    You know, I hate the Yankees as much as anyone. BUT.....look at the season they had. They lost an incredible number of players-star players like Stanton, Judge, Betances, Severino etc etc-and still won 103 games. Unlike the Red Sox, who never showed up this year, they played their asses off and made a great run. They met a better team in the playoffs and couldn't get it done. While I am really happy that they will not be wearing a ring this year this year's Yankee team earned my grudging respect. Unlike this year's Red Sox team.

    To be perfectly honest, winning a ring that year was second on my all time Sox moments. First was eliminating the Yankees in the ALCS after falling behind 3 games to none.

    They aren't doing it. Houston is the better team. That said, I begrudgingly respect the way the Yankees have played hard through injuries this year, refusing to use them as an excuse. Stanton is still hurt; Severino hasn't regained his form; Betances is gone; and that idiot German, who was the best pitcher on the staff for most of the year managed to pull a Steven Wright and get himself tossed out of the playoffs. Thats a lot to swallow-too much when you are facing a team like the Astros.

    We won't be top five without Betts and JD. That was the premise.

    More brain dead baseball....all year long. This team is pretty disgusting to watch, to be honest.
  6. FredLynn
    They aren't even competitive WITH Betts and JD. Sale sucked this year and Price was a solid #4. They are not going to be relevant for a few years.
  7. FredLynn
    Its inevitable. Betts is gone unless Martinez goes; maybe both. Its going to be a tough 2-3 years. Go Patriots.

    More brain dead baseball...unbelievable. Same s*** all year long.

    Last year our top four SPs (Sale, Porcello, Price, and ERod) pitched about 654 innings. This year they pitched 624 innings. Not much difference, just 30 innings. The fact of the matter is that they simply sleepwalked through the season, mailing it in (except ERod) from day 1. Had they done the job that they are capable of doing we would be playing baseball next week.

    Blaming injuries is an excuse. Yes, we had some of them, but look at the Yankees and the injuries they had and how they coped with them. It has nothing to do with injuries. It has to do with playing brain dead baseball for much of the year and with guys mailing it in all year.

    There are always a lot of "ifs". Look at it this way: in 2018 our SPs were 4th in the AL in ERA, just .09 RPG below the third place team. And we added Eovaldi this year. The talent was there for them to do the job, but they were poorly prepared to start the season. They simply did not do the job. Their ERA was about 1.2 RPG worse than last year. IMO the only "if" is whether or not our SPs get their collective acts together, not whether or not there is enough talent to perform, Sale's injury notwithstanding. With the exception of ERod, everyone else just wasn't focused this year for whatever reason.

    Here is the link. German is done for the year. Its going to be a lot harder for the Yankees to win a ring without him. But, unfortunately, they have won all year without contributions from some pretty major players: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/27661066/sources-yanks-german-pitch-again-19

    Here is the link: https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/19/sport/domingo-german-yankees-mlb-trnd/index.html Pretty stupid......they get Severino back but lose German for .....how long? At least seven days while they investigate...could be a lot longer.

    Its worse than a meaningless win if it costs us moving up in the draft position.
  15. FredLynn
    Exactly. Its beyond me that there are actually paying fans at this game tonight. It would be so fitting if the last home game of the season got boycotted.
  16. FredLynn
    All I can say is that John Henry owes us a public apology. The product on the field tonight is an embarrassment. No hits in five innings. Just wow....

    I propose a new category of troll: the Oblivious Troll. These are trolls who do not even possess the level of introspection to realize that they are trolling. One example is Harmony, who has rarely, if ever, posted a positive comment about the Red Sox and uses every possible opportunity available to put them down. Jacko knows he is trolling IMO but does it anyway, so he is a "self-aware troll". OTs....SATs......I like it.

    Its beyond ugly. Its meaningless and irrelevant. The time for ugly was two months ago.
  19. FredLynn
    Thats what makes this season so (and I will be nice)....disappointing. It IS a good team. They just didn't bother to show up this year. Its a team that should have made the playoffs.
  20. FredLynn
    Brasier was a flash in the pan.
  21. FredLynn
    Not good at all....three runs in less than five innings. If carried out over 9 innings its an ERA of over 6. Nothing to be happy about. An example of why this team sucks this year.
  22. FredLynn
    They have been mailing it in ALL YEAR. Did anyone expect it to be different in September??
  23. FredLynn
    I heard he already has an offer on the table, actually. Selling cars with Daniel Bard.
  24. FredLynn
    Its Saltalamacchia....he needs to be fired along with Levangie. How can you keep Levangie?
  25. FredLynn
    Who is this other announcer with OB? He is awful. Worse than listening to the paint dry.
