    << <i>Wow, Mariners get swept at home against the team they must beat image

    The M's are pretenders! >>



    Meanwhile, a team with nearly double the payroll as the M's sits SIX games behind in second place and tied with the M's for the wild card lead.

    Pretenders? Those are the dopes in pinstripes. >>





    Oh man I could have bet big money on that predictable response! First it's the Yanks suck and have run out of steam, blah blah blah, then as soon as his pathetic M's keel over with 5 straight losses, and the Yanks tie it up in the Wild card, the lame payroll card gets played image

    Pretty weak come back with the salary card. I say the Mariners are outside looking in with their pitching staff.

  • The yanks demote a guy due $23 million (mussina) and it's the M's that suck?

    hahahahahaha

    Not sure what you mean here - the Mariners starters versus the Yankees starters is basically a wash, and the Mariners clearly have the better bullpen. The Yankees are calling up minor leaguers in September to start games, because their high-paid starters can't get anyone out. Am I missing something?

    If the M's had a real # 1 starter or a #2 for that matter, they would make a mark in the post season. There ace "King" Felix is actually a 3rd maybe 4th starter on most play-off bound teams. Starting pitching is there main/only real weakness

    You can't be serious about the M's having a better staff then the Yankees? They might have a better #4 starter but I would take Petite, Wang and Clemens over any pitcher on the M's staff right now (Felix may grow into a dominating starter but not right now). So basically your 4th and 5th starters might be better than the Yankees 4th and 5th starters.

    Actually, no. The M's still have the better bullpen. Check the stats.

    I will concede that the edge in starting pitching goes to NY. But it should - they spent at least five times on it as the Mariners did.

    Yankee's bullpen is getting better all the time with these young arms. I don't like the Yankees at all but they could be scary in the Playoffs.

  • <<Rick White surrendered a two-out, bases-loaded walk-off walk to Kenny Lofton, sending the Mariners to their sixth consecutive loss>>

    My condolences. NOT

    Seattle is being cooked and almost done, nice and plump, just in time for the Yankees series. I really don't think the Yankees are going to have to worry about any stinking Wild Card image

  • where are all the posts from the M's fans when their team is stinkin it up???

    thats right, i forgot, only yankees fans disappear when they lose 2 or 3 in a row, my bad

    heh heh

    Your all alone here ax, but not every where.
  • I find it humorous that I've been posting all the way through this losing streak, but yankee 'fans' like gemmint are only around when the yankees are riding high.

    I suspect when the yanks tank (again) they'll all be ghosts (again).
  • baseball-

    easy for you to make that bet now that you're in the lead. Typical front runner.

    Well another Axtroll lie doesn't surprise me. I've been a Yankee fan for as long as I can remember so don't give me this bandwagon crap. I was posting when they were 14 games back. When they went from 4 games back to 8 games back I posted a lot too. I do post more in the second half of the season because frankly it's more exciting and more important than the first half.

    You're sore and bitter because your team is a pretender and has never done a single thing substantial in their history. You lame distraction attempts about alleged bandwagon fans and the highest payroll do nothing but make you out to be the whining cry baby that we all know you are.
  • take the bet ax, take it, take it, take it, take it.
  • I'm not the only one who has noticed the lack of yankee fan postings here when the yanks are in a downturn.

    Please don't insult mine (or anyone else's) in attempting to defend the position that yankee fans are always here through thick and thin, because there are certainly a number of them who are not.

    It would be nice to have good Yankees, Red Sox, Mariners, whatever teams thread to talk about all the great baseball happening.....and done with respect. A little good natured ribbing is fine but most of this disrespectful stuff is just out of line, IMO. I am a Marniers fan, I am not happy with the last week of play, but there is the month of Sept left. Any fan knows there are a lot of twists and turns in the season. I can see why some other very respected former CU posters have decided to just leave the CU forums and go to other forums where members respect one another's allegiances and opinions. I am not blaming anyone in particular, I am just posting an objective observation.

    I really enjoy the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry too and I think it will come down to the wire. I think all the division and wild card races are interesting. I also think we are still in for some surprises by the end of Sept. I, for one, can not wait to enjoy it, however it ends up. If my Mariners do not make it because they are a pretender and have never done a substantial thing in their history, that is fine with me....I still am a fan and I really enjoy my team.

