Lowell's cooled off since early on, maybe an infusion of youth could help right about now.

Whatever works...:thumbsup:

Maybe Millar game him some of his HGH...:dunno:

88 through 6. Villone on for Yanks.

I think this deal needs to get done. Lopez, leiberthal , whoever...we are behind the Yanks and it will only be a matter of time before we can find a catcher that no one else will claim. BTW, how does it work with players going the other way, in this case, minor leaguers? Do they need to clear waivers as well?

Just a quick note. Janik signed a two way with TB 'ning. They may have lost a little bit of physical play with the trade off of Mckee for Spacek but they gained a ton of offense and it came cheaper. You can also add Stafford, MacArthur and Zagrapan making a run at the roster. ALthough I think Paille could be the front runner.

Am I the only one thinking Trot in another Uni would be sacrilege? I know getting an all-star in return would warrant the trade but I just can't picture him in any other gear.

Myers, 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds He was just defending himself...

It sucks moose dick (not that moose). Casting a hollywood fruitcake to play one of Jimmy Fallon's cronies was painful. The movie might have actually been better if they lost. :wetodd:

You are right. I suppose I am a classic example of familiarity breeding contempt. Any one team's fans can be obnoxious. I just happen to be subjected to 200,000 Yankee fans.

Jason Giambi was my favorite player while a member of the A's. Dude was fraking crazy looking. Then he goes to NY and looks like Ward Cleaver. I still like him but man did that really leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Well, it made Johhny Damon look like a tool...:harhar:

I know every team has it's share of a-hole followers. Unfortunately for me, Rochester NY is bandwagon central. Somehow we are in the Yankee TV market, despite the 6 HOUR commute to NYC from my abode. The Yankee fans around me are the same as Dallas Cowboy fans. They started following sports and those were the teams that were winning. So in their infintie wisdom, they decided that if they root for that winning team they themselves would be winners. :dunno:

I believe the nail has been hit on the proverbial head. The Yankees as a team, from Georgie on down are easy enough to dislike. Winning a million championships, spending money like a drunken sailor with terminal cancer, the whole clean cut imag thing, those things are reasons enough to dislike the Yankees but it's not where the hate is drawn from. The hate comes from the bandwagon, frontrunning, know nothing fans that we encounter on a daily basis. Not all Yankee fans are ignorant Baseball tards, just the majority that I come in contact with. I was attending a local minor league game this past weekend, when several displays of typical Yankee fan were on display. While walking through the stadium, everytime I heard some half cocked jerk screaming about normal daily activities, a Yankee fan there stood. While I was watching the game, a giant blob of a human being sat down in front of me. He had on his "cool" Yankee gear, from head to toe. The best of the ensemble was the T-shirt, it read something like this: World Series Championships: Yankee's 26 Red Sox 6 Adorning a T-shirt with said message tells me a couple of things. First off, this is a paltry attempt at a response to the biggest collapse in the history of sports. Second of all, this guys ego is so fragile, he wants everyone to know that his team is still better, even though most of what the shirt states happened before his 10th B-day. If A Yankee fan wants to chat with me about their team, I would love it. I think this current lineup they are toting is their most compelling since 1996. They are finally implementing youth and role players, mostly through injury, but they are still employing an actual team. Not the bunch of mercenaries that has been masquerading around the bronx for the last decade or so. Unfortunately for them, and perhaps even the Sox, pitching is going to haunt this team. As usual, I'm sure deadline deals will patch up a few holes. Well, I guess that was enough for my first real post in this forum, minus the introduction entry. :dunno:
