2006 New York Yankees Thread

[askewcore]

It's early, but the Knicks suck and I dont watch hockey. (Plus, there's already an Indians thread) Pitchers and Catchers are right around the corner. I'm starting to get excited for the season, but I really dont like some of the moves they made this offseason. But I'm sure there will be bitching a PLENTY as this thread goes through the season.



Go Yanks.....I still dont like Johnny Damon.

[Schnit Dick]

I dont like him either...and i was wondering recently when this thread would pop up

[EveryoneHasAIDS]

You're both fucking nuts! Johny Damon was the best move they made this off-season. Not only is he a true lead off hitter (walks a lot, goes deep in the count, etc.) which the Yanks have lacked for as long as I can remember, they screwed Boston by making this move. Terrific!

They also now have a ridiculously strong bullpen, they have 3 legit closers so any lead after the 6th inning should be safe.

They didn't need shit offensively, besides a centerfielder, so I'm happy there.

The one concern, they neglected to go after any starting pitchers. They have tons of em, but mostly injury prone old men. I guess they figured loading up the bullpen would be the answer. Whatever. I am pumped for yet another AL East championship.

[Arch Stanton]

AL championship is good, I want the big show

[EveryoneHasAIDS]

AL championship is good, I want the big show

Obviuosly, but I'm not worried about the playoffs yet, regular season comes first.

[rustytrombone1]

Pitching, pitching, pitching fellas. They, like last year, can score 20 runs a game, but if the pitching staff gives up 21, you don't win. Last year's signings (Pavano, Wright, Johnson) did not deliver on the hype (and I don't care that Johnson won 17 last year, he didn' win consistently when they needed him to step up). There is no way anyone can expect Wang, Chacon, and Small to perform like last year--you cannot count on it. They made moves in the bullpen and the jury's out on that--Can hope Farnsworth works out, Dotel's a huge question mark given the TJ surgery, and Mike Myers was not wonderful last year, just average.
I am not a fan of Damon. Too much money, not enough in return. The Yankees needed to get younger, not older. I hope the folks above are right in their assessment of Damon & I'm wrong.

Nonetheless, Spring Training reporting starts today. That means it's going to get warm soon. Hopefully the pitching issues will be righted and the Yanks will kick ass again and make the Sawks fans miserable again. The only Sawks fan I care for is one that's whining in their misery.

I didnt say I didnt like the move. But I really dont like his contract, wayyyy too long term. I just HATE Johnny Damon and the fact that he's on my team now. Personally I would have rather seen a platoon between Bernie and Bubba in CF and then went balls out after Andruw Jones next year. But thats just my hairbrain idea.

They also now have a ridiculously strong bullpen, they have 3 legit closers so any lead after the 6th inning should be safe.

Farnsworth is CERTAINLY not a legit closer. He's a decent pitcher, but he has control issues. Last year was his first good season really and he converted 16 of 18 save chances, but only went 6 of 8 in the AL. Thats really not too good. And Dotel has had nothing but trouble since he's come to the AL. He's 29 of 39 at save chances since leaving his set-up job in Houston. He only played in 17 games last season before he got hurt and he blew four saves. He's still a huge question mark, essentially they let Gordon go and really got no one to replace him. %

Wang and Chacon will be #3 and #4 starters at best and Small's in the bullpen, so not too worried about that.

Farnsworth, Dotel, Myers - all set up men now, no pressure, again, not too worried. Even if they don't have stellar years, that's a damn good set-up combo.

Damon was expensive, but he'll be worth every penny b/c him coming to the Yankees fucked Boston, hard! He's a great leadoff hitter, you'll see.

The new Sawks curse has already begun.

Farnsworth-22 out of 28 is not bad at all for a first time closer, sir.

The point is, these guys have been used as closers and now they will be in a set up role where they are comfortable.

You're way off about not replacing Gordon with anyone, they replaced him with 3 established set up pitchers.

If you'd rather have Bernie (who's well past his prime) and Bubba (who I love, but he's not ready yet) over Johny Damon, you're insane!

[askewcore]

22 out of 28 isnt very bad, but thats also not Farnsworth's numbers. He was 10 of 10 in Atlanta, which, obviously is good but the NL is much easier to get through one inning than the AL. He was 6 of 8 in the AL.

Dotel,Farnsworth,Myers and Villone will not come close to being as consistent a setup man as Gordon has been the last couple years.

And I'd rather have Bernie/Bubba platoon for ONE year and then Andruw Jones for the next 7-10 then have aging Johnny Damon play one or two good years then watch him rot in Yankee Stadium for the next three.

[EveryoneHasAIDS]

I believe this is the 2006 Yankee thread, not the 2010 thread. (I'm just busting balls by the way)

It's just good to be talking baseball again.

[Abysmul]

The only thing I don't like about Damon is his weak-ass throwing arm, much worse than Bernie's. But I do love the fact that we got him, especially for the fact that I live near Boston, and I already ordered my JD Jersey......FUCK YOU BOSTON!

[Jimmy's Dignity]

the Knicks suck [Sgt. Hartman]Well, no shit![/Sgt. Hartman]
]...and I don't watch hockey.you're missin out...the Rangers are kicking some serious fucking ass:clap: :clap: :clap:

and I completely agree...I don't like Damon for 4 years at $56....he'll be, what, 38 at the end of the contract? Should have platooned Bernie and Bubba and then signed Torii Hunter or someone else next year

[Halo Five]

and I completely agree...I don't like Damon for 4 years at $56....he'll be, what, 38 at the end of the contract? Should have platooned Bernie and Bubba and then signed Torii Hunter or someone else next year

Damon will only be 36 at the end of his contract and even though he has a limp noodle for an arm in CF, he brings a lot to the table as a lead off hitter with a career OBP% of .353 and career BA of .290.

Granted I wanted to fucking murder him during game 7 of the 2004 ALCS in the age of free-agency you really cant hate someone forever... even if they are a former Red Sox.

The strength of his arm is definitely questionable at best -- but at least he'll be able to chase down a fly ball and make the catch as opposed to gimping towards it as it rolls to the wall.

It's 3:48 in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Boston still sucks!!

[Perch1019]

Alright! The yanks thread is open. Good to see everyone again. Anyone else laugh their asses off when it turned out that Neo Is God, one of the guys we bashed in here last season, turned out to be the American Mess guy? I was hoping Mother Shucker had something wrong with him as well but i guess hes just a dope.

I didnt say I didnt like the move. But I really dont like his contract, wayyyy too long term. I just HATE Johnny Damon and the fact that he's on my team now. Personally I would have rather seen a platoon between Bernie and Bubba in CF and then went balls out after Andruw Jones next year. But thats just my hairbrain idea.



If Damon was on any other team than Boston and the yanks signed him, I would be pissed off other than being really annoyed. Fucking them and their fans over is what made this stomachable for me. I dont think hes a bad player but its another over paid guy on the team, another excuse for the payroll arguement and another aging player. The Andrew Jones idea is the one I would go for and maybe next season when they can finally get rid of the malcontent in Right Field, they can move Damon over and put Jones in center.
Someone said he walks alot and goes deep in the count. Havent the yanks been doing that the entire Torre run in NY?

I hate to say it but Im not as excited as I usually am for the season to start. Im glad Ill have something to watch on TV all week when nothing else is on but this team is just like last years with the big salaries, the huge payroll and the media scrutiny. I hate that the only way the season can be a sucess is if they win the whole thing. Its annoying that when they have a great comeback season like last year, fight all the way to the end and make it to the playoffs that everyone and their mothers say it was a lost season because they didnt win the title. Some of my best friends are met fans and just breaking .500 is a sucess to them. Dont get me wrong, I love to win but I would also like to be able to say they had a good year without the ring.
They also did nothing to help the starting pitching because they have so many fucking guys to begin with. Johnson is johnson. He can say he feels however great but we know come June somethings gonna go wrong. Moose is another year older. Everyone else as much as I would like to believe they are, are not really proven.

Im sure despite all this, Ill be ready to go in April and Ill be posting like a maniac again.

[Abysmul]

i'm surer you'll be ready to go in April Perch, just like the rest of us.....
GO YANKS!!!!

[BeltOfScotch]

If I were a Red Sox fan, I'd be happier to have a young Coco Crisp in CF and seeing the Yankees pay Damon $50+ million over the next four years then if the Sox kept Damon and the Yankees went out and got Torii Hunter or Andruw Jones next year.

And while the team did need a CF and Damon is a nice upgrade there, they DID NOT NEED A LEADOFF HITTER. Jeter has significantly better career numbers in on base percentage then Damon, and last year he saw more pitches as well. I also read an article this week by Tom Verducci which made a brilliant point about the current state of the Yankees order. Late in games, the order is going to be as follows (I'm guessing on how the middle of the order is going to go).

9th Cano - lefty
1st Damon - lefty
2nd Jeter - righty
3rd Sheffield - righty
4th Arod - righty

This is tailor made for bullpen specialists, bring in a lefty to face Cano and Damon, then switch to a righty for the Jeter, Sheffield and Arod. Make one small switch with Jeter and Damon and you've got

9th Cano - lefty
1st Jeter - righty
2nd Damon - lefty
3rd Sheffield - righty
4th Arod - righty

This makes it much harder for opposing managers to get good bullpen matchups, and Jeter by the numbers is a better leadoff hitter anyway. It will never happen, but all this talk about the Yankees desperately needing a leadoff hitter just isn't right.

My tickets for opening day in Oakland came yesterday..games 1 and 3, hoping the boss hook's up game 2..

[rustytrombone1]

From the NY Post:

Prior to the first vial of blood being drawn or groin stretched, Carl Pavano is behind schedule because of a balky back that may not be ready by Opening Day. Slated to throw off a mound yesterday for the first time since a minor-league rehab game last summer, Pavano didn't make it to the hill because back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins suggested Pavano not throw until March 1.

