[Hobarticus]

6. Hey, I'm watching them closely, and not counting anyone out...

It's anybody's title to take. Nothing wrong with a little excitement in the AL east.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

[motely36]

9. I would say I've created a monster

but I know you were a monster before so...

:)

[StopTheMorans]

12. all too true

:D

[dajoki]

146. everybody sucks except the YANKEES

another world series THIS YEAR!! :woohoo:

[Allenberg]

10. It's not so much that they suck

its the fact that they're spending 200 million to suck that makes me happy. :D

[Hobarticus]

11. Is that banner offically sanctioned by the Casey campaign?

It should be!!!

[Allenberg]

13. Heh, no, it isn't

but I'm sure 99% of his supporters would agree. :)

[JohnKleeb]

14. They sure do

Wish we were in first place though, grumble grumble.

[Hobarticus]

16. A little excitement in the AL east is good, for a change...

It's still up for grabs, and it's almost August. Who'da thunk it?

[JohnKleeb]

17. It sure is

Though the cynical side of me tells me we're gonna have a typical AL East finish with the Yanks in first, Sox in second, sigh to see the playoffs again, why couldnt I have been GenX and lived in an era where the Orioles in many cases dominated both the Red Sox and Yankees alike. I still think the Orioles can make the playoffs but the way they play sometimes breaks my heart.

[Hobarticus]

23. Don't write the O's off...the wheels haven't come off yet

Best I'm hoping for is third for my Yanks, to be honest. They can't keep it together, too streaky.

As a fan, I'm enjoying this. It's competitive and exciting. It sucks for my Yanks, but hey, that's baseball.

[JohnKleeb]

26. I know, its just cynicalism

Yankee fans shouldnt be disappointed and act like its the end of the world they if they miss the playoffs, damned bastards have won more series than my guys have won division titles in my life. I want the Orioles to win a world series since theyve never done it in my life and I would love to see it, I would even go to Baltimore for the parade, and above all it would get us a little respect which is something I hardly ever ever see them get. It would also be a really nice irony if they do since one of Mussina's motives for leaving the O's was that he thought he could get a ring in New York. I still miss him as our ace, resent him for leaving but understand its part of baseball.

[Hobarticus]

53. Nah, it's not the end of the world, just a season...

There's always next year. I'm not that rabid. Dynasties are boring.

For the record, I would like to see the O's go, for Palmeiro. Not so much for Sosa, but an O's title would cap his year off nicely.

[JohnKleeb]

54. Thank You

It just gets boring, you guys have been finish first and the Red Sox since 98, and until last year it was the Jays in third place year in and year out too. Sure its great for you guys to always make it but when your fave team hasnt made it since you were 10, you get upset and yes resentful, I have to admit, I attribute my dad for my hating of the Yanks, hes an olde time giants fan and well 1996 with Meier didnt endear me to the Yankees. I jsut want the playoffs either as the division leader or the wild card, doesnt matter who else makes it.

[Hobarticus]

58. Sports loves and hates are indeed passed down...

My uncle was a huge Yanks fan, he turned me on. Funny how that matters so much to a kid.

Give 'em hell, O's. Make 'em earn it.

[JohnKleeb]

59. I will tell you this

I get mad when both sides of the Yanks-Sox rivlary try to bring politics in to it, like the Sox fans saying the Yankees are like republicans because of their spending habits and greed and the Yanks fans countering by bringing up Schilling. None of that matters to me, I paid attention to sports long before I knew what a democrat and republican was. I dont like the Yanks I Admit but I can respect fans who are true to the team and root for them because they actually believe in teh team and arent some bandwagon jumper.

[Hobarticus]

67. I agree, that IS bogus...

Schilling can do whatever he wants off the mound, I don't care. I respect him for a player, but I really don't give a damn what he or Jeter thinks about politics. Just play ball.

Baseball's supposed to be one of those things you turn to to escape the real world. Why taint it?

[JohnKleeb]

69. I paid attention to baseball before I did politics

So I get upset when people bring politics in to it. I guess I am hypocritical, Ill like it when I find out my fave players may share my political views but I wont damn them if they dont. I dont like Angelos' owning of the Orioles but outside of baseball, hes a great guy.

