The Joe.T Memorial FM® Yankees Suck Thread for 2008

[Joe.t]

Net result is that they are incapable of a World Series string like the Yankees between 1995 and 2003 - 6 appearances, 4 wins.

Ouchhh!!!!, last sighting has rumples at the hospital recovering from the sting of this post.

Oh by the way how many years did it take the Red Sox to win four World Series, my memory isn't what it used to be, damn I knew that all those years on shroons would catch up to me one day.

LOL Josey,

And E often accuses me of reacting too quickly and taking sides prematurely. So which is it??? Too bad "Joe you fucking moron" is already taken...lol. It won't be earth-shattering, but not as completely dull as Joe.t...and the .00001789439 seconds it took to come up with that.

Okay okay I appologize flip flopper might have been too strong of a word to use and I may have touched a nerve, so how does "undecided" or even better "confused" sound Korbie.

How Long?

Oh by the way how many years did it take the Red Sox to win four World Series, my memory isn't what it used to be, damn I knew that all those years on shroons would catch up to me one day.

Much longer than it took the Yankees to win five consecutive World Series between 1949 and 1953 or six out of seven between 1947 and 1953.

BTW some poster still considers that the Red Sox from the 1947 to 1953 era were a better team on paper. Guess who?

LOL Josey,

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The same guy who predicted Clemens would lead the Stankees to the World Series championship last year. You make me ROFLMAO! Geeez, what did he do for you...get you an matched autographed set of Yogi Berra's worn jock strap and Mantle's favorite shot glass.

Kissy kissy,

Oh by the way how many years did it take the Red Sox to win four World Series, my memory isn't what it used to be,

It took the Sox 14 years to become the first team to win 4 WS, 16 to win 5. They won the first WS ever in 1903; by 1918, they'd won 5.

That you did not include trading for Jason Bay says alot and defeats your previous point.

I'd ask you to explain this, but I'm sure you can't. Oh, hell, why don't you try and, if you'd be so kind, would you please make some sense when doing so. That I didn't include Jason Bay means that I'm not stupid enough to evaluate a trade after one day. You, on the other hand, clearly are too stupid to understand that.

All of the moves you mention came at a price.

Yes? What was the price of drafting all those fabulous young players? The price for Beckett and Lowell was high, but no one, except perhaps you, would argue that the price wasn't worth it. What, besides money, was the price of signing all those free agents, two of whom, Wakefield and Ortiz, can be ranked among the greatest bargains in baseball history.

You sure do say some stupid shit, EE. I've gotta say that this is probably the stupidest thing you've said since, um, yesterday.

 

[rumpleforeskiin]

Your own words betray your point.

Quite a statement. Would you care to back it up. I didn't think so.

Manny has the ability to make the players around him better evidenced by the positive impact he had on the offensive stats of David Ortiz(compare before Manny and after Manny) and the other Red Sox players.

Would you care to document this? I didn't think so.

So Manny's WS rings are a tribute to this ability

They certainly are. And the ability of Curt Schilling, David Ortiz, Dave Roberts, Keith Foulke, Jonathan Papelbon, Mike Lowell.....

Ignoring Facts

I'd ask you to explain this, but I'm sure you can't. Oh, hell, why don't you try and, if you'd be so kind, would you please make some sense when doing so.

You were the one who evaluated the Bay trade after one day hence the comment. Refer to your comment about Bay scoring two runs and Manny hitting into a double play.

The price for Beckett and Lowell could be justified by the WS win but it gets back to my comment about stellar choices. The Red Sox are capable of making good stop gap choices but all the players you mention are complimentary pieces. They are nowhere close to five tool position players that will solidify a position for 10 -15 years.

All i can say is that Jason Bay has had an immediate impact on the team. He's played great in both games he's played in. I really wish we'd have that Canadian boy patrolling the outfield in Toronto instead of in Boston. Having this more-than-capable ballplayer patrolling left field instead of that cancer Ramirez seems to have taken a lot of pressure off the team & who knows, it might even make the rest of the team play better. Having a player like Ramirez within the "me-myself-and-I" mentality on a team like the Red Sox must have been aggravating as hell. I mean, the prick even attacked a 70-year old man over a few baseball tickets! Good riddance for the Red Sox! Jason Bay is a quality individual who will be well-liked by not just the fans, but by his fellow players also. As a right-handed hitter, he'll be a gem in Boston.

Meanwhile, back at Chavez Ravine, poor Joe Torre has inherited a clubhouse cancer & a player who is also known as the Terrell Owens of MLB. Poor Joe!

