  1. Agreed. Pedro, Manny and Ortiz should have their numbers retired. Their accomplishments were historical. I still maintain that a strong argument can be made based on Lg Adj ERA, h/9, Whip, k's/9, and Winning % that Pedro is the best pitcher of all time. I've never seen a 1-2 punch like Manny and Ortiz. Unless you've seen Gehrig and Ruth no one has seen anything comparable.
  2. He just made my list of favorite Yankees. He's right there with DiMaggio, Mantle, Howard, Maris, Munson and Lidle.
  3. Has he ever been in good shape?
  4. Yankees!!
  5. I'd prefer that POS Snyder over DiNArdo or Romero, and Murphy over Hinske. The bench is still weak as is the bullpen
  6. There is still work to be done by the FO. I'll be gagging in opening day if Hinske, Romero or DiNardo are on the roster.
  7. Don't mess around like that! I hate Basketball and Hockey.
  8. I thought it was pretty funny when they ripped off their chest hair.
  9. Thanks SFoC and HeHateME for your generosity. The whole season was a lot of fun.:thumbsup:
  10. Great! I'd like to change my user title to "Ballpark Pontiff." I alreay have a TalkSox shirt. Thanks.
  11. I played second base until about age 37. I've been lobbing a softball ever since. I am hoping to keep doing it until age 60.
  12. If he bombs? He wasn't that great when he was in his prime with the Yankee Dynasty team. He's not going to be any better three years after leaving with more wear and tear on his arm. Mr. (I want to play closer to home) Pettitte came back for one final big pay day to the only team that would cough up $34 million to him for 2 years. This will make Unit's contract look like a bargain.
  13. Who was the guy (I am assuming it was a guy) who claimed to have done Keith Foulke's wife?
  14. I sawhim play. He was on some pretty good hitting Pirate teams. I think he dug graves on the weekend.
  15. MDC and Hansen
  16. MDC is also in that group. Give them MDC or Hansen.
  17. I pay some attention to the prospects, but not as much as others. If your forecasting is 15 to 20% more accurate than mine, it would still be very speculative. I don't mean this as a criticism, because the people in the best position to make these decisions are far from 100% in their projections.
  18. None of us on this site are in any position to judge whether they are doing a good job in scouting and drafting players until these prospects start to bear fruit in the majors or as trade bait. All of you earnest research is in the end not as accurate as a long term weather forecast. I applaud your interest in this aspect of the organization, but where I am in life, I don't have the interest in devoting the time necessary to researching speculative matters. There's enough for me to debate about the major league team without arguing about prospects or where the organizations prospects should be ranked.
  19. I don't care what he costs. We've got him now. The Red Sox franchise is a billion dollar enterprise. I'm not worried about them getting hamstrung by this contract and having it affect their ability to put out a competitive team.
