Too bad Yank's
Well my off season is a little easier to take now that the bombers are out of it. The curse of A-Rod continues  MVP A-Rod 2 for 15. Now to see who George goes out and buys in the off season to see if we have a chance to compete. Torri Hunter? P. |

A-Rod is A-FRAUD and A-DOG.
Mussina is a Mu-sissy
The Big Unit is breaking down becoming a Not-So-Big Unit
Sheff plays right field like Shemp
Center field is now empty (Bubba?)
Left field is also now empty
I predict that Giambi will NOT pass his drug test next spring

a-rod is still the best player in baseball and this year's mvp, although it seems to only be during the regular season.  looks like we're going to see a whole new outfield next year. i'd like to see rowand from the white sox in center, that kid is top notch. i'll take vlad the impaler in right and maybe ichiro in left batting lead-off with jeter batting second? it's only 1 day after so i guess i'll stop now. oh yeah, cano got rooked on that call. goodbye. |

I don't think Vlad and Ichiro are free agents. 
Whadda ya have to trade that's worth the two of them?
Angels don't need anything you have to trade, and Seattle can't afford to pay anyone that's worth what Ichiro would bring. You'd have to eat a good part of whoever's traded salary and pay Ichiro his full salary. I don't think the Angels would be interested in trading Vlad (one of the real good guys in the clubhouse) straight up for Sheff (a clubhouse cancer), do you? |

Maybe he should play for the Braves. Great regular season terrible post season. He is one of the best I would not say the best, you Lakeville living yankee lover you. NY papers killed him the next day. Still never won anything yet. Curse of A-Rod.  How does it feel. Paul |

I'm with you professor, just love to see the yanks lose! As much as I love the rsox I do find it a little humorous that the teams with the biggest payrolls are gonna be watching the WS from home. Something really has to be done to even the playing field in baseball so that all teams compete. Maybe not this year but statistically speaking, buying championships does work, the yanks are proof of that.

The red sox might be a better example. With the exception of nixon and varitek, almost everyone on the roster has been bought within the last few years. Not to mention, five players on the yankees' active roster have never played for any other team other than the yanks. If you look at the last time the yankees won the world series (2000), there were seven players then that have only played with the yanks. Facts and figures do show that the yankees obviously pay an insane amount of money on their players, just because they can. The red sox, on the other hand can't afford to pay their players as lucratively, however, they purchased a lot more players at a lower cost. If you look at it on the other hand, if the red sox did have the same money as the yankees, do you honestly expect that the red sox will still pay what they're paying now, or would they make the same offers the yankees make. All in all, the yankees pay more for fewer players, while the red sox pay less for more players...with that in mind, in order to beat the yankees, you gotta be the yankees; especially in this day and age where baseball, sadly, is now becoming more and more business-minded, rather than it just being a game.
Lastly, I think this rivalry has taken a turn for the worst, it probably started off innocently, but lately, after living in boston for the last two years, I can see that it's much more than a simple rivalry, it's full-blown hatred that should be toned down a lot. You guys beat the yankees, and finally got your world series trophy in an epic postseason series that no one will ever forget, now what more do you need? |
God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day,
And when it comes to my last cast, I most humbly pray,
When in the Lord's safe landing net I'm peacefully asleep,
That in His mercy I be judged, as big enough to keep.

quoting the prof' up above: "Now to see who George goes out and buys in the off season to see if we have a chance to compete."
Well, it seems GS's attention is going to have to include a pitching coach - since Mel Stottlemyre called it quits. Can't say as I blame him - 'cause of the way Steinbrenner treats some of his players and coaches. Like Don Zimmer, to use just one example.
'Been following baseball for a good many years. No favorite teams, just enjoy watching crisp well played baseball. And while rivalries are all part of the game, I never could understand the mutual hatred shared by some Red Sox and Yankee fans. Just uncontrolled misplaced anger (imo). But on the other hand, to each his own, I suppose.

This rivarly has had hatred involved in it for many many years, not just recently. It will never tone down. That is what makes it great.  |

I have heard/read interviews from members of the '78 Sox team who said that they had a true "hatred" of the Yanks. |
