Yes, I'm 37, have a pretty live arm, and can probably get as many out as Kevin Brown. But I'm not joining your rotation to take his place for only 1/2 his salary! Stop calling me!

Kevin Brown.

6 runs on 7 hits through 3. Maybe they shoulda gave him $200 Million as well. ... :rolleyes: ..... :faint:

don't forget the 12 cross country flights on the Gulfstream Jet that Brown negotiated in his contract...........every year he gets 12 flights.

Isn't his Silence loud?


You know he saw it. Just can't bring himself to respond.

You know he's hurtin. And I suppose someone's gonna pay. I just hope it's Zilzal or LBj...and not me. But its 9/5 It'll be a democrat.

He can't take this Kind of torture for to much Longer. Most of them were determined to avenge last years choke, and the Sox's World Series Win with a FAST start. Thats Backfired. meanwhile, we have the Blue Jays this week and there is a STRONG Likelyhood the SOX will have the division lead by Wed.


ohhhh The pain.

This didn't take long!

"Enough is enough. I am bitterly disappointed, as I'm sure all Yankee fans are, by the lack of performance by our team," Steinbrenner said in a statement issued immediately after the game. "It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk. They are not playing like true Yankees. They have the talent to win and they are not winning. I expect Joe Torre, his complete coaching staff and the team to turn this around."

It's too early to take baseball seriously, especially with a suspect team like the O's. That said, anyone heard from PA? I'm worried about him, lots of tall buildings in NYC!

Classic match up in the Bronx tonight..."Battle for the Basement!" :lol:

Probably won't hear from him until Yankee's win three in a row. Early June I'd say.

Dudes, didn't have time to read the board yesterday, sorry to disappoint you guys. I'm still alive and well and enjoying life as best I can!

Yankees got off to a similar slow start last year, in case you guys forgot. We of course finished the year comfortably atop the AL East.

Relax, like Suff said in another thread....just relax. I love it when you guys think the season ends in May....LOL

cj

PA,

You have to take your shots when you can. Being an O's fan, who knows when that will happen again!

ps...Did you solve the puzzle? :D

They should never have forced George Costanza out.

cj

Maybe Costanza would break out those cotton uniforms for tonight's game as the Yanks try to avoid becoming the first AL team with double digit losses.

In case you missed it, Jay Leno had this to say:

There’s talk that Steinbrenner may be looking for a new manager. And there may be something to that - today, he was spotted putting up a stove pipe chimney on the roof of Yankee Stadium.

Some of these Yankee-bashers wish the season ends in May cuz the only time they can get their shots in is when the Yanks get off to a slow start.

Enjoy this fleeting moment. It won't last.

It has lasted close to 5 years now. With that payroll, anything short of winning it all is worth a shot.

Which team has the most # of wins over the last five years in MLB?

cj
04-20-2005, 04:38 PM
As they should, they pay WAY MORE money than anyone else. But, as you well know, noone cares how many regular season games you win. Noone cares if you make the playoffs and lose. And noone cares if you lose the World Series.

With the ridiculous unlevel playing field the Yankees now enjoy, they should win damn near every year. If I was Steinbrenner, I'd be really, really pissed by now.

PaceAdvantage

Now what fun would it be if the Yankees won the World Series every year? Sheesh....

ARE THEY TRUE YANKEES?
A True Yankee Not a True Yankee
.

.

Ed Whitson. Compiled impressive career 15-10 record while a Yankee. And following the footsteps of Reggie Jackson, got into a fight with manager Billy Martin.

Steve Balboni. A true Yankee should be beloved by the fans and have a great nickname, like "Bye-Bye."


Howard Spira. A true Yankee does whatever The Boss asks, even if it involves illegal activities.

Karim Garcia and Jeff Nelson. Earned their true Yankee stripes by beating up a Red Sox groundskeeper.


.

Jeffrey Maier. Proves that a true Yankee will do anything to win, even if it means getting your season ticket revoked.

Darryl Strawberry and Tim Raines. You can be a true Yankee if you've overcome a drug addiction – if you win.



Don Mattingly. The ultimate Yankee loser. Never played in the World Series or even won a postseason series.

Babe Ruth. Won four World Series in 15 years with Yanks, but three in six years with Red Sox. Obviously peaked in Boston.

Dave Winfield. Mr. May.

David Wells. Yankees fans love this guy. The same guy who asked out of Game 5 of a World Series start! After one inning! With the Series tied 2 games apiece!

Bernie Williams. A true Yankee would be able to throw the ball from center field to the cutoff man.

Paul O'Neill. Yankees fans and biographers love to rave about the Yankees' professionalism on and off the field. You know, like kicking Gatorade coolers and yelling at umpires or practicing your swing while playing right field.

Tino Martinez. You know how many sacrifice bunts he has had in his Yankees career? One. Plus, he sulked when benched in the '96 Series.

Don Zimmer. A true Yankee does not rip The Boss, quit the team, then go work for the Devil Rays.

Kevin Brown. Getting beat up by the Red Sox in Game 7 of the ALCS means you're "human filth" to Yankees fans.

Billy Crystal. Showed his true Yankee loyalty by wearing a Mets cap in "City Slickers."

Roger Maris. Yankees fans can't claim him now. They were rooting against him when he chased The Babe's record in 1961.

Derek Jeter. Hit .148 in 2001 World Series. Hit .200 in 2004 ALCS. And no titles since he became captain in 2003.

Alex Rodriguez. Doing anything to win might mean moving to a new position, but not slapping the ball away from Bronson Arroyo.

Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson. You can't be a true Yankee if you've traded wives and children with a teammate.

2001-2005 Yankees. If you played for the Yankees during this era, you're probably not a true Yankee, because you're just a bunch of overpaid bums.

Are you seriously talking smack a few weeks into the season? Whatever gets you off, I guess.

You can't fake 26 world championships, I can tell you that.

And you can take this to the bank:

You'll NEVER have that! LOL
