WORLD SERIES
Yankees over Mets
Time for my annual how-it-will-happen!
Game 7 Yankees/Mets at the Death Star (Yankee Stadium). Pedro starts for the Mets. Goes through 7 scoreless innings despite incessant "Who\'s Your Daddy" chants. Bottom of the eighth, Mets up 6-0, and the earth stops turning as Willie Randolph trots out Pedro for the eighth. Womack pops out to start the inning. Then Jeter doubles, Williams singles, Matsui doubles and Posada doubles to make it 6-3. Incredibly, Randolph sticks with Pedro... who proceeds to retire Giambi and Sierra. Bottom nine, still 6-3 Mets. Looper promptly loads the bases. Heredia relieves him and strikes out Jeter and Williams. One out away, Heredia gets Matsui to ground weakly to first. But Piazza has it go under his glove, and everyone moves up a base. Now 6-4 Mets and still one out away, Heredia walks Posada to make it 6-5, walks Giambi to make it 6-6, then gives up a grand slam to Sierra and the Yankees win the Series.

Pedro says Red Sox can keep ring
New York Mets ace Pedro Martinez fired plenty of early-season shots at his former team, the Boston Red Sox, in particular lashing out against what he perceives as a trashing of his reputation as a villain during a long interview with the Boston Herald.
“Because I didn’t let Theo (Epstein) or the Red Sox decide my life, my future, I’m a bad man now,” said Martinez, who gave up three hits and struck out 12 but had a no-decision in the Mets\' 7-6 defeat to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. “Judging from what I’ve seen, and what I’ve read and what I’ve heard, that’s how I’m being portrayed.
“I did my job. I think I did that all seven years I was there. Everyone seems to have forgotten about that. A lot of the fans probably remember, but they’re selling me as a negative. I’m not saying all the fans. But some have forgotten.”
Martinez also told the Herald he doesn\'t care if he gets his World Series ring from last year\'s championship team.
“If they want to keep the ring, that’s fine,” he said. “I just know I contributed to that team to win, and I’m proud of it. They can never erase what I did in Boston. Most important, I had a job in Boston for seven years, and I appreciate that. And that’s the most important thing. I had a job, and I did what I had to do in my job. Every time I could pitch, I did. Hurting, or not hurting.”
Martinez also told the newspaper that he understood Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein\'s decision not to offer him enough to stay, but that he didn\'t like how he was characterized as a Boston bad boy.
“I’m not going to take back what I said. I wanted to stay in Boston. Hearing Theo talk today on ESPN, saying they wanted to spread my money around, and keep Jason, that’s a smart thing to do. He could afford to get rid of all of us, except Jason. I can appreciate that, but there was no need to mistreat my name.
“I can understand the business part of it. I can understand, I can live with the business part of it, not being able to afford me, or thinking I’m not that good, but I cannot understand the part where you mistreat my name, or mistreat what I did for the city of Boston because they have to build another image of me.
Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, said that he is enjoying being a Met.
“I think I’m starting to settle in as a player, as a teammate, and also about the way we’re going to play the game,” he told the Boston Herald. “Other parts are yet to be seen, how I’m going to fit in New York. I don’t know how the response is going to be. I’m just really concentrated on doing my job, really giving my team the opportunity I hope I can give them.
“I’m trying to have fun along the way. I’m not going to let the same thing happen to me again, where I’m going to corner myself in Boston, and not have a chance to enjoy the city, and have a response from the people, and let them get close to me.
“I couldn’t trust anyone (in Boston). I was such a big icon in Boston,” Martinez added. “Everything I did, even driving my car, was scary. So I’m not going to let the same thing happen in New York. Boston was so small, everywhere you went, you were recognized. At least here (in New York), I have places to breathe, places I can probably go to the park without being recognized. I’m not going to make myself miserable for the next four years and at least try to have fun, and continue to work hard, like I’ve always done.”
Martinez also talked about the criticism he took from ex-pitching peer Curt Schilling, who suggested earlier that Martinez got special treatment from the Red Sox.
“If it’s more time in the gym, then yes, I got special treatment,” Martinez told the Herald. “I asked Schilling a lot of times to run with me, he couldn’t. I could run distance like nobody on the team. And, I spent a lot more time in the gym than anybody else because I was hurt in 2001 and nobody knows what I did to rehab. So is that special treatment? I’ll give it to anybody else that wants it.”
“Me and Schilling got along really well," Martinez added. "There was never, ever anything bad, or any disagreement on anything. I don’t really understand why the comments came out about my work habits. If anybody knows my work habits, there’s no way to fool anybody.
“I don’t know if Schilling said it, but if Schilling said it, he doesn’t know me all that well. Those are things Schilling should have never said if he said it, as a player. If he didn’t say it, I guess I expect that from the media in Boston.”

Can anyone confirm this "world series champion" thing, I don\'t believe it! I asked on several occassions "are you serious?"

