    wouldn't matter if casey Stengal was available. As long as they keep running overpaid hacks like Giambi and Damon out there, this team isn't going anywhere. You can't have a leadoff hitter who's hitting .251, and who doesn't steal bases anymore. You can't put a brick wall on 1st base, and hope he doesn't fuck up too much. Especially when he's hitting .192. It's time for him to either go back on the steroids or join his loser brother Jeremy on the unemployment line. The only way this fraud was ever any good was when he was sticking a needle up his gold thonged ass. The time for major change is here. Bat Damon 8th or 9th, when he plays. Call up Gardner and lead him off. You can't make out the lineup card based on how much people make.

    I know. But I bet if his name was Willie Randolph they'll be calling for his head by now. He should just stick to one lineup for now. Leadoff Jeter and have Cano bat second. Matsui then A-Rod followed by Abreu then Melky, Giambi(maybe Duncan), Damon then backup Molina/Moeller.

    what was the point of making a pitching change to have him start with an intentional walk after he warmed up. you're telling me a starting pitcher can't do that and then be taken out?

    that's what they said in 2005. said it again in 2006. many said it again in 2007, though some were smart enough to lay off, after being burned 2 years in a row. It takes a special kind of person to say it yet again, for the fourth year in a row

    oh shit, you're right, they are a role model organization! I mean their payroll has just done wonders for them. Their farm system is SO paying off.... especially on the mound! They have shut so many people up by continuing to lose early in the playoffs. Tons of teams have gone all the way with a payroll over 100 million. Oh wait only one has done it. ..........twice....... and now the yanks supposed "ace" is sucking.


    ah

    ATTENTION ALL YANKEE FANS.....RELAX

    First of all there are 188 games left, the Yanks will turn it around. They are missing 354 hits and 74 HR from last year between A-Rod and Posada. Granted Posada had a career year last year he is still better than Molina. Cano has been playing much better this month, batting .314 in May. Plus no one is running away with the AL East this season. Compare 2007 and 2008 standings. At this point last year the Yanks were 18-24 and 10.5 games out. Now they are 20-24 and only 6 games out. Baseball is a marathon and not a sprint.

    I don't like this whole 'let's blame it on Joe,' thing. THat's the easy target. He's not out there hitting and it's not his fault A-Rod and Jorge are hurt, and the starting pitching has been spotty.

    Blech.

    you really want to have a farm system discussion?
    Cano, Wang, Cabrera, Jeter, Rivera, Pettitte, Posada, Chamberlain, Hughes (who will be 10X better when pitching with all of his ribs intact, and with his glasses on)

    Lester is 13-4 with 200 IPs with a decent 4.47 era in the majors with a World Series clinching victory. What exactly have Chamberlain and Hughes done yet?

    Chamberlain has pitched a total of 42 IPs so far and lost in the post season. Hughes is 5-7 with an era of 5.51.

    nice signature...

    two yankees references, one giants reference...

    for a non-fan, it seems a little excessive to mention new york sports teams three times in the same signature... doesn't it?

    you don't have to come in here and try to tell us that the yankees are irrelevant. we'll know they're irrelevant when all the "cool kids" like you find something else to spend your entire lives obsessing and whining about.

    but hey, whatever works for you... :rolleyes:

    what's hilarious is the inferiority complex that all Red Sox fans have.You've won 2 WS, (in 90 years, I might add) have won the AL east a very impressive 1 years in a row, and all Sox fans can worry about is The Yankees. You may have noticed that when The NY Football Giants marched thru the Canyon Of Heroes, after defeating Bill Belicheat and his supposedly unstoppable crew of voyuers, not one chant involving the Red Sox broke out. Here, you're inconsequential. In Boston, all anyone cares about are the yankees. And Pedroia and Ellsbury may be decent players, but if winning 1 WS makes them superstars, what does that make Luis Sojo? I guess Eric Gagne, (what's worse, that he gave up Gabbard and Murphy for that douche, or that he was paid $8-$12 million for a weeks of suckage. Pedroia's a little shitstain David Eckstein wannabe. If he were in KC, you frontrunners wouldn't even know his name.

    And that is exactly the reason why the Red Sox won't let him go. I guess you being the baseball historian on the board know that the only reason Eckstein became an Angel is because genius ex-Gm Dan Duquette tried to sneak Eckstein off the 40 man roster through waivers in 2000 and obviously that roster move didn't go through.

    i could use facts (like the insignificant detail that two of the game's best players are currently on the DL), but i prefer logic instead:

    you wouldn't be in here posting like you do if it wasn't already personal to begin with.
