Kilo, since you're the newest member of the Die Hard Yankee Fan Club, let me point out some things to you buddy. 1) Girardi defended his player. That's what a manager is supposed to do. That's his JOB. That's every manager's job. I never saw a more uncomfortable manager defending his player than Torre when Clemens tried to spear Piazza with a bat shard in the World Series. Part of the job description. 2) Pete Rose ran over a catcher in an All-Star Game. The ultimate bush league play. Agreed. Spring training is different, but closer to the All-Star game IMHO. 3) I was watching the game. Phillips threw a high and tight fastball that brushed the Jersey. The ump over-reacted. You don't hit someone if there are two players on base with two out. 4) It's high time that the Yankees stood up for themselves. The Yankees, by and large, have been a very pacifist team under Torre. A little edge to them can't hurt them. Now...all this being said....as a Yankee fan...Shelley Duncan was DEAD WRONG. I would not be surprised, nor upset, if he was suspended, and deservedly so. He took a chance at seriously injuring a player INTENTIONALLY. The play that broke Cervelli's wrist was a stupid, unnecessary play, but it was a clean play, and the injury was unintentional. This resulted in no injury to really speak of, but it was intentional. You guys know me. I love the Yankees, but I do my best to not let my subjective love for my team cloud my objectivity.

Dude...who cares? It's done in fun. The sanctity of the pinstripes? It's spring training. Lighten up. Relax. Get a blowjob. It's spring training.

Oh my God dude. Do you believe everything you read? I hear you are studying to be a doc, which means you must be on the more intelligent side of average. Does it make any sense that this is what the Twins would take and then not counter-offer when the Yankees said no, and then accept what the Mets gave them? Get real.

Your turn to face the injury bug this year.

I didn't know he was French. Dammit...I actually thought he was a decent fellow. I ONLY ORDER FREEDOM FRIES FROM McDONALDS.

You know yeszir...we are looking for two more members...

Hey yeszir, can you make it as a regular forum instead of a sub-forum? People can't see the new posts unless they actually click on it. Let me know. Even putting it in the Talksox Archive and renaming it to say...TalkSox Sim League...would be better. Just an idea.

Either that, or you'd catch a disease, depending on where you bit.

I've looked up a word or two when I wasn't sure of my spelling. Isn't that what you are supposed to do?

I think that's because the majority of Jets fans are SEVERE Pat's haters. The fact that is was another NY team that beat the Pats made them giddy. I'm a diehard Yankees fan, but there were some years, in the late 90's, I watched almost as many Mets games in September. When the Yankees have the pennant all but clinched in the first week of September [i think they clinched one year in AUGUST], and the Mets are fighting tooth and nail with the Braves, it was just more interesting. By that token, I watched more Mets/Phillies/Rockies/Padres/Diamonback games the last weekend of baseball than I did the Yankees. Doesn't mean I root for them. There is something about elimination games that just gets me going.

I am actually a very well-read person. I am also very eloquent. Bite me, you Red Sox bastards.

Yes it should. You're a part of our family, buddy. Just because your sister isn't famous doesn't mean we should care.

I only love the Yankees. Never loved another team, never will. I'll root for other teams, but I don't really care either way. In fact, I'll root for Boston if it benefits the Yankees [i.e., Boston out of the playoff picture, but they're playing, say, the Tigers, and the the Yankees are neck and neck with them for homefield advantage].

Eye ken spel veri gud.

First of all, spell "commence" correctly, you fat bastard.

I think after a couple of years, you guys finally get my sense of humor and appreciate it.

More than I'd care to admit. At least you didn't ask HOW I got them. That's the advanced membership. He doesn't qualify for the "Flintstone Vitamin Package".

It's not that I have two teams VI...it is just rare that I watch a game without rooting for one team over another. It's the competitive part of me. I like the Giants, but I also like the Jets. I root for both to win. I'd love to see an all-NY Superbowl. That's all. I am a Yankee fan, first and foremost. I will root for the Mets when they play the Dodgers or the Marlins. That's about all. I will admit though...I was kinda rooting for the Marlins in the last game. I wanted to see an epic collapse, so I could shut my Mets fans up about 2004.

Igawa 2008 AL Cy Young. Mark my words. LOL!

I'm ok with it. No Friday's though. Dem's my drinkin/whorin days.

Join our sim league then HHM.

You are such an *******. You sound like a die hard Yankee fan....in fact.... I'm a big "TheKilo" fan. Just to ensure he knows how cool being a die hard Yankee fan is, we officially inducted him as a member of the Die Hard Yankee Fan Club and we are sending him his membership card giving him access to an array of options including our newsletter, bumper stickers, pins, Bleacher Creature seats and a jockstrap personally autographed by Derek Jeter. Please...all of you....welcome TheKilo to the Die Hard Yankee Community!

They still play hockey?

Jacko, your positive outlook gives me indigestion.
