bjorn_skurj Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 It is worth noting that the true Yankee knocked in the team's only run to this point. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I am going to bed. If the Yankees are not eliminated when I awake, I will be scared. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Arod's going to get run out of town and unless the Yankees seriously find some pitching (like, Hughes is a stud next year and they find another top of the line starter) they aren't making the playoffs. They don't make the playoffs this year without him either. Link to post Share on other sites

Duck-Billed Catechist Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Johan Santana's going to be one rich righty.They're going to pay him extra to switch dominant hands? That's the opposite of moneyball. Link to post Share on other sites
bjorn_skurj Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 That merely speaks to how valuable he will be in the free-agent market! Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 The undeniable "True Yankee" position players, Jeter and Posada, had a truly awful series. I guess that's appropriate. Link to post Share on other sites

Mystik Spiral Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Damn. As much as I love to see the Yankees lose, I do feel for Torre. How difficult it must be to show up for a press conference knowing that you're probably out of a job tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites
boywiththorninside Posted October 9, 2007 Author Share Posted October 9, 2007 Damn Yankees. Time for some changes. At least I won't have to see anymore Frank TV or Dane Cook ads. I wish the final four luck. May the best team win. (probably Boston, right?) Link to post Share on other sites

Steinbrenner is not as bad as he used to be, but he's still major league a-hole. Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn's dad Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I think you're the only one harping on that. The guy put up one of the great seasons of all time. He played on par with everyone else in the playoffs and the pitching was what unraveled them. Steinbrenner already said they're going to resign him, whether that's posturing or not we'll see soon.

Sir Stewart Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Damn Yankees. Time for some changes. At least I won't have to see anymore Frank TV or Dane Cook ads. I wish the final four luck. May the best team win. (probably Boston, right?)I'm pretty sure the Dane Cook ads are MLB-sponsored, so they'll continue through the rest of the postseason. Unless, waitaminnit - are you saying you're going to stop watching just because your team is out of it? Link to post Share on other sites
Spawn's dad Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 I certainly won't be staying up late to watch the games. Many of these start way past my bedtime. On Torre: I don't think he was ever coming back next year. I think the Yankees job has been Girardi's (sp?) since he turned down the Baltimore job. There's some talk that since he was tight with Zimmer Steinbrenner won't hire him, but I think that's way overrated and his success in Florida plus his obvious Yankee history wins him the job over even Mattingly.

Sir Stewart Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Typical Yankee fan. I remember minutes after Aaron Boone's moonshot, thinking "Well, at least now I have a chance to watch the Yankees lose the World Series." Kidding you though Gary - I wouldn't stay up late for games my team wasn't involved in either. Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn's dad Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 and into Boston where they'd write the exact same article if he didn't go 18-20 with 14 home runs? that's the price for being one of the highest paid people on the planet. Keep wishing folks but he isn't going anywhere. Steinbrenner wants that all time home run record to be held by a yankee again. Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 of anybody to laugh at the Yankees defeat it shouldn't be a mets fan. You guys should still keep your heads down for a while. I think you meant to say: 26 World Championships baby!!!! EDIT: come on. Yanks fans openly and vocally rooted for a mets collapse and got it. Yankee fans got plenty of licks in. And then the Yanks ended up playing a whopping 4 games more than the Mets. I think some good natured chuckling is in order. Link to post Share on other sites