No need to comment on last night\'s incident. Was simply a small altercation that resulted in nothing because Sheff kept his cool, and that security guard who I will name Speedy got there quite quickly. If the same situation happened during a D-Rays/Royals game no one would know anything of it. Yet again the media blows a small incident during a Yankees/Sox game way out of proportion.

Red Sox announce resolution of fan interference incident
BOSTON, MA -- Following a four-day investigation into the Thursday night incident at Fenway Park in which New York Yankees right fielder Gary Sheffield was struck by one fan and doused with beer by a second fan while chasing a batted ball into the right field corner, the Red Sox today announced the following resolution:
1. The fan who interfered with play by making contact with Sheffield while he was fielding a ball in play will have his season ticket privileges revoked for the remainder of the 2005 season. The club will consider reinstatement thereafter. (He will receive full reimbursement upon returning his tickets.)
This action is in accordance with the season ticket agreement to which each season ticket holder agrees. That agreement specifically provides that "Interfering with the play of the game in any way will not be tolerated and will be grounds for ejection from the premises, legal prosecution, recission of tickets, and cancellation of subscription privileges."
2. The fan who interfered with play by dousing Sheffield with a beer while he was fielding a ball in play will be prohibited from purchasing tickets for the remainder of 2005.
"Nearly all of our fans are respectful of the rules of baseball etiquette," said Red Sox Chief Operating Officer Mike Dee, who announced the decision. "We hope this will be a warning to the fans who have the opportunity to sit in the first few rows that our policies against interfering with play will be enforced."
"The Red Sox front office and Major League Baseball Security conducted a thorough inquiry that included, among other things, the detailed reviews of video, interviews with those who were directly involved, witnesses to the altercation, fans who sit in Box 86, and security and police personnel who were in the vicinity," said Kevin Hallinan, Major League Baseball\'s Senior Vice President/Security and Facilities. "Fan interference of any kind is taken seriously at Fenway Park and throughout Major League Baseball."
"Given our ballpark\'s intimacy, we will be vigilant in maintaining Fenway Park\'s comfortable atmosphere," said Red Sox Director of Security Charlie Cellucci. "But interfering with opposing players fielding a ball in play is unacceptable and will not be tolerated."
Post by: Wolfman on April 19, 2005, 08:17:15 am
"We appreciate and respect the decision made by the Red Sox regarding the fan interference matter. However, fans at Yankee Stadium will continue to be allowed and encouraged to throw coins and batteries at opposing players, as they have been doing for decades. We will also continue to support the harrasment of visiting fans by playing "YMCA" during the 7th inning stretch so our fans can sing the traditional "Why Are You Gay." Finally, we will continue to allow our fans to dump beer, tear clothes, and throw solid objects at any non-Yankee fan. We look forward to upholding the great fan traditions in Yankee Stadium."

Welcome back Yankees!
To last place!
What do the Yankees and fine wine have in common?
They\'re both in the cellar!
What\'s the difference between the Yankees and fine wine?
Fine wine gets better with age.
Let\'s review. The Yankees lost tonight to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who were 0-10 in The Bronx last year. The starting pitchers were Randy Johnson vs. Hideo Nomo. You can make a strong case for that being the most lopsided pitching matchup you can possibly have the Major Leagues. The Yankees were at home. They lost because Derek Jeter, their captain, grounded into a double play in the 7th with 2 men on and down by a run, then followed that up the next inning by booting a super easy double play ball that led to 3 runs instead of the end of the inning. This is without question the worst loss the Yankees have had since...since...since Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS!

No Red Sox fan in the world is bitter, believe me! To me the baseball world is a happy flowery wonderland of gypsy sun and rainbows. The bitterness is all coming from the Yankee fans who cannot handle being losers. You\'re all a little bit crazy right now, which is understandable. The Yankees will be fine, we all know that, so in the meantime try not to make horse\'s asses out of yourselves while I point out the facts of last night\'s game.

Man critically injured in RFK fall
Posted: Wednesday April 20, 2005 11:48PM;
Updated: Wednesday April 20, 2005 11:48PM
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A man was critically injured when he fell from the top level of RFK Stadium after the Atlanta Braves-Washington Nationals game Wednesday night.
The 35-year-old man, whose identity was not immediately revealed, fell from a ramp on the 500 level of the stadium, hit several ramps and railings on the way down and landed on the concourse of the 100 level, said Alan Etter, District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesman.
A witness said the man was looking over a railing before he fell.
"He was just standing there," Maxine Lewis told WJLA TV. "All of a sudden, he just lost his balance, fell over. I saw him hit his head on a railing, then he hit his head on a second railing and just fell flat."
The man was flown to a hospital in a U.S. Park Police helicopter, suffering from multi-system trauma.
Police were investigating whether alcohol was a factor.

8/3 vs. Kansas City
Granted Kansas City will most likely be well out of the playoff hunt by then, but the Sox will hopefully be in the thick of it. And Minnesota could have implications going into the stretch run.

Thoughts, Pitchie?

