Conspiracy_Victim Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 No no no you see everyone the Yankees want should instantly recognize the greatness inherent in the organization and be falling all over themselves to sign for $1 a year. Wait a second.... There. Those pinstripe colored glasses I was trying on gave me a headache. As for AP, he was ready to resign with the Yankees but Steinbrenner kept putting him off to deal with every other free agent on the market. He never talked to Pettitte and basically made him look like a second tier guy. Then when he finally decided to talk to Andy he offers less than what the Astros offered. By the time he upped his offer Andy had already decided on the Astros. The Astros simply took a shot and it hit.
Guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 I wish that I could blindly love the Dodgers as TheDon loves the Yankees.
Precious Roy Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 We should have locked up Pettite before he even hit the open market. He was the best Yankee homegrown starter in decades, and helped us win 4 rings. Just the fact that it even came to offseason "negotiations" (we lowballed him all the way and never had any real intent of keeping him) was a slap in the face to the guy. The Andy Pettitte situation is basically a microcosm of what has gone wrong with this team the last couple years
Fökai Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 If the Marlins do poorly this year, I fully expect and will gladly accept any and all scathing comments. Okay, so they didn't do THAT bad, but still... No seriously--the Marlins won't win the East Quoted for future reference. Are you trying to humiliate me? I thought you were a Braves fan, bravesfan. That fills my quota of using the search engine. It's all in good fun though, Mik.
megaadvice Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Anyone else think that after a slow start this has been and could be one of the best September and October yet. There are sooo many things going on in baseball at the moment, Bonds returning and hes hitting home runs and if he and his team catch the Pardres it would be something special. The AL east, west, possibly the central if Cleavand keep it up are all tight races and we have Red Sox vs Yanks series and A's vs Angles eries to look forward to. Of course the MVP race in the AL is very intresting with I feel whoever guides their team to the post season will pick it up. There is still the NL wild card which can still change and all that is even before October.
Dobbs 3K Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Anyone else catch the Brewers/Cubs game last night? It was a pretty good game. Of course, I was happy the Brewers won, with Carlos Lee getting two RBIs and Jenkins hitting a three run homer. Nomar had a home run, which should turn some heads I guess. The Brewers are still pretty much out of the wild card race officially after getting swept by the Astros over the weekend, but maybe they can still make .500 this year.

I had a lot of faith in this team and by all accounts they should have done better. Oh well.
CanadianChris Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 Lou Piniella's done in Tampa: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2168523
Precious Roy Posted September 21, 2005 Report Posted September 21, 2005 LOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Guest Smues Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Randy has a no hitter through 4. JINX JINX JINX JINX JINX JINX JINX.
Guest Smues Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 base hit huzzah. and mlb.com already has on the front page that's his no hit bid is gone.
treble Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Felix Hernandez is no-hitting the Jays through 6 and making it look easy. Does it work if I try and jinx it?
Guest Smues Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 No. But don't worry mlb.com will do it for you.
treble Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 The Jays TV guys are doing their best job at jinxing it. Hopefully that works.
Bruiser Chong Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 It's clear Prior isn't right. Another high-pitch outing, as it's unlikely he'll make it past five. Then again he does have eight strikeouts and has driven in the only two runs for the Cubs. Christ, that's depressing. I still don't understand Dusty's logic of having Neifi godamn Perez batting leadoff.
Precious Roy Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Has there been a no hitter yet this year? I can't recall..... Fun game between the Phillies and Braves on ESPN, 6-6 in the 9th
Guest TheDon Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Yankees beat the Orioles and the Red Sox are losing to the Devil Rays. If the Devil Rays hold onto the lead the Yankees move half a game up on the Red Sox.
Guest TheDon Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Cleveland leads the White Sox 2-0 in the 8th inning. Make that 5-0. Wow only if Cleveland had won yesterday they would only be 1 1/2 games out of first instead of 2 1/2 games out.
Guest TheDon Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Yankees take over first place. Finally a little balance has been restored to this world.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Things just seem to even out in the end. Now all we have to do is finish with around a 5-6 game lead.
Boon Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 That last series is gonna be huge, b/c they're going to be fighting over first for the next two weeks- strap in, folks.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Well if Boston puts up a losing record for the rest of the season and the Yankees go just 2 over .500 the last series becomes irrelevant.
Boon Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Yeah, and if there are three toads sitting on a log in a pond that five unicorns are drinking out of at half past 3 a.m... Seriously- there are so many scenarios that could happen- just sit back and enjoy it.
Guest Fishyswa Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 I am, and I really, really will be if that scenario plays out....
Bruiser Chong Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 Corey Patterson reminds me of the kid in little league who didn't really wanna be there and was day-dreaming most of the time.
bob_barron Posted September 22, 2005 Report Posted September 22, 2005 I knew Ryan Howard was going to hit a Grand Slam. It's like my sixth sense of predicting doom for the Braves.