[WeRQ4U]

74. Yeah, my thread last week got REALLY political

I didn't intend for it to go that way. I did bring up the spending habits but immediately people clamored to call Yanks fans Republicans. Hell, if your allegiance to a sports team determined your political affiliation, we'd all be screwed.

[JohnKleeb]

80. I dont even hate or dislike Yankee fans in general

I dislike the asses who all they do is brag about 26 championships blah blah. Yank fans arent bad people, many of them are just like you and me, people rooting for their hometown team, and I respect that. I hate the Yankees a lot, believe me but I believe if I had been brought up in NY or Jersey, I would be a fan and if my dad had been a fan. I dont see the need to bring politics in to it, hate the Yankees because they break your team's heart, or are your rival, or have something like Meier happen to you.

[WeRQ4U]

83. Couldn't agree more.

If you're not a Yankees fan, it's your DUTY to hate them with a passion. Because they win too much. It's not complicated.

;-)

[JohnKleeb]

88. For sure

Its hate with principle haha, I dont hate their fans though, sure Ive had my encounters with arrogant ones but there are arrogant fans for every team, though its hard to find an arrogant devil rays fan.

[WeRQ4U]

72. You know, one of the main reasons I don't like the Yanks is this...

I don't like their style of ball. And that goes for every big ball club. I like Twins baseball. I like the strategy of hit, bunt, single, RUN. I like manufactured run scoring. Of course, I would be crazy to say that I don't wish the Twins had at least ONE big bat (which they don't), but I don't enjoy a game of homers and doubles. It's boring.

[JohnKleeb]

73. I like a mix honestly

Power and Manufacturing. I like guys who can hit out of the park but I like a guy who can run too.

[WeRQ4U]

I wish the Twins had just ONE big bat.

We have nobody. They havne't had a person hit over 30 homers since Kent Hrbeck. That's pretty sad.

We do have Justin Morneau. I think he'll hit 40 in a year sooner or later, but right now, in his first full season in the majors, he's struggling badly.

EDIT to spell Hrbeck

[JohnKleeb]

82. Wait what about Torri Hunter?

[WeRQ4U]

87. He's not a big bat.

Amazing with the glove. Bats right around .280. Can steal bases and leg out doubles. But he only has like 120 or so carreer home runs. He hasn't hit more than 24 EVER in a season.

When I say "big bat", I'm talking like, lets see...........DAVID ORTIZ!!!!!

Damn you Big Poppee, why weren't you dominant like that when you played for us? He was an allright player with us, now you can't pitch to him.

[JohnKleeb]

117. How the heck was he in the derby then?

[WeRQ4U]

120. He was an all-star in 2002 and he hit 29 all year.

I was wrong before. He hasn't hit over 29 in his carreer, not 24.

Needless to say, he shouldn't have been in the derby, he only hit 3 dingers.

He did rob Bonds of homer in that game though, my favorite all star moment.

[JohnKleeb]

121. I do remember that catch, it was awesome

[motely36]

78. I agree...

I would much rather watch a pitchers dual than a slugfest. Although I know a lot of people think that is boring. :crazy:

[WeRQ4U]

81. It's a matter of preference.

To each his own. I like defense.

[Hobarticus]

86. Pitching and defense wins games...

Baseball 101...if you can't appreciate a drum-tight D, baseball gets old in a hurry.

[WeRQ4U]

15. Scourge of the earth !!!!

Twins for wildcard!!!!

[JohnKleeb]

18. If the O's dont make it and the Twins do as the wild card

and the Yanks win the division, count me in as a twin fan.

[WeRQ4U]

31. We'll gladly welcome you to the flock.

And I'll join forces against anyone playing the Yanks at that time.

[JohnKleeb]

34. The story of my life since 1998 is to root against anyone

who is playing against hte Yanks in the playoffs. I like the Twins even though they took that series from us earlier in the week, and I heard Gardenhire's tirade on the ump, it was funny as hell.

[WeRQ4U]

35. He's got a temper. And he was pissed off after that game.

I'm still waiting patiently for the annual Chicago White Sox collapse. It might not happen this year, but they've done it before.