[Abysmul]

Fuck Pavano, fuck him in his fucking ass!
cut his fucking contract and be done with him, please!

[askewcore]

[BaddBoi4Lyfe]

as a red sox fan i fail to see how losing johnny damon fucked the red sox.

they got a younger player, whose numbers were almost better than damons last year, and is not making close the money damon is.

i knew this thread was coming -

i cannot wait for the season to start

[FreeTheCricket]

It's early, but the Knicks suck and I dont watch hockey. (Plus, there's already an Indians thread)

I'm with you on the CF position. I'm still on the fence when it comes to Johnny Damon, would have preferd to see Bubba Crosby get a chance. Especially after hearing Cashman saying that the Yankees needed to get younger, atheltic, amd more cost effective. So we shall see. Other than that can't wait for the season to start.

[Cybouncer]

Two years ago, people said the Yanks were going all the way when they signed AROD.

Last year, people said the Yanks were going all the way when they signed The Big Unit.

This year, people are saying the Yanks are going all the way because they signed Damon.

When will the Yankee's get it? It isn't about bringing in high paid talent, it's about building a team of home grown talent. A team that works well together.

The Yankee team of the 90's was the BEST team of all time. Almost EVERY one of those players were Yankee's to the bone. Not a bunch of "Misfits" from other teams that were brought in for big $$.

The Yankee's will dissapoint everyone again this season and there will be a lot of finger pointing etc. Next winter, they will sign another Big name for Big $$ and the sega will continue...

[askewcore]

If you're gonna continue posting here, know this, this argument was brought up no less than 17,000 times last season, so it's not gonna start a fight anymore because we're all bored with. All you faggotty "Yankee Haters" really need to come up with something new, because this is just old.

The Yankee team of the 90's was the BEST team of all time.

However, this statement proves that you're either retarded, twelve years old, or just have no fucking clue what you're talking about. The 27-28 Yanks are legendary the 36,37,38,39 Yanks were dominate and the 50,51,52,53 Yanks won the World Series four years in a row and were involved in every world series but one ('55) from 1950-1958, they won six out of the eight, they made eight our of nine World Series in a row... So I think those guys might have a little something to say about who was the best team ever.

[Perch1019]

For me, the 98 team was the best. Something about that team just made it so easy to root for them.

[askewcore]

For me, the 98 team was the best. Something about that team just made it so easy to root for them.

Was it winning 114 games that made it easy? :action-sm

I agree with you that the '98 team was the best of our lifetime, but to try and compare them to the oldern days teams is silly. Just for a little quick comparison...

98 CF: Bernie- 51: Joe D
98 RF: O'Neill- 51: Mickey
98 C: Posada- 51: Yogi
98 SS: Jeter- 51: Phil Rizzuto.

[joefrombklyn]

all i know is that the yankees have all the potential this year .they have an all-star at every position ,and its the beginning of the season so they dont have to play catch up. maybe the pitching can use a tweaking but then again noone has a solid pitching staff. but i agree u cant compare them to the yanks of the 90's.

You're right. It is the SAME thing that has been said year in and year out. It is becoming old hat, I agree 100%.

So I think those guys might have a little something to say about who was the best team ever.

You can't compare the teams form the 20's, 30's or 50's to the teams of today.

I know, the 27' Yankee's had Ruth and Gehrig. Both are legands of the game and will forever be remembered as 2 of the best. I am talking about the team as a whole though. The 1998 Yankee's had Bernie Williams who won the batting title, (I believe he hit around .339). Derek Jeter who hit .324 and led the league with 127 runs scored, not to mention the acrobatics on defense. Tino Martinez who drove in 123 runs and Paul O'Neill who drove in 116 runs. As far as pitching goes, they had Cone and Wells. Cone was 20-7 while Wells went 18-4 INCLUDING a perfect game. The had an excellent bullpen with the best closer in the game, Mariano who saved 36 games.

Could you compare the 62' Packers with say the 85' Bears, or even the 05' Steelers (no I'm not a Steeler fan)? I don't think so because the game has grown. Just like the game of Baseball has grown. There will be a team in 10 years that will be "Better" than the 98' Yankees, the 01' Mariners, and the 05' Whitesox.

Relax on the whole insult thing, there is not need. I am not a Yankee fan, but I respect what they do and have done.

how do u guys feel damon will be greeted opening day at the stadium?

[Cybouncer]

It'll be mixed. Some people are real happy he is here, others think it's a waste of money.

[rustytrombone1]

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- New York Yankees starter Carl Pavano's sore back could land him on the disabled list to start the season.

"I'm not banking on him Opening Day," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "There's no rush even right there to have him ready opening day. The thing I think is important is he probably feels better than he did anytime last year."

Pavano missed the second half of last season because of a shoulder injury and finished 4-6 with a 4.77 ERA in 17 starts. His back has bothered him since spring training last year.

"It's progressing," Pavano said. "It feels a lot better. I want to make sure there's no setbacks after what I went through last year."

Right fielder Gary Sheffield is also having back problems. He didn't work out Sunday because of back spasms.

Sheffield is not expected to miss more than a couple days. The back flared up after he took extra batting practice on Saturday.

"I took more swings than usual," Sheffield said. "I've had this before. This is what you get when you over do it too early. It's just real tight. It will be fine."

Likely opening day starter Randy Johnson threw 68 pitches in his second batting practice session, breaking the bat of new center fielder Johnny Damon.

"I'm throwing everything that I throw right now," Johnson said. "The more I throw it, the more effective it will be. I feel like I'm in pretty good shape."

Johnson could make his spring training debut Friday or Saturday.

Torre has been impressed with left-hander Al Leiter, who opted not to retire during the offseason and is in camp as a non-roster player.

"What I've seen so far, I like him," Torre said. "When you look at it, there's no room. But if somebody makes a case, you've got to figure something out. That's the way I look at it."

Thats awesome. Give us 'Baggers an update on Philp Hughes if you see him throw. I've read/heard some really good things about him, we might actually have a teenage pitching prospect. I'm sure we'll trade him for Fernando Valenzeula by the year's end though...

[EveryoneHasAIDS]

maybe next season when they can finally get rid of the malcontent in Right Field

The malcontent in right field's '05 numbers:

104R, 34HR, 123RBI, 10SB .291AVG, .379OBP

He can play wherever the fuck he wants for me.

[askewcore]

He can play wherever the fuck he wants for me.

You can say that again. It sucks that he probably really only has two more years in him.

Slow down, they where a lot of fun to watch, but you figure with so many more teams then the early years and pitching being deluted, you can't compare the team that won 5 world series in a row to the 98 team.

That not withstanding, if he dies in a hotel fire, I wont care. Then we can void his contract and get Andruw Jones next year like we should have anyway...

Personally, I'm gonna be sitting on my hands opening day when he comes up.

I love Roger Clemens
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2346877
Koby Clemens takes Dad Deep, then gets Buzzed
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- Roger Clemens' son took dad deep on the Rocket's first pitch of spring training, crushing a trademark fastball over the left-field fence Monday.

"That was probably one of the harder fastballs I cut loose," Roger Clemens said after throwing to Koby and other Houston Astros minor-leaguers. "He got my attention."

Then the Rocket got Koby's. The next time his oldest son came to the plate, Roger buzzed him high and tight with another fastball. The younger Clemens dodged the pitch and then smiled at his father.

"He was like, 'Sorry about that pitch inside. I was trying to change the view of the ball for you a little bit,'" said Koby, a third baseman who was drafted by Houston last summer. "I said, 'I knew what you were doing.'"

[askewcore]

That article also says that the Yanks are one of the teams interested in signing him because he can't re-sign with Houston till May 1 and Roger hasn't decided whether he was gonna retire or not.

Thats awesome. Give us 'Baggers an update on Philp Hughes if you see him throw. I've read/heard some really good things about him, we might actually have a teenage pitching prospect. I'm sure we'll trade him for Fernando Valenzeula by the year's end though...

lol... I am going to 3 games, so I hope i see him. I will have a full report!

how do u guys feel damon will be greeted opening day at the stadium?

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[prozac]

I love my Yankees and had a problem with Damon at first but this is what the Yankees do. I wish they would keep home grown talent but what the fuck can we do? THe Yankees I love and at time hate for what they do but I'm stuck as a fan and look forward to the 06 season.

I'm still annoyed over 2001 game 7 loss. Alot of question marks this year, with Old man Johnson and Pussy Pavano.

[Cybouncer]

...you son of a bitch. :action-sm


:icon_lol:

[Cybouncer]

Slow down, they where a lot of fun to watch, but you figure with so many more teams then the early years and pitching being deluted, you can't compare the team that won 5 world series in a row to the 98 team.


You're right.

Should have said One of the Best...

[batman]

as a red sox fan i fail to see how losing johnny damon fucked the red sox.

they got a younger player, whose numbers were almost better than damons last year, and is not making close the money damon is.

It is indeed untrue that the yankees fucked boston. They saved so much money by not resigning Damon and they have a fine replacement in Coco Crisp. However, the deal for crisp was definately not great for the red sox as they gave up a lot to get him.

But Boston was anything but fucked by loosing Damon.

[prozac]

I have to say, as a Yankee fan, I would have enjoyed seeing Coco Crisp patrol the outfield for the Yanks.

First of all, loose and lose are not the same word.

Second, are you telling me you'd rather have Coco Crisp over Johny Damon right now? F'ing ponderous!

Third, losing one of the most consistent leadoff hitters in the game does fuck you.

The malcontent in right field's '05 numbers:

He can play wherever the fuck he wants for me.

