    Wow! Just watching the Yankees pregame. Chamberlain throws 100+ with control!? Yikes! This kid is exactly where he needs to be! Sad to see Miguel Cairo optioned. I love the heart he has when he plays. If Betemit sucks, Im sure we will see Cairo back because he can play all the infield positions effectively.
  • just saw the bench giving damon a little grief and him tipping his helmet to them after that first inning flare, its amazing how loose the dugout is when you are winning, keep up the good work!!!!

    Josh Towers is a BUSH LEAGUE bum image

    A pitcher with the WOEFUL credentials he has is not the man to take on the A-Rod pop up situation. How many times do the Jays think they can throw at A-Rod before the score is even? What a joke ...... the anvil has swung in the Yanks direction. Look out for CHIN MUSIC.

    Man, Matt Stairs looks like his head is about to explode! LOL

    gem mint you are right. Yesterday the Jays FINALLY threw at A-Rod. Looooooong after the fact and after big time opportunities. So now they want to KEEP throwing at him? BUSH .... and now they look like idiots. No wonder they have so much talent and so few wins image What a bunch of sissy marys. They won't dare do that in Yankee Stadium but back in that dungeon of a ball park in Toronto suddenly they have BALLS? No ....... Bums they all are.

    And Matt Stairs looks like is carrying some huge torch with him image RETIRE ya washed up BUM already will ya? image

  • Since the All-Star break:

    Cano: .420
    Melky: .357

    Bernie was one of my all time favorite Yankees and I was very sorry to see him squeezed out this year, but it is the changing of the guard. If Bernie wanted to play this year he could have played with several other teams.

The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."

    Sorry Yankee fans but I'm proud of the Jays.

    A-Rod was complete bush league for what he did and pay back was inevitable.

    For those with short term memory loss, I'm talking about this game.

    A-Rod, once again, showed that he wouldn't last one at-bat back in the day. He deserved the plunk and acted like a little girl, as usual.

    EXACTLY, its painfully obvious that Arod is bush league, he proves it time and time again.

    sorry stown, but there is nothing to be proud of, they got their payback the game before by hitting him (in the leg/thigh which is TOTALLY bush league) and they didn't have the stones to do it the FIRST time they faced him, so +2 for bush league. Then they hit him again in the knee last night - thats even lower than bush league, thats farm league antics. Then they send out their enforcer - neverwas Matt Stairs?, if its such a big issue to your team send out someone that represents who you are as a team to back your cause, not some guy with his bp jersey still on - and your proud of them?

    I thought Texans were better than that

    Yes, it will make for an interesting finish.

    The Yankees will finally be playing some good teams, Red Sox a mixture of bad and so-so teams -- if the Yanks can win the division, they certainly will deserve it. If they do, Joe Torre will be MVP, and Cashman will be co-MVP for keeping Torre from being fired.

    it should be very interesting (i don't know if the yankees can keep it up, they have been awfully hot and they've got to cool off sometime, i just hope its not happening at the same time the sox get hot), and as both teams know first hand, its always the crappy teams you are supposed to beat that wind up knocking you on your butt at the worst time.

    My bad, I stand corrected. Thought that was the first time they met..

    Having said that, he still deserved to get plunked; although it should have been done in the last meeting. And in the same context, if he tried to pull an "I got it" 30 - 50 years ago against say Bob Gibson, Koufax, etc, he would get plunked every time he stepped up to the plate.

    Two wrongs don't make a right but baseball has always had an unspoken paypack policy. His was just a tad later than usual image

    I stand by my comments whether NY is doing well or not. Time and time again he makes a fool out of himself, the guy is the highest paid player in the game yet at times he looks like some career minor leaguer with his foolish antics. Maybe he needs another dose of V-Tek again.

    Actually, no - I'm just continually amazed at how the Yankee fans are only around during the "good" times, and when they were 1,000 games out of first place back in May this thread was left for dead. It is blatantly obvious that a lot of you guys only like your team when it is winning, while true fans are concerned about their teams performance, win or lose.

    CTSox doesnt come close to comparing to Axhole. Axhole hates all and causes arguements and flame wars on EVERYTHING. CTSox just has outrageous fandom for his Red Sox. It actually makes it fun to bash on him image

    That's a good one.

    The yankee fan thread had fallen to page 3 (and I have 50 posts per page) while the yanks were slumping, suddenly the fans show up out of the woodwork when they're beating the brains in of the teams in the bottom tier, meanwhile the bandwagon gets full again.

    I agree wholeheartedly that he deserved to get plunked for basically a punk play, but it needed to happen in that game or the next, you know gibson or koufax would have put one in his earhole. At least Clemens had the stones to plunk Rios (and its not Rios' fault, just his turn in the barrel), and take the ejection for it, like it or not, baseball is a team sport and you have to protect your guys, they don't really teach that anymore starting in the youth leagues, and its filtered up. Its up to the old horses to set the example, jmho
