    << <i>Just a note about Sexson and why the Yankees picked him up...

    vs Lefties, Sexson is hitting .338, .600 SLG, and a .429 OBP

    his numbers vs righties is nothing less than dismal. It will be a rare occurrance when he hits against a righty in a Yankees uniform. If he keeps up with those numbers, he will be a real threat against the LHP.

    His has 3x more at bats from the right side. I guess we'll see how accurate those numbers are vs LHP. If he doesnt perform against the lefties, you can be sure the Yanks wont hesitate to release him. >>



    Here's another note -

    The worst team in the American League is paying him $15 million dollars to not play for them.

    These same Yankee fans got excited about Shelley Duncan last year about this time too.
    Let me remind you of one undeniable fact. You guys are stuck with Mr. Choketober as you open your new stadium.
    Years and years of futility are ahead of you. You can pin your hopes on Shelley Duncan, this Seattle reject, and every other
    Johnny come lately, but the fact is you are stuck with Arod and his pathetic leadership for a long time to come. That's all.

    And a quick note for the blinded and gullible Sox Nation fandom

    Your beloved and sacred Boston Red Sox are one of the WORST road teams in baseball. Yet you all drivel on about how much better you are then the Yankees or Rays? image

    We'll see how long you ride the Sexson bandwagon before you turn on them.
    I think it's funny that all the Yankee fans are talking smack after winning a few games.
    Most of the Sox fans have been here all season whether they are winning or not.
    Lots of baseball to be played and it will probably go right down to the wire.

    A competition to see who can post the most responses while tending to young children seems rather ridiculous, IMO.

    Red Sox fans sit very comfortably knowing that your superstar hits about .100 when it really counts, while our
    superstars hit well over .300 when it counts. Just try making it to the postseason first, then you can worry about
    Mr. Choketober putting yet another dagger in your hearts. That's a 250 million daggerimage

    Quite simply I mean this.........

    2004 Boston vs. New York (a.k.a "The greatest collapse in baseball history)
    AROD hits .258 MANNY hits .300

    In the 2004 World Series MANNY hits .412 (Arod is seeking pyschiatric help for his inability to "perform"image)

    2005 playoffs AROD hits .133 as the YANKS lose to the ANGELS
    2005 playoffs MANNY hits .300

    2006 playoffs AROD hits .071 as DETROIT beats the YANKS

    2007 playoffs AROD hits .267 against Cleveland (but it was the Canadian soldiers fault image)
    2007 playoffs MANNY hits .375 against the ANGELS, then he hits .409 against CLEVELAND, then the Sox sweep Colorado.


    So, what I meant is that MR. CHOKETOBER (a.k.a AROD :nervousimage will put another 250 million dollar dagger
    in Yankee fans hearts as he chokes again this year when it counts, as he has in the past, and will many times in the future.

    ENJOY A-CHOKE Yankee fans. Glad he's yours and not ours image

    And how is it that the Yankees have seen only disappointment since 2000 image Do yourself a favor Paul, don't set the bar soooooo high where you think that a World Series Championship is the ONLY measuing stick for success. It might be easy to do that coming right off a Series win but you are setting yourself up for disaster down the road. TRUST ME !

    the NYY are up to their typical post-All Star break antics: you know, winning a whole lot. Dang, I hate them

    Dear Yankees,
    Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time.

    The Yanks bullpen has been as good as it gets for a long while now. Bats are waking up (Robinson Cano) 14 of his last 25 is leading the way. Just like THAT we are 11 games over .500 and heating up. Two series sweeps against Wild Card contending teams ..... taking a MINIMUM 2 out of 3 in Boston and the Yankees will offically be making a bonafide MOVE ..... image

    I welcome the series at Fenway. We are playing better now than we have all year. This will be the chance for us to overtake the Red Sox for the Wildcard lead and who knows, maybe even take over first place in the A.L. East. Bring it!!!

    And here come the bandwagon Yankee "fans" - you could set your clock by them.

    Do you guys actually have Sidney Ponson imageimageimage in your starting rotation?

    I just looked at the starters for the weekend series, and he's one of them. Wow.