I never argued that he doesnt put up numbers but Im sick of hearing him bitch about everything. To go off about his contract last week was nauseating.

Im sorry but I guess I was spoiled with the teams of the late 90s and 2000 where you had all these likeable guys who shut up and played like a team. If there was a problem, they took care of it internally and not with the media.

Fourth, he was one of the leader of the teams morale. It'll be interesting to see if that effects the already turbulent Boston clubhouse.

That clubhouse is VERY different this year though.

We'll see who steps up.

I will be curious to see how he fits into the Yankee Clubhouse. I don't see Steinney taking a liking to the Johnny Damon antics that he pulled and got away with in Boston & Oakland.

[askewcore]

Yeah, but I'm sure he understands how different the two organizations are. Plus, every player I've heard talk about playing with him has really sung his praises and Giambi was real excited to him here. Plus, Steinbrenner loves the fuck so he'll probably give him a long leash.

Any clubhouse with Manny is gonna be a clubhouse with drama.

[Cybouncer]

That's the mother fucker they should have let go.

A lot of Red Sox fans would have you think they are not that upset that he is gone. I'm NOT one of those fans. I loved watching the guy play and it's going to kill me seeing him on TV every other day wearing the Pinstipes.

Manny had a terrible 2/3 of the season last year. He only woke up because he wanted to keep his trade value high. Unfortunatly for him, nobody was interested so he is back there this year. I forsee him being a miserable fuck and he probably won't snap out of his funk because he won't have jokesters like Damon running around the clubhouse.

i agree al leiter should retire before he becomes another john franco... but i gotta admit al leiter helped the yankees out of a few jams last season he didnt seem rattled or intimidated by some of the big sluggers he faced, but its about time he retires.. he is a pretty good commentator he called a few games last year before he got picked up from the yankees.

[EveryoneHasAIDS]

Great pics Cap'n! I find it amazing that they pretty much sell out a 10,000 seat stadium for pre-season games.

I've been hearing that Giambi has been getting an overwhelming amount of support. I'm glad to hear it because it really bothered me to hear him get booed at the beginning of last year. Shit, people were booing Jeter because of his slow start. Now that pissed me off. I sat that clapping and turned around to stare at these fucking retards. The guy does nothing but produce and win championships for a decade and he has one bad start to a season and gets booed. I understand why poeple hate Yankee fans sometimes.

[askewcore]

Shit, people were booing Jeter because of his slow start.

Those people are almost all bandwagon fans, they have no real loyalty to the team, they just like going to the games and getting drunk with their friends. Anyone who would claim to be a Yankee fan and then boo Jeter or Mo is just an ass. As soon as this team starts to lose again, which is bound to happen all the bandwagon fans will jump off and we'll start selling 18-20,000 seats a game like they did in the 80s.

I understand why poeple hate Yankee fans sometimes.

I hate bandwagon Yankee fans all the time. They give us a bad name, because they're also the biggest loudmouths of the bunch, and they're the asses who's only argument against anti-Yankee people is, "26 World Championships". Blech.

[FullBallz]

Hey baggers, if this isn't allowed or anything let me know. I'm goin out to Oakland for the opening series but one of my friends can't make it. I have an extra ticket for opening day (4/3) and the game the day after (4/4). I'm just looking to get rid of these for face value. They're $50 each Opening day's ticket are in the West Side Club and you get a free meal with the ticket. The game the next day is 3rd row right next to the A's dugout! Sweet seats. If you're either going to, live in CA, or know any A's fans who might want these let me know by PM or reply to this post.

[askewcore]

You might wanna put that post over in the Angels thread too, I dont think their is an A's thread yet, but you'd probably get more takers over in one of the Cali thread. Its a good offer though.

[rustytrombone1]

Jaret Wright's back spasms have not eliminated him from contention for a Yankees rotation spot -- which is important, because Carl Pavano's return has been delayed two weeks. Wright, whose back tightened up Sunday, could be back on a mound by Thursday. Joe Torre said that the team no longer is eyeing April 15 for Pavano's activation from the disabled list.

You opt for these two clowns and not make a play on Mulder or Hudson. Both guys were marginally acceptable last year. This winter you do nothing, absolutely nothing, to stabilize the starting pitching. How can you expect Small, Chacon, and Wang to repeat the career years they had last year? Breaking news: They won't. Brilliant. Bring back Stick and Bob Watson. Take your lame moves elsewhere.

This is the only ray of hope coming out of spring training so far:

Leiter retires, ending 19-year career

Al Leiter got one last out, then called it a career.

The New York Yankees' left-hander retired Sunday after pitching to one batter in a 2-0 win over the Cleveland Indians.

Time was called after Eduardo Perez grounded out, and Leiter handed the ball to Yankees pitching coach Ron Guidry. Alex Rodriguez patted Leiter on the head and he began a slow, teary walk off the field for the final time.

He sat in New York's dugout until the Yankees turned an inning-ending double play, then got hugs and warm wishes from his teammates.

"It feels good to be able to go out on your own terms,'' Leiter said in Tampa, Fla. "I love the game very much, but when you were a certain type of player for a few years, being a front-end starter, that's the way I still think I can pitch. But the body tells you no.

"It feels right. Family, kids, I'm constantly being asked when I'm coming home.''

Leiter and several Yankees had just returned from the World Baseball Classic, and New York had most of its stars for the first time since the exhibition opener.

Leiter, a 40-year-old left-hander with two World Series rings, had hinted about calling it a career for some time. Perez, the son of Hall of Famer Tony Perez, was thrilled to be a small part of his retirement.

"We go way back and it was an honor to be his last hitter,'' Perez said. "He's a class act. The competitor, the cutter, the never-say-die attitude. That's been Al Leiter.''

Earlier, Leiter, a two-time All-Star who pitched a no-hitter in 1996, soaked in his last day in uniform as a major leaguer. He posed for photos with Yankees manager Joe Torre and spent about 15 minutes chatting with New York general manager Brian Cashman.

Not only was it a Yankees win but it was also a great game, at least for the first 5-6 innings while the regulars were in. Really is great to have live baseball back

Here we go guys. Opening day is right around the corner, and i can't wait. It's been a long winter. I will be going down to the game on thurs 4/13 against KC. If anyone else is going to the game that day maybe we can have a little Wackbag/Yankee get together over at " Stan's Sports Bar", under the El-train. Let me know. GO YANKEES.

[Chief79]

as a red sox fan i fail to see how losing johnny damon fucked the red sox.

It's not always about the numbers my friend. There is nothing in the stat book that measures team leadership. I find it hard to believe that Coco will be getting as much respect from his team mates as JD got. Plus the fact that Mr. Damon had "Rock Star" status with the Sox fans. But now "He's over here now". You can try and justify how getting Coco is a great move. Yankee fans know how much it is killing you Sox fans that JD is now part of the Evil Empire, and we love it.

[rustytrombone1]

I'm starting to notice a theme in my posts in this thread. I believe it can be aptly titled "I really fucking hate the pussies the Yankees have on their staff"....Here's an update:

The Yankees also shut down right-hander Carl Pavano, who already had been scheduled to begin the season on the disabled list because of a back injury.
Douchebag

Mussina has a weak outing for his last start...walks out of spring training with crappy statistics...and comments that he was 'happy to leave the last game without getting hurt'....Fantastic accomplishment. Aim high buddy.

Jaret Wright...in the bull pen? A lot of money to be paying for that bullshit.

Let's hope the Yanks can score 20 runs a game with these savvy competitors pitching for us.

I'm off to kick a dog....

You need to direct that to the Pitching staff, the rest of the team doesn't seem to have a problem playing thru an injury or two.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

yeah, this pitching staff is a load of sour pussy

did you guys at least see how Pavano "re-injured" himself? He tripped over his fuckin clown-feet and fell on his face. Carl-Palooza sucked...hopefully he'll manage to make it through the season / at least be a good pitcher

and i turns out, i am excited for the season to begin. I opened my closet and the first thing I pulled out this morning was my Tino jersey. They might not be the yanks of the past but they are still the yanks and I want #27. LETS GO YANKEES!

[Perch1019]

How does every one feel about the Wagner comming out to Sandman thing? I dont agree with that pompous fat ass Francesa that everyone knows that Mo;s thing but I think Wagner should have shown some respect and come out to a different song.
Call it some ego-tistic yankee thing but Mo is the greatest closer the game has ever seen. If Wagner can come out and win 3 straight rings while totally dominating the opposition in the process, he can come out to the song. Until then, show some fucking respect.

[askewcore]

I agree, it's not a big deal until he's in the same city. Now that he's in the biggest city in the world, you cant use the same walkout music as the best reliever ever, who just happens to play in said city. If he's a big Metallica fan like I heard, he could come out to Seek and Destroy, or if he was a man, Whiplash. I dont really care, I just think it's pretty lame.

[Abysmul]

i dunno, its not a problem unless they're on the same team.... who cares if its the same city??? usually mets fans arent yanks fans, so who gives a big fat fuck?

[MJMANDALAY]

Fuck the mets their plane should crash and burn.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

askew, you're right as hell right there....same city, different song. Is it a big deal? Not at all...but it'd be a decent idea to change...Seek and Destroy would be a really good song for a closer

[Perch1019]

Im hoping Harden has a good season but i would prefer he waits until the 2nd or 3rd start to get there.
Damon steps in. LETS GO YANKEES!

[askewcore]

Anyone else watching this game? Been a good one. Hopefully we can pull it out in the next inning or two.

Edit: That jizzbag Michael Kay just said, "Johnny Damon SOX one into right field!"

[MHasegawa]

[Perch1019]

[MHasegawa]

is this on?

