Go rocket, indeed...we've been shelling him for years now!

Worst move after the babe was letting roger go...but as much as I like him, he must go down, and go down early

Well, well, well. If I wanted advice on being "classy", the LAST person I would listen to would be a combative BoSox fan referring to Yankee fans as idiots and the team as swine. That would be like me asking for lessons on the basic principles of accounting from the Enron CFO. HELLO...pot, kettle.

Yankee

lol, you struck a nerve Talon.

And they are not swine, they are the evil empire.

Hey, does Dan Duquette still think Roger Clemens was in the  "twilight" of his career eight years ago?

Yeah, I bet they keep Torre.  He's done great since he became manager.  Its Brian Cashman that I bet is gonna take a spill, if anyone.

THE EVIL EMPIRE



We Will Return

and with a bigger payroll than ever, I'm figuring its going to cost Uncle George about 2.5 million a win next year.

Even if you dont at least you have a chant of your own now

2 0 0 4

I  do feel kinda sorry for the Yankee team though,
cause that cheekbones Steinbrenner is gonna take it out on someone rather then placing the blame where it belongs.

On Himself

Too bad Yankee Stadium showed the true Yankees "class". I heard on ESPN today after the network coverage had stopped they turned out the lights while the BoSox players were still celebrating on the field. Bad form.

I'm not surprised. The Yankess are a cut and dried issue. You either like them, or you hate them. As a little boy I thought there were only 3 baseball teams. Yankees, Dodgers and Cardinals. They were the only teams you ever saw in film or TV. They were the media darlings of ancient days. Then my grandmother introduced me to real baseball. She introduced me to Willie Mays.

She was a serious Willie Mays. That just didn't seem to match my normally very reserved, hard working grandmother living on a West Texas farm. "Say Hey Willie!" she would shout when he made a great play...and that was pretty often. She and I watched the NBC saturday afternoon games religiously. It was usually the late game and Granny's fried chicken in front of the 17" black and white Zenith when I got to visit. Mmmmmmmmmmmm....

My grandparents were very well off. They owned large parcels of land and mineral rights in Texas. But you could'nt tell it by looking at them. They lived extremely modest. No frills. They didn't have big shiney cars, flashy clothes or a color TV. Apparently, Granddad was tight with a dollar and a bit of a skeptic. I heard many stories that he buried his cash in Prince Albert cans out in the pasture because he did'nt trust banks (and NO you can't come visit with a metal detector).

I never understood how big a bone of contention (or that one even existed) that a color TV was between my Granny and Granddad. They never fought or even had harsh words that I knew of. I  soon learned there was one thing that they had a difference of opinion on.

My Granddad died in April 1971 at age 76 of prostate cancer. It was a short illness of only a few months since they did'nt frequent doctors unless somebody had a broken leg or worse. 2 months later Granny bought a brand new top of the line remote control 19" Zenith Color TV. She finally was able to watch her Willie Mays in color for the twilight of his career.

I rooted for Willie and the Giants then Mets. But I became a fan of the Big Red Machine. You can have Pete Rose, Johnny Bench was "The Man" in my book. He became my Willie Mays and inspiration to play baseball.

Even tho the Senators moved to Arlington and became the Texas Rangers in '71, my Granny never never saw a Major League baseball game in person. But, he never missed another saturday afternoon game in color for the rest of her life.

It customary to offer the visiting team owners, a Box seat, The first two games the Yankees decided they didn’t want to, so they blew it off, The Sox of course did it, but the Yankees were to embarrassed to take the offer after havening not done it for the Sox.

They also dragged out Bucky F***ing Dents father to through out the first pitch at game seven, for those of you who don’t know what that means, lets just say you find your wife with another man, and they invite you to the wedding.

I am one nervous astros fan.

Go Stros!!!!!!

The Redsox are the grand masters of choking and they managed to beat the Yankees. Right now it's Houston 2, Cards 4 in the top of the 8th.... Too close to be safe for the Cards, especially facing Beltran.

Kudos to Boston for an epic comeback... However, the next world champion team will be determined tonight... The Bambino will not be denied.

So, tell me NY fans, who gets the goat award?

A-fraud for his ***** slap to arroyo?

Sheff for his comments about how boston was 'a bunch of characters' before it was over?

brown for breaking his hand and leaving you with mussina as your ace and lieber as your #2?



i have a lot of respect for guys like jeter and williams and matsui. they uphold the professionalism that the yankees have always been known about. however it was the 3 guys steinbrenner brought in (especially arod and sheff) who really showed which team was the 'characters' in this series.

brown will never pitch another game for ny again.

i hope gary 'no reason i've been on 6 seperate teams' sheffield retires. his attitude is tired.

and arod. whooooooo. what a waste of money.

maybe you should trade him for some pitchers who aren't concerned with hitting things.

thing is, so many contracts locked in that the yanks are gonna have to keep with most of these guys next year. it'll take a 250mil payroll to even out the team with how they've emptied their farm system.
