A-Rod hit two A-bombs today and is 2 away from 50 on the season. Yanks won 10-2 and now lead the WC by 3 games.
do you think you're still in the race (east, obviously)?And to top it all off the sox lost 3 runs in the last two innings to lose to toronto.
Its unlikely but until it becomes mathematically imposibleit does us no harmfor the sawks to lose.do you think you're still in the race (east, obviously)?
Okajima coming back down to Earthsox shart one tonight. we took two out of three so that's okay and we're up against baltimore this weekend. I had a feeling okajima would start to get a lil shaky towards this time. that's why we got gagne I guess. a-romosexual hit two beaners tonight, what a douche.
Pavano had like one good year and suddenly he was the top of the FA class. The Yanks would have been better off to retain Contreras for another year or go after Clement or some other middle of the road starter.Pavano: Hasn't work out but he was the best pitcher in the FA class
Wright: 99% sure that was an Steinbrenner move.
Johnson: Steinbrenner move
Brown: Was coming off a great year in LA. He was soild in his frist year in NY
Farsnworth: Hasn't work out
He was the most sort after pitcher in that fa class.Pavano had like one good year and suddenly he was the top of the FA class. The Yanks would have been better off to retain Contreras for another year or go after Clement or some other middle of the road starter.
Like I said it was a Steinbrenner move. I thought we were only talking about Cashmans moves here.Wright has been eratic and injury-prone wherever he's gone. Stupid move.
Not really after the season he had just pitched. But again, I don't think Cashman would have done this move if Steinbrenner hadn't pushed him.Johnson was past his best. Losing to the BoSox after they had tried to trade for him that July probably forced Steiny into this move. But it was apparent that Randy was past his best.
Yes, bad move by Cashman.Brown wasn't worth $18m... no matter how good he pitched. He was also nearing age 40. Big risk, little reward. Turned out a shit deal. Though they did rid themselves of Weaver.
Cashman made a bad move here as well.Farnsworth is a joke. The guy had like 2 good months in Detroit and was suddenly the "best reliever on the market" (in Steiny speak).
His also the first Yankees to hit 50 home runs in one season since 1961.ARod is phenomenal. Two more homeruns. MVP wrapped up. At this rate he'll be the greatest hitter ever.
They're going to move him down to 1B someday.And Jeter... at this rate, and assuming he can play into his early 40s, he may reach 4,000 hits and possibly get near Rose's record. Don't forget - Jeter could be a full-time DH if his range is limited at age 40 and beyond.
Like Ernie Banks, who played more games at 1B than SS.They're going to move him down to 1B someday.
He used to pitch ALOT more back in Japan. Some people in the media (Verducci) were orgasmic over him before he had even pitched a ball. Months later though he is having a good season for a rookie its hardly the definite HOF material we were led to believe.Jeter is a loyal Yankee and one of the best players that has ever played on the club. you should enjoy every minute of him. a-rod is having an amazing year and will lock up the mvp but don't slobber all over him just because he is making the big bucks in the bronx... he won't be playing for you forever.
Jeter is great but what is to say A-Rod won't end his career a Yankee.We can pay him the most money, we can offer his the biggest stage to play on. The fans are warming to him. he has everything he needs in NY.
meanwhile, for those of you bashing dice-k (tabata), he has never played in america, he has never played this much in one season, and he has 14 wins, more than pettitte or mussina or clemens etc.... so let's see how he improves. surely in 2009 he'll be doing slightly better than rocket. boston still has the east. no need to gloat yet. BITCHES.
What's Rocket got to do with Dice-K sucking it up? Right now his looking like a bit of a bust for the money you payed for him. The Yankees are only paying $17m for Rocket. The Red Sox are paying $100M for Dice-K!meanwhile, for those of you bashing dice-k (tabata), he has never played in america, he has never played this much in one season, and he has 14 wins, more than pettitte or mussina or clemens etc.... so let's see how he improves. surely in 2009 he'll be doing slightly better than rocket. boston still has the east. no need to gloat yet.

A-Rod may stay, he may not. We'll find out this offseason. IMO an even better fit for him would be LA (same big stage, payroll). If I were a Yankee fan I would still be cynical about him not producing when it really matters, but since he's having an amazing year again, I suppose he has a shot to prove himself this postseason. I would speculate (and I think many others would too) that if the Yankees get bad results in the playoffs, then A-Rod will be offloaded somewhere else.He used to pitch ALOT more back in Japan.

Bitches.

He'll never have nothing on Clemens, the greatest pitcher of his generation and arguably in the top 5 of all-time. You better clutch those straws and hope Dice-K is pitching better than Clemens in 2009 (as the latter will most likely be retired at age 47).Jeter is a loyal Yankee and one of the best players that has ever played on the club. you should enjoy every minute of him. a-rod is having an amazing year and will lock up the mvp but don't slobber all over him just because he is making the big bucks in the bronx... he won't be playing for you forever.

oh well at least we're straight. call me crazy, I just like to know where the bias lies when I talk to someone about sports.I've mentioned on here before... I'm from Texas and rooted for the stRangers growing up. I'm a traditionalist so the old school clubs will always have my respect. To be honest, baseball bores me now days. Then Yankees are like a reality show and that is the only thing that keeps my attention to the sport until October.
well there's been plenty of thoughts that he would leave, but maybe they were derived from how poorly nyy was as a whole in the first half of the year. but if, say, they drop out of the playoffs in the first round, the same sort of discontent will undoubtedly lead to the possibility of an a-rod exit. I can't think of where else he would go; surely not Boston?Another home-run for A-rod, another win for the Yankees.
@ Noy No way is LA even close to NY as a baseball city and no way in hell will A-Rod get as much media coverage as if he stays with the Yankees. Also I doubt the Angels are going to pay A-roda salary that dwarfs what they are paying Vlad right now.
yeah, that was a shite play. I think the fenway crowd all standing up might have distracted him. bummer for him.Talk about luck for Boston there. The TB right fielder totally misplayed that ball. Should have been an out.
can't wait to see how this weekend series plays out. don't think it will have much effect on the rest of the year or the standings, but it's time to take this cnut off his pedestal.Joba gave up his first run because of an error by Rodriguez. Unlucky.