[TheICON]

So what if he uses Enter Sandman? I'm pretty sure there was someone on the Mets that used Enter Sandman before he came out to pitch.. or if he came to bat, I forget who. It just seems like there's not enough drama going on, and they want to enhance it somehow. Let the guys play, and forget the stupid childish drama.

[LilJimmyRbinson]

Why the fuck would Torre take Farnsworth out to put in Proctor who's head clearly wasn't in Oakland, it was back in FL with his newborn who just had surgery?

I can't go through another season of Joe giving games away like this. If they win more early games, then they won't have to burn out the good relievers in August & September trying to make the playoffs.

[Perch1019]

Fucking Godzilla is starting the season on a tear.

BTW: The Mets and their fans just learned there is only one Sandman in NY. Then they found out how much fun it is to have Jorge Julio on their team. 6ERs in 2/3s and inning.

[askewcore]

Godzilla really is scalding the ball so far. The Mets fans know deep down there is only one Sandman, and anyone who ever tries to compare Billy Wagner to Mo in anything other then that they walk to the mound to the same music should be crucified and thrown out of an airplane.

Our pitchers love squandering the lead right after a big inning. Granted, Jeet should have turned that double play but Wang still has to pitch himself out of it.

[mikewow]

this is going to be another tough loss. i know its only the 3rd game of the year. but a 4 run lead. again i thought with damon we would play a little small ball but that doesnt seem to b the case. we can depend on the homerun all fucking year. arod again 0-1 with a man on 2nd in the 8th, the trend keeps going on and on . . .

[RobeSoup&Tears]

Why do I continue to lose sleep over these westcoast night games...win or lose

[mikewow]

i agree.. the game has just gotten out of control. 9 runs and counting. lets see how we can fucking do against the angels. thats one series lost.

[mikewow]

they score 9 runs (yes 6 of them unearned) with ZERO HOME RUNS. we score 4 runs ALL ON THE HOMERUN. can we please stop depending on the fucking homerun?

[RobeSoup&Tears]

they score 9 runs (yes 6 of them unearned) with ZERO HOME RUNS. we score 4 runs ALL ON THE HOMERUN. can we please stop depending on the fucking homerun?

Yep...notice how Jason's back leg gives in a little causing him to have an uppercut swing. Micheal Kay mentioned this yesterday and i though it was interesting.

[HockeyHelmet]

Our pitching stinks.

[Perch1019]

I hope I wasnt the only one screaming at the television when I saw that they brought Jaret Wright into the game.
And we're paying Damon 12 million a year so he can make catches like that? Bernie could have been doing the same for alot less!

[HockeyHelmet]

Actually I was ok after the first inning, wanted to see how he did. Wasn't too impressed with the way he threw, when they brought him in for the 2nd inning is when I lost it. We go back to the good ol days and we win the game 4-2, bullpen comes in and completely shuts the game down...........now, bullpen comes in and just see's how big of a lead we can give the other team.

I love how they start out on the west coast. That's one less flight out in the middle of the season. They're not gonna play a cold NY night game until April 21. That's good news for such an old team.

[FreeTheCricket]

Same to you, sweetie. :action-sm

Uhhh... Why you responding for me??? Weirdo. :icon_roll



Anyway... Yankees still suck.

[Perch1019]

Last nights defense was sickening to me. I know its only 3 games in but shit like that leads to the little runs the help you squeek by teams. I still cant get over Damons lame ass attempt at that. And as much as it hurts me to get on Matsui, he should have caught that one in the 8th as well.

[askewcore]

Right on all accounts. Damon ABSOLUTLEY should have made that catch. Fuck that cocksucker. I SO dont want him here.

[Cybouncer]

To start talking shit about the Yanks at this point is just plain fucking stupid.

Askew, how many games back were the Yankees in June last season?

Any shit talking should wait until August...

[askewcore]

I'm talking shit fella. Our pitching truly does stink and Johnny Damon should have made that catch. I havent really started talking shit about the Sox yet either, because like you said, three games in its just stupid. Unless you're Cricket who is obliged to smash the Yankees anytime he can.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Welcome back Cricket....I hate you.:action-smditto!

Honestly...if it wasn't for your politics, I'd probably loathe your existance on this planet:icon_wink

It's a pisser we've got tonight off...if my fantasy team can score points from fucking hookers, then I'm gonna win....but probably not so much :icon_sad:

[FreeTheCricket]

Awww... come on. You guys love me, admit it.

This thread would stink without me coming in here and stirring up the hornet's nest now and then. It gives you all something to rally around, cuz god knows you can't rally around the Yankoffs (call back from last year).

This is gonna be a fun season, especially around August.

Toodles!!!

agreed....but i won't get nervous until we're 10 games under .500, for quite a few years, we have started off notoriously slow....in '98, i think we went 2-6, and we ended up winning 114 games

I hate this feast or famine shit! Why can't they win 5-4? It's either 10 runs, 3 HR or 1 run 4 hits - no middle ground. God dammit is it frustrating. Same thing as last year.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Johnny Damon's first home AB with the Yanks? Scorches one down the right field line foul...then scorches a double down the left field line :clap:

and we have the first home call of "It is high....It is far...IT IS GONE!!"...and the requisite "a 3-run home run by Jason Giambi...the Giam-bino!!!"

*douchechills*

Wang is kickin ass...4 outs, 4 ground balls.

[MilitantRabbit]

I should stop listening to Yankees radio broadcasts, because, like Jimmy, I just got the douche chills when John Sterling called Jason Giambi "THE GIAM-BINO!" after a 3 run homer.

Is he, John? Is he really?
In hindsight, the Babe sucks compared realistically to modern players, but STOP WITH THE FUCKING SHTICK!!!

[MilitantRabbit]

DAMN IT! not the first.

Hats off to ye, Jimmy'sDignity.
Hermione's almost old enough if you move to England by her 16th.

WTF happened? I stop listening for an hour and they are getting beat? Fuck!

No he didnt but did anyone else hear what came out of that asses mouth for jeters hr? I would type it but there is no way when i type it, i can generate the hilarity of it comming out. Go to the yanks page and click on the video. They put his audio over it.

EDIT: Found IT!

[Skinflute]

Woo hooo Jeter! Sitting here getting pissed until that went up.

Love replays, hate working evenings.

We love the captain.

not a good start for Chacon...but a good start for the bats...walk, walk, Sheffield almost kills Bowa and then BOOM onto the netting over Monument park :clap:

Small is making good progress though right? At least we're killing the ball. Although I would like to see them win a game like 5-2 with no homers. But who am I to bitch?

[Jimmy's Dignity]

yeah, I'd like to see a couple of small ball wins...but I just don't see that happening yet. Small and whoever else is injured are throwing to batters already

and Sterling really is married to his fucking shtick. 12-5 final today against the vaunted Kansas City Royals...."Swing and a miss strike 3, ball game over. The Yankees win, thhheeee Yankees win."

admittedly you could almost tell that he didn't really want to do the line, but still went through with it.

[askewcore]

Is it just me, or are yous guys uncomfortable with this team? Our pitching is really pretty fucking piss poor. Although, maybe I'm just being a Negative Nelly.

I dont like the makeup of the team. I still boo Johnny Damon alone in my living room. It just doesnt fly with me. We hated this guy for the last 3 years. He was the posterboy for that entire team which I hated more than anythign I have ever hated in my life. Now all the sudden we're supposed to cheer because the yanks offered him more money and he came here? Im supposed to say "oh, you made a better business decision comming here so ill forget that you hit a fucking grandslam in game 7 and singlehandedly shut down the team that night". Sorry, cant do it no matter how much of a happy go lucky guy he acts around the fans and the media. Score 125, drive in a bunch, come through in clutch situations and steal 50 bases then we can start to talk.
The pitching is not strong. Moose is one bad outing away from just losing it all, Johnson can snap (literally) any minute and Chacon and Wang can go either way.
But then you see guys like Jeter and Bernie who play their hearts out and you just want them to win. I also really wanna see Matsui get himself a ring.

Oh thank God another real Yankee fan feels the same way. My friends have been giving me shit for not embracing that bag of douche. I was all for welcoming Giambi and A-Rod when we got them, but I just cant do it for Damon. Until he produces as a Yankee, I still say fuck him in his stupid ass.

You know, cause its like Demonic but his name is damon so he says Damonic.

Im not knocking Kelly Stinette. I think hes a very good back up. But for Randy Johnson to stand up and say that he wont pitch to Jorge is fucking bullshit. Jorge has been a pillar of this team for the last 10 season and Randy should repesct that and do all he can to work with him. I dont fucking care if your Randy Johnson. When you come to the Yankees, your no longer the superstar you were when you were pitching in fucking arizona. Its just the way it works around here. Love or hate Arod but he knew that and he accepted it. Bring up all his not good in clutch stuff but that guy busts his ass for one thing, to win. Randy needs to understand, your here to win for a team, not for yourself.

Argue whatever you want fellas, just as long as your team beats THE SOX. Im a homer philly fan, and I have determined that NewYork is no longer on the top of my list of sports team to hate like im supposed to. Boston has taken your spot. IM so sick of hearing about the Sox and the curse and blah blah. They fucking won the world series and the next season when they don't get there again and the "curse" is back. GO FUCK YOURSELFS! This is a city that had a great hockey team in the 70's, a great basketball team in the 80's, and a great football team in late 90's and 2000's wining many championships and they cry, "boo hoo hoo, our Sox haven't won in 3million years, POOR us!"...try being a philly fan! Haven't had a pro championship for any sport in over 30 yrs and we are suppose to feel sorry? Please oh please Yankees, beat the hell out of the Sox, then fuck their mothers. Wow, i guess it's true.....the enemy of my enemy....is my friend. FUCK THE SOX

[askewcore]

No, that 6 foot 10 inch bag of shit refuses to let him catch for him.