The Sox obviously blew it
The Mets obviously benefited (and should still have Guerrero)
I was wrong
That\'s irrelevant
I\'m not a general manager
And apparently, neither is Theo
Wells is looking good though
And Foulke is so bad he makes Rivera look steady
It was a nice try, Little Sock Boy
It was a massive failure (like the Sox offseason)
But it was a nice try

2. Pedro helped lose Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, a game which Clemens started for the Yanks. Clemens was the losing pitcher in Game 7 of the 2004 NLCS
3. They\'ve both beaned Mike Piazza and subsequently fueded with him through the media
4. They\'ve both won a Cy Young in each league
5. They\'ve both won a World Series
6. Pedro pitches for the Mets and Clemens was originally drafted by the Mets
The main difference: Pedro never used steroids
Post by: Wolfman on May 12, 2005, 08:25:29 pm
Yes Anthony, I am bored. What am I going to do, sit here and talk about the Red Sox winning again? It\'s not news. Getting Pitchie out of lurking to talk about the Mets is much more exciting than talking about another Sox victory. The Yankee victories of late are exciting to talk about given the novelty factor.

And why are you so hung up on Wells? Who cares about him? We got Clement, who has a better record than Pedro, and Arroyo is the next Koufax.

But as long as Clement has a better record than Pedro (translation: one less loss in the second week of May), it\'s all good.
And if he doesn\'t work out, you can always get Tony Fossas out of the convalescent home to pitch to a lefty or two.

I agree with this. However, I am not sure that the D-Rays had the worst record in the majors at the time. It was probably the Yankees at this time, with the worst record. Althought, the D-Ray\'s organization seems to be the worst team year after year, the stats for the Yankees say otherwise. According, to the official statistics of the NYY organization, the first time was in 1937 vs. the Philadelphia A\'s, the second time, 5 years ago vs. the Detriot Tigers and finally, last night.

As for trade rumors, I lack a television and my daily dose of Baseball Tonight and Sportscenter, so I don\'t know what is going on. But the Yankees will NOT get rid of anyone, not because they should keep everyone, but because their jackass owner overpays his players and no teams out there will be willing to take on any of the contracts, plus they have NO FARM system AT ALL!
Just my $.02, Thanks.

Nothing like a homestand against the Pirates, Cubs, D-Rays, and Mets to get a Yankee fan feeling good about themselves. I\'d be more worried that Randy Johnson is OWNED by the worst team in the league than I would be excited that everyone finally decided to hit, if only for one game. Regardless of how many you score, one should never be optomistic when giving up 11 runs to the D-Rays. Lose tonight, and last night never even happened.
it\'s a good thing the red sox are doing soooooo much better than the yankees right now, or we might not be getting Wolfman\'s spectacular pinpoint Yankee analysis. :thumbsup:

Massachusetts has the highest meathead population per capita, so when the Yankees win several World Series titles in a row, they still suck according to all the dumb boys with thick Eastern Mass. accents.

YANKEES SUCK
How do you feel now Yankee fans? You just lost 3 out of 4 at pathetic Yankee Stadium, where nobody is scared to play, to the mighty Tampa Bay Double-A\'s. How many times are you going to get slaughtered by these guys this year? Still rolling in glee from that one inning 2 nights ago? Did it ever occur to you that you scored all 13 runs against a Double-A pitcher who was only in the game because of Lou Piniella\'s personal vendetta against him?
I have 2 pieces of advice to all Yankee fans.
1. Shut up.
2. Run and hide from this thread until next April. No matter how witty you try to be, you can only make an even bigger ass out of yourself. It\'s bad enough you\'re stuck rooting for this disgusting bunch of frauds. It\'s worse that some of you have stooped so low as to be satisfied with losing three out of four at home to the Double-A\'s just because you scored a bunch of runs in one of the games. But worst of all would be to say anything at all right now. Keep a low profile, and come back next year.
Has it occured to you that your "superstars" A-Rod and Mike Mussina are making $7 million more this year than the entire Tampa Bay payroll combined? Or that Tanyon Sturtz, your worst player, makes more than 13 of the Double-A\'s? And you\'ve lost seven out of of ten to these minor leaguers? You should be angry and humiliated, but you\'ve been reduced to such worthlessness after last October that you actually try to sit here and say you\'re happy about one win in four games against the Double-A\'s, at home. Oh my god do the Yankees suck.
The NY logo is now a symbol of fraudulence and failure. Cling hard to the past, it\'s all you\'ve got. You don\'t have shit going for you now, or in the foreseeable future. Wax poetic about the glory days until you\'re blue in the face, until the kids finally roll their eyes at you and walk away. Wax poetic until the day you die. That\'s all you can do now. The rest of us will be rooting for our teams in the here and now.

yup. root away. you are clearly a bigger fan of your team than i (and the rest of the yankee fans, as you say) am of mine. so much so, that your last 6 posts in this thread have been about teams other than \'your\' team. it\'s fun to say you\'re rooting for your team, but when you\'re watching yankee games night in and night out, and catching the highlights of \'your\' team on sportscenter, it becomes quite apparent that you are a closet yankee fan. not that there\'s anything wrong with that. i look forward to the next time the yankees lose, and i can click on this thread to read some more expert analysis on just how \'owned\' they actually got...

