Baseball: A-Rod to the Yanks, post yer BITCH here..

Post by Neil »

Scott Van Pelt on ESPN said it best: "That shreak you just heard......it was Boston".
I now can say I partially hate baseball.......last nites kick ass NBA All-Star Game pushed the game into first place for me.

The Yankees, Steinbrenner, and anybody else associated with the "guys in suits" in NY have turned the game into a Monopoly. Without a shadow of a doubt. Who seriously has a better freakin lineup now than the Yanks?

Nobody....

Sox got pitching.....and that's if (strong IF) they stay healthy.

sometimes when watching baseball i find myself staring at the grass on the field, and watching it grow. It's much more exciting. :P

yankees have way too much money and they will win the world series unless they fall apart which is very possible.

You think its very possible??? It's going to take a LOT of falling apart. Their pitching will have to completely blow the season.

I think the Yankees will break most of the scoring records this year....without a doubt. Unless a few guys go down.

This lineup will be nuts:
1. Lofton
2. Jeter
3. A-Rod
4. Sheffield
5. Giambi
6. Williams (Bernie)
7. Matsui
8. Posada
9. Cairo

I can see it now.....All Star Game this year: Yankees vs. National League (with a couple of Red Sox pitchers as reserves)

Not to mention Tony Clark waiting on the bench.....

If anybodys gonna do yahoo baseball I'm sure either a buddy of mine, or myself, will be starting a league. Probably with weekly changes though, daily gets a bit nuts for baseball.

Off the Yankees:
Mauer looks like he's going to be ready to be the prime catcher for the Twins. Our 2001 phenom is finally ready to go. I think he's going to be stellar.

Maddux to the Cubs?? Anybody else think this will happen?

Cairo is the only "gap" in the Yankees lineup, and he's not even a gap....he's young, so who knows.

Yeah, I jumped the shark on baseball after the strike. I haven't bothered to see a game since they fucked the Expos back in 94, and I'm damn proud.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.