I dont really think that's true. I've never heard it confirmed by any other source than the Post, and any messageboard on the internet is equally as credible as the NYP. I'm not the biggest backer of Johnson in the world, but that seems ike crazy talk to me. Plus, Posada caught RJ in Spring Training and he caught him in Oakland and Randy pitched well. I think he's more comfortable throwing to Stinnett but I have doubts that he flat out refused to pitch to Jorge. Plus, I've heard Torre say it makes things easier on Posada to know he's gonna have just about every fifth day off, he is getting kinda old. It also might have to do with Posada's bonus for next year, if he starts 81 (I think) games at catcher this season we automatically owe him something like 12 million next year, but I doubt that too.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Randy Johnson is a fancy man and he only pitches to white catchers..Hey...if Randy isn't pitching to Jorge cause he's a racist...well all of a sudden I actually like that giant bag of jizz:action-sm

just moved into my own apartment - having huge problems with the internet/cable/phone people

anyway - so far so okay for the yankees

randy and moose have been good

sturze is shot

posada is hitting well

dotel can be huge



too tired, will check back asap

fuck you cabelvison

[Perch1019]

Great. We got Jaret Wright going against Santana. Why the fuck is this guy starting? Do we not have some sacrificial lamb in the minors we can throw in there insted? At least that way I wouldnt be looking at this as an automatic loss.

[joefrombklyn]

i wouldnt worry about wright for too many innings its just a matter of time before a bat or ball hits him in the head or maybe a fan will throw a battery at him this time....

[joefrombklyn]

flashback 2 games ago ... did anyone see sheffield hit that foul ball and almost rip larry bowa's head off??

[joefrombklyn]

fucken wright ... getting hit hard!! take him out ???

[rahrah]

tonight was a bad loss


hate when they get cheap hits off rivera

[askewcore]

Would have been nice if Farnsworth couldve closed out the 8th so Mo didnt have to stretch himself. Like you said, terrible loss.

[mikewow]

i dont understand this. Farnsworth walked 1 guy. let him get try and get another batter out. i didnt think we should have brough mo' in for 5 outs. i think we have to let Farnsworth try n be like gordon was for us. bad loss. anytime you face santana and have a shot of winning the game- you have to do it. at least we got some clutch base hits and not just home runs.

If Dotel can come back strong and perform like he did in Houston, he could seriously save our asses this year.

we have 3 more arms that are going to contribute. I'm not going to worry about pitching until I see what Small, Dotel, and Pavano do.

Brian Cashman is fucking brilliant. How the fuck he's gotten away with some of the moves/signings he's made AND pulls off a contract extension is stupifying. These two fucko's were possibly his worst moves.

Coming off surgery & working out of the pen. Cannot bank on a lot from him. I hope you're right.

Aaron Small had a career year last year. He had not pitched in the majors 7 years (aside from 16 innings in those 7 years) prior to last year. At the all star break last year, he was seriously thinking about hanging it up. Let's face it, the likelihood of him repeating (or coming close to) what he did last year is remote.

Until Pavano gets the sand out of his vagina, he sucks moose cock (not Mussina's). Again, I'm bashing Cashman. Pavano had to win 18 games to get to a career record that was 1 game BELOW 500 in 2004 and Cashman signs him to that ridiculous contract. Mind you, Hudson and Mulder of the A's were both traded to Atlanta & St. Louis that year. Did the Yankees try to get either one. Nope. The previous winter....the Yankees let Pettitte walk---a guy who won 21 games for them. Yes, the Yankees offered him a token contract--after he effectively signed with the Astros. Again, a Cashman fuck up (Pettitte getting hurt subsequent to the signing aside).

This is just an absolute pity. I'm really going to miss your posts. Why did you have to agree to such drastic measures to support this team?

[joefrombklyn]

well i personally dont consider pavano an arm thats a positive description to describe that lanky pussy and an arm would mean he can pitch and that my fellow bagger is something i havent seen him do.
dotel coming off surgery thats a big fucken if.. and i cant see us basing or putting our faith in him due to that reason it seems when pitchers come here to the yankees they lose that umff that they once had.
small well i dont know what to make of his performance last year it was amazing but u gotta wonder was it a fluke .. i hope and pray not.:icon_conf :icon_conf

am i the only one who feels this way??

[askewcore]

Alls I have to say about this game is....

BLECH

[HockeyHelmet]

We are not making the playoffs this year with this pitching staff. It is probably one of the worst staff's in baseball. Now in 2000, it may have been an excellent one. Not now.

[askewcore]

We just got so fucked. I dont know if anyone else is watching this, but we just had bases loaded and 2 out, jeter hit a ball up the middle, SS made the play, flipped to 2B for the force and the 2B dropped the ball, but they called Damon out anyway.

Bullhickey!

excuse my language.

[askewcore]

Great game from Moose. The team really needed a good, long start.

[Perch1019]

Thank god they won that. That call was a load of shit. Fuck people for saying the yanks got it back with Matsuis run. They could have easily put up a bunch of more runs with Shef and Arod comming up and the bases still jacked.
This 2 game schedule sucks tho. Another off day tomorrow. once baseball starts, i need this shit every day.

Heres hoping the mets will go on a skid so these fans of thiers will shut up and go back to the hole they belong in. If I have to hear one of my friends go on and on about how good David Wright is going to be, im gonna bite the bridge of his nose.

Yanks minor-league manager dies in crash (http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2415088)

The manager of the Gulf Coast Yankees, of the rookie league, Oscar Acosta and team official Humberto Trejo were killed in a car wreck yesterday. Dont know who they are, but it always sucks to lose any member of the ol' Yankee family.

Ya know, I really have nothing against the Mets, but their fans really do get annoying. I still hope they succeed because its fun having both NY teams doing well. But I also want them to implode because I wanna see their fans bitch and whine again.

And David Wright is gonna be a great player. I'm sure when we were all jerking off about Jeet the Mets fans hated it, (and probably still do) but Wright looks like the real deal. Unlike Reyes, who had twice as much hype, but is nothing but a speedster who cant stay healthy.

[rahrah]

Unlike Reyes, who had twice as much hype, but is nothing but a speedster who cant stay healthy.

He also can't take a strike

[Perch1019]

Is it just me or does it always seem like Damon is down 0-2 in ever count? He has the fucking bases loaded and he takes the first 2 pitches right down the pipe then hits a weak ball to the 2nd baseman. They were nice enough to show him hitting the grand slam in game 7 before hand. Ugh.
This also blows that the game is on this "My 9" insted of YES. I was finally looking fwd to a HD game and insted, crap.

[mr_rake]

Damn, its' going to be along season. The yanks need some starting pitching

[Perch1019]

I bet if Arod came up with the 2 on and one out in the ninth with the yanks leading 15-1 he would have hit a homerun there. Insted it was a clutch situation and he strikes out.

That pitch was outside but you cant take that in that situation.

This is VERY true!

What gets me most, is the number of Mets fans who come out of the woodwork at the beginning of the season. Many of these "Fans" were wearing Yankee gear last year.


As much as I want the Yankee's to shit the bed, it's too early too early to get too excited/worried yet...

Beat me to the punch. A-Rod is really starting to bug me with that. This being his 3rd season in pinstripes, I'm starting to really notice his lack of hitting in clutch situations. Just look at the last weekend series against Minnesota. Saturday's night's game he has a chance to give the Yanks an insurance run with a man on 3rd. He gorunds out. Next day the Yanks are up like 5-1 and he hits a two run home run in the 7th inning.

Sir, most Met fans are not jealous in any way.
My point was that it is almost impossible to have a real intelligent baseball conversation with a Yankee fan.
They know very little about their current team and throw history at you in almost every argument. Some true fans know what is going on, but most have no clue. It soumds harsh, but it's reality.

This year, it's obvious the Yanks have a great lineup again, but the the pitching just stinks. Besides Wang, Johnson & Rivera, their pitching is awful.

This year, it's obvious the Yanks have a great lineup again, but the the pitching just stinks. Besides Wang, Johnson & Rivera, their pitching is awful.


ahh..that's a pretty broad statement. How big is your sample size?? All I know is that I am a real Yankee fan and so are the vast majority of Yankee fans that I know. Of course there are some fair weather, and bandwagon fans but that is going to happen with success.


To your pitching point..Mussina is throwing great...I have confidence in Chacon, he will go out, battle and be a fine 4 or 5 starter. With this lineup he can have an era in the mid 4's and still win 15 plus.. Then there's Pavano, Wright, and Small to figure out a 5th starter. And maybe we'll bring up mister Hughes from the minors. He may be able to help us as much as Wang did last year.
and we still may get Clemens.

Bullpen- Can't really comment on it, yet. We need Small and Dotel back before we really know the state of the bullpen. But with Sturtze, farnsworth, Myers, Villone, Dotel, Small, and Rivera.. I don't know, sounds like there are a lot of good options.

Sir, most Met fans are not jealous in any way.

7cent pretty much already covered it, but thats a retardly broad statement. And if you're gonna make that statement, mine, about how Mets fans are bitter,jealous and always hype up every young player they get like crazy is completly valid. I've never brought up "26 World Championships" like that, and I dont know anyone who has.

4/23- Johnson on the mound, and it's almost game time.. how's the weather in NY? are we going to get this in?

interesting to see how Johnson bounces back, and Posada's catching him..With Shilling and Beckett starting off red hot, we need to show that our 1-2 can match..

They have pushed it back to 1:30 and they just took the tarp off.

If Big Useless has a shitty game, be sure to listen as he blames the weather conditions or the umps for starting the game.

As for the mets fans, I have some that have called and asked me how "my last place yankees" are doing. The idiotic fan thing goes both ways. Its just like if you do bring up winning those 4 out of 5 they will ask, "well how come you havent won since 2000" or "how bout those marlins".

