    Suzyn Waldman? isn't she that whacko that nearly wept when clemens said he was coming back? Also the same person who went postal over the end of the Torre era?

    Not to mention her baseball commentary skills are extremely limited.

    yeah, she is from boston.

    what pisses me off even more about her, is she does the islanders too.

    i despise the islanders. when you combine the two... i want to go postal.

    "Extremely limited" would be about 7 steps up from where she is. She should strive to one day be "extremely limited"

    looks like AJ Burnett is becoming a bit of a Yankee killer. In his last 21 innings, he has allowed 13 hits and three runs and a .183 batting average.

    I know he wasn't awful but I am just done with Mussina. He has that worried lost look in his eyes constantly. I don't think there is a hitter in the majors that fears him.

    I'm getting ready to call for Shelley over Matsui too. Matsui not the same since breaking his wrist.

    A little something out of damon's bat would help too.

    i always said bringing back mussina was a huge mistake. i love the guy. i'm in his corner... but he is just awful now.

    he is an aging breaking ball pitcher who tops out at like 89mph. when he is not on (which is pretty often), he is leaving slopping breaking balls over the middle of the plate, that are just getting crushed.

    you are right, i don't think there is a hitter in the majors that fears him.

    Riiiight. I'm the biggest Yankee hater there is and that is just about the stupidest thing ever.
    A team that has a $200 million+ payroll is never going to be a one man going for a record.

    Yeah because a guy who hits .320, 50 and 130+ really is a bad thing to have on a team....
    They haven't won because of pitching, not an MVP

    I am a die hard red sox fan....

    We'll take A-Rod. They guy is gonna hit 50 fucking homers, drive in about 140-160, and hit .320. I wouldnt be suprised if he wins a triple crown before hes done.

    Get on base for the guy. Put pitchers in situations where they have to pitch to him. The guy is probably trying to hard with nobody on and two out.

    Remember he hit the homer when down by 5 to make it close. Thats where the other guys have to step up and get a hit.

    They guy appears to be smug and appears to be a jerkoff, but the guy can play ball.
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    i dont know shit and i do think its boring as hell


    tis true they dont have enough pitching (mussina is not a #2 anymore)

    but i really believe arod is a curse

    yes he can play and put up all those numbers you've mentioned

    but lets see it in the clutch...until i see that .... yours
