dem guts must be filled with the spirit of victory cuz Verlander been pitchin like he wanna get her a ring.

If the Yanks get swept i can't wait to see NY implode.


Implode?

:heh:

You try too hard. The city is far from depressed, and if anything, really don't love THIS Yankee team like that.

Maybe if you weren't a Johnny come Lately ass niqqa, you'd know that the same complaining we're doing now over this team was talked about since the beginning of the summer.

I don't think anyone was confident in this team , the only thing Was CC last few starts and how cano went into the playoffs . The cano thing didnt manifest so :sadbron:
By the way upton is a smut she was on wdan last year after the giants won the Super Bowl and they were trying to hook her up with Sanchez on boomer / carton morning show . She was instead saying how she was trying to bag victor Cruz at some party she had seen him at and was trying to get him to be her valentine, well his gf had just had his kid so thru we're telling her that and she was still saying she wanted to be hooked up with Cruz

The move to keep A-Rod on the bench was a disgrace and they never even planned on using him to pinch hit he never took his jacket off. I'm pretty sure he's done for the series. Man the pitching has been solid and these useless hitters can't get out of there on way enough to win 1 of these 3 games it's pathetic. I know changes are almost impossible but I want them I don't know how but you have to try. Ichiro earned his stay in my eyes and I'm sure he will.

I'm really sickened by the dikkriding Darling and Co. gave the Tigers pitching staff as if the Yankees pitching hasn't been just as dominant.

If anything, I'm looking forward to our rotation next season, minus Petitte since he's still up in the air about coming back.

I'm aware you guys had no love for this team, in fact, you guys truthfully shouldn't have beaten the O's. However, getting swept for the first time in 30 some odd years? :mindblown:

Yanks fans/press are perhaps the most spoiled fans in sports. Admit this. You guys have had absolutely awesome teams for majority of the past 20 years.

so lemme rephrase....I can't wait to see the NY Press implode upon the Yanks. :youngsabo:

he isn't going anywhere with that contract.
I know that's what I figure but what's going on with them benching him :snoop: I mean are they planning to have a 114 mil bench player next season ? They threw him under the bus and scapegoated him . Like they even took away the injury excuse saying he's healthy . They can't trade him idk what the plan is

This is exactly how i feel and how can they trot him
Out there next year ? Yet they can't get rid of him they surprisingly made him sympathetic to people cause they see everyone struggling yet him being blamed . It makes no sense and read my post on the lineup I wrote on the previous page

Zero sense.

Cano nor Granderson, considering they're going to be here the next several year, should not be able to live down their horrible performance in these playoffs. I don't understand how a collective failure has been pinned down to one player in A-Rod....worst of all, is dumb ass Girardi legitimizing that stupidity.

What does the past have to do with this team not being liked? We're spoiled cause this team was horrible with risp all season and went into a similar offensive talespin Losing a ten game lead ? :comeon: the media and the fans saw this team looking one and done for months. The only grace was the orioles were worse last series and didn't have a ace .
Yet we still drew 3.5 million fans this season more than the tigers ( and this was a down year mind you ) this team wasnt exciting and the park is getting less fan friendly .
That moat was a horrible idea and they Need to get rid of it oh and randy Levine cause he's a jerk

I really don't know what's the deal here. they can't buy him out. he's here for the foreseeable future.

this is what the front office gets for being greedy. they saw the HR record, they saw dollar signs, now they're tryna save face by making their puppet...................er..................manager put him as the poster boy of the team's failures.

:why:Its very confusing guess we have to await girardis book when he retires . And girard being unlikable and binder driven don't help at least Torre could sway the media while girardi can't

Exactly. Trying to get us to neglect the fact that this has been a team wide failure bigger than A-Rod that many of us have seen coming.

The only way to get rid of A-Rod will be to package him with some talent, pick up some money or take a bad contract like Crawford back.

Benching A-rod was pointless, we were either going to win or lose with the guy.

Joe Girardi has to be happy that talk of the binder has been passed on to Mitt Romney.

Can't get Crawford back. Contract states that if Sox traded him, that team cannot trade him to us. :shaq2:

I think we're stuck with him. It's 5 guaranteed years with potential performance bonuses (HR milestones) we're talking about...not just 1 or 2.

Maybe Ca$hman can find a way though...who knows.