The referance is "You are looking at things through rose colored glasses" if you think the pitching has a lot of good options.

Anyway, I'm not bashing anyone here. I'm a realist. The Mets have a legacy of high expectations and very little payoff. I never get really excited because I don't want to set myself up.

All I was saying was that the majority of Yankee fans (in my experience) can't have an intelligent, honest baseball conversation. You guys are different, I know that. I'm talking about a guy you meet in a bar.

Comparing Wright & Jeter right now can be fun if you get someone who knows baseball. Jeter has done it already, he will go to the Hall of Fame.

Wright has a lot of potential, and if he stays healthy....blah, blah, blah...

If you are starting a team today, to win today, you take Jeter.

If you want to start a team for the long term, I would take Wright.

No need to be sir. I think the records speak for them selves at this moment. Which New York team has a 6 game lead in their division already? :action-sm

I do give credit where credit is due though. The Yanks were a great team. And admitedly, they HAVE won the world series more recently than the Mets, but they haven't done shit since that year.

Do I need to remind you of the 2004 ALCS since you Yankee fans are so used to living in the past? 26 world championships means nothing in the 2006 season. So lets sit back, and enjoy the next few months. Honestly, I hope the Yanks can make it to the WOrld Series.

No offense taken sweetie. No Homo! Plenty of time to go in the season to see who the better team in New York will be. This year it should actually be a good race. Both teams do look good. I guess starting May 19th will say a lot. But if you get a win over Victor Suck-brano, don't feel too god about yoursleves. :action-sm


And there is no way it will be a repeat of 2000 if both make it to the series. I'm not gonna say that the Mets will win it, I'm just saying it will last more than 5 games. But both teams have to make it that far first.

Last night was disgusting. I turn on 24 and its 3-3 in the 7th. I come back at the end and we're losing 7-3 in the 8th. I guess the one bright side is that as shitty as Wang was pitching, we were in the game until the 'rebuilt' bullpen came in.

Also I was saying to my bro as that gorilla came up in the 1st inning, he is the only guy to ever face the yankees that when he comes up, no matter what the situation is, im scared. Seriously, there is never a time when he is standing in that batters box where Im not watching chewing my nails in fear that hes gonna do something to hurt them. I hate thinking that if we dont sign Giambi in 01, they probably would have gotten him since Mr Steinbrenner liked him.

I missed that. Did he mean in when they are behind when entering the 9th? If they are the away team and losing, then score in the ninth and then allow the home team to win in the bottom of the ninth is the only thing that I can think that he meant. Either way it is comedy.

john sterling is a classic , he calls a decent game sometimes he just seems really biased but what do i expect he is afterall a yankee broadcaster!! the guy from the st louis cardinals is a good broadcaster the one who calls a homerun saying get up, get up, get up,!!

[askewcore]

I think Sterling calls a really good game, he's just such a hacky son of a bitch. He has a catch phrase for everyone in the lineup, and they are as follows:

Damon: Positively DAMONic!
Jeter: That was Jeterian!
Sheffield: Garrry Sheffield, the Masssster Chef!
Giambi: The Giaaambino!
A-Rod: An A-Bommmb from A-Roood
Matsui: A Thrilllla from Godzilllla
Posada: Georgy Juiced One!
Bernie: Bern Baby Bernie, Bernie Goes Boom!
Cano: RRRRRobbie Cano, Whhhatta Know!

I laugh at everyone of them.

it stinks.

Strutze and Farnsworth are both way too inconsistent to count on. Dotel could be huge for us, but like you said, he's a big if. We dont know how healthy he'll be and even if he is, he pitched like shit last year. You know we're in a bad spot when Proctor is the guy I look forward most to coming in.

They definitely need to brush him back a bit. He stands there a little too comfortable at the plate and you need to throw his game off a bit.

Mothercunts. Sheff is on the 15-day DL. I guess its better to keep him out now then to rush him back and make it worse. Its 15-days retroactive from Friday, last time he played. Melky Cabrera got called up again, hopefully it goes better for him than last season.

aaaaaaannnd now we have Big Useless on the mound

he's scared of his own fastball now, he's throwing slider after slider. I dunno if you guys saw that statistic that they put up, but opponents are batting .471 against him with runners in scoring position and 2 outs.

and right when I say that, he gives up an RBI double to Manny...nice throw by Matsui though

christ...Useless has thrown 65 through 3. He SUCKS...not even fucking CLOSE to the plate and that ugly cunt is glaring at the ump for not giving him the strike call on a pitch that's in the opposite batters box

EDIT:wtf is happening our lead just fell apart!!Big fucking Useless...that's what happened. When I got off the train on the way home I said, "Hmmm...it's not warm and it's a light drizzle? We're completely fucked"

I hope whatever injury that Johnson has is a symptom of some fast killing disease. Like Pancreatic Cancer. I fucking hate his guts. Ifucking hate Steinbrenner for making this the jewel of last season and having to get him 2 fucking years past his prime.
I cant wait to hear him blame Joe for having Jorge catch for him.
I think it should also be noted that if he is injured, they are going to throw about 30 million at Clemens for his service. When that happens, i stop watching.

EDIT: Fuck you Shef you fucking pussy for making them play Melky. Hillenbrand got leveled in that collision and he seems to be fine. HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MISS THAT!!!!!

[Jimmy's Dignity]

next time the Yankees go on pitching raid, if they don't go for guys in the AL, I'm going to fucking go shit on home plate.

these NL assholes come over here and just can't pitch to the men in American league

[Perch1019]

Gally, i got a question...
I know the rumor that was started was more BS and more of a knee jerk reaction to Zambrano going down but what would you do if the Mets bought the mercenary services of the anti christ himself, Roger Clemens? I have a bunch of met fan friends and it seems to be split.
Would that in your eyes cheepen a potentail great mets season?
Personally I think that if it did happen and a Met fan was all for it, they would be a total hypocrite since the majority of mets fans run aroudn screaming "payroll" and "yanks buy their championships"

Oh and fuck this team

[Halo Five]

for the Yankees... of course Beckett is doing decently for The Sawx... but it is getting out of hand with the NL pitchers shitting the bed for the Yankees.

EDIT: at least the Mets lost

[click]

I heard that the offer on the table from Houston is 3 mil a month if Clemens decides to sign. He said he wants to wait till June to make a decision. I've never heard of a team offering a monthly contract.

[Angelfuck]

Meh, Mets are losing tonight as well. I just felt like mocking the Yankees real quick. BUt I did see that The Big Unit was sucking a randy johnson tonight

gotta agree with gally, if the mets arent winning its always makes me happy to see the yankees loosing, and it gives me chills to watch them loose this bad... but i dont really have a choice in which game I watch anyway...

Just end this game already... Jesus!

I would root for Tommy John surgery for Clemens.

Until he throws a no hitter or perfect game, or wins the game that clinches the playoffs or World Series.

I admit, I am a hypocritical douch, who can't spell.

HOnestly though, I really have nothing against the Yankees as a team, I just hate the fans who take everything too seriously. And there happen to be more Yankee fans like that than Mets fans.

And by that type of fan I mean the ones who take responsibility for Yankee wins. And those who say shit like, "Yeah, well we have 26 World Championships. So bite me" Really? Do you personally have something to do with those championships?

Besides, for the last 5 years, what has trying to buy your way to another World Championship brought you?

Oh yeah, NOTHING! :action-sm

I also got nothing against the Mets as a team, but I cant stand the fans that think because they started off well, the season is as good as over. That thread that got deleted was a perfect example, people were crowing about being 4 games up in May. Its sad.

Oh yeah, Big Useless should die.

Our pitching is so God awful. Its almost funny. But its not.

Johnny Damon should die with Johnson.

[Stormrider666]

I can't fucking believe how atrocious Randy Johnson has been pitching lately. Did anyone catch what Micheal Kay said. Johnson has stated that if he can't return to rare form, he will just hang it up. The guy looked like 21 year old from AA making his first start, not a former Cy Young winner who used to intimidate batters. I have this gut wrenching feeling, that Johnson may just take a hike and retire before the end of the season. Oh well, Mussina will get them tommorrow.

As far as I'm concerned, the season isn't over until October. The thread that got deleted, I don't even know what it was about. I read something about it in the Phillies thread tonight as well. All I know right now is that for the time being the Mets are the better team in New York recordwise. But that is right now. Come Spetember that might be different. And September is when it all matters. Then and October.

Oh, and the more I think about it, I will never like Clemens as a human. But if he can dliver for the Mets as he did in the past, I'm all for it.

Eh, Michael Kay is a horse's ass. I dont think anyone would be a big enough dick to retire mid-season if you're supposed to be an ace. He better not come back next year, he's a bag of douche.

Who's the big free agent pitcher next season? Zito right?

edit: sorry bout double post, i stink.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

100% honesty...if Johnson retires after his next 3 pieces of shit, I mean starts, I'd be happy. I'd almost rather not watch playoff baseball in October than deal with watching that fuck on the mound for the rest of the year

Yes he's goin to the Hall of Fame, but lets face it...he's like Willie Mays on the Mets right now

I hate him less than I hate RJ though. If he can come back and pitch well, I'd love to get him back. I dont think he's gonna come back here though.

[Cybouncer]

I was at the game tonight.

First off, as many of you stated, Johnson is fucking terrible. I remember seeing him pitch in the past and you could hear the ball snap into the catcher's glove. Not tonight. While Beckett threw 95-97 into the 7th, Johnson was barely breaking 90 in the 3rd.

I thought it was going to be a loooong night when the GIAMBEEENO hit the HR in the 1st, but Beckett seemed to really settle in a groove after that.

