Will do! I became a fan in the mid-late 80's because of Donny Baseball, and had some awareness of Martin and the previous teams, but I was really too young to understand it all. This team has so much history behind it.
I remember being a 10 or 11 when they were so bad and thinking how could a team that had Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Berra be so fucking bad..

I think the AC Yanks left town sometime around 1994, so I missed a few of those players. I do remember Bernie though...got his autograph on a card. I think I remember Deion Sanders passing through.

I went up to an Albany-Colonie game when I was in high school. Probably 1990 or 91. Met a whole slew of players from the yankees and the Orioles AA team, the Hagerstown Suns. The highlights were Bernie and Mussina. Very cool place to see a game

oh wow! taking it back old school
thats when I moved to NY, the 80's..and we sucked bad...Steve Sax,, Matt Nokes, lol what about Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens??
Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...
Watch the nightly news and drink a beer...
Like I could even change the world, yeah right...
************************************
I remember slightly deion sanders getting into a fight with carlton fisk during the summer of 89.
deion came to the plate and made a $ (dollar sign) in the batter's box and fisk didn't like it. i remember that too.
i didn't watch the 8th or 9th, but looks (sounds) like the yanks squeeked out a win.
i can't imagine that the o's would have been playing back in the infield (or if they were, why) with 1st and 3rd (melky) and one out, even with the chance of a double play. then again, i didn't see the play.
Great Yankee weekend! Boston is going down the tubes. Forget the wild card...we're taking the whole thing. :cool:
if the yanks play .700 or .750 baseball the rest of the way, yes, they will win it all...and by all i mean the al east. not the ws. but to be completely honest i (and probably some of the yankee fans in this thread, at least the semi-rational ones) don't see them playing like this for the rest of the season.
the thing is, the sox aren't playing terrible. i think we're 4-5 games over .500 since the all-star break and we've won a large majority of the series that we've played in, but the yanks are on fire. no, they are molten lava hot. as a team they are batting something insane like .329 as a club which is obviously ridiculous.
the pitching we got from daisuke (7ip, 4h, 1er, 7k), beckett (8.2ip, 8h, 2er, 8k) and schilling (6ip, 0er - 2nd outing since coming off DL) was awesome this past weekend. if the sox (er, gagne and the overall terrible hitting with risp) had swept the o's or even took 2 of 3 there wouldn't be this "the sky is falling" and "it's 1978 all over again" retarded mentality with the weak minded idiotic red sox fans and the local media jumping all over and it drumming up a story. yanks fans know how dumb local media can be when it comes to baseball coverage. they hit 8 hrs but a-rod doesn't hit his 500th. i mean, come on.
*** EDIT *** saw the highlights last night and there was NO way roberts was throwing anyone (even giambi or bengi - i mean jose molina) out at home. jeter put the ball in a just about perfect spot. *** EDIT ***
They only have to play .750 ball if the Red Sox play .720 ball. The Yanks can play .530 ball and win the division if the Sox play .500 ball. There's also a bunch of games left between the two teams. Remember August 2006?

i understand your logic, but that's a dumb way of thinking. to just say "a .530 winning pct the rest of the way" and sort of just expect the yanks to do it.
also, remember that the sox team was hammered with injuries in july, august and sept of 2006? that's no excuse to get swept in a 5 game series, i'm just saying.
it will be fun with both teams at almost full health to go head to head for 6 games that mean something (not that the other 13 this season didn't, just too early in the season).
Looks like the Yanks have decided to rest Clemens and he wont pitch until Saturday. So we still get a great match up tomorrow night:
P. Hughes vs. E. Bedard
Wish ESPN was carrying that one tomorrow night. Damn you Peter Angelos! O's games are blacked out here on the baseball package unless you have MASN which is not available on cable, only satellite. Was watching last night's game unfold via ESPN News. O's by the way are playing good ball. Every since they dumped their manager they have played well. Back to back games they cause Gagne and Mo to blow saves. That's not exactly a couple of chumps (although Gange has looked bad since coming to Boston).
Oh well, we can't win every one. We'll come back tomorrow.
I don't know how I feel about Joe taking out all the regulars, its like he waved the white flag kind of early, no?
yea he always does that. In a way it rests the guys for the day game tomorrow. Since they're going to play non-stop this whole week. And I thnk next week too.
Baltimore OWNS us!!! The new Angels.
Its pissin me off.
16 shut out innings. 15-0 the in those innings. Pathetic. Looks like team of May.
7 more K's for bedard. 2 errors.
Jeter looks like he's from hunger lately.
At least sox losing again too.
