I forgot his name, said a few weeks ago that Boston would bury the Yankees and run away with the division. Don't look now but the Yankees with their disastrous start are hanging in there. If the overpaid pitchers ever live up to their potential look out. Baltimore is fading.

The TRIBE is on FIRE!!!!!!!!!! (I just hosed them by posting this of course)
for a team full of youngsters, they sure seem to be coming together the past month.
<< <i> Don't look now but the Yankees with their disastrous start are hanging in there. >>
So you went from them winning the World Series to "hanging in there"? You started a new thread to say this? And you wonder why people get on your case......
<< <i>No, I started a new thread to say that a Boston writer was getting c ocky and said that the Sox would bury the Yankees and run away with the division. >>
Then why not say that? Instead of trying to put up excuses for your pathetic 200 million dollar cry baby yankees?
And you don't think there were 1000 NY writers predicting that the spankees would bury the red sox and run away with the division? How pathetic is that you bring this up now?
Lame.
And .500 is hanging in there, but sure as hell won't win the division, or the wild card. Funnier still? The Yankees have pissed off so many team owners and they have nothing in the farm system to work with, so it's going to be many dry years under queen george's final years as yankees owner.
All I can say is what goes around comes around....
<< <i>I will bookmark this post among your others for October 2005. >>
Nice way to avoid the point that hundreds of yankee sports writers picked the yankees to bury the red sox.
You know it's true, sportswriters typically avoid the truth in hopes of kissing their readers' butts.
Hmm....Wang has the best ERA of any high paid starter on the Yankees and Cano is batting .291 and has hit safely in 19 out of 20 games. And don't give me any of your garbage that they are not in the Yankees farm system anymore. What's in Seattle's farm system? What's in your wallet?
<< <i> Hmm....Wang has the best ERA of any high paid starter on the Yankees >>
that's not something to be proud of
<< <i>That was not my point. >>
sorry - i did have a good laugh though, taking that out of your context.
boston ain't looking much better though - foulke looks like crap

Dude. THEY AREN'T IN THE FARM SYSTEM ANYMORE. And you're proud of a nearly 4 ERA as the 'best' of any starter on the yankees staff? HAHAHAHAH
Thanks for that laugh man.
And what, do you work for capital one or something? That 'what's in your wallet thing' is just absolutely stupid.
Who are they going to trade to acquire depth? Who are they going to call up to add depth? How are they going to get the pitching help they so desperately need.
And who is here claiming Seattle is the next world series champion? Who here posts every time their team wins?
Remind me to get you a hearing aid for your birthday. When is it?

If they are playing for the yankees THEY AREN'T IN THE FARM SYSTEM.
How much simpler can it be?
And I love how you continue to avoid the obvious truth that every sportswriter in NY said exactly the same thing about the yankees burying the red sox that you are blasting this guy in boston for saying about the red sox burying the yankees.
Why is it somehow 'news' that because the yankees were somehow defamed?
<<And you're proud of a nearly 4 ERA as the 'best' of any starter on the yankees staff? HAHAHAHAH>>
And what ERA does the best starter on the Mariners have?
Wang's 2005 Stats
Brian, you are right. Halladay is great and has recovered nicely from his injury last year and Chacin os a very good young pitcher. They could be s sleeper.
<< <i><<And you're proud of a nearly 4 ERA as the 'best' of any starter on the yankees staff? HAHAHAHAH>>

The Mariners aren't paying anyone on their pitching staff $15 million + not to 'win games...just keep them close'
The Mariners pitching staff is the reason they are performing so poorly.
But tell me when you've read me say ONCE anything about the M's pitching staff?
<< <i>Last year whatever scouts said the Yankees did not have anything in their Farm System worth anything didn't know what they were talking about. I am sure the Yankees have more of these diamonds in the rough. >>
Yeah, a pitcher with a near 4.00 ERA is a real 'diamond'.
Nice reach there spam boy.
I love how you conveniently leave out Cano who is even younger than Wang at 22. Your answer says it all.

Have you been drinking?
You said Cano and Wang are two great diamonds in the rough from the yankees system.
I point out that your pitcher has a nearly 4.00 ERA, which is hardly a diamond.
Are you so blind to your 'love' to the yankees that you can't even accept the yankees' faults?
<< <i>By the way Joe Torre says that Robinson Cano reminds him of a young Rod Carew. Torre has been around baseball a long time and I trust his judgement. Cano has been great. >>
Too bad queen george makes all the personnel decisions now, and ignores his manager and GM.
You knew Gemmy would be on here with this, especially now that "his" Yankees have won a couple of games in a row, and the Sox lost. It's par for the course, no need to get worked up over it, he's like an open book with this stuff. For the record though - I'll be willing to bet that there are no more "diamonds in the rough" in the depleted Yankee farm system, and just about every NY sportswriter agrees with this. You had better like Wang and Cano - because unless you trade for some young players somehow, that is all the youth you're gonna get.
Before the season, Yankee fans were gloating about the "big unit" and how they would win 120+ games and run away with the AL East. Now, here it is July, and you are 4 games back - with an awful pitching staff that gets worse by the day, and the team scares no one anymore. The payroll is too enormous to not win some games here and there, but - this clearly is a dysfunctional team that will go nowhere this season. Bookmark that, too.

Spammy is so predicatable...I thought I was the only one saw his posting habits as clear as day.
Yankees win a couple, suddenly they are 'his' team again and he's here gloating how glorious they are.
They lose, vapor trail as he races for the door.
Yeah, right.
