"Yankees Suck!!!"

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

As I have stated before I dislike the Yankees as I grew up a Dodger fan and hated the way the Yankees tried to buy championships but I must admit it would be very boring without them. As much as I hate to admit it I need the Yankees, well I need the Yankees so I can hate them. It gives me pleasure to see them fail. You see if they win I can say "well look at their payroll they should win every game" but if they lose oh the satisfaction. Anyone with me?

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

First i would like to say that i'm a die hard yankee fan since 2003 but first game i went to was 1999 or 1998. Now some may say im a frontrunner or something but im only 17 which would make me 12 ,13 at the time when i became one. Also if you know me in real life you would know i LOVE the yank's.
Now to the list.
1st Joe Torre will becoming back next year for the yanks, i believe George said what he said to get the team to win.
2nd A-rod will be back for the yanks next year, someone told me he said he will opt out if Joe is fired and George wants a-rod to stay.
3rd I know the yanks have the highest payroll but its because of what the players are getting payed. Yankees have more HOME GROWN players on the field(More than 50 games played) than WHO. YES THE RED SOX'S Lets go through them. Not pitchers
Yank's:Jeter(Gets payed alot but home grown,Cano,Jorge(payed alot), Melky.
Now the red sox'sustin that's IT. Don't say Jason because you guys traded for him when he was in the minors.

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

Yanks--so what happened before you were 12? You hated baseball or something? Did you have a favorite baseball team before that? And my favorite question...are you from NY? I can't stand people who say they are Yankees fans and have never set foot in NY. If you're from there or close to it, okay fine, but if you recently became one and didn't grow up one...and I mean grow up since you were say 5...than you're a front runner no matter what team you're a fan of. It's too easy to say, I'm a fan of team X if you're in your teens and pic a winning team. That goes for Sox fans or anyone else....I can't stand unloyal fans.

I just love it when the Yankees don't win because of their inflated payroll. Its nice to see that one can go out, over spend and think they have a World Series winner and yet, you can't buy a championship. Not when you have players that choke in big time situations.

Where is that Camero guy who had the thread about how AROD was going to go off the charts with his numbers this year?? I'll say he did improve from last year...he got one little RBI...first one since 2004 in the post season. Last year was 1-17....this year 4-15 1 HR 1 RBI and how many K's...5!!!!!!! So looks like I was right...he did turn from AROD to KROD!!!

Yes i do live in ny ,up past Albany.

Let me ask you this. If you have the money to buy a lamborghini or some fast car, why would you buy a piece of crap? You would go with the better/nicer item because you have the money. It's just like baseball if you have the money why would you buy the bad players and not the good ones.

I usually root for the underdog . For I really don't have a favorite team besides the Devil Rays . It currently is way too disastrous for ones health and mental well being to be get serious about the Devil Rays . Hell uv a difference between the Devil Rays and Diamondbacks .

I didn't know the whole Yankees team wouldn't show up for the playoffs . I said I was rooting for AROD to do good cause he gets such a hard time from fans and media . I was hoping he would do good . I usually like to see New York lose , like some of you's. But I wanted AROD to do good this year . Just before Arod hit his HR (in game 4), I said out loud he was going to hit one , cause just prior to that , the announcer had said Arod had no RBI's in the series.......can't argue with you on the KROD......Even Jeter hit into a Double Play with the bases loaded. Just wasn't meant to be........

The past couple of years I rooted for both Sox teams to win the WS .

Also I wanted the Cubs to win it all this year , cause it has been a long, long time for them . But we know how that ended ...........

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

Wow if those numbers are right thats surprising he did that as a Yankee. Why is it that he left such a bad taste in everyones mouth? I have only bad memories of Sandie as a Yankee.

Feel free to check behind me but that's the numbers that I found.

I believe you, I myself never got comfortable watching him out there. He sucked when it counted.

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

As a fairly neutral observer...

For all of his alleged "clutch ability", Jeter was 3/17 with no extra-base hits, no walks, and three GIDP. That's pathetic, especially from a #2 hitter and especially from someone who has this playoff reputation.

I wonder how long Chien-Ming Wang will pitch in the majors. He puts a ton of balls into play, and as the Yankees defense continues to erode from age and picking up "big names" such as the weak-armed Damon, those will turn into runs more and more often. Bill James pointed out that in the annals of MLB history, there has been exactly ONE pitcher who has had a long career with a K/9 ratio of less than 4.5. Wang has had:

2005 -- 3.64 K/9
2006 -- 3.13 K/9
2007 -- 4.696 K/9

I did tell one of my NY-based friends (who's a Mets fan, but that's beside the point) that I hoped Rodriguez would go 15/15 with 15 HRs and see the Indians get the sweep. Of course, 15 HRs in three games still wouldn't shut up the Skip Baylesses of the world

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

I think alot of people enjoy, like me, watching the Yankees lose because of their dominance in the payroll dept which leads to the ability to buy the best. Their loss proves that money isn't everything, which gives us a warm fuzzy feeling. I have always felt that the Yankees have had a holyier than thou attitude and I enjoy watching them lose. Hope the tribe goes all the way, 1948 was a long time ago...

Re: "Yankees Suck!!!"

And my favorite question...are you from NY? I can't stand people who say they are Yankees fans and have never set foot in NY.

It IS possible for someone to be a Yankees fan outside of the New York area. My dad lived in Hawaii and was a Yankees fan since the 50's as a teen. He never did step foot in New York, although his dream trip was to see a game at Yankee Stadium. In fact, he was considering a Steiner Meet and Greet session with Jeter back in July, but health issues prevented him from traveling long distances. He enjoyed their World Series championships and also endured the Yankees lean years and post-season woes all the way until he died this past August. He was buried with a Yankees cap and jersey in his casket.

Kind Regards,

Ron.
