hey garrick and yankee haters

[Civic_Zen]

Hey man, I'm just telling it how it is. I don't know anyone who really likes the yankee's outside of NY, or at least the east coast.

As for me, I hate baseball, I just think the yankee's and what they represent is one of the main reason's why. That and people who can only break the records of the greats when they're hopped up on roid's. Why does everyone even ackowledge Bonds and the like when everyone can see why their able to accomplish what they do.

I'm not joking though, I remember watching it with my grandpa when i was a kid, and the only thing that woke me up was the loud "smack" of the ball hitting the catchers mit. And I don't sleep through much of anything unless I'm really tired, I'd rather watch golf even.

The more the Yankees get away from the formula that made then successful in the mid to late 90s, the less they will succeed. Back then they were scrappy underdogs who built a dynasty. They were only able to accomplish that because of the time when Steinbrenner was suspended, and they were able to build up a farm system- this is where guys like Jeter and Williams came from.

Drunk off their own success, and with the boss came back in the picture, they have resorted to the time honored, but never successful NY tradition of the super-star band-aid fix (Knicks and Rangers do this every year, lol). That works just fine for kicking the shit out of the Devil Rays and other teams with a fraction of the payroll during the regular season. However, come post season the thing that counts most is CHEMISTRY, and that's last thing this overrated bunch of mercenaries has.

With their farm system is depleted, they no longer have those quiet achievers like O?Neil and (a young) Jeter; instead they have Gay-rod et al who continue play flat when it really counts.

That said, pitching is what wins ball games, especially in a short post season series, so the RJ deal might actually bring the Yanks another championship, unfortunately.

Sincerly,
Bitter Mets fan

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.)

probably the best monent i ever witness at yankee stadium

Re: hey garrick and yankee haters

I love my Yanks but I heard the funniest comment about them from Rick Reiley from Sports Illustrated. He said "Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Brad Pitt to get laid."

[dvs]

finally some pitching to go with those bats, can't wait to see what johnson, pavano and mussina combo does this year, yes the yanks haven't won the ws since 2000, 4 years w/o a world series is a drought any time would like to have, but not the yanks...whats wrong with trying to win every year? since they make the most $$ in baseball, why not spend it on their players..its not like they are losing money...isn't nyc the place with the highest salaries in the nation anyway??????

can't wait to see the yanks as champs again in '05, got my season tixx...

Players Unio will never allow a salary cap. that was the road block in the last barganing agreement. Then the owners agreed on the luxrary tax to help offset. Problem is that when the large market teams give money to the small market teams . The small market teams don not invest in there product........

Anyway Go Yanks

Re: hey garrick and yankee haters

the fact is that if the fans just show to the games and make the team money, then the team will have havee it to spend. people also ignore the mistique of playing in the house that ruth built, with all the history there. the owners are capped at what they can pocket percentage wise from profits as well. again, steinbrenner hass never paid a penny out of his pocket for a player, it all comes from team revenue, and the man still is making millions and millions.