Lay off Cabrera for missing that fly ball. The wind was whipping really bad and that ball was skyrocketed. You could see it get up there and just twist with the wind. Not saying it would have been an impossible catch, but I can't really get on him for missing it.

Damon did shit tonight. Hard to argue with my buddy who went with me that the Sox should never have let him go when he plays like he did tonight.

Tomorrow night will be interesting. Moose on the mound for the Yanks and Schill for the Sox. Both are healthy and both are throwning the ball really well right now. Gonna be a great game!

[Cybouncer]

I hate him less than I hate RJ though. If he can come back and pitch well, I'd love to get him back. I dont think he's gonna come back here though.


I think if he plays anywhere this year, he will play in Houston.

I've gotta say the best baseball thing I saw last night was Juan Pierre pulling 714 back and Barry not getting it. I wish i was there and got the eventual ball...if I was drunk enough I'd throw it back

It was Baltimore and Armando Bertinz, threw at Tino Martinez and hit him. If I remember correctly, almost starting a brawl. And I don't want them to hit that hispanic yard ape, just brush him back a little, make him move his feet. Great win for the Yanks though. And the rally killer(A-Rod) finally did something. I hope Johnson was taking notes from Mussiana on how to bear in and take charge of the game.

[askewcore]

Good game tonight. Moose has been fucking great this season, so far he has kept this team together with his solid pitching. The pitches that Ortiz and Lowell hit out weren't really bad (Lowell's was than Ortiz) About time A-Rod came up with a huge shot, and God Bless a steriod free Giambi. He's been on feugo this fucking year! Now if we can take the game tomorrow, that massacre yesterday will be null and void.

He is the Anti-Jeter. That Grandslam you speak of was when the yanks were already up by 3. The game winning single and last nights HR are the only meaningful hits hes had so far. Hes the king of garbage time. I knew he was going to strike out there. The shocking part was that he didnt go do looking on that one pitch and fouled a couple off before the usual "swing through a fastball and then stare at the scoreboard making faces" look.

Sorta update on Matsui from Rotoworld

No additional details yet. Four to six weeks is the best-case scenario for Matsui. A six- to eight-week absence is also possible. The Yankees will probably recall Kevin Thompson and have him enter a rotation with Melky Cabrera and Bubba Crosby until Gary Sheffield comes back. Unless Sheffield has a setback, the Yankees shouldn't need to trade for an outfielder just yet.

[askewcore]

Shit in my hat.

Kay was saying Sheff might not be ready after his 15 day DL stint.

ESPN is saying Deki might be out for the season, or "at least three months" but thats because they have their fingers crossed because they fucking HATE the Yankees.

[Baby Evil]

Matsui's injury now has me into a deeper depression. I am sick. The useless hacks at ESPN say 3 months which means it will take him six weeks to recover, but then that golfer Stuart Scott will scream booyah into his ears 100 times and then his ear injury will take another six weeks to recover from.

[Perch1019]

ITs going to be three months at least. The rehab and shit is whats going to kill him. It takes a while to regain the strength and the speed in the wrist for an injury like that
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

[HockeyHelmet]

Ah, Shit

[Cybouncer]

I was actually watching the game with a Dr. last night when Matsui got hurt. She said that they really won't be able to tell how long he will be out for until they get inside his wrist. When they open him up, only then will they be able to see the full extent of his injury.

I'm hoping he gets back sooner rather than later. He is a class act and is good for the sport.

Shefield on the other hand can piss upwind for all I care...

[askewcore]

Apparently, according to every ESPN columnist, we're done. Matsui goes down and the season is over. I hate these fuckbags.

• The Matsui injury is crushing, writes Tyler Kepner. Tanyon Sturtze continues to struggle. Johnny Damon is banged up, too. Shawn Chacon had a forgettable night, writes Andrew Marchand. When Joe Torre came out to replace Chacon, the pitcher looked absolutely stunned that he was being removed after 4 2/3 innings -- and maybe because opposing hitters are 2-for-27 against him with runners in scoring position in his last four starts.

They also list a few options for us to replace Matsui, since the doctors at ESPN already have Deki not coming back till "At least September and maybe 2007"

Here they are:
1. Bobby Abreu
2.Shannon Stewart
3. Torii Hunter
4. Aubrey Huff
5. Alfonso Soriano
6. Mike Cameron
7. Austin Kearns

I'd take any of the top three, or Sori back. Abreu will probably be the easiest to get because he makes 30 million a year and Philly wants to move him. Shannon Stewart always kills us, and would give us some good speed and consistent contact bat, Hunter is the best CF in the AL, then we could move shitfact Damon to Left so his girly arm doesnt have to make such long throws. Sori is playing a good LF for Washington, and I never wanted to lose him anyway. We gonna have to get someone, because I dont think Crosby/Cabrera are gonna pick up the slack, and you know Steinbrenner wont stand for that, and our pitching isnt good enough to win close games.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Abreu is a suck...he hasn't done jack fuckall since he was in the HR contest

I'd take Sori (cause he never wanted to leave), Hunter, then Stewart in that order.

You see the Daily Quickie on Page 2 of ESPN today? That Jackhole says that the Yanks should pick up Bonds. If that were to happen, I'd resign as a Yankees fan for the rest of my fucking life

[askewcore]

Eww, I didnt read that about Bonds. That would be the worst thing ever. I hate that shitbag. I'd love to get Sori back, I agree with your order too, but I really think we'll end up with Bobby, just because Philly is gonna give him away.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Here's the link... (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/quickie)


Two Words For You:
BRONX. BONDS.

Bonds to the Yankees?

Yankees LF Hideki Matsui broke his left wrist last night and, based on reports, will be out anywhere from three months to the entire season.

It's an outsize blow, because if anything, Matsui was the rock of the Yankees. Matsui had played 518 straight games ... until now. Sheffield is on the DL. Johnny Damon reinjured his shoulder and foot last night.

So before the New York tabloids jump on it, let me be the first to make the case:

The Yankees should try to trade for Barry Bonds.

Start with this: The Yankees could use him; they now have a gaping hole in left field, potentially for the rest of the season.

Not only that, but Bonds could occasionally take advantage of the AL's DH rule to avoid fielding and just take at-bats, particularly with Yankee Stadium's friendliness to left-handed hitters.

(That would avoid embarrassments like Thursday, when Bonds stumbled all over the outfield as he played in a rare afternoon game, the day after he played in a night game. It showed a painful defense and he went 0-3.)

Yesterday was the fourth game in this must-see home stand that the Giants didn't sell out. And that was for the "714/715" games. What happens the rest of the season? Giants fan attendance is a more accurate indicator of fan support than the cheering of the fans who actually go to games.

Bonds is an albatross. He has eclipsed the franchise, turning it into a national embarrassment.

Giants owner Peter Magowan even broached the subject of letting Barry walk away (albeit in the offseason) on Tuesday, saying "I've always been open to the possibility of him being in another uniform."

(Interestingly, when Bonds said Tuesday that he'd be open to exploring free agency in the AL as a DH, many fans thought of the Yankees as a natural fit. Why wait until December? Why can't it fit right now?)

To me, that says: Make him an offer, Brian Cashman.

Finally, is there any pair more made for each other than Bonds and the Boss? The most hated player on the most hated team. And if there were any city or franchise that is bigger than any one player -- and big enough to absorb the biggest, baddest story in sports -- it's the Yankees.

"Bonds on Bronx" for the rest of 2006 is an outrageous-sounding proposition that makes an outrageous amount of sense

This guy is a fuckin ass-hat....he (like every ESPN/Red Sox douche) constantly rails against the Yankees for "buying championships" and trading away the farm for over-the-hill assholes...now he's fucking calling for exactly that.

and needless to say, there's a poll on it....
"Bonds on the Yankees?"
Love It = 56.2%
Hate It = 43.7%

If we trade ANYTHING for Bonds, I'll wait outside the stadium the day he arrives and throw horse turds at him. I never want to see that cocksucker in pinstripes, let alone watch him pass the Babe while wearing them. Your point about ESPN crying about us buying championships, then saying we should do this is perfect too. Fuck Bonds, and fuck ESPN.

Of course there is. Fucking bandwagon fans voting for love it.

Hey Shanoff! Choke on a cock and die

If only there was a God.

The Yankees are not planning to make any moves at the moment in the wake of left fielder Hideki Matsui breaking his left wrist in Thursday night's loss to the Red Sox.

UPDATE: ESPN truly has no fucking idea what is going on. Because now, we dont plan to make any trades. These fucks are clueless.

[joefrombklyn]

WHO was it that was down at spring training this year for the yanks and sent me those great pictures???? was it u askewcore?

[joefrombklyn]

i dont think the yanks are gonna get anyone for a replacement for matsui. i think they may work with crosby!!

[Halo Five]

Melkey gets the start... as that faggit Kay says.. I guess they want to see what they have in house first.

[joefrombklyn]

thank u jim kaat!!:action-sm
melkys numbers in the minors were 367 and some crazy hr # so they took a chance in bringing him up again last week... i think if they are gonna give this kid a shot they are gonna have to work with him on routine fly balls....

[askewcore]

WHO was it that was down at spring training this year for the yanks and sent me those great pictures???? was it u askewcore?

No sir it was Capt'n Obvious. The pics are on page 4 of this thread if you wanna check some of em out again.

I like Melky getting the start, I think he'll be fine out there. And that fly ball in Game 1 of the Boston series wasnt really routine, that wind was crazy.

[joefrombklyn]

true .... but that was his issue when we brought him up last season... i just think he was nervous in yankee stadium and overwhelmed! he looks scared when they put the cameras on him always..

[askewcore]

Yeah he does always look scared. I'm sure being brought up last season and this season for the Red Sox series cant help though. He's also only 21. Maybe we're mistaking his baby face for worry....no homo. He can definitly swing the stick though.

