| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 4/26/2009 6:28:45 PM | Right now the Yanks have no relief pitching and Wang has be horrible. Jaba needs to goto the Pen and they need bring Phil Hughes up.
The Yankees have a few thing going for them. Tampa is having a poor start 7-12 atm. Boston is only 1.5 games ahead of them. Toronto is hot atm but how long is that going to last? | |

This team should have dominated early and still show nothing!!!! I said it before and I'll say it again, I hope the Yankees fall on their faces. Just to show money can't buy championships....
....then how the hell did the Bosox win the WS twice if not by replicating the Yanks formula........they may not have the highest payroll but they are up there with the Yanks & mets...................it has to do more with staying in the pennant race then it does with winning championships!
Right now the Yanks have no relief pitching and Wang has be horrible. Jaba needs to goto the Pen and they need bring Phil Hughes up.
..........Yanks are notoriously slow starters.......pitching isn't that great right now but its way too early to say how it is gonna shape out.........Wang isn't doing well but he could only get better...............relief pitching is worrisome as they they will be needed to come in early on.
Don't think Hughs has good enuff stuff yet..........A rod is needed to win the soft games, where he is most effective.
......i believe the Yanks will get better, but it may take another 2 months. | |

There are not even close with the Yankees $200 million to the Red Sox $120 million, unless you are comparing the way they are ranked. Yankees are 1st with highest salary and the Red Sox fall 4th in between are the Mets 2nd and the Cubs 3rd. And they are not even up there with the Yankees. | |

| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 4/26/2009 8:34:44 PM | | Arod and Nady aren't the Yanks main problem, I never said the Yanks can't do it without them. It's their mid relief that is hurting them. | |
|
| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 4/26/2009 8:51:05 PM | | And comparing pay roles is just stupid. There's around 8 and a half million people in NYC, the Yanks SHOULD have a higher pay role than other teams. Such a larger city, why should say the Royals have the same pay role as the Yanks when they only have around 150k population in KC. That's not really to fair. There's no salary cap in baseball for a reason so this shouldn't be a constant issue about who has more money. And yes, money obviously can't buy a championship, but the Yanks SHOULD have the largest pay role. Look at all the luxury taxes the Yankees have to pay as well... people shouldn't complain about this. | |

then how the hell did the Bosox win the WS twice if not by replicating the Yanks formula....…
They did it the same way the Marlins, D-Backs, Angels, Phillies (and even the same way the Rays got to the WS) and the Yankees of the past………..by fielding a team that play well together whether it is by bringing them through the farm, piecing them together by savy trades or going out and buying a few stars and mixing them with their home grown talent (if they have any).
The 2008 payroll for the WC Phillies was almost $99. mil and the Rays was just under $44 mil, now does anyone think that the $55 mil (give or take a few 100, 000) was why the Rays lost or because we couldn’t get past Lidge???? Maybe it’s just me but somehow I don’t think it would have mattered if Hinske’s salary had been $8 million more a year as to whether he would or wouldn’t have struck out by a dang good closer.
I differ a bit on the opinion that any team “buys championships” (even the Yankees) these guys still have to be able to play together, the key word being together. I just think the Yankees have proven since 2001 that millions of dollars at just about every position doesn’t guarantee well………..anything. Perhaps just proves that the more you spend the more pissed off people there will be when they get hurt, don’t perform or don’t bring home rings.
.
they may not have the highest payroll but they are up there with the Yanks & mets
In what universe is an approximately $66 million difference in payroll around the same? That’s like saying anyone making just $35, 000 a year in salary probably has the same lifestyle as someone that makes $180, 000 a year.
I actually agree with the Yanks guy a few posts up……..the Yankees SHOULD have the highest payroll, they have a huge market (not just NYC) they have fans all over the world and they have been around a hundred years. The whole point is in the scheme of things it doesn’t matter, it has been proven many times. The ones that complain are the teams that can’t or I should say won’t invest in their own team and I don’t mean specifically “invest” as in a lot of money or at least Yankee kind of money. You don’t need to as teams like the Angels and Marlins have proven in the past decade. “Invest” as in player development, scouting what your team actually needs not just the latest big name just to have him (think ARod/Rangers) and so forth.
On that note …Woo hoo ….Yankees got swept!!
Anybody got a broom to SWEEP!!!!
I’ll clean off the cobwebs and you can borrow mine. | |

| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 4/29/2009 1:20:58 PM | | its the same old story with the yankees , they over pay to get any and every one. baseball needs to have a cap. so the difference between what the yankees spend and the next closest teams spends is more then what half of the mlb teams spend on there whole payroll. i know that everybody likes to say well the yankees havent won a w.s. since 2000, that is true, but think how much better other teams could be if they could compete with the yankees in payroll, hell if that happen the yankees may never win another w.s. , now wouldnt that be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
|
| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 5/7/2009 10:04:01 PM | | Rays don't seem to think there is a big problem. I don't think they care if they can't compete in payroll it's whether they can beat them in play, make it at Yankee Stadium and put a cherry on top. | |
|
| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 5/8/2009 10:16:58 PM | | yanks just got a much needed remedy back in the line-up by the name of A-rod...who connected with a homer his first game back and 4-0 win.......we'll see what impact this has! | |
|
| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 6/17/2009 5:12:48 PM | I am wondering if there is a curse or something on the Yankees now? I mean 0-8 with the RED SUX. WTF is going on? Maybe there is another red sux jersey in the foundation that a sux fan buried in the contruction of the new stadium. I could point fingers at who I think it is  | |
|

| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 6/17/2009 5:54:57 PM | It was me. I did it. I fess up. I took one of Manny's stinky old jerseys cos I didn't think anybody at Fenway would miss it. Then, I flirted with a couple of construction workers and they were only too happy to do me a favor and bury the jersey!  | |

this guy Wiz brings up 'azz' and 'shafts' in just about everyone of his posts......its like he is feverishly daring someone to stick it into him!..........i think we (giants fans) have made him aware of his feminine-self, and it has now taken a life of its own............he owes us NY fans a debt of gratitude for unfolding a part of himself that kept repressed!.......its too bad Tom Brady is already with someone otherwise they'd make a perfect duo!

@Wiz
PS. I'm not your pal
I know!..........its called mocking, and i woulda thought your sterling wit and mental sharpness coulda grasped that!...........but i was wrong!........sorry..................pal!

From his famous ca ca poo poo book, his love affair with the beaver, his blue dildo icons, His I hate anything New York mannerisms, over and over again and again. He even made a you tube stint of how much Eli sucks and ended it with a howdy dowdy to JaB in it. I am sure there is not a day that goes buy that he doesn't look for anything I write here. Now its all about his a$$ and getting shafted all the time. What could be next? A Yankee wanna be  | |

