the thing that scares me most is it looks like Big Papi is finally starting to awake from his season long slumber, and if that happens, its wild card all the way for us. That is one man who can pile that whole stinking ship on his back and lumber them off to the promised land.

all that is true, but I don't think Papi does well (stinking ship on the back well) unless he has Manny hitting behind him.
bad day yesterday, but you knew they'd be drained after the big sweep (at least everyone else lost). good win today, Mr. Kennedy ........ kennedy looked very nice today. Although Arod dropped an easy pop fly, i wonder if someone was yelling at him during that play
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP.

I don't know where we were this series, but we can not possibly win the east if we're going to lose a series to Tampa. It doesn't matter how hot they've been.
Oh well at least we're playing a really really cold team next .

my bad, i don't live in the forums in my mommies basement like you do. Tough loss today, dang those rays. But the true goodness starts tomorrow, bring on the M's.
and ax, still no word on that bet yet huh? All bark and no bite I guess.

Okay - here's a serious question, what happened to this Hughes kid? He was supposed to be the second coming of Cy Young himself (according to all the NY media hype of course), but he doesn't seem to be pitching very well. I haven't seen him pitch, but it seems like he's getting lit up every start, not as bad as Mussina was, but nowhere near the pitcher he was made out to be. Is he another Brien Taylor-type Yankee bust?
<<How's that Clemens signing working out, by the way?>>
I have been on record from day 1 when they signed Clemens as that being a stupid move. I was pleased that the Yankee had been going with some youth so it really p1ssed me off when they signed Clemens for $19 Million for 4 months.
By the way, what's up with your Dice-K deal. You guys pay $50 Million additional just for the right to him, and he barely has a 14-11 record with a 4.11 ERA. He gave up 7 freaking runs tonight and you guys almost lost a laugher. If I was a Sox fan I would not be too happy with that acquisition.

I'll post where I want, just like your cronies posting in the M's thread.
Dice K is a ROOKIE, remember, and is doing quite well...had a few bad starts but overall doing well...and I'd rather have him as a starter than any one of the yankee starters....how's Mussina and his $13 million annual salary working out for you?
Who was talking about Hughes? Good lord calm down...I was saying that spending $28 million for half a year of mediocrity of Clemens was a terrible signing.
And $15.5 million for Sexson? He had a bad year but was fantastic last year...players apparently aren't able to have bad years. How's that $100 million for juicer Giambi working out? What about the $23 million left for mop up man Mussina? How about the $40 million you paid out to Carl Pavano? and what about Kei Igawa, the desperate yankee signing to keep up with the Sox and their Dice K deal? How are those deals working out for you?
i also just got out of a mega marathon D&D tourney, so i haven't had time to post ( i know mom, i'll pick up my clothes after the game). Big letdown yesterday, hopefully Wang rights the ship tonight against Ramirez.
I know, I know, according to the troll, i only post when the yankees win, so i'll be posting again tomorrow
Suuure you did...don't worry, you aren't the only yankee 'fan' who turns tail and hides after a loss...softy was really the only one among you who'd stand and post after a loss...the rest of ya are bums.
To the FOOL who said that Arod only carried the Yanks in April, will you please shut up now?
Arod is the primary and overwhelming reason the yanks are even contending, let alone in first in the wild card. Don't forget, the yanks are still 6 out in the divison. If the yanks had shown some starting pitching this year, they'd be in first in the east.

You don't know what the hell you are talking about. There are 9 men playing the game everynight, not 1. You don't watch the Yankee games, and watching an occasional ESPN highlight doesn't make you an expert on the Yankees.
If the M's didn't go 1-11 they'd be 3 games up instead of 3 games down in the WC
I don't have to watch the game every night to know that Arod's been the driving force behind the yankee's success this year. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't know thing one about baseball. Likely that the yanks would be a sub .500 team without Arod having the year he's having this year. To say otherwise is as ignorant a statement as ever has been made.
<< <i>Likely that the yanks would be a sub .500 team without Arod having the year he's having this year. To say otherwise is as ignorant a statement as ever has been made. >>
I'm neutral in this argument but without Arod the Yankees are not even close to being in the playoff hunt.
<< <i> Right, he has won 18-20 games single handedly. >>
Don't think anyone said 'single handedly', but yes, if you were to take an average 3rd baseman and replace Arod with him, you'd lose 15-20 games.
Why is it so difficult for you to accept that Arod's a once in a lifetime player AND HE'S ON YOUR TEAM! It's mind-boggling that instead of embracing him you want to say 'nah he only helped us in April'. Absolutely unbelievable.
I gotta agree the ax on this one, take A-Rod off that team and replace him with an average player and you are in trouble this year. It doesn't matter when he helped the team it only matters that he has contributed to alot of wins this year.
Currently completing the following registry sets: Cardinal HOF's, 1961 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, 1980 Pittsburgh Pirates Team, Bill Mazeroski Master & Basic Sets, Roberto Clemente Master & Basic Sets, Willie Stargell Master & Basic Sets and Terry Bradshaw Basic Set
I said "and that's all" (regarding carrying the team). I've already acknowledged he has played great since then, but so have so many other members of the team.
If you don't understand by reading the above quote which I posted then there is no helping you. He carried the team in the month of April ONLY. In my opinion he has not carried the team in any other month. He has played great since. I can't make it any more clear.

Then why did you say 'you're a friggen liar' when I posted that? I said you said that Arod only carried the team in April, you called me a liar. APOLOGIZE and move on.
Because I never said that he ONLY helped us in April. You incorrectly read it that way. I said that is the only month in my opinion that he carried us. If you're going to read the words "and that's all" as meaning that he hasn't done anything else for the team since April then you're mistaken. It's meaning was as far as "carrying the team" goes. If that wasn't clear for you then I don't see how it's possible you were still confused when I directly said that he has been great since then.

look at the post right on top of yours (this one), are you that dumb?
Despite a 9 game slide by the M's, the yanks are only 2 games up in the wild card?
All of this despite a $200 million payroll?
1 game back despite going 1-10 in our last 10...I love it!
<< <i>How's that Clemens signing working out, by the way? >>
28 million for a .500 pitcher with a 4.45 ERA sounds like a bargain!

How about A-Rod - this guy is unbelievable. Another HR tonight, needs one more to tie Mel Ott, two more to tie McCovey and Ernie Banks.
Yanks look like the best second place team to me at the moment - still have a shot to catch the Sox, but running out of time.
<< <i>Wow the yankee lovers sure like to post after a win don't they! And sure are quiet after a loss!!! >>
Heh, we will see what happens after Hughes gets lit up tomorrow night.

you have no idea what you say from one thread to the next do ya?