This is exactly why, Red Sox fans suck at being fans. Nothing but derogatory comments, nothing that is even worth listening to. It is no new fact that the Yankees are owned by the D-Rays, I could have told you that days ago. What will be interesting is how, at the end of the season, Red Sox fans will be saying, atleast we had a better record then the Yankees. Because, neither of these teams will be around in October.

You should have listened to me. I\'ll say it again: as a Yankee fan, no matter how witty you try to be, you can only make a bigger ass out of yourself by talking.
You want me to talk Red Sox? Fine.
-Just gutted out three tough games for a sweep of Cleveland...on the road. Indians had won nine straight going into the series.
-Won 4 straight, 9 out of 10.
-Tied in the loss column for 1st place in the division.

You can\'t suck at being a fan. It\'s not a talent. And the reason that this stuff comes out is because every Sox fan took it for as long as they have been alive, all year, every year, from the Yankee meatheads. So after 24 more years of giving it back, I will be even. The thing is, Yankee fans talking smack has become so commonplace that everyone just got used to it. You didn\'t go around saying "Yankee fans suck at being fans because all they make is dergoatory comments" before last October. But that was all they did. It was just the norm. But now, of course, you give it to them for 3 months and they whine and cry and squirm and come up with really dumb things to say when they should just lay low and be quiet. It\'s quite amusing.

Look, you are the most mature and intelligent, down-to-earth Yankee fan I have ever encountered. I\'ll definitely give you that much credit. But it was easy for you to say that long, long ago in 2001 when all was rosy and you had no reason to hate anyone. Now look at yourself and your fellow Yankee fans. Squirming, hating, losers, stuck in the past starting from 2000. (I\'ll give you a hint: don\'t talk.) It\'s not lame that I talk trash, it\'s only fair. Like I said, in 23 more years we\'ll be even.
Quote from: Spacey
You Sox fans have no respect for anything. You were saying the Yankees Sucked when they were clearly the most dominant team in baseball years ago.
Again, the theme of being stuck in the past due to terror of looking at the present. What do you want me to do, go to monument park and cowtow? Who cares about that? The Yankees today are frauds and failures and they\'re absolutely stealing your money. You should hate them as much as I do for ripping you off.
Post by: Spacey on June 24, 2005, 10:41:19 am
I for one and the most liberal Yankee fan you will find. I am not living in the past. I was making a point that Red Sox fans use to say the Yankees sucked when the clearly didn\'t. That chant now, I will join in on, because they are terrible. They do not play fundamental baseball. Watch a Yankee at bat and you will notice 85% of the time, they swing at the 1st pitch. Are they wasting my money? No, I don\'t go to games or buy memoriablia. I hate the Yankees, right now, because they wasted their money on trying to revive the old people. I would have had more respect if they said, at the beginning of the year, that we are going to go in a rebuilding mode. We need young talent and they have to grow. The Red Sox, right now, have been playing very good baseball and are much funnier to watch.
Post by: davepeck on June 24, 2005, 10:43:27 am
perhaps the Yankees are just getting a little too comfortable playing with each other.

Wolfman, am I happy about the outcome against the D-Rays this season? Of course not. Am I worried? Yea, but just a little bit. Do I CARE that A-Rod and Mussina make more than the entire TB payroll? Not at all. Do us all a favor and look at the AL East standings. The Sox have a nice streak going and are only 0.5 games behind Baltimore. But can you honestly say that either of those two teams have a \'safe\' lead in the Division when the Yankees and Blue Jays are both within 5 games? A 5 game lead with more than half a season left is by no means safe for comfort, I don\'t care what teams you are, how many \'superstars\' are on the team, how high the payroll is, or how long the average hair length is. But, hey, if you believe the Yankees fans should shut up and wait until next year, can you do me a favor and let me know when, exactly, I should be saying "wait \'till next year", and when this season is over, can you let me know, exactly, when to start saying "This is THE year, this is our year!".

heres how i stand: could care less about the yankees and the sox. persobnally due to most of my family who are all redsux fans i must hate the yankees, however i dont like the sox too much either. point being its fun to rag on my family when the redsux used to lose all the time, but after last season its pretty pointless for any yanks fan to say anything about the redsox again.
as for me im a diehard braves fan have been since worst to first in 1991. and im starting to like the NATS for some strange reason eventhough they are up 2.5 gms on the braves. the NL East is IMO better than the AL East, mainly b/c all the teams are above .500.

sucks that WONG got hurt he was prob there best pitcher. the unit will come around. i mean randy johnson. but al lieter is almost 40 yrs old. i think they yankees need to get younger but they\'ll still get someone useful before the deadline. well at least the yankee fans hope so

yeah your telling me. this is their yr though. after they win a tough bl east battle their young guys willl be prepared for the post season. hampton goes tonite vs. the mets. he been on the dl most the yr. chipper be back soon. with all their injuries this season they have really played well. if it wasnt for that one game vs the NATS when they call Brian Jordan HR a foul Ball they braves would be in 1st

