    True, but did they even have digital cameras around when the Yanks last won a series. It's been a while. ;)

    stick a fork in us-guys, I think we're done. They sucked. That thing with Giambi was shocking so people should beon his case as well
    but
    I think the intense dislike for A-Rod stems from that he has, is it the highest contract in alll of baseball? Or one of the highest, that's what they pay him for is to come up clutch like that,

    and whiff...he grounds into a dp with the game on the line.


    He sucks. Period.

    Blech.

    Does Giambi's contract runs out after this year?

    The Yankees have an option on Giambi for next year at 22 million. Or they can decline the option and give him a check for 5 million and show him the door.

    I think they're starting to write the check already.

    ok I'll try to stay positive but last night sucked, it was so sloppy! How can we expect to win playing like that? We HAVE to take the next 2, for sure though.

    I saw you were at the game-sweet! I have not been to a game this year :(

    If they benched A-Rod he'd have an even bigger complex and need extra sessions with a sports therapist to get over it.

    it never was a problem for the rangers to bench players for over priced over the hill prima donnas in the late 90's to early 2000

    bench arod in a heartbeat and let him feel good about his money he's earning

    scrub scrub scrub
    thats all he is

    yea my 1st game in yrs..it was fun otherwise..I missed that vibe..just wish it wasnt as frustrating
    oh well

    we diehard so we gotta stick with them till the standings show we're officially eliminated

    31 games left 6 games out of a wild card...how is that impossible? Its not..we done it before, others have done it before and it'll happen again..maybe not for us, but it ISNT impossible

    it was very noticeable how many people headed for the exits after he swung at the masterson sinker for the inning-ending double play. BTW he's 1-for-10 this year with the bases loaded.

    witha grand to total of 2 RBI's in the 8th and 9th innings. But if it's 12-0 in the 7th, look out---he'll hit one on to the Grand Concourse

    after he grounded into that double play with the bases loaded, i could have sworn i saw him smile as he was out at first.

    i was an a-rod supporter, i always gave him the benefit of the doubt. but enough is enough already.

    Melky is hitting .382 with 13 hits and 6 walks in 9 games since being sent down to Scranton.

    Kei Igawa is 14-5 at Scranton. It's amazing that they can't hit him down there because they can't miss him up here.

    ESPN game tonight. Sidney Ponson in HD? Scary thought!
