Official New York Yankees Thread

[AZGrizFan]

Let's just say we probably won't be seeing the Yankees or the Diamondbacks in the WS this year!

Pretty early to say that for either team.

I'll bet you a million monoply dollars.

7-3 NYY Bottom 8

Even a broke clock is right twice a day.

[Willie]

Wow I forgot to give the final score. It was 7-3.

[danefan]

so apparently at the new Yankee Stadium, if you hit the ball in the air over the first and second basemen's heads the homerun fairies will magically carry it into the right field seats.

Glad I have right field seats for the May 2nd game.

[Willie]

Yeah in the first four regular season games at the new stadium, there has been 20 home runs.

I think it has a lot less to do with engineering and a lot more to do with shitty pitching.

[Willie]

Yeah because the dimensions are EXACTLY the same as the old ballpark. Who knows what the explanation is.

Could it be that you overpaid for your players again???


Florida -----something like 28 million
A-ROD------something like 25 million


When one guy is making what a whole other team makes...you might have over paid a few people. Starting pitching is a great place to start.

[Willie]

Same thing I say to every single person that brings up the money situation. If you have the $$ spend it, if you don't, shut the fuck up about what other teams spend. There are owners who have more money than Steinbrenner but they don't spend it like he does, so they have no room to speak.

[wideright82]

Inside dimensions are, but geographically at a different angle, and the different aspects to the stadium around the field may cause different gusts or ball flight patterns. STILL, terrible pitching hasn't helped any. Posada's homerun was a little suspect (not that it wasn't a home run, just that it carried a LONG way).

1 bad starting pitcher, who has been pretty lights out the past couple years, does not make place to say over paying. Fact is, once again, our issue is in relief.

[Willie]

Yeah I hate to say it but I think it's time to move Joba back to the 'pen and find another starter for cheap.

[wideright82]

I done been sayin this Willie. We have 2 decent relievers, and a 3rd (Joba) would really round out this team. Who to replace him with?

Don't you guys have a farm system with a good up and coming pitching prospect

You know their farm system is only good for one or two players every 15 years. They still have Jeter, Rivera, and Joba on their team. Their farm system is cleaned out right now

That's what I was gonna say, until I thought about our farm system
