Its almost baseball season!!

[leafstk]

P.S. .... GO LEAFS GO!!!!! 😀

 

[venray]

I hate to burst the bubble of the Red Sox fans.\

Bubble? We have a bubble to burst? ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are used to the Yanks buying their way into the playoffs each year...lol..

How's this for a prediction...Red Sox vs. Mets for a rematch.....

 

[giantfan121262]

OK Now were talking....

I just have one question

Who's on first??

 

[giantfan121262]

Re: I'm so excited that I just can't hide it!!

Yankees know how to upgrade - Bombers 'find a way to pick up the slack' with A-Rod


2004 season.....its thrilling to be a Yankee Fan!!!

PS...wouldn't it be funny if Pedro took a walk over to the Bronx next year???

OH MY GOD!!!!!

 

[venray]

Re: OK Now were talking....

I just have one question

Who's on first??

I think Buckner has a younger cousin who will be available...🙄

 

[giantfan121262]

My condolences

Oh shit!!!

You guys are effed!!

Oh yeah!! I also heard that Bob Stanley has a brother who is just as wild as he is. He leads the league in wild pitches and has allowed the most runs to score.

You have a chance if you bring Bruce Hurst out of retirement.

THIS IS THE YEAR RED SOX FANS!!!!

I know, i know, boston fans say that practicially every year (i, being a die-hard fan, will be the FIRST to admit it) but, c'mon, would ja look at our roster??? A-Rod or no A-Rod, nothing can help the Yankees take us on this year!

GO RED SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~clair 😉

ps- Ahh, the new Boston cheer we'll be singing after the season's all over: "We've got heart...and we tore the Yanks apart...."
~Damn Yankees (the musical) 😀

 

[leafstk]

It's the Blue Jays I tell ya! The BLUE JAYS!!!!! 😀 Okay, maybe ten years ago, but what the hell 😛

 

[JPie1]

It's official: Yankees land A-Rod


Long Rule the Yankees!

 

[Knox The Hatter]

\Last I saw, A-Rod can't pitch...
and also, the last I saw, the Yankee pitching staff needs a major overhaul. This doesn't matter to Fatso...spite's far more important. The pitching, to him, will take care of itself, and if it doesn't, Fatso will just go ahead and fire the pitching coach. If things still don't work out, he'll then fire Joe Torre and Brian Cashman. Hey, maybe he'll get mad enough and call Yogi at his home in Montclair and tell him he's fired, even though he's not an employee.
When all's said and done, he'll fire George Costanza. That should surely send a message to the team.

 

[milagros317]

All things considered, I still say:
Go, Brooklyn Dodgers!!! (Currently playing in Los Angeles.) 😀

A-Rod now... Greg Maddux waiting in the wing???

Interesting. The Yank rotation is all righties (Brown, Mussina, Contrereas, Leiber, Vasquez). We need a lefty in there to counter the short right field porch. In addition, the last time three of those pitchers pitched was in the offensive starved National League. In the American League, you have the DH so you must get an extra out plus you have middle infielders that can hit (Nomar, Tejada, Soriano, Jeter, and A Rod (Granted the Yanks have two of those players now)). I am not saying they won't do well but the are some dynamics in moving to the AL from the NL

I guess Bernie is now the full time DH. Giambi in the field, YIKES!!

The Yankees will probably win the AL but the Mets will expose them in the World Series 😉 😀

 

[venray]

Soory guys the Yanks talent is just gonna get in each others way here this season and the Sox will rule much the way the Pats worked their way into the Superbowl....one game at a time.😀

Bet's are on the "A-Rod" doesnt even play the whole season..I foresee an injury that costs the Yanks a large paycheck until 2025 with nothing to show for it least of all a pennant.....You heard it here first...😉

 

[tklgal226]

ok, yankees' fans, here's my 2 questions:

1.) a ball goes perfectly between 3rd and shortstop- who's gonna b the hero to retreive it?

2.)let's say jeter get hurt and is out for a little while...naturally, A-Rod takes over as shortstop, right? Then Jeter comes back in....u think A-Rod's gonna give up the position again?


just a few things my boyfriend got me thinking about today. But u know the reeeeeeeally crazy thing? while us yankee and sox fans hate one another, or the teams at least, cursing the players of the opposer's team....Jeter, A-Rod, and Gaciapara are really best friends in 'real life'! I never knew that! Kinda crazy to think about, huh? The way we all get worked up and all...