I still don\'t think disillusioned works here. We are not deprived of a false concept of reality. We know and understand and accept the state of the teams being. Besides, we are only 1 1/2 games back and Baltimore can take the top spot again with a win tonight. Better watch out ;)

good job on merging the two.
Leiter = not the answer
if he wants to live, he will throw a gem. All he has to do is keep the Yankees in the game. I am pretty sure a parapalegic could have farted a ball out of his ass better then Redding pitched. I know girls who could have lasted more innings.

Well it seems like Fox will have (and has had) the World Series for the next 300 years. Its bad enough listening to Joe Buck during the fall classic, but to also have to listen him for an occaisonal football game as well.

Here is another Q that needs an A. Why does Jon Olerud wear a hard plastic helmut at first, I noticed he has done this with all the teams he has played with. Did he try starting a new style and it never caught on or is it because he has hard balls thrown at him all day?
Post by: davepeck on July 18, 2005, 12:26:48 pm
Quote
Olerud’s choice of headgear stems from a near tragic incident he endured during his college years; while attending Washington State University in 1989, Olerud suffered a brain hemorrhage and an aneurysm during a morning workout. Though he recovered, doctors advised him to wear a protective batting helmet while playing first base or pitching (he was a two-position player in college), in order to protect against line drives and collisions with baserunners that might result in contact with the skull.

Remdawg knows the club better than anyone and just the game better than anyone really and like you said hes sort of a dummy but he is a just an average guy you can relate to and not at all elite jerk off like the fox guys. And to answer your question about paying for good seats, well Fenway is an old ballpark and some seats will give u a sore neck because your seat does not face anywhere near homeplate, while other seats (quite a few really) are just completely obstructed by a thick green pole. Don\'t get me wrong i would take a seat anywhere in fenway for any game just cause of how much energy and emotion is crammed into that little ballpark every single game. Plus the new additions on Fenway are so ser their stu! Right feild concourse is sick and Monster Seats!?! come on!

If you can, why not? If I could afford it I would always have good seats. If you can afford it, it\'s absolutely worth it. You don\'t have to pay a ton to have good seats though; in most ballparks if you have a somewhat decent seat you can see most of the park without having to turn your head. It sure is nice to be up close though....Quote from: antbach

The Yankees are definitely making the playoffs, don\'t worry. Only 1.5 games out in the wild card and the team to pass is Oakland, who is really the team falling apart. So you\'re PWN3D by the Devil Rays, what can ya do? For the rest of the season you\'ll beat up on everyone else not named the Red Sox.

It would certainly be unsettling, but just remind yourself: 24 out of 36 at home to finish the year. The Sox will definitely make the postseason one way or the other. Come October 4th, say your prayers.

First they pick up the bum, Alan Embree a pitcher who sucks. Even if he does in anything in NY he will always suck. And now the Yankees signed Mark Bellhorn (http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20050830&content_id=1189719&vkey=pr_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy)
This is kinda crazy. What gives?
The yankees think that if they take what they can from the soxs, then the\'ll play harder to beat them. I do agree that they both suck(Embree more so than Bellhorn),but i\'m glad there gone.....I fell for you Yankees fans

And there wouldn\'t be anything better than Sox/Yanks, game 7, top of 9, tie game, 2 outs, Ortiz at bat, bases loaded, and he gets struck out swinging by Alan Embree. The Bellhorn leads off the 9th with a walk off homer. . . Imagine the look on Sox fans faces!

Not at all. They are the perfect spies...bad enough to be cut, but good enough to be picked up and see playing time. Nobody else could pull it off. Theo is a genius.

yanks/sox today was one of the best i\'ve seen. brilliant performances by both Johnson and Wakefield. i have to admit i almost turned it off in the 8th when Torre didn\'t send Johnson back out.. definitely more drama than i needed in the 8th and 9th, but that\'s what helped make it such a great game..
Agreed.
I was sort of nervous with Riveria on the mound in the 9th. Ramierez was the first Red Sox to reach 3rd base all day. It is tough to way Mariano on the mound in close situations like that, especially after last seasons fall apart. However, both pitchers had a great duel going. Thank goodness for Giambi\'s homerun in the 1st.
I believe that makes the season series 9-7 in favor of the Yanks.
I think the division might be coming down to the Yanks/Red Sox at Fenway for the last 3 games of the season. Who could ask for anything more?

That he has. I think his career is almost over, IMO. I believe he is closing in on 40 years old. Which isn\'t really old given the age of a lot of athletes these days. But, I just don\'t think his arm is a strong as it should be.
That being said. The Yanks head to Devil Ray country and the Sox head to Blue Jay territory. Both of these clubs (Tampa Bay and Toronto) have had the better of these two teams. Really, this end of the season is shaping up to be historic, as if the Yanks/Sox needed anymore history.

the most dominant closer in the history of the game has saved 37 out of 41 games this year.. what more do you want from him?