[JohnKleeb]

36. Well

We'll do our best to humiliate them a couple times on national television, get you guys back some room, and maybe get ourselves closer to the top of the division. We played em pretty well in Chicago earlier in the year, before Javy got hurt.

[motely36]

39. They'd have to have a huge collapse

Aren't they like 12 games in front???

[WeRQ4U]

42. 10, and dropping.

Was 13 4 days ago. And they are playing Boston for the next two days, while the Twins play Detroit. Plus, the Twins play them 13 times yet this season. It COULD get interesting.

[JohnKleeb]

43. Maybe you guys could do what hte Giants did do the Dodgers in 51

[WeRQ4U]

48. Possibly, that was 13 1/2 games wasn't it?

I read about that pennant race. They went on a 16 game winning streak or something like that and the Dodgers played under .500 during that same stretch.

[JohnKleeb]

50. Yeah you would need something like that but hey it happened

The day Bobby Thomson got the shot round the world was also the day Sonny Corleone died, of course that was fiction also.

[JackDragna]

19. The Yankees are awesome.

Not because I actually want them to win for their own sake, as they normally beat the hell out of my favorite team, but I love it when they humble all the jealous fans (like the ones posting in this thread for example). EVERY team in baseball would be the Yankees if they could afford it. That's why I wasn't overcome by the "magic" of the Red Sox overcoming their "curse": give a ridiculously high-payroll team enough chances and they'll eventually lay the golden egg. To heck with all the baseball fans who hate the Yankees because they're jealous of how the Yankees are just that much better at winning in baseball's insane system of overpaid players. :)

[Hobarticus]

24. Well said, well spoken...n/t

[WeRQ4U]

33. Meh

Tired, lame, incorrect.;-)

[Cush]

20. Jets suck! Yankees suck! Knicks suck!......Krypton sucks!

[JohnKleeb]

22. Rangers Suck! Islanders suck!

hey ya forget hockey.

[motely36]

25. Is hockey still a sport?

:crazy:

[JohnKleeb]

27. Yeah but shh I am not supposed to believe that

and it definely existed as of 1994 since I played amateur that year, remember it since I was on the way to practice the day I hit my eye on a fence.

[youspeakmylanguage]

21. Sucking sucks...

Suckity suck suck.

[stopbush]

28. Yankees Suck World Series Trophies and League Championships.

Just wanted to get THAT out.

GO YANKEES!!

[JohnKleeb]

29. and had the biggest choke in history last fall

and havent won a series since 2000.

[stopbush]

37. A choke taken in stride, BTW.

Remind me - when did the birds last win a WS?

[JohnKleeb]

40. 22 years ago, didnt look like it was taken in stride to me

and explain to me what Meier did in the 1996 ACLS wasnt fan interference. Anyhow I am just trash talking for the sake of it, but I dont resent the Yankees like I used to, I just think its ridicious how they have to get a big name every single offseason.

[StopTheMorans]

30. 200 million dollars for a bunch of overpaid assholes with no soul

who aren't even allowed to decide on their choice of hairstyle or facial hair. fascists...

[JohnKleeb]

32. wait you cant choose your hairstyle or facial hair in NY?

Well there goes my chance of ever being a pitcher with them, not that I wanted to anyhow.

[youspeakmylanguage]

38. Steinbrenner has military-like grooming rules...

...with exceptions made for high-dollar redneck pitchers.

[JohnKleeb]

41. Hes a great pitcher but why on earth are they paying him that much

[WeRQ4U]

44. Because they can.

His numbers aren't that impressive anymore. If I was to go after any high-dollar geriatric, it would be Roger Clemens.

[JohnKleeb]

46. Seemed stupid to me at the time

They're paying him what you pay a Cy Young Award Winner in his prime not a former Cy Young Winner at the end of his career, Nolan Ryan pitched till he was 46 but he wasnt winning 20 games, thats what I hate about the Yankees that they do shit like this, it just smacks of arrogance.

[Hobarticus]

47. Because they can?

Lessee...I can play for a team who can pay me more than any other team in baseball, or I can play for a middling team that can pay me less.

