Any predictions on how he'll do tonight? I have no clue...his problems are all in his head, IMHO.

1. No one? I think he might do ok...he got out of working most of the season...
..he's our Japanese version of Manny and now with a play-off run, he might decide to try. I also think he'll be shopped around after another season or two.

5. They spent a lot of time on him and his fragile ego...
...and no, I never said he looks like a hippie...so there's no Tim L comparison.

3. Tough call -- his return is against the Angels
I imagine America's Bedeviled team could have waited for an easier opponent, though if he can shut down Anaheim through five or six I can't think of a better confidence booster.

8. We've already determined what they are.. Eastern New England's Beloved Team.
Of course you are probably losing fans to the Bridgeport Bluefish!!

All anyone talks about around here are the hated Red Sox and the SF Giants. :wtf:
The Yanks should be the talk of the baseball world!

Yeap! The New York Yankees are owned by a convict.

28. Interestingly, the Cowboys owners have won five Super Bowls without
being owned by a convict!

31. Space for convicts is reserved on the team roster
:hi:

By the way, I'm picking the Dallas Convicts -- er, Cowboys -- to cover the spread this weekend.

...can we hope they lose all the rest of their games?

Two rings this decade and you guys are still bitter and unsatisfied.

29. Martyrs?
Bitter how? Unsatisfied? Isn't the goal in the majors to win the WS every year?

Unless the team is the Nationals. Then the goal is to finish under .400.

Besides a first place team shouldn't be doing something sooooo stupid as starting fights like that. But, that's the kind of class the Yanks bring to the field.

32. Were the Red Sox not involved in an incident involving
the Tigers recently in which Kevin Youkilis was suspended for something like five games?
I know Boston hit and injured Cabrera. So the unwritten rule in baseball is you retaliate. But Youkilis can't be a man about it and charges the mound. And it's the Yankees who lack class? Typical Boston fan.

33. Is that the same
Youklis that had gotten hit in every game in that series with that team?

But anyway, if Youklis tried to elbow the pitcher because he simply got pitched inside, I'd say that lacked class, yes.

35. Funny, but I remember a Roid Rager, named Roger Clemons tossing
a broken bat at Mike Piazza for no apparent reason other than all the roids flowing through his brain.

30. If you want to look for martyrs, try the San Francisco Giants. They have
never won a WS in San Francisco, and it's been 55 years since they won a WS, and that was in NY! I assume that being a Yankee fan, you continue to hate the Giants and Dodgers!

34. I already addressed Upton who is another jerk about the
Yankees. But Giants fans are light years away from being the whining martyrs Boston Red Sox fans are.

36. Upton is a jerk??
:wtf:

He may be a fan of team that has not won a world series in 55 years and some other silly quirks, but I would not consider him a jerk.

37. I said he's a jerk about his arrogant opinion and comments
about my team.
I did not mean to make it sound like he's personally a jerk, because I don't feel like he is.

38. I don't really recall Upton making any derogatory comments about the Yankees.
Edited on Wed Sep-16-09 07:02 PM by madinmaryland
Upton is a fan of a National League team, which has never played the Yankees in their history in San Fran.

:shrug:

39. Yes, we actually hosted the Giants in 2002. We also beat them
in the 1962 World Series.
And Upton did go off on my team. But that's cool. I'm used to it.

41. Interesting that you would remember that! I had remembered some
of the earlier series. Seriesly!

When did Upton go off on "your" team? Just seems a bit odd.
