    Song: Back in the Saddle Again Lyrics

    I'm back in the saddle again
    Out where a friend is a friend
    Where the longhorn cattle feed
    On the lowly gypsum weed
    Back in the saddle again

    Ridin' the range once more
    Totin' my old .44
    Where you sleep out every night
    And the only law is right
    Back in the saddle again

    Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
    Rockin' to and fro
    Back in the saddle again
    Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
    I go my way
    Back in the saddle again

    I'm back in the saddle again
    Out where a friend is a friend
    Where the longhorn cattle feed
    On the lowly gypsum weed
    Back in the saddle again

    Ridin' the range once more
    Totin' my old .44
    Where you sleep out every night
    And the only law is right
    Back in the saddle again

    Whoopi-ty-aye-oh
    Rockin' to and fro
    Back in the saddle again
    Whoopi-ty-aye-yay
    I go my way
    Back in the saddle again

    Since the Yankees horrid 11-19 start they are 39-22, a .639 clip. That is more like it.

    A $200 million payroll and they are 'scratching and clawing' their way to a 1/2 game lead?

    Weak.
  • Gemmy10Gemmy10 Posts: 2,990 ✭

    I don't call a .639 winning percentage scratching and clawing. With all their pitching injuries it is more like slugging.

    << <i>the Yankees are 39-22, a .639 clip. >>



    That's what a team with a $208,306,817 payroll "should" do.

    Great job! image

    But they don't have a .639 winning percentage, they have a .549 winning percentage. You can't pick and choose what games you want to include.

    Weak.

    spammy-

    Why is it you detour on threads to easily? Do you have ADHD? Are you unable to follow a thread through to it's completion?

    You start boasting how the yankees have such and such winning percentage, you are pointed out as being wrong, then you're like 'oh hey what's this over here?'

    Lame.

    .549 winning percentage or not, they have been the hottest team in MLB over the last 61 games. They might win 100 games yet if they go on a torrid pace.

    Too bad the season isn't 61 games huh spammy? The season is 162 games long.

  • Gemmy10Gemmy10 Posts: 2,990 ✭

    <<Too bad the season isn't 61 games huh spammy? The season is 162 games long.>>

    No, I would prefer they shoot for 100 wins out of 162 tries.

    The Yanks blew it.
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭


    << <i>

    And to do that, they'll have to win .715 of their remaining games (50 out of 70).

    Yeah, THAT'S going to happen....


    not.
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    Wow a whole DAY in first place!!!

    So you spend $200 million and you get one day in the sun? Wow, what a return on the investment!

    Huh?!? I don't get your attempted insult.. Or were you still bitter over your premature spamulation and couldn't think clearly?

  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    So now the yankees falling 1 1/2 game back...will that be it? ONE day in first place? Is that what $200 million buys you these days, ONE day in first?

    I guess that's what happens when the yankees plays good teams - the yanks lose?
  • Gemmy10Gemmy10 Posts: 2,990 ✭
    They just beat the Baltimore 2 out of 2. They are not a good team?

    They just beat the Cleveland Indians 3 out of 4. They are not a good team?

    They just beat the Red Sox 3 out of 4. They are not a good team?

    They just beat Texas 2 out of 3. They are not a good team?

    Baltimore is .500 over their last 10 games, and are fading fast.

    Cleveland is 2-8 in their last 10 games, and 2 games over .500 for the season.

    Texas has fallen to third place in the division, and is 2 games over .500 for the season.


    I guess in this year of lowered expectations, winning series of .500 teams is something to be proud of in yankee land!!
  • AxtellAxtell Posts: 10,037 ✭✭
    Yankees take over first place for a single day, and have now fallen 2.5 games out.

    Wouldn't it be funny if a single day in first place is all $200 million buys the yanks this year?
  • Gemmy10Gemmy10 Posts: 2,990 ✭

    Yeah...Ha Ha Funny.

    yeah but it gets old when they just try to buy the world series every year. I love it when they lose....all braves this time! There will be NO CHOKE!
