    Yankees have an elimination playoff game in less than three hours and yankees fans are making fun of Arod. ONLY Yankees fans.

    We expect more that's why

    No shit....everyone does. He's one of the best players of this generation. But concentrating on Arod when everyone else sucks and is not even fucking playing is pointless.

    How about pointing to a certain second baseman who is actually in his prime and supposed to be one of the best hitters in the game, right now? Where has his bat gone?

    and Tex.
    WTF is with him?
    won't be surprised if after the playoffs end we hear that he had/has
    some sort of lower extremity injury.

    You're 100% right, he does need to be called out. I hope his performance has given the yankees pause before they hand out another mega deal. It's extremely disappointing what's happened with the bats and after this season I expect major changes to the team as well as some coaches like k long.

    boy ... i wish i had a team that consistently makes the post season which I can rag about not performing in the playoffs ... :lol::lol::lol: ...

    its maybe the coaching too, not giving arod a huge pass....but the whole swing for the fences mentality works great in the regular season when opposing pitchers just try to get pitches over

    lil different now with every pitch meaningful

    Yanks cant play small ball like they did when they began and thru their dynasty.

    Sometimes you get lucky like '09 and everything clicks

    '01, '03 they were dominated by pitching like this year, last and probably next I'm afraid to say

    Still love em, but I'd like to see this BIG $$ die and development take a bigger priority

    Go Yanks

    Yeah, they won't be giving out an Arod contract any time soon. I am extremely interested to see what Cano gets.

    There will be some changes. I expect Swisher and Soriano to definitely be gone. Would love to see Kuroda and Pettitte back. I have been saying no Arod but who knows at this point. Shit has snowballed so I am sure we will hear about it for many months to come.

    They had a top 10 (or around there) farm system coming into this year. Going to be closer to 20 this year with the injuries though. Yankees are always going to spend money. Just have to hit on some other pieces.

    Tough to build through development when you are in the playoffs every year and have a end of round draft pick.

    There was nothing lucky about 2009. That team was a beast. From May on, they were just dominate.

    also ... when you are signing type A FA ... you are giving up picks (although i think some of that changed this year) ...