I want 41 out of 41.
I want less stress when he is one the mound. I don\'t want a repeat of last seasons mishaps.
All it takes is him to blow that 1 important game and 37 out of 41 won\'t matter. At this point in the season the Yankees need every win they can get. While he may have lost a little on his arm, he still has done a very fine job at what he is suppose to be doing. Perhaps, I must be directing my comments towards the offense that really needs to put some insurance runs up and not get him into those situations.

I never said replace him. I simply said that his career IMO is coming to a close. I am sure he has a few more years in him, but his dominance in the last couple of seasons is beginning to deteriate. There once was a time when they would make a call to the bullpen and you knew the game was over, now I don\'t feel/see that.
I doubt anyone can reduce the stress that I have when watching the Yankees play. That like I said before, needs to come from an offense that puts up some insurance runs. Right now, there are 3 pitchers who have more saves then Riveria, Cordero (44), Wickman (39) and Hoffman (37).
Post by: davepeck on September 11, 2005, 09:19:52 pm
Cordero: 44/50 = 88%
Wickman: 39/44 = 88.6%
Hoffman: 37/39 = 94.9%
Rivera: 37/41 = 90.2%
Rivera also has the most strikeouts, lowest ERA, and fewest hits per innings pitched out of everyone you mentioned. the yankees haven\'t been involved in many close games this year on either side of the ball, which is why Mo doesn\'t have as many saves as the other guys, and that\'s what makes it a moot point..

NL Overall standings:
1.St. Louis
2.Atlanta
3.Houston
4.Philadelphia
5.Florida
6.Washington
7.San Diego (@ .500)
San Diego Shwagres for sure.
but in all honesty, im just giving you a hard time for kicks leith. i agree, you win your division youre in, id be celebrating if the cubs had a 5 game lead at .500, but they dont so ill make fun of your team out of envy.
and yes, this home stretch is insane. i hope florida takes over the wild card, probly wont happen though. the AL is f-in crazy right now. crede\'s dong in the 10th tonight was HUGE, boston and new york both win.. its basically a four team race between Boston, NY, Chicago, and Cleveland to get there with one team waiting to bite the dust. the Chi-Sox have the best record, but i have a feeling Cleveland is going to sweep the last series and take over. i dont even want to predict the East, but my personal desires point to:
East: Boston
Central: Chicago
West: Oakland
Wild Card: Cleveland
funny thing is i could go 0 for 4 here. i love the hunt for October.

The Yankees will beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park to clinch the AL East. At the same time, the Indians will lose to the White Sox, clinching the wild card for the Red Sox. There will be SIMULTANEOUS champagne celebrations in BOTH locker rooms at Fenway Park, one room with the Red Sox, one room with the Yankees. The Red Sox will be having a champagne celebration right after they lose to the Yankees, at home, and lose the division.

The last time the Pads went to St. Louie they took 3 of 4. How many wins does it take to move on to the nxt round? That\'s right 3.
I\'ll take Peavy, Eaton, Lawrence and either Woody Williams or Pedro Astacio over the Cards pitching right now. Not to mention a bullpen w/ Otsuka, Linebrink and Hoffman. The Padre bats are hot and they have come from behind to win in a few games the past week or so. They are hungry and despite their record this team did show it can win when healthy as shown by the 22-6 record in May. They are healthy now, the second season begins Tues. Bring It!!

The last time the Pads went to St. Louie they took 3 of 4. How many wins does it take to move on to the nxt round? That\'s right 3.
I\'ll take Peavy, Eaton, Lawrence and either Woody Williams or Pedro Astacio over the Cards pitching right now. Not to mention a bullpen w/ Otsuka, Linebrink and Hoffman. The Padre bats are hot and they have come from behind to win in a few games the past week or so. They are hungry and despite their record this team did show it can win when healthy as shown by the 22-6 record in May. They are healthy now, the second season begins Tues. Bring It!!
yeah, and who have they played in the last couple weeks leith?? thats right, their division, by far the worst in baseball. i believe they played their division for most of May also. bats are gonna go limp, pitching will faulter.
LOL man you are bitter. Well to you and all the other Haters. Waaaahhh! Why not jump on the below 500 teams in the division that really suck. We won it fair and square. Oh and when the Padres move on to the next round pls do not disappear from this thread. PLEASE?

I can see why you would want the Yankees to win AL East, but why do you care if the Sox win the Wild Card? Why do you care if they\'re in the playoffs? NY will beat them anyhow.

Because the world does not need more bloody socks beamed right into our homes. Because the bosox suck
Because it would be nice to have a change of pace and have Cleveland in the playoffs.
Because the bosox suck
Because it will be more fun to watch The Angels and Indians play.

Why? Because without the Sox in the Playoffs there is less drama and stress to deal with in the ALCS (pending both make it there), cos as they proved last year they are never down and out.

