But, since you are so connected, or at least play that role on the internet, why don't you ask the Steinbrenner's and come on back and tell us. I for one can't wait for more insider knowledge. :zz:

i never said i knew any of the stienbrenners personally , my comments were based on how geroge reacted in the past on certain high priced free agents - there would have been a story / a challenge to TEX already in the daily news by now , any yankee fan knows that and knows the reason why there hasn't been

scuds made a point about the guy being a differnce makers , and that is what he was brought in here to be - so far through 1 month of the season he has been a major disappointment
Well, I am mistaken about their goals. I thought a guy making over 20 mil a year would be expected to be a difference-maker, but he's just another high-priced bat brought in for more fire power. Yanks keep lowering what they want done in return for 20 mil a year.

Well it's better than Fantasy League (with nothing on the line.) There's always this game for those who don't like to bet games of skill:

I just think he thought it's easier to piss away money than to have to build something.

You are kind of a bag-Carrier for the stars, but I can't say that's the worst strategy in life.

They want to buy a WORLD SERIES, and it can't be done. You must have some young a-s-s kickers of your own.

It could be done, you just need to buy the right players.

Stop crying already. You didn't put out an opinion. You acted like it was some fact, because you think you're some insider. It's a joke and myself and many others called you on it.


never said it was a fact - it was a personal opinion

and to think the 1st injury had nothing to do with what happened later on is nonsense - everything had to go perfect for QR after the Fl derby for him to make it to KY - that's they way i formed my opinion

Where are all the Yankee basher's? No post's since the end of April.

Oh that's right, they are winning now so the Yankee haters disappear. And that Texeria guy is just a terrible, no clutch player.

Amazing!!

Exactly, that's my point. The Yanks were being bashed in April, just having a little fun.

What could you say, maybe Gales was a bit premature in calling the guy a bust 4 games into a 8 year contract. :rolleyes:

hay i'm glad he is hitting , for those that don't think a-rod is worth what he is worth well , will leave it at that

the bottom line for the yankees and me as a fan is that nothing short of a world championship is a failure , winning a round in the playoffs or getting to the world series and not winning will be a failure - we'll see what happens in Oct - right now it looks like they will get there in some form , what they do or what Tex does in the big spots will determine if he wins over the fans or not

One thing that has to be suprising to all is the DEFENSE the yankees are playing. 17 straight games tonight without an error. Thats either a record or close to it.

I didnt like the way this team was put together and i still dont think a championship is going to happen. But looking at the defense and the come from behind wins, this is becoming a rather likable team.

Okay another reason to like this yanks team. Did you watch the highlights from the game against texas last night? Texiera gets beaned. Next play he runs hard and takes out the shorstop to break up the double play. Next inning, Burnett throws a little 90+ chin music at the opposing batter. Good, hard nosed old school baseball.

Very Likable.

They are a very different animal this year. They seem to be a much looser TEAM as opposed to a bunch of highly overpaid mercenaries with their own agendas. They are playing with passion and dare I say it, they seem to be having fun. Prior season they were a very boring team to watch ( I would actually perfer to watch the Mets, they were just a more entertaining team). But this is a different team that I enjoy to watch. Hopefully they continue to play like this.
