Ok. Let's see how this all works out for you going forward under MLB's present structure and the Yanks present ownership. Like I said, you'll be rebuilding the next two years after this while the Mets will be competing for rings.


Like I said..

Mets are just happy to be there :)

My fellow Mets fans should not be arguing in this thread. Our thread only has 12 replies. Do you like the Mets or do you hate the Yankees? Jeez

We have a thread? :lol:

But to your point, New Yorker arguing about baseball is like drinking coffee in the morning. I grew up on a block filled with kids who argued Jets/Giants, Mets/Yankees, Rangers/Islanders. So, this is nothing. Besides, I just came over here to tweak my Yankees friends. All in good fun my friend.

My boy was at the game. Said he looked sharp.

The A's have a deal where for $200 you can go to as many games as you want for a month (it might be 2 months not sure), and they randomly seat you. May be upper deck it may be lower. To this game it was lower for him. Thought ya'll would get a kick out of this since thats probably close to the price of a lower bowl seat at Yankee stadium.

This money coming off the books + young talent + Free Agency in the next couple of years will have the Yankees booming again. Also, they started off extremely slow, but have been winning lately so props to them for not giving up. It's a long season. About 115 more games to go!


Brian Cashman has been GM for the Yankees since 1998 when he inherited an embarrassment of riches from Watson and Michael. Tell me since he's taken over...what compelling player has he drafted?

Phil Hughes? Ian Kennedy? Joba Chamberlain? Three players that the Twins said, we'll take any 2 out of 3 for Johan Santana in his PRIME.

Where's the highly prized Austin "Action" Jackson now? Not doing that good with the White Sox after time with the Tigers.

Now, we're talking about the highly prized Luis Severino called up midway last season, teams are fouling off his fastball and waiting to tee off him. As a result, he is 0-6 with a ERA 7+ who had no business staying in the rotation that long. Now he's on the DL.

People complain about the Yankees finishing first all those years? Ask the Red Sox how's their farm system? It's stocked better.

The Yankees do not have a mission statement to win at any cost. That's the Dodgers!

The Yankees mission statement is win so long as Hal is happy with the team taking less coin.

First time all year, Pineda looked good. Yanks zeroing in on .500 for the first time all season.

Playing much better. CC looks like a legit rotation pitcher again.

Beltran has been a beast.

Just have the lead after 6 innings and the game is over. easier said than done, but this team will be unbeatable if that happens

If we can get Teixeira to start bombing the ball, then this team will make a run to 10+ games above .500

I personally believe the combination of Girardi being able to scrape together 80something wins, our dominant bullpen, and the acquisition of Castro can keep us competitive until the late summer. I'm not saying we're a division winner, but older players normally take a few months to get in the groove at the plate. Wait until A-Rod comes back and Mark starts to hit. After that, I'm hoping Severino returns and gets another crack at the rotation. He really was our X-Factor last year.

In the ever ending world of "coulda ,shoulda" boy a lot of guys that the Yankees were rumored to be serious in during free agency looking real good right now.