    Name these alleged comrades. Allow them to speak for themselves.
  • back on track,

    huge series for the M's this weekend...they have to win this series against the blue jays.

    Nice to see Adam Jones get his first home run yesterday as well.
  • Nothing new here. Axtroll is all talk, and can't back up anything he says. (Yawn)
  • 7 straight losses image


  • << <i>7 straight losses image >>



    And they're still only one out of the wild card race. How pathetic are the yankees right now, that the team behind them has stumbled to 7 straight losses and they still can't open a lead? The yanks just swept boston and they still can't clear Seattle by more than a game? Throw in the yanks just got BEAT DOWN by the worst team in baseball 9-1, with supposed phenom Hughes getting shelled.

    And you wonder why I hate NY and their fans?

    << <i>M's roll again, yanks continue to forget how to win...gotta love rolling in to september with a 3 game lead in the wild card and only a game back in the West.

    Should be a really interesting month. >>

    ---- Posted by the TROLL on August 25th

    Interesting, is it funny that NO GAMES have even been played yet in September? Rolling into September with a 3 game lead? Ummmmm and that is now a one game deficit in a matter of DAYS. DAYS .... Yet the TROLL will spin any god damn thing no matter if it is the COMPLETE oposite of things he says days or weeks ago. He will go on about how pathetic the Yanks are for just having that one game lead????? ..... just mere DAYS after thumping his chest about "ROLLING" into September with a 3 game lead? Then he talks about WHY he hates NY and its fans!? When in fact, the TROLL is LIGHT YEARS worse then even the worst Yankee fans.

    See, its unbelievable that one entity can keep a forum from EVER becoming a top sports talk forum. Yet that is in fact what is happening. What a shame .....

  • << <i>How pathetic are the yankees right now >>





    Not at all since they have the best record in the second half, dummy.


    They were 9 games back in the Wild Card, and now they're 1 game up.


    Keep reading the above sentence until it sinks into your thick head.
  • Softparade, it's great to see you posting again!

    Excellent troll analysis as ususal image
  • Yet despite nearly a $90 million discrepancy in payrolls, the M's are only one game back of the yankees.

    Despite 3 losing streaks of 6 or more, the M's are only one game back of the yankees.

    Despite a patchwork pitching staff, the M's are only game back of the yankees.

    Despite having to play tons of makeup games due to April rainouts, the M's are only one game back of the yankees.


    It's comical to see the yankee 'fans' desperately trying to defend their team, when it's indefensible. The yankees not only have the highest payroll, but then go out and dump $28 million on a mediocre pitcher. For all their bluster about how the yanks are 'going with youth!' because they didn't make any trades dealing young prospects, they forget to add that (a) there were no worthwhile free agents worth trading for and (b) they already signed Clemens and that ridiculous contract.

    M's will be just fine, and the yanks will continue to struggle (9-1 to TAMPA BAY? bwahahaha)

  • Let's see now, a one game hangover loss to Tampa or 7 straight losses as we're in the final stretch? You seriously want to compare these two?


    I recall very vividly in the past how you used to criticize the Yankees for not having any home grown players anymore. Now that we're doing something about it you're still not ok with it.

    Of course it is defenseable. The ironic thing here is that the CONSTANT droning and droning and droning and crying and crying and crying about payroll is based on nothing of any substance. The NY Yankees play by the same rules as everybody else and do nothing wrong. The Mariners ownership have MORE money then George Steinbrenner could ever dream of having. Because they choose to not pour in more cash is their decision. So, what this boils down to is sour grapes, and jealousy. Thus, causing behavior FAR WORSE then any Yankee fans alleged beahavior.

    Oh, and the Yankees have a very good crop of promising young guys here and coming. To debate THAT is "indefensable"

    The better the Yankees get the louder and more obnoxious haters become. The more they say ANYTHING just to try and make themselves feel better. I love it. Its only going to get worse and that is good for the New York Yankees image

  • Stitroll's anger is always directed the wrong way when it comes to payroll.

    Go cry to your owner you giant baby! Steinbrenner wants to win in the worst way. Why doesn't the Seattle ownership have that kind of passion?
  • I get sick and tired of yankee fans implying that Steinbrenner wants to win 'more' than other owners because he spends more. In actuality, he's able to spend more because of owning the YES network.

