Kylilin Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 I have to agree with some of what you said, there are a lot, I mean, a lot of bandwagon Yankee fans out there. They are the people who give Yankee fans a bad name. The real Yankee fans, the peopl who rooted for the Yanks when Mattingly was hurt and Kevin Maas was the first baseman, those people are the true fans, and they are as loyal as any fans you can find in the world. I support Joe Torre no matter what decision he makes, but being in New York, where the Yankees are a religion, his moves are going to be analyzed and over analyzed, its just the nature of New Yorkers.

abcd1234 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I agree with Darth Groovy and ET Warrior. Baseball doesn't even come close to hockey on the coolness scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a Yankee game is gonna cost you Yankee fans BIG bucks. Doesn't bother me much. We don't need A-Rod. We already have good basemen. If we need anything, its more (better) pitchers.

Reborn Outcast Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Originally posted by Kylilin Ahem...last season the New York Yankees, totales 3,465,600 in attendance at home. They totaled 2,191,745 on the road. And then take a look at all the high profile players they have on their lineup. And for craps and giggles... Kenny Lofton Derek Jeter Alex Rodriguez Jason Giambi Gary Sheffield Jorge Posada Hideki Matsui Enrique Wilson Ruben Sierra THAT'S THE LINEUP! THAT'S INSANE. That's the reason people come to watch. Do you think they come because they hope their Devil Rays can beat the Yankees? No, they come for the players. Originally posted by Rogue Nine Oh, let's hate the Yankees because they keep winning! That's like saying, let's hate the Chicago Bulls of the mid-90's because they won year after year. That's like saying let's hate the Boston Celtics for winning in the 70's because they kept winning every year. No, they didn't have insane amounts of money and amazingly high profile players. They we're just plain GOOD. They had talent from obscured players. Go ahead and name some players from the 70's Celtics besides Bird, and possibly Danny Aigne. Originally posted by Rogue Nine End off with Theo Epstein, Manny Ramirez and of course, John Henry Williams. Keep being bitter. Actually... Theo Epstein was the greatest thing to happen to the Red Sox. Originally posted by Rogue Nine They know how to win. Year after year, no matter what the circumstances, they are perennial postseason contenders. And for that, the rest of the baseball world hates them. Actually it's because of their high-profile players, and for the past years, ONLY the Red Sox have been their contenders in the AL East. And even then, the Yanks blew 'em away. But this year, the Orioles are STACKED, and the Blue Jays are good. And the Red Sox got even better with their AMAZING pithing line-up. Darth Vader down there in Yank Town made a huge blunder by not going for amazing pitching. This year the competition is more tough, so the Yanks won't be able to walk their way through like they always have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZBomber Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 And I know this is off topic, but I thought it was funny how "Darth Vader" sad he didn't like his team being called the "evil empire. :D" That was said about a response to something Epstein said about A-Rod......

Rogue Nine Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 When the Yankees won their last World Series in 2000, they didn't have a good deal of their "high-profile" current lineup. Back then, it was still the core group of Yankees going strong from '96. It pains me to say it, but the Yanks haven't won themselves any World Series with their current high-price talent. They won those championships on talent and timely hitting and pitching. And Scott Brosius, remember him? And for the record, I'd hardly call Kenny Lofton, Enrique Wilson and Ruben Sierra "high-profile." As for pitching, the Yankees do have an excellent pitching staff and a great bullpen. The only weak spot is the lack of left-handed starters. But they have Mike Mussina, Javier Vazquez, Kevin Brown, Jose Contreras and Jon Lieber. Contreras has a year under his belt and should be ready for this year and when Lieber and Brown are healthy, they're downright excellent. So don't be knocking the Boss for that. By the way, our owner can beat up your owner. NYah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