..Giambi just stole a base?

[joefrombklyn]

i am fed the fuck up with kay... on yesnetwork .com they have fan forums and one thread is about kay ... majority are negative towards him.. his voice just annoys me and sterling has a huge delay so it doesnt time well to listen to him and watch yes.. i like the way singlton and leiter call a game

[askewcore]

Singleton, Kaat and Leiter is the best combination I think. Between those three they have so much fuckin baseball knowledge and stories its great listening to them, even when they just start talking about shit not related to the game its enjoyable. Plus, you have two really smart pitchers and a very good hitter. Kay is just a fat-headed jackass.

I used to like him when he was Sterling's color commentator, it seems like since he got this YES job he got incredibly pompous.

[Tickle The Bag]

I like Melky getting the start, I think he'll be fine out there. And that fly ball in Game 1 of the Boston series wasnt really routine, that wind was crazy.

Definetly not a routine catch, but the ball hit his glove and like everyone says if it hits your glove you should make the catch. In this case it was just a bit of the jitters and he has played well since. He bounced right back and pinched one through the middle with his next at bat.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

"He's struck out twice against Zito so far, but he has the power to break this 0-0 tie...stay tuned to see if he does"

Michael Kay, you have no idea how happy I would be if you R. Budd Dwyer'd yourself

bbwhwhahahahaha, and then A-Rod hits it out!! Although fuck-o definately said, "Pudge Rodriguez hits one to deep center field!!"


....yes, yes he did say Pudge

[Tickle The Bag]

bbwhwhahahahaha, and then A-Rod hits it out!! Although fuck-o definately said, "Pudge Rodriguez hits one to deep center field!!"


....yes, yes he did say Pudge

Are you fucking kidding me? I didn't catch that. I saw him blast it over the center field fence but I had a few shots of Jager and a couple of beers so my listening skills are not up to par right now. Ol' Pudge, that's classic.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

I've got Jaeger in my freezer...maybe I should go take a swig or two to make Kay palateable

[Tickle The Bag]

I'm down if you are. I am already wounded but who cares. Oh yeah, and I am going to see if the devils won't be swept in game 4 tommorrow. We will be in like row 9 behind the goal that the Devils will be shooting at for two of the three periods. How sick would it be if we come back from 3-0.

*As the Melkster punches one out to left through the gap.*

[Tickle The Bag]

Wang great job pitching, eighty-what pitches through 8. Cano sick fucking catch and throw. Andy who?... Sick leather. Rivera in the pen. I feel good boys.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Wang rules.............no homo

and now I'm glad I'm not listening to the radio...."And Bernie Goes BOOOMM!!"

[Tickle The Bag]

It's weekend at Bernie's!

God damn I have imaginery Sterling lines stuck in my head.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

hahahaha...it's not that imaginary if he hits one tomorrow and/or Monday

you realize that the Yanks have only had one 1 run game this season?

(runs to get beer)

you think we go after Zito in the offseason?

Rock on Andy!! 3-6-3 to end this beyotch!

[Tickle The Bag]

1rst and 3rd. 1 out. 3-6-3 double play. Mo is such a cocktease. Nice game boys.

[askewcore]

hahahaha...it's not that imaginary if he hits one tomorrow and/or Monday

especially since Sterling probably would think that movie is still relavant.


you think we go after Zito in the offseason?


I think they will because he's the biggest name FA pitcher and he's a lefty, but I dont know if he'll succeed in NY.

[Halo Five]

Great win today... A-ROD goes deep again, Wright looked solid and of course Sturtze had to make things interesting... but Proctor has looked fantastic this season (not including that first game in Oakland) and Fansworth nailed the save.

[askewcore]

A-Rod looks like he's getting his stroke back. I really want Sturtze to turn himself around, I like him, plus he'd be a huge addition to the pen if he can right himself. I'm lovin Proctor this year, he gets a pass for his first game because his baby daughter was having heart sugery during that game, I dont think he was too concerned about pitching. Wright surprised me again, I dont know if I'm buying into him actually pitching well.

Sturtze is on the DL.. I don't mind it, I never really trusted him.

I wish they would have brought up Hughes instead of Erickson.

[askewcore]

ooh, sounds like a fake injury to let him try and get his shit worked out and/or confidence back.

I dont think they wanna rush Hughes up and I think they wanna keep him as a starter. I wanna see what he can do too though, hearin great things about him.

[omgzpizzowned]

Thank god Sturtze is on the DL, even if it means Erickson is comin' up.

The only guys seeing time out of the pen should be Villone, Myers, Proctor, Farns, Mo. We really don't NEED another pitcher.

If Pena was on the 40man he probably would have come up today.

[askewcore]

I like Phillips, but I think Pena will be a nice addition for his defense when he comes up.

Welcome to wackbag by the way.

[omgzpizzowned]

Thanks, and yeah I like Andy but he's a AAAA player and nothing else. If breaking balls were made illegal he'd be an all-star, but he's just a defensive replacement at this point. Pena tees off on right handed pitching and then Bernie can hit against the lefties since he still has power from the right side. Pena's also younger than AP and plays as good if not better defense.

[rustytrombone1]

Pavano still sucks monkey balls! It's bad enough he's on the DL with a sore ass that is apparently tough to rehab from...but he pitched in a double A game in Trenton....and was complaining about his arm being sore...OF COURSE IT'S SORE FUCKFACE....when you don't throw a fucking pitch for two months, you're going to feel some muscle soreness. Will somebody please punch him in the uterus!!!

[omgzpizzowned]

He didn't complain, he pulled himself 'cause it was the longest he's gone all year. After the game he said he knows it's good pain.

It was a damn good outting though 6ip 1er 6k 0bb 10/1 gb/fo

[omgzpizzowned]

Johnson actually looked really good today, a lot better than the line will show. Haren was just amazing, he really only had one tough inning.

Oh, and it's horrible that the bottom of the lineup looks like an NL team.

He actually didnt pull himself at all. When he told Monteleone that his arm was feeling a little tender, he pulled him as a precaution. I heard it might have been because Guidry taught him a different way to throw his slider and it was putting pressure on muscles he doesnt normally use.

Really? Wow, the story I read said he pulled himself. That was right after the game though. He said he felt good though, and that it was "good" pain, all muscular, nothing in the joint or tendons.

[askewcore]

Thats what Suzyn Waldman said on the pre-game show either today or yesterday, I forget. Her voice is incredibly annoying, but she always has good info.

[joefrombklyn]

finally a fucken tolerable commentator calling the game !! singleton and kaat!!
should be an interesting pitching match.. mmoose

[joefrombklyn]

gotta love the animated home plate ump!

Less Michael Kay, more gooder.


And, stupid Torre was shit talking Melky before the game, saying Bubba should be playing but the organization wants Melky.

[joefrombklyn]

btw .. welcome to the board omgzpizzowned i have been seeing u posting on this fine thread..
where are all my fellow yankee baggers??

[joefrombklyn]

Less Michael Kay, more gooder.


And, stupid Torre was shit talking Melky before the game, saying Bubba should be playing but the organization wants Melky.
yeah i heard it on pre game:action-sm

[Abysmul]

c'mon guys, we need more than 1 run of support for our ace!!!!


Go Moose!!!!

[Tickle The Bag]

I don't know why you would keep Crosby up and leave Melky down and then end up sitting Crosby when the situation arises. I would think that is what Joe is complaining about. Crosby and Melky are both doing a good job but I would have to give the edge to Crosby just from being around the team day in and day out.

Bubba should play every day till Sheff gets back, but once Sheff gets back Bubba should probably get DFA'd to add Pena to the 40man.


Oh, and Torre, good job with Pulling Jason. AAAAndy up in a big spot sure turned out well.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

c'mon guys, we need more than 1 run of support for our ace!!!!


Go Moose!!!!wait...I thought Randy Johnson was our ace? :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[askewcore]

wait...I thought Randy Johnson was our ace? :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

Randy Johnson eats my ace...



nothin?

[askewcore]

No Giambi tonight. He came out of yesterdays game with a stiff neck, got therapy today, will be ready tomorrow. He can pinch hit tonight, but he's not starting. Awful Kay was bugging out about it on his radio show just now. Although, the fact that he's doing a show, probably means he's not doing the game, which is great news for all.

[Abysmul]

Randy Johnson eats my ace...



nothin?

HELLO EXACTLY!

It sucks that the Giambino is out tonight....the offense is really depleted:icon_frow

[joefrombklyn]

what was that dick kay saying on his show about giambi??

[askewcore]

first he was bugging out about how there's no way we could win without giambi and no team is deep enough to overcome all these injuries and blah blah blah and then the other dude on his show chimed in and said, "yeah well, I just heard Giambi said he'll be fine by tomorrow and its not a big deal at all." Then Kay kinda started stumbling and trying to spin it into a big fucking deal.

chacon really puts himself in some rough spots. He should have gotten that 1-2 call on Young, and if Damon didnt throw like a pre-teen girl, they woulda only got one in the first. But, whatta gonna do? This is gonna be a rough comeback to try and make now....

shit...1 1/3 out of chacon. He caught some bad breaks, but didnt pitch too well...that means ESPN is gonna say our season is over now....and a 3 run homer from Small....this game is toast. Anything else good on tv?

[Abysmul]

10-8......coming back baby!

[Abysmul]

Bern, Baby, Bern!!!!!

[askewcore]

Well fuck me runnin. Whatta comeback!

[Abysmul]

Oh Fuck Yea!!!!!! I Just Dropped A Wet Load In My Knickers!!!!!

[Halo Five]

Well fuck me runnin. Whatta comeback!


indeed sir... what a game!
