    I liked it very much, very impressive and good to see Joe G playing for 1 run, playing small ball

    no but it seems this thread gets more comments when things go wrong. we should just use this to discuss the games win or lose.

    b/c he hits home runs
    when he comes up with a chance to give the Yanks the lead, like last night
    bupkus
    he struck out, and went 0 for 4

    that's what I'm talking about, he doesn't come through in the clutch on a regular basis.


    Someone posted his BA with runners in scoring position a few posts up. It didn't suck. Believe me, I am mostly playing devil's advocate here, but the truth is that no matter what the guy does on the field it will never be considered enough. He is judged differently because of his personality/arrogance etc. then other players.

    I should also mention that he has come up small in the playoffs when it really matters and I wouldn't have had a problem with the Yanks not resigning him. See, there ya go. A little of the good and a little of the bad. ;)

    that's, um, democratic :)
    but it's the thread, there are no rules for who/what/can be discussed
    as long as it is about the Yankees
    who are ALL really freaking sucking right about now! Ugh! :mad:

    there's that's equal. Everybody sucks tonight

    what did they do to loose so badly tonight....
  • Fighting HellfishFighting Hellfish Posts: 3,170
    brought in Latroy Hawkins. It was a manageable 6-4 game, which very quickly became a "Good Buddy" game, 10-4. Farnsworth didn't help much wither

    talk about adding flames to the fire - kyle farnsworth and latroy hawkins in the same inning. i'm sure the cub fans on the board have those wonderful memories of that dynamic duo from 2004..

    It has nothing to do with Paul O'Neill. I read he wears it to honor the memory of Roberto Clemente.

    i guess they'll have to deal with it because he's not changing until they retire the number. i see nothing wrong with it to honor clemente.