Ah, well, I still hate those Damn Yankees 😛

[the_Baron]

Clair is correct - the Red Sox will be playing in October.

They will narrowly lose to my beloved Phillies, with the series clinching ninth-inning home run coming at the new Ballpark on Pattison Avenue.

A trip through Milagros' fevered brain right now as we speak...
he's sitting there, as the swirling winds in the Shea Loge are turning his ears red, but he's not there, really, because it's the voice of Tex Rickards on the public address, Gladys Gooding on the organ, and Hilda Chester slamming her cowbell all the way up in the bleachers that's drumming through his head. In fact, there she is, you could see that loud, ridiculous print dress from here.
Everyone's still filing in, it's a sunny, cool day. It's the Preach starting today, against Vern Bickford...and you look across the field there, you can see some of the guys in the home whites talking around the third base line. You could see the numbers on their backs clear as day: 1, 14, and 39. Reese, Hodges, and Campanella.
The visitors today, the Braves, are out doing fielding practice, in their colorful road uniforms, resplendent in black tomahawks on the front and feathered head dress on the sleeves. The voices of the hot dog vendors, carrying their wares in wicker baskets, ring throughout the still half filled park, along with the calls of children, and the laughter of the group of men sitting behind you...firemen from Canarsie on their day off.
From another vendor, you purchase a scorecard, and get a free pencil with it. The scorecard cost a dime, and features a sketch of The Bum by Willard Mullins on the cover. Inside, you'll find mostly ads for local Brooklyn businesses. The actual scorecard is in the middle of the booklet, with both the rosters of the Dodgers and the visiting Boston Braves printed on both sides. The starting lineup is listed on the manual scoreboard , under which a sign reads, "Hit Sign, Win Suit!"
The air is filled with the smell of roasted peanuts and hot dogs and Schaefer beer and the hope that lives in every breast...
Enjoy, Milagros. Enjoy.

This is for JPie only:

Yes, they landed A-Rod, but he wont be there long. Just how long do you think he will play before he wants his position back? Do you really think he and Jeter really get along? Yes, they are stacked with offense, but it does nothing if the pitching give up the same output. Lieber? hasn't pitched in 1 1/2 yrs. Kevin Brown? injury prone
Javier Vasquez? not a proven big-time pitcher yet. Let's face it, when those lefties and Clemens left, it left a big hole, too big for all that offense to recover from. If you make the playoffs, it will be by the skin of your teeth. Remember, pitching and defense wins championships, not offense. Also remember good pitching stops good hitting, and the Cubs have tons of it. See ya in October, on the corner of Clark and Addison

GO CUBS IN 2004!!!!!!!!!!

 

[milagros317]

Thank you for the nostalgic picture of baseball as it ought to be, Knox, and the final score of that game should be Dodgers 8, Braves 0, a two-hit complete game shutout by Roe. 😀
Go, Brooklyn Dodgers!!! (Currently playing in Los Angeles.) 😀

GO CUBS IN 2004!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I will agree the pitching is more suspect this year then in the last few years but the Yankees will find a way! And the have the defense. Cya in Oct!!

Go Yanks in 2004!!!!!

PS...I like your Cubbies, I wish them well...I just want the Yanks to win!

 

[natural tickler]

JPie, I would love to like your Yankees, but I hate the fact that they have to buy their way toward championships. But a Cubs/Yanks World Series sounds good to me. Maybe at NEST I could convince you to be a Cubs fan by tickling those feet of yours!!

By the way, haven't George realized by now after 3 yrs without a title that greed isn't good?

honestly, besides just being a sox fan, i want to see a cubs/red sox world series- at least someone will break their bad luck streak!!!

[JPie1]

so the cubs got Maddox, good for them. I like the cubbies.

I think a Yankee\cubbie series would be wonderful.

But the Yanks will win.


No one can ever make me anything but a Yankee Fan 😛

Not true...I know how to make you laugh....

 

[Krokus]

I'll admit it, I am now a Yankee fan. When they got A-Rod, they got me as well. Alex has been my favorite player the last few years, and I watched the rangers just to see him play.

 

[JPie1]

Not true...I know how to make you laugh....

ah, but you'll never change my dedictation to the Yanks!!! nah nah