Hey, no fair!!! It's bad enough you guys get to together for your annual +45 Viagra fan club seminars, but exchanging emails to gang up on me is cheating.
this guy Wiz brings up 'azz' and 'shafts' in just about everyone of his posts......
The difference is when I talk about my a$$, it's because I'm trying to protect it....When you talk about my a$$, you and JaB are trying to put things in it....Big difference, and don't try to deny it because the proof is in the posts.
I know!..........its called mocking
Is that what it is? You sooo clever....You fool me with that "sterling wit and mental sharpness" AGAIN!!....
!...........but i was wrong!........sorry..................pal!
Again?!?!?! Awww Man!!!! Oh yah, it's called mocking....Me so silly!!! And you so clever!!!
Guess you have not been around here long enough to wittiness his growth in the forums. From his famous ca ca poo poo book, his love affair with the beaver, his blue dildo icons, His I hate anything New York mannerisms, over and over again and again.
Now this is funny....You're still mad over the ca ca poo poo joke....I was only kidding I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. And my love affair?!?! Let's not forget how over protective you were over FrancyNancy. You know, "the female gender who can have any male genders". I mean seriously, when you said that I LMFAO? I bet you thought you were going to get some booty for sticking up for her (I mean him). Little did you know FranceyNancey was Oscar, aka Scottie Pippen, aka Mr. Big, aka....You know what I mean? And my hate for New York? Well, you're right about that....But why accuse someones "mannerism"? When you do the same? If you are going to accuse someone, at least be fair about it....But I'm assuming reality hasn't checked in yet. Oh, I'm still waiting for the list that was given to Rodney that considered him a dirty player as a Patriot. You posted a bunch of Youtube videos over it, but I'm still waiting for the fines that were given to him. I'm WAITING!!! Oh, let's not forget the disappearing act you pulled when your team loss in the playoffs to the Eagles because you were a sore loser. I mean, at least you should have stuck until the SB....But you couldn't handle the banters from everybody on POF.
....now lemme go back to being a 'yankee wannabee'......................
I never tried to take it away from you....Is this another mocking trick you're trying to pull. If not, admitting to it is half the battle.  | |

...................No, when you talk about your azz, it is your way of bringing ATTENTION to it...in other words, its your indirect method of 'show-casing' it........the notion that you try to 'protect' it is merely a pretext devised to hide your true (anal) cravings of being penetrated!
....When you talk about my a$$, you and JaB are trying to put things in it....Big difference, and don't try to deny it because the proof is in the posts.
even though you would love having more.....i really don't think we can't put anything more into it that that isn't already there now!.....i mean, its quite obvious that there is still a big Giants dong (courtesy of Eli), that you still haven't gotten accustomed to yet!....but give it time, i've heard that the rectum can stretch to large diameters!
Me so silly!!! And you so clever!!!
...now write that 100 times on the blackboard so you won't ever forget!
I never tried to take it away from you....Is this another mocking trick you're trying to pull. If not, admitting to it is half the battle.
what?.. me doing mocking tricks!.......Naaaah!.........so i guess you've won another 1/2 battle....again!
...Oh, and btw........could you try to use some more emoticons in your posts!.....they really do a good job to embellish your great wit and intelligence!

And you know this by experience? Is this one of your "pretext devises" that YOU are trying to hide.
when you talk about your azz, it is your way of bringing ATTENTION to it
And when you talk about my a$$, it's what? Another great night at the Blue Moon? You better slow down, I don't want you to pop a tent in your Depends. Then explain why I see more of a pattern how two New Yorkers who most likely live 100 miles away have the same interest about my a$$? Is there some secret society between you two? Maybe it's one those notions thingies you are trying to protect for your own personal cravings.....I hope not....I rather hope and guess that you and JaB are ijust in each others favorite lists together.
Me so silly!!! And you so clever!!! ...now write that 100 times on the blackboard so you won't ever forget!
Okay.... You so silly!!!! And me so clever!!!! You so silly!!!! And me so clever!!!! You so silly!!!! And me so clever!!!! You so silly!!!! And me so clever!!!! You so silly!!!! And me so clever!!!!
Do you really want me to continue with this? No fair!!!
...Oh, and btw........could you try to use some more emoticons in your posts!.....they really do a good job to embellish your great wit and intelligence!
Look Ma!!! No emoticons!!! Ooops!!! | |

| Problem With The Yankees? Posted: 6/19/2009 11:19:35 PM | ^
And you know this by experience?
no, its just something that i've heard in passing....but i could be wrong...perhaps your rectum will stay tightly spasmed indefinitely.....maybe you can keep us posted!
And when you talk about my a$$, it's what?
its about what has already been well fitted in there, and has remained well in place since SB 08........and even if i had any desire to insert anything else myself, i doubt i could accomplish anything greater...i can't improve upon Eli's masterpiece! | |
