Not really sure how you could be talking shit on the Twins, I mean they ARE in the playoffs.  And they aren't totally out of it yet.

We'll see if Hughes can be stable. Use Robertson for the 7th, Wood for the 8th, Mo for the 9th. Been working so far.

P.S. I know some people think the Yankees just bring in the most expensive and best players, but look at Kerry Wood. Pitcher who nobody really wanted is one of the best in the Yankees bullpen right now. Cashman is a fucking genius.

yankees have made some good/great trades but they're god awful at handing out money on free agent players.

I'm sure Jeter/Arod/Mo bring a lot of revenue for the franchise but they are not worth what they're getting paid this year, specially Arod.
wish MLB would integrate Salary cap so we wont have to see thew yankees in every WS just cuz they have the money to spend on players

Uh, no? Teixeira signed here because he was offered the most money to sign here. We have the money to do it, so we do it. How is that "god awful at handing out money". If you have the money to outbid someone on an auction and you do it, are you godawful with money? They're also the smartest about it because our owners actually invest the money back into the team. You wouldn't see the Marlins' owners doing that, that's for damn sure.

And you're kidding about Mo, right? He's well worth the money he's getting. Even at his age he's a practically lights out pitcher. And he's still got 2 years or so left in him. Jeter? Well, he had an off year that's for sure. Still extremely solid defensively however and is the face of the team. A-Rod...excuse me while I wipe my eyes of tears from spending money on a guy who just hit 30 HRs and had 125 RBIs and has at least 30 HRs and has 100 RBIs in every season since 1998.

yes you're right about Mo, he is a lights out closer, maybe the best closer ever.

Jeter is not a solid defender anymore, he has aged and doesn't have the range to get to balls that most SS would get to, yes he has few errors, that doesn't mean he's a great defender, by any metric he is a below defender SS.

Especially seeing your location, you clearly have absolutely no ideaswhat you're talking about.

Our infield is probably the best defensive tandem in the league. Cano and Jeter are the main reasons for that.

do you really think he will produce at the same level as he has when he is 42?

What a stupid fucking question.

Would you not sign Albert Pujols to a 10 year contract because he won't perform as well in his 9th and 10th years? Seriously.

on to the next one

bring on the (most likely) rangers

Hamilton is a beast. He and Lee are both incredible players.

Thank God it looks like Lee's coming to NY next year. One would hope.

Don't forget that 80's crack..

Excuses, excuses. It's the playoffs. Stay and support your team. I wouldn't go to the game if I didn't plan on staying through the whole thing. Work tomorrow If the game was going the other way, they wouldn't leave before the end, citing they had work the next morning. Be glad your team at least made it this far and stick around.

Keep in mind I'm talking post-season games here. And honestly I don't think I've seen a stadium that empty during a playoff game that the home team were losing. Yank fans are pathetic, just admit it. Sore losers. All the budget in the world and still losing. Sucks.

If I had tickets for a playoff game and my team was getting crushed 20 to nothing and it was midnight, I'd still stay to the end. Gotta support, regardless.

I guess the Yankees just have a bigger and more convenient bandwagon to hop on.

Poseidon, Poseidon...

Yes, the Yankees fans are pathetic for leaving a game and not sticking with them until the end. Part of being a fan of a team is sticking with them through thick and thin, not just for the wins. What a stupid notion. But that's where the bandwagon part comes in, as mentioned before.

You talk shit and make assumptions but come off as a general asinine loud-mouth. Fitting the Yankee fan stereotype perfectly.
Also, if you really must know, I'm not unemployed and don't "support a shit team like the Angels". Good try, though.

"We don't cry about it." Well, you got me on that one. I didn't see any Yankee fans at the game crying. But I guess that's why they went home early, to cry alone in the dark where no one would see them.

Thank you. I'm glad you understand. Showing "support" when they're winning, but leaving them when they're losing does not make you a true fan. Now that that's out of the way...

Oh, and the stadium was emptying before the top of the 9th, though that is when the majority of them left. They can be cut some slack I suppose. But leaving before that... gg.

And you didn't read my post before? Where I clarified that I wasn't a fan of the Angels? Yet you still harp on about how I'm a fan of a team with no competition You shouldn't make your insecurities so obvious. Typical loud-mouthed New Yawkuh

Unless you're a fan of the Cardinals, the only other team to come moderately close, it doesn't matter. You'll never be in competition with the Yankees and your team will always be in the shadow. We act smug because we can, and because people like you are bitter. And it's hilarious.

Awww yeah, when you leave early it means you don't support the team! You should be there 100% of the time, get there early to tailgate for every single game, stick around for the post-game interviews and then get a tattoo of your favorite player on your back. That's "supporting" the team! Because when you leave early when your team is down 7 runs on a weeknight in a game

I was watching the game too. People started heading out after Swisher and Berkman got out in the bottom of the 8th. I don't know what game you were watching but it wasn't the one on TBS.

Everyone clap for mtb! He's such a true fan! He stays for EVERY single game from beginning to end. Clearly, he's so much more dedicated than people who've been fans of the team for many years but actually have jobs. You're so incredible! How DO you do it?!

I'm cramming for my Macro midterm. Thanks for the concern though.

No, no... it can't be... only Yankees fans are bandwagon fans because they... LEAVE EARLY

http://www.silive.com/jets/index.ssf/20 … ve_ea.html

Wait, hold on... fans leaving early after a WIN? HOLY SHIT, THOSE PATRIOT FANS... clearly, not supporting their team. Horrible people. Terrible fans, just terrible.

Oh Poseidon. Where did I mention every single game from beginning to end? And the "but actually have jobs" bit

If you can't read simple posts on the internet, I'm worried how well your "studying" is going to go over. Oh wait, it's Macro economics. Carry on.

And with this brilliant logic you're putting out, you must have your Masters in being a true fan! I'm so impressed, every sports fan in the world wishes they were as as you
