<< <i> You got K-Rod stuck so far up your arse that your hemorrhoids don't have room to bleed. >>
Hey, K-Rod is an Angel man!
A-Rod is just playing like he has his past 11 post season games. Problem of course is, the REST of them are too. Jeter is hitting .583 in this series and Posada is at .500 but NOT MUCH after that.
Arod is flat out awful and his .100 average in the postseason over the last 3 years is just god-awful. Pathetic.

Not that the rest of the Yankees except Jeter and Posada are helping much but you are right. A-Rod does not have what it takes to perform at a high level in a baseball hot bed. He needs to go back to baseball SIBERIA in order to be a "MVP" again.

Wow. That sounds a little provincial. So anyone not playing in New York (or. presumably, Boston) is in baseball Siberia?
To the blinded and ignorant yankee 'fans', anything not in the limelight of the ny hype machine is going to think it's 'siberia'.
All this talk about Arod failing...where's the crying for the heads of Giambi and Cano? What about the pitching? Johnson giving up 2 in the first and 6 overall didn't give the hitters any comfort.
I'd love to see wright fail miserably in game four not just because it would knock the yankees out (which would sweet), but how ironic would it be to have the epitome of the yankees pitching staff: overpaid and underperforming be the loser that sends the yankees home?

It's silly to think that Yankee fans don't have a right to expect more from a player who, by most accounts, is one of the top 15 players to ever play the game.
<< <i>Don't worry Yankee fans...you have Jaret Wright going for you Saturday.

I know, pretty bleak man, pretty bleak >>
What's wrong with Jared Wright? I don't think he's that bad. He's sure as hell not a big step down from Jeremy 'The Space Case' Bonderman. I think the Tigers NEEDED these last two to even make this a series. If they're down 2-1 right now they're in much worse shape than the Yanks currently are being down 2-1.

I'd love to see it. I'm sure he'd thrive outside of New York again, and maybe beat the Yankees a few times.

I think you're right. For whatever reason things just haven't worked out for A-Rod in NY, and there doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to let this drag out any longer than it has to. Maybe Anaheim, in exchange for a young arm or two?

Anaheim is a team I have heard for awhile. Who knows, I don't want to get way ahead of myself here. I will continue THIS particular discussion after my season ends. Which maybe tomorrow !!!
What's wrong with Jared Wright? I don't think he's that bad.
You'd certainly be in the minority with that opinion. Bonderman, on the other hand, is an emerging star pitcher with a huge upside. Do your homework, man, before you post.
Arod will never succeed in a NY uniform. He may as well be the hitting equivalent of Mark Wohlers or Rick Ankiel, he just can't find his groove when the pressure is on. Sad, but true.

No team in their right mind will ever take on that contract. A young arm or two?? They'd be lucky to get a box of baseballs in return for picking up that contract.

More cluelessness. Wright's ERA is 4.49 this year, while Bonderman's is around 4.08. Wright has also allowed 4+ runs once in his past 5 starts. Bonderman's career ERA is 4.72, while Wrights is just a hair over 5. Hence my remark that if Wright is, indeed, inferior to Bonderman then he's not a dramatic step down. And whether Bonderman has more 'upside' than Wright is totally immaterial when we're talking about tomorrow's game, for reasons that I hope to God I don't need to elaborate upon.
BTW, how's your research coming on pitcher's BAA when they have runners on base as opposed to when the bases are empty? Anything insightful you'd like to share with us?
<< <i>Maybe Anaheim, in exchange for a young arm or two?

I think the Yankees would have to pick up a fair amount of the salary if they're going to get decent value in trade.
<< <i> No team in their right mind will ever take on that contract. A young arm or two?? They'd be lucky to get a box of baseballs in return for picking up that contract. >>
No, that is wrong man. Anaheim is def. interested in A-Rod. You watch ..... and he would be payed 15 million .... alot of you guys forget that Texas pays for alot of that contract. That won't change with any deal ...... anybody know different?
I think the Yankees would have to pick up a fair amount of the salary if they're going to get decent value in trade.
Agreed.
Bootboy,
I you'd rather have Jaret Wright than Jeremy Bonderman than you truly are an imbecile.
Maybe the Yanks can get that "young arm or two" and get the Angels to pick up the $25 million salary, too. NOT!

I believe Texas is already on the hook for $10 million or so of that contract, so the next team that gets him will only be looking at around 15-16 million per. If I'm right then I'm sure plenty of teams will think he's worth it at that price.

Jesus Christ. Did I say that Wright was better than Bonderman? No. I said that he's not a big step down. And he's not, as the NUMBERS clearly indicate.
Also, I'm under the impression that the Angels-- or whomever else got him in a deal-- wouldn't have to pay the whole 25 million. If I'm right, then you're 0-2 in this thread. But keep trying!

There are a lot of things that grote15 doesn't know. Be patient with him.
Don't think he's eveb worth 15-16 million, as the only teams that would be able to afford that kind of salary would be playoff contenders and why would any one of those teams want to invest that kind of money on a proven choker like A-Fraud?

Nobody cares if you think he's worth that. What's being discussed is whether or not other teams will see value in him at that price. And in any case there are a number of scenerios which could play out, foremost amongst them-- and I believe Dan already mentioned this-- that the Yanks pick up another portion of his salary which would further reduce another team's financial liability.

