hey garrick and yankee haters

[thesightless]

hee hee



i can admit we were beaten, rather badly at that. but things are looking up today in NY

[Jenks]

money doesn't buy championships. ny proves that every year. sure, they won a few, but not lately.

that pitching rotation is fucking disgusting tho, i'll give them that. damn.

[thesightless]

if kevin brown is healthy and not a complete moron, he will be our #5.... and money helps if they use like thye used to, with pitching, not superstar hitters. the whole run we are on(still on it, playoffs every year for a decade) has been built on pitching. we stopped building the staff and we stopped winning the world series. but hey, ill take making it to the ALCS 8/10 years.

[Garrick]

as long as they don't get beltran, i'll be somewhat happy...

the yankees will eventually turn into the los angeles lakers and a fight for media attention between players... at least thats my plan/theory. i bet it starts out something like randy johnson will bone jeter's super-model girlfriend, hahahaha. ewwww.

[Jenks]

i'll bet Jeter will bone Johnson in the tooter.

[Garrick]

a-rod will film the whole thing and steinbrenner will give them all a raise... literally.

[Jibgolly]

you guys are lame.

Go Yankees!

[skahound]

I am officially swearing off of baseball.

dont diss jeter. diss arod. jeter is a home grown yank, a class act and the single biggest performer in MLB outside of clemens. while his regular season stats are beaten, no one shows up and turns it up better than he does. the guy is a winner. he is the brett farve of MLB IMHO.

as a yanks fan from birth, i cant deal with AROD. he is a bullshit artist who is always trying to sell himself to corps. he is great player but not a true blue yank.

as donnie baseball once said." the people in NY dont wanna hear you, just show up, shut up, and play your heart out, then maybe you can earn thier respect."

this quote always stuck with me. and the three people who epitomized it the most were
1. donnie(go back andwatch his first postseason at bat when the crowd was chanting donnie baseball the whole at bat. or thi year when we chanted it for 10 minutes at opening day intorductions)
2. paul o'neill- PAUL O NEILL PAUL O NEILL PAUL O NEILL-- SEE his last home game when we chanted his name the entire inning he was in the feild. i can admit i was crying my balls out watching one of my heroes walk away from the stadium for the last time. the whole place had such emotion. even the diamondbacks came out of the duggout and applauded for him.(the single best moment i have ever had at a sporting event.)
3. tino- go back and watch clemens 3000th strikeout. then pay attention when tino is announced for the next at bat and the stadium gave a standing ovation to a player from the opposing team.

there is more to being a yanks fan than just gunning for a ring. we value the people who play thier hearts out for us more than any other team(see jeter's stands dive vs the sox this past year. the next day, at shea stadium the whole crowd gave him an ovation at his first at bat)

Who out there doesn't hate the yankees?? But at least you can rest happy knowing that they only suck a little bit more then baseball itself.

one more thing, along with arod and his cheap swinging arms, feel free to take shots at giambi. at least sheffeild admitted bonds got him into the juice, and he came out b4 any of these clowns, he toned down his attitude, and even volunteered to play 3rd base after aaron fucking boone got hurt. i cut him some slack for that. giambi however is still lying to everyone...... and if it weren't for shitty union labor laws, his contract would be voided for lying to the team doctors... personally i would hand him his money and send him on his way.(keep the contract though, so he cant play anymore.)

See. I think this has a lot to do with why people hate the yankee's, its not just the overbloated ego of the team, its the overbloared ego of the fans. Its not just the ignorant owner and his overstuffed wallet, its the fans that idolize him and the way he conducts business.

The only thing worse then Derek Jeter is all his pole-smoking fans.

[thesightless]

hey man, your team would be good if your fans actually shwed up and made the team money. yanks and sox sell out every game they play. more income=more to spend.

steinbrenner has never put a penny from his own pocket into the team since the initial purchase. and he is still making money hand over fist. its been estimated that the team could sell for over 2 billion.

[Garrick]

^ you guys also have a lot of history behind your team which directly relates to you guys having so much money. colorado, not so much. i'm wondering when someone is going to decide to salary cap baseball teams. that would be such a GOOD thing.
