    It was a hard hit grounder. Sometimes you get a bloop hit. Other times you hit it hard and it's right at someone.

    Hughes is listed as Monday's AAA starter. That's also the day the roster expands. He could be the started for the Detroit game. His last 2 starts against them weren't great. But I would like to see him back.
    might as well
    we need to start seeing why we kept him and didnt pull the trigger on the Santana deal
    Aah, fuck it, I’m just gonna go home, turn on the fuckin’ TV...

    I think they're going to send him, Joba and Kennedy to the Arizona Fall league to increase their innings. Otherwise it'll be the same next year with how many innings they're allowed.

    interesting.
    those rules still apply on how many pitches theyre allowed to pitch? I thought it was only for like their first yr.

    They pitch a certain amount of innings a year. I think they increase it by 40. Last year Joba was reaching his limit. That's wy he was brought up to complete those innings in the bullpen. This year he was going to be allowed to throw about 140ip. Which is why started out in the bullpen earlier this year. Then worked his way into the rotation. But since he won't make those innings this year. Then it's going to be the same next year. Unless he pitches in AFL.

    WOW! I never new things were that bad as far as A-Rod being clutch. It's horrid for the amount of money that's paid and guaranteed to him.

    Man I'm so glad the Sox didn't trade for him but then again if he had come to Beantown I think he wolud have played great. Maybe even a couple more WS but then again I would be hoping and a praying for that. :)

    In thinking of totally what if scenarios, I was thinking what if the Yankees kept Soriano at second, used some fill-in at third in 2004 while Boone was hurt and then traded Robinson Cano in a deal for Josh Beckett and Mike Lowell. I guess they might have had to include Wang in that deal but back in 2005 with Soriano still on the team, that might be a smart deal.

    True, but could you have imagined the 3-4-5 for the Red Sox being Ortiz, A Rod and Magglio Ordonez from 04 to now. Because getting Ordonez was the second part of the A Rod trade for Boston.

    true, that'd be pretty impressive but what if the Yankees didn't jump in. would a-rod still have gone to Boston after the whole thing with the players association not wanting him to re-structure his contract.

    The Yankees jumped in after the Red Sox trade was complete but rejected by the Player's union. A Rod was going to be a Red Sox if the player's association didn't step in December 03. The Yanks didn't trade for him until February 04.

    I'd say that if the Yankees did not jump in and grab him, he would still be in Texas. remember, after the Boston deal fell thru, they had that pomp and circumstances ceremony naming him captain. They were all in tuxedos. I think that was Texas way of trying to patch things up, though I'm sure Boras had a hand in setting that up as well

    That's what I meant. If I remember correctly, if the Yankees didn't jump in he was going back to Texas.

    WHAT IF

    A-rod just never existed....the whole WORLD would be a much better place
    no drama, no wasting money, no mass media attention

    I just wish I could go on the rest of my life without hearing that fucking name again. Unfortunately the sad reality is its never gonna happen. His name is gonna be as popular as any baseball legend for ...well....just about eternity :mad:

    Yea he caused all wars. Bush getting elected. The stock markets to crash. Creed to become a band. Only two day weekends.

    By the way he has 4 rbi's. But I guess it doesn't count cuz they have 11 runs. In an 11-8 lead.

    What are you, the President of his fan club?

    A-Rod Sucks. He's the biggest jinx and most overrated player ever.

    No. But I don't think it's fair that he's the only one being picked on. Don Mattingly is my favorite Yankee of all time. And everyone would say the same about him. Had he been playing now would you treat him the same way?