I would have to disagree, did you see how Manny was mobbed by his teammates after hitting a home run last night, Manny was not happy and wanted out of Boston and that's why he was voted off the team, they are going to love him in LA, you just watch, if he tears it up the last two months of the season he will get his twenty million dollar contract as predicted by Ken Rosenthal.

Sure, he'll hit his homeruns. But he'll wind up burning his bridges there or anywhere else just like he did in Boston. A cancer's a cancer. Period.

By the way, an inside source claims that Ramirez tried to nix the trade & wanted to stay with the Sox:

Amid the inevitable he-said, she-said that results during the breakup between the Red Sox and a star player, agent Scott Boras denied a published report early yesterday that Manny Ramirez lobbied to return to the club up to an hour after Thursday's trading deadline. According to a published report, Boras called Red Sox officials about an hour after the 4 p.m. deadline and said Ramirez was having second thoughts about being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The story suggested Ramirez promised to give the team an honest effort over the final two months of the season if the Sox backed out of the trade. "Completely inaccurate," Boras said by phone from his home on the West Coast yesterday.

Joba's season over? Why are they hiding MRI results?

Yankees' playoff hopes fading if Joba can't go:

ARLINGTON, Texas — New York Yankees pitcher Joba Chamberlain will be examined by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews on Wednesday after undergoing an MRI on his ailing right shoulder.

Chamberlain returned to New York for tests on his shoulder Tuesday. The team said before its game against the Texas Rangers that it would not reveal the results of the MRI exam until Chamberlain is seen by Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. "He'll take his test results with him," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "Until I hear from Dr. Andrews, that's all I've got."

Chamberlain was removed from Monday night's start against the Texas Rangers in the fifth inning with what the club announced was a stiff right shoulder.

On Tuesday, Chamberlain flew back to New York and underwent a series of tests, including an MRI, at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan. The Yankees are already without No. 1 starter Chien-Ming Wang and right-hander Phil Hughes. Subtracting Chamberlain from the rotation would be a huge blow to the team's postseason chances. "I think we're all hopeful," Girardi said. "I hope we don't miss him for very long. But you think of a guy of Joba's caliber and you know he's going to miss a start, that doesn't mean the guy who replaces him can't pitch well."

Girardi said the 22-year-old right-hander would probably miss his next turn in the rotation. Anything longer would be a setback for the injury-riddled Yankees pitching staff. "I envision him not making his next start," Girardi said. "Beyond that, I can't say."

Girardi said his options for replacing Chamberlain include moving right-hander Darrell Rasner back into the rotation or recalling a pitcher from Triple-A Scranton. He said the Yankees will be cautious with Chamberlain, even in a close playoff race. "You're always careful with your players," Girardi said. "You don't want to jeopardize their long-term health. And we're talking about a 22-year-old kid here."

Hello Joe.t,

Funny how you change your tune to sing his praises now that he is no longer a Red Sox player. Aside from your hypocrisy, don't forget it takes more than one player to make a champion team. Look at all the extremely high priced meat that play for the Stankees. A-Rod is the ultimate example that you need much more than home runs to win it all. And don't forget that Manny had the benefit of hitting next to Ortiz just as Ortiz had the benefit of hitting next to him. So who knows how he will do now?

Cheers,

Korbel

Helllllooooooooo Josey,

Chamberlain placed on 15-day disabled list


ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Joba Chamberlain was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday by the New York Yankees, who had not yet revealed details about his injured pitching shoulder.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said before Wednesday night's game against Texas that he had no updates regarding Chamberlain's examination by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Alabama.

Chamberlain was sent to see Andrews after undergoing an MRI on his ailing right shoulder Tuesday. The 22-year-old right-hander was removed from Monday night's start against the Rangers in the fifth inning with stiffness in his shoulder.

Girardi said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman was flying back to New York on Wednesday, and an update on Chamberlain would likely come later.

New York called up reliever Chris Britton from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Chamberlain on the roster.

Looks like your odds of making the playoffs just dropped...a bit!

Toodaloo,

What fun would playoff baseball be without the Yankees in the hunt?

 

[Special K]

You have a good point seymour but I'm more worried about the comeback kid TB Rays! Another bottom of the 9th victory today.

 

[seymourhass]

It will take a major collapse by Tampa Bay and a red hot Yankee team to reverse the current trend. Admittedly, with the Chamberlain injury, it looks bleak. The Red Sox and the Yankees are the only two teams who can keep my interest past midnight.