I know that you're an idiot who doesn't know the difference between the Houston Oilers and the Edmonton Oilers and who blindly backs so-called scientific studies with no standards or data.

You're right. I have no idea what the difference is between the Houston and Edmonton Oilers. Aren't they both women's lacrosse teams?

Time will tell. Maybe they get a live, young arm and maybe they don't.
BTW, when the mood strikes you feel free to:
a) Provide some evidence to suggest that hitters get better pitches to hit when there are runners on base. b) Explain how a team that acquires A-Rod in the post season will be on the hook for the entire 25 million he's owed next season. c) Give us some reasons to believe that Jeremy Bonderman can be considered light years better than Jared Wright.

It's silly to think that Yankee fans don't have a right to expect more from a player who, by most accounts, is one of the top 15 players to ever play the game.

<< <i>Don't worry Yankee fans...you have Jaret Wright going for you Saturday.
I know, pretty bleak man, pretty bleak
What's wrong with Jared Wright? I don't think he's that bad. He's sure as hell not a big step down from Jeremy 'The Space Case' Bonderman. I think the Tigers NEEDED these last two to even make this a series. If they're down 2-1 right now they're in much worse shape than the Yanks currently are being down 2-1.
<< <i>Not that the rest of the Yankees except Jeter and Posada are helping much but you are right. A-Rod does not have what it takes to perform at a high level in a baseball hot bed. He needs to go back to baseball SIBERIA in order to be a "MVP" again. >>
I'd love to see it. I'm sure he'd thrive outside of New York again, and maybe beat the Yankees a few times.
Beat the Yankees when he's not wearing the pinstripes, I mean...

I think you're right. For whatever reason things just haven't worked out for A-Rod in NY, and there doesn't seem to be any compelling reason to let this drag out any longer than it has to. Maybe Anaheim, in exchange for a young arm or two?

Anaheim is a team I have heard for awhile. Who knows, I don't want to get way ahead of myself here. I will continue THIS particular discussion after my season ends. Which maybe tomorrow !!!

You'd certainly be in the minority with that opinion. Bonderman, on the other hand, is an emerging star pitcher with a huge upside. Do your homework, man, before you post.
Arod will never succeed in a NY uniform. He may as well be the hitting equivalent of Mark Wohlers or Rick Ankiel, he just can't find his groove when the pressure is on. Sad, but true.

More cluelessness. Wright's ERA is 4.49 this year, while Bonderman's is around 4.08. Wright has also allowed 4+ runs once in his past 5 starts. Bonderman's career ERA is 4.72, while Wrights is just a hair over 5. Hence my remark that if Wright is, indeed, inferior to Bonderman then he's not a dramatic step down. And whether Bonderman has more 'upside' than Wright is totally immaterial when we're talking about tomorrow's game, for reasons that I hope to God I don't need to elaborate upon.
BTW, how's your research coming on pitcher's BAA when they have runners on base as opposed to when the bases are empty? Anything insightful you'd like to share with us?

I think the Yankees would have to pick up a fair amount of the salary if they're going to get decent value in trade.

No, that is wrong man. Anaheim is def. interested in A-Rod. You watch ..... and he would be payed 15 million .... alot of you guys forget that Texas pays for alot of that contract. That won't change with any deal ...... anybody know different?

Agreed.
Bootboy,
I you'd rather have Jaret Wright than Jeremy Bonderman than you truly are an imbecile.
Maybe the Yanks can get that "young arm or two" and get the Angels to pick up the $25 million salary, too. NOT!

I believe Texas is already on the hook for $10 million or so of that contract, so the next team that gets him will only be looking at around 15-16 million per. If I'm right then I'm sure plenty of teams will think he's worth it at that price.

Jesus Christ. Did I say that Wright was better than Bonderman? No. I said that he's not a big step down. And he's not, as the NUMBERS clearly indicate.
Also, I'm under the impression that the Angels-- or whomever else got him in a deal-- wouldn't have to pay the whole 25 million. If I'm right, then you're 0-2 in this thread. But keep trying!

<< <i>Don't think he's eveb worth 15-16 million, as the only teams that would be able to afford that kind of salary would be playoff contenders and why would any one of those teams want to invest that kind of money on a proven choker like A-Fraud? >>
Nobody cares if you think he's worth that. What's being discussed is whether or not other teams will see value in him at that price. And in any case there are a number of scenerios which could play out, foremost amongst them-- and I believe Dan already mentioned this-- that the Yanks pick up another portion of his salary which would further reduce another team's financial liability.
I know that you're an idiot who doesn't know the difference between the Houston Oilers and the Edmonton Oilers and who blindly backs so-called scientific studies with no standards or data.
Sure, let's see what "young arms" they can get from a team foolish enough to pick up that contract! Yeah, right, you really are a dope!

You're right. I have no idea what the difference is between the Houston and Edmonton Oilers. Aren't they both women's lacrosse teams?

Time will tell. Maybe they get a live, young arm and maybe they don't.
BTW, when the mood strikes you feel free to:
a) Provide some evidence to suggest that hitters get better pitches to hit when there are runners on base.
b) Explain how a team that acquires A-Rod in the post season will be on the hook for the entire 25 million he's owed next season.
c) Give us some reasons to believe that Jeremy Bonderman can be considered light years better than Jared Wright.

Well, the Yanks are about -130 right now, so even with all the Bonderman/Wright talk they're still favored to win the game.
