Talk to me. I've got a few good SPs.

No. When you suck that bad, the rivalry doesn't have as much juice. I really, really...hate your f***ing team. Sadly, I kinda like you guys on the forum. Just your bad luck to be born in a geographically-challenged area, at least for baseball. For us... Membership has it's priviledges.

ORS, please resend the request again. I'm not sure who I even have left on my team.

Who do you want for Figgins, Fielder and Papi? LOL!

Even though I drafted Buchholz in our league, I hope he is dropped. I hope you finish in 3rd again.

Don't hate me 'cause I'm beautiful. :harhar:

Notes: To make room for Ensberg, RHP Carl Pavano (elbow) was placed on the 60-day DL. I thought you guys would want to hear it first...here. On TalkSox.

Chris Young, Jair Jurjens, and Ian Kennedy on the block. Best offer gets one or all. Need RP/C

Well...I have pitching. I need 2B/C and RP. Bring on the offers fellas.

Oh s***..when exactly is the draft? I thought it was set for Thursday. I'm ok on one of those days, but I need to know which one.

Last year, Mussina went into the season as the best pitcher of either the Yankees OR the Red Sox. Look at 2006: 15-7 3.51 ERA 197.1 IP 1.11 WHIP Now, if you look at this past years, he generally follows a bad season with a good one. Do I think he can be Cy Young caliber. No. However, if he comes anywhere close, and I mean anywhere close to those kind of numbers again, the Yankees will win the division by 8+ games like in 2006. Look, this isn't some Yankees homerism from me. The teams finished within 2 games of each other last year. We had 39 [!] starts from guys last season who are now in the minors this year, mainly due to injuries we sustained last year. If we simply get stability from our rotation this year, the team will improve. Schilling said it best. Whichever team has a healthier starting rotation wins the division. With Schilling done for at least half the year, if not his career, and Beckett having back issues, coupled with the Red Sox terrible schedule in May/April, I think the Yankees are the favorite to come out of the gate in better position. If Mussina has another near 3.50 ERA season again, you guys are going to worry about the Guardians and the Tigers, and not us. You'll be playing strictly for the wildcard. Now...if Mussina has a year like last year, and Matsuzaka realizes he is a top-flight pitcher...the reverse holds true. 2006 37 NYY AL 15 7 32 32 1 0 0 0 197.3 184 88 77 22 35 172 5 3 804 1 0 3.51 4.52 129 1.110

No one cared. The media made this out to be worse than we felt. We lost a backup minor league catcher for 10 weeks. It was a non-story in New York.

No, Kilo. He never called the Elliot play dirty. He said it was unnecessary. I've been known to enjoy it from time to time. You're really becoming a part of the "Die Hard Yankee" fan club. Good for you!

You guys are in the same boat as us. Two rookies in your rotation. You know, without Schilling, our rotations look very similar Beckett>>Wang Matsuzaka Hughes=Buchholz Lester>Kennedy Wakefield=Mussina The rotations are pretty even, a big advantage to you guys as an ace. I consider the pens pretty even with Chamberlain in the pen for the Yankees. Our hitting is much better than yours. Should be another close race.

Derek Jeter: Holy smokes, Arod! There's a basebrawl in St. Petersburg. It looks like Shelley Duncan is about to get taken out by the evil Gomes. Arod: DJ! To the Arod-mobile! Let's go! In the Arod-mobile..they'd get there in 20 seconds.

Still have a couple of openings if you guys are interested. Let me know, draft is tonight at 8 PM

Has to be Kobe. Actually, it's the Lakers GM.

They weren't on the trip. They didn't go to the game. What did you want them to do, drive a couple of hours to get into the scrum?

For once, you Red Sox fans and us Yankee fans can agree on one thing. Her curve is much better than his. It's amazing what one no-hitter can get you.

Yeszir, delete this thread tomorrow, but if you can let it go until then, it would be cool. We have a couple of open teams left in our replay sim league here at talksox. Check it out on the main page here, and if you guys are interested, sign up. Our draft is tomorrow at 8 PM.

I pray I never get sick.