Nope. If Boston is in, they are the wild card, and thus must play the team with the best record, who would be the White Sox. That leaves the Yankees to play the Angels. The Angels are masters of ser Yankee ownage. If I were a Yankee fan, I would much rather see the White Sox.

his contract is up after this season. he hasn\'t announced any plans to retire. probably has a lot to do with how this season ends for him. he may come back next year as a back up center fielder.

If it makes you feel better, I highly doubt any of the Yankees gave a rat\'s ass about this game. And way to spit on the greatest Yankee outfielder since Mickey Mantle on his way out. You just clinched the AL East yesterday and Bernie is one of the greatest Yankees of all time, and all you have to say today is shit about Bernie Williams? Yikes. I\'m afraid to see what you\'re gonna say when they lose to the Angels.

But the best part of last night was watching Cabrera, who the Red Sox dumped after he helped them the to title (i.e. Pedro) drive home the winning runs against the Yankees, while Renteria, who replaced Cabrera, failed to do so with the tying on in the ninth against the White Sox. Then again, Renteria more than made up for it with his 30 errors.
It makes sense: you snap the greatest curse in the history of sports and then you break up the team. Of course you do.

However, I was raised an Angel fan and will die an Angel fan. I know my priorities. The question was poised in jest of course on who I would root for if the 2 were in the Series, w/o hesitation I said" Fuck the Padres". That\'s that.

Face it Yankee fan, your franchise is a huge joke. Let\'s go over some undeniable truisms, shall we? Brace yourself, the truth hurts. If you can\'t handle the truth, I suggest you leave for another thread now.
1. The Yankees are the most underachieving team in pro sports. Dave, I\'ll hold on to my Red Sox 2004 DVD, sure. Do you know why you cannot hold onto your Yankees DVD? Because it doesn\'t exist, because the last time the Yankees won, VHS was still 100 times bigger than DVD.
The Yankees have the biggest payroll in baseball every year, yet they have less success than teams with 30% of their payroll. The Yankees are the most inefficient franchise in all of sports. Year after year it is proven that it is possible to be successful in Major League Baseball with payrolls between $40 and $100 million dollars. So why spend $250 million when you\'re just as likely to win at $80 million? The reason is that Steinbrenner and Cashman know nothing about baseball. They just throw money at big names, which anyone could do. If they didn\'t have money, they wouldn\'t have any chance at all. They end up wasting huge sums of money in a manner that would get an executive at any other company fired. And you know who pays for it? YOU. Speaking of which...
2. The Yankee fan is the biggest sucker in professional sports fandom.[/COLOR] Every year they come crawling back to suck on Steinbrenner\'s teat. They pay the highest prices in baseball for everything from tickets to parking to concessions to cable fees for YES Network. Yet for years their team is no better than lots of teams with far less payroll and far more fan-friendly prices. The Yankee brass takes advatage of the poor Yankee fan who is so brand loyal that they cannot help themselves but come back to this model of inefficiency. Tell me Yankee fan, if you bought a stereo for $1000 only to find that it was no better than the $500 stereo sitting right next to it at the store, wouldn\'t you return that stereo and not buy that brand again? Of course you would. Yet you continue to get ripped off by this franchise year in and year out, they are getting worse every year, and they let you come crawling back for more because they know you\'re a hopelessly devoted sucker eager for the next wasteful big-name signing.
3. Joe Torre is not a good manager.[/COLOR]
Torre has only been able to win when he was handed the some of the greatest teams in baseball history. When they were winning 116 games a year they didn\'t even need a manager. They could\'ve batted in any order and still won. In the last five years, Torre has been handed a clear top-3 team and the highest payroll at the beginning of every season, and he can\'t get them to win. In fact, the ship is sinking further and further every year. 2003, lose World Series. 2004, lose ALCS. (In the worst choke in sports history.) 2005, lose in ALDS. You know what that means for next year? That\'s right, no postseason at all. Plus Torre allows them to play dirty, which takes a lot of respect away for your franchise. Cano\'s flagrant interference tonight while running down the first base line illicited haunting memories of A-Rod\'s embarrassing ball-slapping move from last year. Take off the blinders, Yankee fan, and realize that only a juggernaut-for-the-ages team can win under Torre.
4. The Yankees have been equal to the Red Sox despite spending 25% more every year.[/COLOR] These two teams measure themselves against one another, and everyone else measures them against one another too. Over the last three years, the Red Sox lead the overall series 36-35. They are 7-7 against each other in the playoffs. Each finished with the exact same record this year and both lost in the ALDS. In other words, they are exactly equal, besides the fact that the Red Sox have won a championship in this time and the Yankees have not. Yet the Yankees outspend the Red Sox by 25% every year. Clearly the Yankees are inefficient and wasteful and not running their ship as tightly as Boston.
5. A-Rod, for all his talents, is a pox upon every franchise he plays for.[/COLOR] $160 million for a grounded-into double play in the ninth inning of game 5 while down by two. Talk about a wolf in sheep\'s clothing. Forget all the numbers, you have to take Figgins or Mueller at third base for a post season run over A-Rod. They are winners when it counts, and dollar for dollar they\'re much more efficient. Mark my words, A-Rod will never win.
Yankee fan, when are you going to get mad and stop supporting this wasteful tease of a franchise? Stop being a sucker and root for the Mets. At least they don\'t underachieve.

i always liked jeter, a lot. hes a champ and a leader.
i never liked the yankees.
since the arrival of unlucky, excuse me -- the never-gonna-win-a-world-series, #13, i cant fucking stomach the yankees and hope to see them lose in the worst possible way.