Decisions, decisions...

[WeRQ4U]

51. We're not debating HIS decision. We're questioning THEIRS.

Of course he'll go to whomever is going to pay him the most money. The question asked is why the Yanks would offer an aging strikeout pitcher, who has lost some of his strikeout ability, that much money when they could go after young pitching instead.

[Hobarticus]

55. True dat. They aren't thinking long term, these days. n/t

[JohnKleeb]

57. See thats why I really dont like them

At least the Yankees of the 90's would have nice bit players like Brocius and Co, but no George has to have his little all star team, its just pathetic to me.

[Hobarticus]

61. I don't know what the grand strategy is...

I wish I could say that he's getting old school talent to fill the gaps while he's courting young 2-3 year players, but this season doesn't even resemble that. Who knows. Gordon and Rivera aren't going to be able to bail his all-stars out forever.

[JohnKleeb]

62. The guy you got rid of to make way for Giambi is becoming a star

Hes not a power hitter like Giambi was but Nick Johnson is doing well in DC.

[Hobarticus]

63. Just spreadin' the love...

He is doing well.

[JohnKleeb]

64. You know if Giambi hadnt gone on that hot streak

Sal Fasano would have more home runs than him, and Fasano was gonna be our starting catcher for Ottowa.

[Hobarticus]

68. Giambi...

"Streak" is right. His career in a word.

[JohnKleeb]

70. I honestly think it was a mistake to go after him

Looked great at the time but apparently it wasnt. Trading Soriano was stupid too.

[WeRQ4U]

77. They'd never admit it, but that was one of the worst trades ever

And I say that because they didn't get anything for the short run. And that's how Yankee baseball is run. Small ball clubs would have demanded TONS of prospect minor leaguers and an immediate contributor instead of a potential superstar. But that's how the Yanks work, and this time they got beat.

[JohnKleeb]

85. Theyll admit it eventually

Soriano I think could become the greatest power hitting 2B ever.

[Hobarticus]

89. Agreed. n/t

[JohnKleeb]

91. Because of that

I like to think we got the best double play partners in the division, Tejada and Roberts, prides me even more since Brian is home developed, and the decision to trade Hairston and the others for Sosa will I think not be remembered by Sosa but by Roberts coming on to his own.

[WeRQ4U]

93. Hell of a tandum. Just for fun lets compare it with the Twins'

Nick Punto to Boone
Juan Castro to Boone
Luis Rodrigues to Boone
Micheal Cuddyer to Boone

The names remind me of the beginning of the movie "Major League" when the Asian dude says "Who the fuck are these guys?" lol

[Hobarticus]

95. How is Sosa?

Don't hear much of his hijinks anymore. Or is he injured too much?

[WeRQ4U]

97. Not having a good year. Benched for a while.

Ouch. Don't wanna bring up the roids issue, but...............sorry

[JohnKleeb]

99. Its ok

I dont think theyll resign him so this will be like the year we had Reggie, a one year only deal.

[Hobarticus]

102. No kidding?

interesting...

[JohnKleeb]

104. Yeah I believe hes a free agent

I believe Reggie went to NY the year after we had him and thus a legend was born.

[Hobarticus]

108. Oh gawd, no...George, back away from the Sosa...

I can see where this is heading.

[WeRQ4U]

109. lmfao

heheheh.... didn't you have Tony Womack playing in Left for a while? Maybe a position change for Sammy as well.

[Hobarticus]

111. Now you're just being mean. n/t

[JohnKleeb]

113. Hah trade ya him for Mussina

Mussina would look good in Oriole orange and black again.

[WeRQ4U]

114. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo

If they are going to send Mussina anywhere, it needs to be out of the American League. He KILLLLLLLLLLS the twins. They've won once in like 20 starts. It's aweful.

[JohnKleeb]

118. Yeah but I want him back

Maybe Boone for Mussina ;).

[Hobarticus]

124. A three-way trade, yeah, that's the ticket...

[WeRQ4U]

128. Hell, I'm down

I'll take Sosa. If he hits 25 in a year, I'd be happy. But he'll have to DH. We don't need outfielders.

