The Dames

Steve Lyons' point about keeping men on base until you can get that homer... He doesn't sound so silly now, huh? Dames

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God DAMN I love this team! Dames

I am marking out HARD for Carlito...Carribean... COOL. Dames

I think Gagne's sickest stat in the whole impressive turn that he's had in the past 2 years is that only ONE batter during save opportunities... ONE MAN... has reached third base. Now that's sick. I gots to give him props, no doubt. Dames

Sorry, not me. Gagne's run for the saves record helped rejuvanate my love for the game. I'd been in a baseball slump since the Sosa/McGwire chase. I was bummed when Barry broke Big Mac's new record, with relative ease. Not that I have anything against Barry, but it didn't even seem like he was trying. It probably would be different if I was a Dodgers fan. As for the saves record, I'm not trying to deny anything that Gagne has done or will do, but it's not Mariano's fault that he hasn't been in nearly as many save opportunities. That's what happens when you normally win by more than 3 runs, you know. Dames

....This might seem off topic, but any time Eric Gagne's name is brought up, who here thinks about Verne and the AWA first? Always happens to me. Dames

Hmmm...let's see. Since Jeter joined the Yankees in his rookie year, they've won the AL East EVERY YEAR, have 4 WS rings, with 6 appearances at the big dance. They've practically built the team around him to the point that they told the highest paid player and arguably the best player in baseball, A-Rod...to move positions. Oh and he's Captain of the team. Yeah, I'd say the guy is pretty good. Dames

I'd love to see Houston/NY for the series, btw...just to see Clemens & Pettite come back to the Stadium and seeing what happens there. Dames

1. A mortal Mariano Rivera is better than 90% of closers in the league ANYWAY. 2. You're right about the pitching. That's been my biggest complaint all year. Dames

If the ball A-Rod hit went about 3-5 feet farther, he'd get all the credit. Dames

Sox fans don't want us to lose now... They want to (try to) do it. The Twins just woke up the Yankees...and the Sox fans know it. Dames

Do you randomly taunt at the top of ramps? I don't need a ramp. Shit, when my phone goes off, two things happen... 1. Everything I do is in slow motion for a few seconds... 2. I decide whether or not the person calling is worth picking up the phone and ending the song. Dames

...I can't WAIT to go into work tomorrow and face off against all the shit talkers. Dames

...Here's a funny little tidbit for ya... Evolution's full theme is my phone ringtone and I play it whenever I deem appropriate....which is most of the time Dames

*plays Evolution's theme and poses* *pyro goes off in my living room* Dames

WHAT !!!!! SON!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Fucking SCHOOLED it. Dames

WHAT !!!!! SON!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!! Fucking SCHOOLED it. Dames

And to think...I didn't even want A-Rod on the Yanks. ...Eh, looks like it worked out for now. Dames

Sac fly anyone? Dames

WHAT THE FUCK DID I TELL YOU ALL! NEVER LOSE HOPE... Dames

Fuck that...I was born in 1980. That means I didn't get to see the Yankees get into the PLAYOFFS until 1995. They're making up for lost time as far as I'm concerned. I'm still mad Mattingly never got his ring. I probably always will be. Dames

...IF we lose this game tonight (see how I never lose hope)... It wouldn't be the first time we'd be down 2-0 in the ALDS...and we've come back before. Dames

Jax was SUCH a fucking jobber. Dames

We didn't ask him to give up a HR. Dames

That HR just KILLED Sturtze's confidence. Dames