    What will the excuse be when the yankee payroll is forced to come back down to earth? Will it be because yankee ownership wants to win 'less'? Of course not. To claim one owner wants to win more because they spend more (without looking at the entire picture) is ludicrous.

    But then I wouldn't expect anything more from yankee 'fans'.
  • The probelm with baseball is no salary cap and that is why football is truly the best sport going. I also have despised the yankees because of their no limit spending. HOWEVER after following axtell and his countless other ID'S posting the last 18 months that have been banned. I now, despite living in Washington state despise the mariners and anything else this pathetic poster stands for. Is psa this hard up to let an idiot moron back in to post filth and start flame wars in 95% of their "posts" come on psa get a set and remove this person for GOOD.

    So says the alt ID with 39 posts in 18 months?

    Hmm I wonder whose alt this is.



  • << <i> In actuality, he's able to spend more because of owning the YES network.
    >>



    now thats the stupidest thing i've heard in awhile. He started and owns the YES network in order to maximize his investment in the New York Yankees ballclub. He puts a winner on the field and wants to get as many eyeballs as possible to watch them, so he can make money with advertising and cable system deals. According to a recent Forbes/Fortune magazine article the YES network is actually worth a lot MORE than the yankees ballclub.

    Why is YES so successful? Because its a Yankees network, showing Yankees ballgames, Yankees Classics, Yankeeography, etc. Why isn't the regional channel that shows the Mariners games as successful (or any other regional network, including NESN)? Because those teams don't have the followings nationwide that the yankees do. Thats why the YES network is so successful.

    The Yankees programming is the food that feeds the YES network beast. So how could your statement be anymore wrong?


  • Take your yankee BS and lies over to your yankee thread.

    So the M's lost again, the yankees won. I'd hope with that ridiculous payroll the yankees win 100+ games every year.

    Let's see...M's are paying Jarred Washburn 9.8 million, for what? 9-12 record with a 4.62 ERA. Jeff Weaver? 8.3 million 6-10 record 5.62 ERA. Although Weaver has gone 4-0 in his last five starts. And we can't forget Raging Richie Sexson and his 15.5 million dollar salary, who put together his best month so far this season, batting .238.
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    Axtroll, your team is folding like the cheap tent we know they are, and you can take your whining and crying about payroll to the Marinated's Owners.
  • So even with a substantial 8 game losing streak, the yank-mes are still only 2 up. That speaks more about the yanks ineptness than anything the M's have done (or not). Nobody expected these mariners to compete this year, but here they are, hanging in until the end of the year. The yanks, on the other hand, should be in first place and win 100 games every year. Which team is the bigger disappointment? Even a first grader can pick that one - it's the yankees, and it's not even CLOSE.
  • The Yankees were down in the Wild Card race by 9 games. Now they're up by 2 games. Since you can't add, that's an 11 game swing!. Don't kid yourself with this "we're only down by 2 games", the margin will get much wider from here. It's crunch time, and your M's are folding badly. 2 games up, 2 games down, it doesn't matter for you anymore. The outcome will be the same.

    This is just absurd. How does such a stupid person like Brian Shearon piss so many of us off? Its because of moronic, stupid, brainless, horsecrap barfing of the mouth like quoted above. I mean how dumb does a person have to be to make .... well ..... such a dumb statement? Just plain ol dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb ..... and yes even stupid.


    Let me see 3 games up on the Yankees ..... and now 2 games down after a 8 game losing streak. Hmmmm that would mean the Yankees went 5-3 in that span. That would be .625 baseball compared to .000

    So even after a substantial image losiing streak the "yank-mes" are still onlt 2 up image

    I mean you just don't get more moronic then that. STUPID. Brain Sheraon is a DUMB and STUPID person and so are all of us who let his stupidity piss us off.

  • Softparade, you know what it is? I think you and I and many others already know this: Axtroll's complete blind hate for the Yankees, its fans, and anything to do with New York makes it absolutely impossible to engage in any kind of reasonable discourse with him. No matter what the Yankees do on the field or what the fans say on the board doesn't seem to matter. He will just attack and will do so without ever stepping back to really give any thought whatsoever to what he's going to say. He's a sad and petty excuse for a baseball fan, and a horrible "representative" for the Mariners. It's a shame for everyone here and especially the real Mariner fans on the board because they're good people and good fans, and they don't deserve this crap.