[Hobarticus]

134. Outfielders like him, you mean...

Let him run out and do his Chicago pre-game victory lap...then he can sit down until it's his turn to bat.

[WeRQ4U]

136. Darn right. And if he sucks, he gets benched for Matt "Babe" LeCroy

That's a kick in the shorts right there.

[Hobarticus]

138. WeRQ4U, you have a heart of stone...

But I'd love to see the press conference, afterwards.

[Hobarticus]

116. You guys are giving me nightmares, now...

This is just the kind of thing that George jumps on.

[WeRQ4U]

126. maybe I'll send GS a memo clearly delineating his plight in Baltimore

You could trade jeter for him. he's getting old anyway right?

[JohnKleeb]

130. We dont want Jeter

We got the best shortstop in the league.

[WeRQ4U]

135. Two letters

DH lol

[Hobarticus]

137. Throw in lots of phrases like "undervalued player"

and "just begging for another breakout season", and Jumpin' George will bite.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

131. OOh HELL no

You back away from Mussina or there will be consequences! :grr:

[JohnKleeb]

139. You mean him finally getting a perfect game or twenty wins

He'll get a series ring in Baltimore in his homecoming. He was a better pitcher for Baltimore than he ever has been for the Yankees.

[Hobarticus]

100. Well, ya have to.

It's gonna come up.

[JohnKleeb]

98. Agh

He plays but 230 with only ten home runs.

[Hobarticus]

101. I really think he's his own worst enemy...

Watching him come unravelled the last couple of years was hard to take. Can't blame everything on Dusty.

I'd hoped going to the O's would reset his head. I hope he gets healthy and gets it back together. He's a better ballplayer than that.

[JohnKleeb]

103. I think you could be right

What sucks lol is in my PS2 game he was the MVP.

[Hobarticus]

107. At one point, he was Mr. Baseball...

A few years ago, if you'd have asked Joe Sixpack to name a player, he'd have said "Sammy", but damn. Who wants to be remembered for being a dick?

[Hobarticus]

79. Every time I hear "Soriano's at bat", I cringe...

They dump more talent, needlessly.

Steinbrenner has big eyes, deep pockets, and a short attention span.

[WeRQ4U]

90. Well put.

That one's gotta hurt. The Twins woudl DIE to have a second baseman with a bat like that. But alas, we now have Brett fuckin' Boone.

I just hope he stays above Mendoza for the year. Jesus.

[Hobarticus]

94. Always see Boone named as "former All-Star second baseman"...

He fell flat...what happened?

[WeRQ4U]

96. Not sure. Probably depressing from playing with Seattle.

He was unstoppable with the Mariners in 2001 and 2003. He hit 37 homers in 2001.

He's lost his confidence I think. He's a career .270 hitter and averages over 20 homers so you KNOW the guy can hit, and he's won the gold glove umpteen times, so you know he's good on D.

Maybe the change of scenery will help him... he did get two RBI's last night on two singles with men on. Maybe he'll come around.

Sad part is this, even with his .235 average, 7 homers and 30 RBI's, he's outhitting the other options at second for the twins.

[Hobarticus]

105. Seattle IS depressing...

Maybe it is just the change of scenery. It would suck to put up some numbers like that, and then hear "thanks for playing, we have some nice parting gifts..."

[WeRQ4U]

106. That was my though.... and here's the last kick in the pants .......

You get traded for a player to be named later, or cash.

That sucks. It's worse than Jerry Rice being traded for a seventh round pick.

It's like saying, we don't care WHAT you give us for him, we just want something.

They did the same thing with J. Olerud.

[Hobarticus]

110. Yeah, that's an ego-slayer, alright

Especially at his age.

[JohnKleeb]

56. Yep

I understand Johnsons motivation perfectly, I just think what the Yankees did was stupid, oh and Nick Johnson is developing nicely in Washington, he says hi.

[stopbush]

45. BoSox: $121 million for a bunch of overpaid whiners

who like to dress up like working stiffs...like Johnny Damon can't afford a haircut and a shave on his lowly $8.2MM a year.

That's a pretty big payroll for a team that delivers every 84 years, and then only when the Yankees screw up.

