speech impediment or is he just retarded?

You are right. You are not getting it. The Red Sox winning is more enjoyable than the Yankees losing, unless the Red Sox are the one's beating them. But if we don't win, it makes matters so much worse if the Yankees do win, because we have to put up with the likes of thousands of Yankee fans like yourself walking around like arrogant asses. BTW when you lost to the Red Sox in 2004, are you gonna tell me it was just like any other loss. It wasn't worse becauseit was at the hands of RSN. -

If the move results in an October where the players are watching the post-season from their couches, then the move would have been a miserable miscalculation. After the Beckett/Mota deal, this team only needed to re-sign Damon and a few minor tweaks to get to the top of the mountain. You don't build a team with a $120+ million payroll to play for the future. In a couple of years Manny and Ortiz will be gone as well a Schilling and Lowell and maybe Nixon. That's a lot to replace and be able to forecast a good 5 to 8 year run. What could you be basing that on? This team was built to win now. If ownership sacrificed that for 2 extra draft choices that may never reach the ML level, then I would say they miscalculated and someone in the FO needs to be held accountable. They need this team to make an October push. Anything less will be viewed as a major failure by the FO. -

Let's hope it wasn't a miscalculation, that costs us a chance at making the Post-Season, and worse yet that pushes the Yankees to the top of the mountain again. -
No way Wilson comes that cheap, especially after the money Reggie Sanders got.
-
The only throws to home that got anyone out were relays from Jeter.
-
He couldn't even reach 3B.
-
Wilson would come with a pricetag that will make the FO wish they kept Damon.
-
I used to call him Home Run Derby Weaver.
-
Uh, no, it's not decent. It's pretty weak. He needs Jeter to relay throws to the plate when he is in short LF. He has a quick release, but no arm strength. He could never make the throw from RF to 3B.
-
Yeah, I'd like to see Matsui make the throw from RF to 3B. He'll need 2 relay throws.
-
Weaver? yuk!
-
Yeah sure, I'd like to see Damon make the throw from RF to 3B.
-
Congratulations.

-
I don't know if I am leaving anyone out, but assuming Wells gets traded, I have 11 locks for the pitching staff. If Millwood gets signed Arroyo or Clement get moved. 1. Schilling 2. Beckett 3. Wake 4. Arroyo 5. Clement 6. Papelbon 7. Mota 8. Foulke 9. Timlin 10. Seanez 11. DiNardo I doubt that they will take more than 11 pitchers north in April. Who would Lester replace?
-
A SS and CF are more important.
-
I'd be very surprised if he made the opening day bullpen.

It's a long list, and not about to go researching names about an issue that ML pitching coaches have acknowledged. I'm not even sure 170+ inning is the magic #. For some guys it may be 150. It depends on their development. Roy Halladay had a significant drop off in performance after throwing 200+ innnings. He had shoulder problems and was basically innefective. Dontrelle Willis experience a tired arm and ineffectiveness in his second year after throwing around 150 innings in his first year. Chris Carpenter's ERA ballooned to over 6 after throwing around 150 innings. The theory about young pitchers and innings is out there in the ML mainstream. You do the research and disprove it. Are there any predictions as to Papelbon's innings this year? I am going with 140.
-
The boing stopped, because Jeter went on a hitting tearand Mo didn'y blow a save formonths, not because Yankee fans got a collective hold of themselves and decided it was wrong. Damon must have a learning disability if he thinks he can go to the Yank without RSN hating him. He saw the rivalry up close for 4 years. He must be a little slow.
-
The cheers were fairly loud, many were standing and there were no boos.
-
pick one jsinger 170 or 180.
-
He won't be there for long. Someone in the rotation will start slow or come up lame and he'll be in the rotation, but I dont see him putting up alot of innings before June. If they work this kid to 170+ innings in a penant race, they could permanently damage him. It's too big a risk and he's too valuable to screw him up. Why don't we each predict his innings and see what happens. I am in at 140.
-
I think most of us feel the same way about Damon, but he's on the enemy list for the next 4 years.
-
140 innings at the ML level is a little different. Hitters at the ML level are more selective. His pitch count in 140 ML innings will be equate to several more innings at the AA level.
-
What bad things did Wells do? I know he wore Babe Ruth's hat when he pitched a game, and that he missed the Sports Illustrated Cover Picture with the rest of the Yankee staff, and that he likes to shoot nose rockets on the mound, but nothing bad. As for Sox fans taking things too far, what in the world are you talking about. Damon was never booed in Fenway, and he had a loyal following of Red Sox fans from coast to coast. Are you talking about some of the stupid posts on various boards? Well, I don't think Johnny D. or Jeter or any of them read our crap, especially not Damon who is apparently learning disabled.
