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.

I didn't mind the rain and snow on home opening day's, Georgie boy would poney up with free tickets for everyone in attendance for another game.

[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.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

haha, gotcha! I hope Wang keeps this up...93-94 mph on his sinkers, everything (including that hit by Mienkiewicz) has been on the ground

[Perch1019]

Apperently you were listening to John and Suzyn. I heard them babble the same shit. The HR call had me laughing histerically. I love listening to him
WTF happened? I stop listening for an hour and they are getting beat? Fuck!

12 Million dollars to stike out while the old man knocks in the big hit.

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.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

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:

injury update on Pavano....MAYBE mid-May....for a fucking bruise on his ass. WHAT A FUCKING OVERPAID FAGGOT :icon_evil

[askewcore]

injury update on Pavano....MAYBE mid-May....for a fucking bruise on his ass. WHAT A FUCKING OVERPAID FAGGOT :icon_evil

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.

[Perch1019]

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.

[Perch1019]

Sterlings call for Damons homerun today... pleasureably DAMONic.
You know, cause its like Demonic but his name is damon so he says Damonic.

[Perch1019]

No, that 6 foot 10 inch bag of shit refuses to let him catch for him. I dont care how good he pitches for us, he will never be a yankee. Selfish cunt. He represents everything that is wrong with the current bunch.

[Perch1019]

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.

7 Cent, you sir are a total boob.

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

but you're right Askew...this pitching staff is only one damp popcorn fart away from completely imploding. Where'd the young assholes go?

[rahrah]

holy shit....


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

so pissed of that i am missing out on all the yankee talk on this board

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.

agree 100% its a fucken shame and maybe someone can fucken explain it to me in a 3 yr old way but with all the money georgy the german steinbrenner has put into this team why cant we buy or get atleast 2 solid pitchers...its been a few years and we cant get solid pitching... this fucken wright and pavano and etc..:icon_conf

[askewcore]

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

[7cent]

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.

[HockeyHelmet]

I can't wait for Small to get into the rotation, but if we need to rely on Pavano, I am just going to shoot myself now.

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]

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.
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

200 plus million.... bull shit!!

[joefrombklyn]

sheff made himself look like a dick.... arod watched a ball roll too 3rd before and stared at it... among a shitload of other fuck ups with the whole team but damon in the outfield..it all boils down to pitching which if i may add WE DONT HAVE!!!
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.

Whenever you talk to most Mets fans about the Yankees/Mets thing the Mets fans bitterness and jealousy comes through alot harder than the Yankee fans cockiness. And if you've actually had that conversation with a Yankee fan, he's not a real fan.
