too bad BIlly Martin is dead, that guy had fire
fired
all 5 times.
1 ring though I think

The Spankey's problems all have to do with their pitching. Their offense is going to put up a ton of runs...much of the time enough to win regardless of their pitching. Maybe when Hot Carl comes back, or they sign Clemens, or shit when hell freezes over. Personally I'm hoping they come in dead last and Torre gets pissed, resulting in Gayambi roid raging and killing half the team.

Side note: If you didn't grow up in NYC, have family from there, or live there for an extended amount of time you have no business being a Yankee's fan. It's like the douchers that are Notre Gay fans and Detroit Redwings fans although they've never stepped foot into South Bend or Detroit and never will. Douchers.

oh I heart NYC but I hate the Yankees, I just think their fans are funny/fuzzy in their logic and like to call them on it
The Dogers are looking good , even with their new million dollar boy on the DL, and Kent still in first gear.

Oh, I didn't think "you" were a yanks fan...just throwing out the royal "you" if you know what I mean...

Joe Torre is the most overrated piece of shit on the planet. Nice track record with the Mets and Cardinals. Guy was blessed with a team of all-stars during the 90s. Yeah, that hard to pencil in the same lineup every day for 6 or 7 years. A fucking goat with one leg could have managed those teams to all those championships.

Oh yeah, John Maine kinda sucks for a #3 starter.

**smmokan** · 04-30-2007, 06:53 PM

John Maine is a good ole' Charlotte boy... and he's kicking ass in NY. That guy is legit.

Cocaine is one helluva drug.

Joe Torre = Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's

I swear he's dead and Guidry/Mattingly are just holding him up so they dont have to take over this team with no pitching or defense whatsoever

That cracks me up

**BmillsSkier** · 05-01-2007, 07:18 PM

Sabathia comes into a rain-soaked game to give up 3 straight dingers and fights back with with 8 k's so far to let his boys, behind the power of Pronk, battle back to a 4-3 lead. Gotta love that Tribe!

**Benny Profane** · 05-02-2007, 01:34 AM

OK, that's it, I figured it out. Yankee pitching is cursed by the demise of the stadium, the house that Ruth built goin' down. This is not good. And the construction has just started. shudder. I wonder what's next. Poor kid almost had a no hitter.

"This was not a tweak, it was a pop," Cashman said.

**smmokan** · 05-02-2007, 07:52 AM

That sucks for Hughes. Kid's going to be good.

**fez** · 05-02-2007, 07:59 AM

oh man i saw that knee hyper and said to my wife 'that was an acl'. then they were talking about popping. i hope it really is just a hammy.

and i think clemens was saying 'that's worth another few hundred k'

if it wasnt only early may, and if they weren't the yankees, i'd be feeling sorry for them. but once the sox have their inevitable august meltdown i just know the yankers will be right there in it.

so was that papelbon's first blown save last night? first of the year for sure, man he got shelled.

**shmerham** · 05-02-2007, 08:02 AM

He blew a save last year. It was actually one of my favorite games. He gives up the tying run in the 9th. Sox come out and score in the top of the 10th and then he comes out like a madman, completely pissed off and just mows down the three batters.

**Brock Landers** · 05-02-2007, 08:12 AM

I want Papelbon to sport the mohawk again. And the Rick Vaughn taper in the back.

That is funny. And my friends think it is, too.

Irregahdless, he still worries me and I'll be glad to see him back in the pen.

Once Lester is back in the rotation in a week or so and Tavarez is in the pen where is most comfortable as a setup pitcher, it'll be even better.

Plus our set up guy/ secondary closer Hideki "Darkman" Okajima is the AL Rookie of the Month. Him & Papelbon all year, I like this year so far, and we kinda sorta took 5 of 6 from the skanks, no big deal with a game where we hit back to back to back to back dingers.

you mean the halfway house that Ruth built

**Benny Profane** · 05-08-2007, 10:49 PM

Has anyone seen how big Bond's head is this season? I'm serious. There's a picture in today's Daily News of him hatless on the rail next to a normal person. He looks like he is ready to explode. Just ain't natural.

**smmokan** · 05-09-2007, 07:22 AM

How about Schilling calling Bonds out, accusing him of things that haven't been proven? I wish Schilling would just shut the fuck up.

Yes, schil sometimes has Diarrhea of the mouth, but in this instance, I agree with him.

Hasn't been proven????? How much fucking crack are you smoking??? HE ADMITTED IT TO A FUCKING GRAND JURY YOU MORON!!!!

I'm sorry to say, but your baseball commenting privileges have been revoked until you actually say something well thought out. and not utterly retarded.

**smmokan** · 05-09-2007, 07:56 AM

OK, show me where he admitted to any of it. Stop jumping to conclusions and trying to call me out because someone insulted one of your holy Red Sox players. He never admitted to taking steroids to a grand jury- he said he thought he was using flaxseed oil. He never admitted to cheating on his wife, and he never admitted to tax fraud. He is, however, being investigated for all of them- but proven guilty or admitted it? Nope.

Listen, I hate the guy as much as everyone else, but Schilling needs to shut the fuck up- and it sounds like you do too.
