good. then you understand what theo is doing, and how it doesn't compare to what stieny is doing. that theo has to make a budget work, down the line, into the future. and george doesn't even have to think about that, and how the pieces that may work today wont work in two years, becasue then there will be no money for player x. that doen't cross his mind. and you realize that even though you can say the sox are right behind the yankees in spending money, we all know that is a farce to make that comparison, for all the reasons i've mentioned. glad you see it my way.

Fucking A-Rod...what's the deal? Man, I bet the NY papers are all over his ass, and Rivera's too. Still, two out of three. the Yanks have the early season steeze.

Now, the Yankee kryptonite is flaking and the Yankees' universe is upside down despite taking two of three from the Red Sox.

Yesterday for the second straight game Rivera blew a save against the Red Sox. Unlike Tuesday, this one cost the Yankees a victory and a three-game sweep of their blood rivals. Instead the Yankees absorbed a 7-3 loss that was low-lighted by Rivera being booed for the first time at Yankee Stadium.

Sure, Alex Rodriguez botched a game-ending double play ball in the ninth. And the Yankees were held to four hits. But Rivera walked an unheard of three and gave up three hits in two-thirds of an inning. Four of the five runs were unearned thanks to A-Rod's boot. That led to Joe Torre walking to the mound and removing the Hall of Fame lock.

Torre did that last Sept. 4 at the Stadium when Rivera was brought into a game versus the Orioles with the Yankees trailing, 2-0, and gave up four hits and four runs in one-third of an inning.

As strange as watching Rivera leave was, what followed was even more rare. When Rivera took his first step toward the Yankee dugout he was booed by many in the crowd of 55,165.

NY is a tough place with a lot of assholes running around.

If they were, then a lot of the people showering Rivera with their unspeakable bile were Sox fans who decided to wear Yankees hats, Yankees jerseys and Yankees jackets to the Stadium yesterday, who decided to take out their frustrations on the impending demise of their dream of a 162-0 Yankee season on Rivera, who is only the reason these soulless dopes have had such a magnificent team to root for these past few years.

i usually cheer the oponent when they get shelled, don't know about you.

NY Post is media central for the assholes.

But the sports pages are quite entertaining, as some assholes can be.

but would you boo a oposing pitcher who was walking guys left and right and leaving balls ten inches above the zone? me, i yell to the manager to leave the bum in! he's doing fine! let him work out of the jam! woo hoo!

So all you Red Sox fans... what are your thoughts on Fever Pitch? I know it was bad enough when Fallon and Barrymore commercialized your game four win last year... but now having those two morons represent the big bad "Red Sox Nation"? You must be embarrassed right now.

Frankly, I'm quite dissapointed at your lack of sportsmanship and respect of the fine level of play we witness at the local professional sports venue. I, for one, appreciate the intricacies and subdlties of the game of baseball, and cheer on the fine play, even if it's not from my home club. Never do I boo, or use foul language. tut

:nonono2:

enough of this American league talk, who cares about the god damn american league anyway...........


how bout them cubbies?

Alright, we're supposed to suck again this year, but we rolled through SF and wrecked shop. Not a bad way to open the season.

Even Weaver was getting' into the action...

Zambrano looked good today, 7,1/3rd, 1 H, 6 K's, 2 BB

Buckos got a win, wooohooo. Fogg pitched great! So far Pirates starters have looked very solid, but offense has been hard to come by, and middle relief has been terrible. If they can light up the bats OR Rick White stops sucking the pirates just might make a run at .500 ball!

Dammit, just watched the bloodbath in Toronto today. By my calculations, the Boston bullpen has an ERA of 9.00+ right now.

You know, it occurred to me today how the strict Yankee dress and appearance code does wonders for some players. Like Randy Johnson. Remember the mullet?

'nough said.

irul sure is quiet........

and I agree wit bdub
HOW BOUT THEM DODGERS!

heh. but george isn't. guess all those yankees fans who dont care about the month of april don't see eye to eye with the boss.

last time these bums started 4-8 they finished 20 behind first place toronto. it was the year 1990.

sitting here @ work on my b day, listening to the Cubs on GN via the internet, and what do they do in the first inning? POW! 3 homers to jump out to a 4 to zip lead...wow! patterson, ramierez and lee (who jacked one at least 450 feet, gotta watch sports center tonight for that one) all go deep - maybe this is the start of something good for the boys! gotta get outta this 6-6, .500 ball crap...we need to rip off 3,4,5,6, in a row.....ok, i m off to my local watering hole to get drunk and watch the rest of the game...
