That's because I am biding my time. Plus, my team has sucked recently.

Less than the 103 million you paid for Matsuzaka. Wang, Clemens, Pettitte, Mussina, Hughes... I guess George figured that instead of getting a good manager, he would change his roster and give the manager the five solid starters that make him a manager of the year candidate, lol. Maybe the Red Sox still have a shot at the wild card...

Can a mod merge these two threads? Better to have this conversation in just one thread, don't you think? He just said he hope to be ready by the end of May, and at the latest June 1st. I love how everyone in Boston is crazy over Matsuzaka and his 5.45 ERA, and they are all over Clemens buying a ring. As if the Sox tried to do anything different this offseason. Keep first place warm for us, Red Sox. We'll be taking it back sooner than you think.

I wonder which one of us got to this first, lol. Finally some good news. When healthy.... Wang, Clemens, Pettitte, Mussina, Hughes.... Priceless.

Roger Clemens just made an announcement at Yankee Stadium. He is coming back to the Bronx.

If all are healthy, including Lester, I wouldn't. Not for this season. Down the road, definitely. Not for this year though.

Absolutely if she was hot. You telling me you wouldn't go out with Jessica Alba is she was a Yankee fan? More realistically, if the girl was hot, you are saying you wouldn't date her if she was a Yankee fan? I mean, from my perspective, I would only be doing to her what my team has been doing to yours for the better part of a century... :thumbsup:

Igawa jumps back in the rotation, Mussina is back in too, so with Pettitte that's three. I have no idea who the other two will be.

Oakland seems to do well against our closers, huh?

Might as well make my reputation as negative as it can be. I'm the only one here from the other side who doesn't buy into the hype from either side. I wonder how many people will give me a negative due to the fact that I think Pedroia is not a true major league talent, let alone will never be an All-Star.

I wonder if she is hot?

He is VASTLY overrated. He is pretty much here to stay, Pavano is no longer an option for the Yankees. He tweaked his calf or hamstring, no big deal. All in all, a phenomenal pitching performance...but it is just one game. I hope he turns out to be something great, but I will reserve judgement until I see how he handles a late season start with first place on the line against the Red Sox. On another note, I had to turn off the radio going home tonight. The sports talk shows have all but given the rookie of the year and cy young awards already locked up for Phil Hughes. Nothing like buying into the hype. It's almost as bad as being in Boston.

Exactly.

You don't watch our team like we do. First of all, give me their team over the last 11 years and I would have probably won 4 championships myself. My knock on Torre, and always has been, his mismanagement of the bullpen. It's one thing if you are losing, or in a tied game. However, he takes his starting pitchers out when they have a 3 run lead in the sixth inning. It is precisely those games that costs the Yankees the tight games. For example: Matsuzaka has not been good against the Yankees. He has just pitched better than his Yankee counterparts. As long as he had a lead, Francona kept him in, saved his bullpen for the next day. If Torre had a 5-2 lead in the 6th with Pettitte on the hill against Matsuzaka, he takes him out and brings in the bullpen. Roles reversed, Francona keeps Matsuzaka in. How hard is it to manage when you had Mendoza, followed by Stanton and Nelson, and then Rivera to shut the door, all in their prime years? The Yankees of the late nineties didn't need a manager, they needed a scorekeeper. Torre hasn't realized one thing in ALL the years of managing. Your bullpen is most effective if it stays in the bullpen.

From your mouth to God's ears.

No venom, lol. I miss out on a lot of the banter due to the fact that I choose to watch the game live AND not near a computer. The first 4 innings I had to watch on gamecast yesterday. My team sucks right now. Big time. Yes. Broadcast booth.

The problem is that Torre burns his pen in wins, leaving him a depleted pen in the games he needs them. Torre is completely clueless. This team has gotten too complacent. We really needed Pinella, but Girardi would be the man.

Nah, I have a life dude. Which is why you RARELY see me during the game. I like to go to the games, or watch them with friends. Try it some time, it might be a fun concept. Anyways, we suck. I haven't seen a Yankee team play this bad since 1992.

We suck. No ifs ands or buts about it. The only good about it is that at least it looks like Torre is gone. Thank goodness.
