  1. The Yankees are the luckiest team in sports.
  2. Duke handed over the reigns of a team with Manny, Pedro, Varitek, Lowe, Damon and Trot. That's a nice head start. They don't have anything close to that now. They will have to build this team from the ground up. They have never done that before. As bad a the 2001 team finished, it wasn't anywhere as bad as this team or the he September version of the 2011 team. The 2001 team fell apart when Pedro went down and it came apart at the seams when Kerrigan was handed the reigns.
  3. 'd love to ruin Showalter's season, but my hatred for the Yanks is worse because I live in NY.
  4. I hate the Yankees the most, because I live among their fans.
  5. They have no fanbase, and I don't think they can build one in southern Florida.
  6. This ownership got handed a team with Manny Ramirez, Pedro Martinez and Nomar Garciaparra in their primes, a blossoming Varitek, Lowe and Damon. They got handed a ton of talent, much more than they have today. I stand by my statement. This Ownership and FO has proved that they can run a great team into the ground. They have yet to prove that they can build a great team from the ground up. That's what they need to do now. We'll find out if they can.
  7. We only know one thing for sure about this ownership group--- that they take a great team and run it into the ground. We don't know if they can rebuild a team, because they took the reins of a nearly finished product. We'll just have to see if they have what it takes.
  8. But the O's will not go away.
  9. Russell Martin with the walk off HR against the A's in the 10 the inning.
  10. Let's not forget the phony website that he tried to put over on MLB.
  11. Brandon Moss hit his 19th to tie the Yankees in the 9th inning.
  12. CC is acing up unlike our guys.
  13. He had been in Boston and the results had been pretty consistent with this year's product. No one is talking about getting him back. Edit: He had comparable production while playing for Toronto too, or doesn't Canada count.
  14. Who will be our second baseman in 2014. Pedey is starting to show wear and tear. In 2 more years, he will be on the downside. Lester will probably be shot by then too, so add second base and another starter to the list of needs.
  15. So, we will be suffering like this until 2015 or 16?
  16. How long do you think the team will be rebuilding before it goes back to the playoffs?
  17. So Scutaro's full season of production in 2012 that is in line with his production since 2009 is not as good an indicator as his partial season at Colorado? If that is what you are saying, it makes no sense.
  18. Greinke has done very well in the heat of a pennant race with the Angels. The concerns about his makeup based on an anxiety issue that he had several years ago are overblown in my opinion.
  19. I agree that he will want to finish as a Yankee, but if they make no move to sign him and he feels disrespected, he may want to prove them wrong. You never know. Could it hurt to court him in the off season? Never mind whether he would want to end his career elsewhere. The answer to that is clearly no, but he may not like having the door shut in his face. From a Red Sox perspective, would this be a good move?
  20. If a team pays a guy expecting a certain level of production and the guy produces to that level for the life of the contract, it is hard to argue that he is overpaid.
  21. As much as I would like to see the Sox ruin Showalter's season, I'd rather see the Y*nkees suffer. This whole season has been one big s*** sandwich. We will probably be subjected to watching the Skanks clinch against us in the last series of the year.
  22. I have read that Soriano can opt to walk from the Yankees after the season. After the year he has had and the failure by Robertson to step up, I suspect that the Yankees will try to retain Soriano. Mo Rivera has stated that he will be coming back. I'm not so sure that the Yanks will want him back if they commit to Soriano. Food for thought: should the Sox make a run at Mo again like they did a couple of years ago?
  23. Scutaro is better than both of them. He's like Pujols compared to Iggy.