Quote from: Wolfman
In the last five years, Torre has been handed a clear top-3 team and the highest payroll at the beginning of every season, and he can\'t get them to win.
yup. it\'s obviously Joe Torre\'s fault that his team couldn\'t hit a lick in the playoffs. what a horrible manager. what a wonderful truism!! :rolleyes:
Quote from: Wolfman
Plus Torre allows them to play dirty, which takes a lot of respect away for your franchise. Cano\'s flagrant interference tonight while running down the first base line illicited haunting memories of A-Rod\'s embarrassing ball-slapping move from last year.
:fucktard:
yeah, and had Cano gone with his only other option (running full-force right into Erstad), you\'d still be saying what a dirty player he was.. whatthefuckever.
Quote from: Wolfman
Dave, I\'ll hold on to my Red Sox 2004 DVD, sure. Do you know why you cannot hold onto your Yankees DVD? Because it doesn\'t exist, because the last time the Yankees won, VHS was still 100 times bigger than DVD.
false.
but whatever..
A-WFUL

How can you translate one of the most decorated teams in baseball history into your claims of underachievement? Especially coming from a fan of one of the longest standing jokes in MLB history?
Yankee fans come back every year knowing they will make a serious run @ a championship. Red Sox fans while impressive in their loyalty are the lovable losers of professional sports. Every spring they puff their chests in undying loyalty to a team that has burned them SO MANY TIMES. I love watching the downward spiral every year. It begins somewhere around August and always (except once in almost 90 years) ends in a picture perfect sweep, or maybe a ball trickling through someones feet, and deflating those chests and any dreams of a winter in which you can hold your chin up and be proud.
So you hold onto that 2004 Red Sox DVD, I only hope that the technology required to play that disk will not have gone the way of Betamax the next time your Sox win a championship.

East Coast Media and those that eat it up= bunch of fucking idiots.
Leith, you can\'t deny that the Boston New York rivalery has been a consistent savior of MLB ratings.
I went to a few Houston games this year... people just don\'t show up at games until a playoff spot is definite.
How many strait games has boston sold out?
people are straight up band wagon fans out west.

But seriously, that home run was off the hook. Just hitting a homer in that spot would have been dirty enough, but to hit it halfway to the moon and get it stuck in the rafters so that it literally never came down, that\'s just in your eye. And you know they had already popped the champagne in the luxury boxes and in the bars in Houston. OOF!

Yeah I\'m talkin\' crazy but you never know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and only in San Diego is Patron poured along w/ the Champagne.LOL
:lol:
man, i hope they get fuckin\' slaughtered.. kind of like a shitty offense and football, a quick three and out. but hey, youre right they are another season and SD has decent pitching, looks like theyre going to face St. Louis, though, thanks to Houston. that shouldnt be pretty, leith, but enjoy the post-season. (:imbitterasfuck:..) ;)
The last time the Pads went to St. Louie they took 3 of 4. How many wins does it take to move on to the nxt round? That\'s right 3.
I\'ll take Peavy, Eaton, Lawrence and either Woody Williams or Pedro Astacio over the Cards pitching right now. Not to mention a bullpen w/ Otsuka, Linebrink and Hoffman. The Padre bats are hot and they have come from behind to win in a few games the past week or so. They are hungry and despite their record this team did show it can win when healthy as shown by the 22-6 record in May. They are healthy now, the second season begins Tues. Bring It!!
yeah, and who have they played in the last couple weeks leith?? thats right, their division, by far the worst in baseball. i believe they played their division for most of May also. bats are gonna go limp, pitching will faulter.
LOL man you are bitter. Well to you and all the other Haters. Waaaahhh! Why not jump on the below 500 teams in the division that really suck. We won it fair and square. Oh and when the Padres move on to the next round pls do not disappear from this thread. PLEASE?

Liz is I would think along the lines of mainstream Alt-rock but played on AOR (Adult Oriented Radio)stations.
Ya know when I posted that abt Crede I was thinking along the same lines. He has the ability and the knack for getting the "key" homer when needed.
Post by: Spacey on October 23, 2005, 12:51:06 am
Thinking back over the post season up to now, the name I hear the most is Crede. He made some terrific plays at 3rd and his bat is going to get hot. Hopefully the linemakers and bookies don\'t get to him and a few others ;)