[StopTheMorans]

52. the Yankees: what have you done for us lately?

Yankees fans live in the past; all that matters is the present. presently, the Yankees are 1.5 out of first. Frankly, I don't give a shit what happened 80 some fucking years ago in sports history, my parents were even a twinkle in their parents eyes. Let's go Red Sox!

[stopbush]

75. BoSox fans obsess for 80+ years over "The Curse of the Bambino"

but you don't give a shit about what happened 80 years ago?

Well, I'd say that's progress! :)

As far as Yankee fans living in the past - that's easy to do when the past and present are so glorious. Unlike other major sports franchises (think the Cleveland Browns) the Yankees have continued to deliver over the length of their existence. Living in the past as a Yankees fan is an assurance that the past will become the present, rather than a longing for long-gone-and-never-to-return glory years.

As far as the Yankees being 1.5 games out of first in JULY, I seem to remember a year where they were 14 games out a little closer to the end of the season. Can you say "Bucky Dent?"

Let's see if the BoSox can repeat this year, or even in the next 5 years. I'll give them props if they do, but one WS win in 83 years does not a dynasty make.

[WeRQ4U]

112. Bucky "Fuckin" Dent

Hilarious. Hack by day. Bosox killer by night. lol

[youspeakmylanguage]

60. The Sox can afford their payroll due to dedicated fan support...

...which means a hell of a lot more when your prospective audience (television and live) is a fraction of what it is in NYC.

As far as Damon's hair is concerned - at least he's creative with his appearance, as opposed to the Stepford Yankees.

[stopbush]

65. Re: Damon's hair and the "Stepford" Yankees.

Why demean only the Yankees? Do the majority of bb players look like the unkempt Damon, or do they look like the Stepford Yankees? I'd guess that 90% of MLB players have adopted the clean cut look that you seem to think makes them automatons.

And what's creative about looking like an Australian's nightmare?

[youspeakmylanguage]

66. It's fine if they make that decision on their own..

...instead of having it forced down their throats by a tyrannical owner.

I have shoulder length hair, a goatee, and I often only shave once a week. So bite me.

[Hobarticus]

71. Forced down their throats?

It's called a DRESS CODE. Most people have to comply with one, to make a living.

And long hair=creativity? Yeesh, try harder next time.

[youspeakmylanguage]

141. I never said long hair=creativity...

...I said that having long hair could be considered being creative with your appearance. From what I've heard him say and write, Damon isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the scoreboard. But he does what he does very, very well.

[stopbush]

84. Hey, I wish I had shoulder-length hair, but the family genes

kicked in about 5 years ago and I don't want to walk around looking like the 1990s version of Gallagher.

As far as the Yankee dress code, I doubt that any of them are complaining about keeping trimmed when they're being paid those obscene salaries. Maybe George gives them the option: dress code and big salary, or "creative" appearance at league minimum.

142. You're right, I doubt any of them are complaining...

...but it's still a ridiculous rule.

Luckily I work in a relaxed office environment, but someday if and when I get a better job, the hair will have to be cut and shaving will have to become a daily occurrence. I'm not looking forward to it.

92. What about Mr. Mattingly?

That guy looked like the lead singer of Three Dog Night when he played.

115. Yankees rule and here is why...

They have on their team the passion, the love, and the voice that is...

Make sure and check out both sides. Sleep tight.


p.s. I am, actually, a Yankee fan, but I love showing people this. Why Yankee haters don't blow it up to poster size and take it to games is beyond me.

127. >speechless

I don't know quite how to respond to that.

[WeRQ4U]

132. Pardon me... I have to take a shower now. I feel dirty.

Thanks for that.

119. They suck?

26 World Series later...

If "sucking" gets you to be within 1.5 games of the leader in the AL East, then sucking works just fine and dandy for the Yankees.

"I always knew growing up that I was gonna play professional baseball. I mean, thats all I ever talked about. The most important thing is, I want to be remembered for being a Yankee. You either love us or hate us. I love playing at home in Yankee Stadium in front of the greatest fans in the world but I also love going on the road and people booing us and hating us. The bottom line is... when you compete, you wanna win. I live for this." - Derek Jeter
