with PITCHING. The Angels must be exhausted after going 16 innings against the Jays - and lost. I heard they called up AAA pitching to help against the next Yankees. Tough break, but with our track record against these guys, we'll need it.
-
I saw "Sports Century" on Curt Flood today - the guy who players today can thank for their big contracts - and it cost him his career. Yesyes, I'm just being silly; not much to talk about in trades until another two days, if anything, if another team's FO helps us come to our senses about some of the most ridiculous transactions that would've happened had they been completed.
