    To translate:

    I (Da or The Kid) got his plan four the last season at Yankee Stadium. He's definitely going to the home opener as well as the last regular season game. Yes, I said regular season game played at the stadium. What do you think there aren't going to be postseason games in the Bronx?? Wake up people, LOL.

    It should be interesting how Joba handles the new role with Hughes?

    Welcome to the league. It's easy, you'll get it once we start playing. Just look over the rules briefly and draft well.


    I started reading them...:confused:...how do I know who to pick...I have an idea of who I want but what if someone picks who I want..can people in our league pick more that one person....and is it just us picking between the players or everyone in the world with a fantasy team picking.....


    those were my main questions:)

    oh no,
    I will say a prayer for him. My dad had scar tissue after he had chemo. Hopefully that's what it is for Bobby.

    It works just like a real draft. The 12 teams in our league take turns chosing a player for their team one round at a time until the rosters are full. Once a player is drafted, he is on that team and can't be drafted by another team. However, you can release players and pick up new ones from the waiver wire throughout season or make trades with other teams. You aren't "stuck" with the original team you draft.
    On the night of the draft (about 30 mins before the draft) there will be a link on the league home page that you click to enter the draft room. It really is simple. You will catch on quickly.

    Igawa gave up 4 runs. 1 hit. 2bb and a hit batter in 1 inning. And Chamberlain, Kennedy and Hughes each got 2 k's.

    "cy" igawa gave up a grand slam to a college kid who was playing in his first game since 2005 (due to a major shoulder injury).

    the yankees looked good today. 9-3 win over the phillies.

    wang looked alright. he wasn't as sharp as i would like to see, but the results were there. 2 IP, 1 H (a ryan howard double), 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.

    shelley duncan went 2-3 with a HR, 2B, and 5 RBI. a-rod, betemit, and jesus montero also hit HRs. montero's was to the opposite field. that kid is strong.

    harsh criticism of torre and guidry:

    http://www.northjersey.com/sports/yankees/16100902.html
    He doesn't get in people's faces. He doesn't do fiery team meetings. He operates on trust, believes in self-reliance. The Yankees unwittingly took advantage of the honor system last year; everyone seemed too comfortable, especially after failing to win the World Series for the seventh straight time. Even Torre's supporters in the organization admit Joe's stewardship had become too casual, evidenced by his naming Ron Guidry as pitching coach. "It was obvious all [Torre] was doing was taking care of a buddy," said one Yankee inside. "Finally, we have someone here [Dave Eiland] who knows what he's doing."

    :eek:

    I agree with most of the article, but not about torre naming Guidry as pitching coach to "take care of a buddy". It's not like Torre and Guidry go way back. The extent of their relationship was probably just spring training, when Guidry woudl be a special instructor. I think the Guidry hiring actually came from above Joe's head. That said, I think Eiland's going to excellent. I've been hearing great things about his work on the farm for a few years now.

    i have to say, i really like this speedy outfielder brett gardner. he has a double and a triple so far and just scored a run.

    now this is a bit off in the future but when damon and abreu are done, an outfield of jackson, gardner and cabrera could be something.

    Well hopefully Tabata will replace either Gardner or Cabrera in that outfield.

    Fighting Hellfish Posts: 3,175
    If all goes well, I can see an OF of Jackson, Gardner and Tabata in 2009, maybe 2010.

    Gardner's the quickest, so CF for him. Leadoff also. He's been called a Juan Pierre who can walk type player. To me, watching all these kids come up, and play a huge role on teh team, is so much better than signing top free agents. I hope this keeps up.
