The Messiah he walked among us this afternoon. Sadly, he allowed 3 runs in 5 innings; should have been worse but for some bad baserunning by the Orioles and a few at-em balls. If young Hughes is the best second coming of Walter Johnson impression the Yanks can muster, they could be in for another 40 years in the Sinai.
The Joe.T Memorial Yankees Suck Thread for 2007

Watching both as well. Simply put, he sucked today. That bothers me less than the fact that the Sox didn't score 15 runs against a second rate pitcher.Doc Holliday said:

Yup, you can smell Dice-Ks pitching today easier than Boston harbor. Did he switch something with Gagne...DAMN. I like Matsuzaka, but when he blows it he blows it early and in large chunks. Why he is allowed to stay in the game when that happens is a mystery.
Can't wait for Joe. t to swoop in and act like the all-knowing genius he ain't. My prediction is Joe will act like a schmoe...again. Hey Joe. t...your Huges who you said would be "LIGHTS OUT" for the rest of the year got beat, oh great prophet of WRONG!

Yes my good man he is a fine addition and with Giambi back and Damon just about to get red hot(my prediction) we should be set, boy did D-Mat ever stink out the joint against the worst team in baseball, tired arm perhaps? meanwhile the predicted collapse is well under way and the Yankees should be 2 games back by Monday.
Lol
Hello Joe. t,
I see you are writing for the Enquirer again. That should make a perfect match to your fortune telling enterprise. Who can tell where the standing will be in the future. Now that the Yankers seem a bit healthier you may be able to stick around more instead of hiding when you lose. But as for Damon, I think you are spitting into the wind and you will be wearing it on your face with that one...lol.
Bronx cheers,
Korbel

Boy, I miss Beav. Doesn't take much of a losing streak to send him back to the dam.
Hey, Joe, too bad the Yanks can't play 162 against Chicago and Tampa Bay, no?

Easy there bubblehead, good luck to your Red Sox who are going up against one of the best pitchers in baseball today(Lackey) and one of the best teams, they will be lucky to get one win in the series and not because they are going up against the Angels its because it is August and we all know what happens to the Sox every August, need i refresh your bonehead memory to last year.rumpleforeskiin said:
Lol
Geeeeez, I luv you buddy...you make me laugh so. I am sure your concern for the Sox against the Angels comes form the heart, you great big "HUMANITARIAN"...lol. Need I refresh your pinstripe addled memory. Obviously you forgot how many key injuries there were on the Sox at this time last year with five or six starters including three critical pitchers Schilling, Clement, Papelbon, ...and Beckett wearing down too. So don't pat yourself on your Yankers back for last year unless you are the kind who gets off on beating cripples. I luv ya Joe...but try to write like you aren't toally poisoned by the visions of long past Yanker pseudo achievements founded on exhorbitant amounts of CASH!
Ooooops, Yankers played a good team and didn't bomb them out of the park. Geeee, what happened to those proud high pitch counts and screaming home runs this time. As I said...and predicted...things change when you face "QUALITY"...LOL!
Manly hugs,

As usual Korbel you have absolutely no fucking clue what you are talking about. Last night, Verlander threw 119 pitches in 5.1 innings. That is not a high pitch count? That is an acceptable pitch count? For who? Fact is he barely survived, and the Yankees lost due to a bad start by Mussina. Verlander's most pitches this year in a start was 120 and that was a much longer than 5.1 inning stint.
Of course the facts will never get in the way of your postings, so it's basically a celebration of ignorance to respond to them. I can only say LOL to all of the nonfactual BS you post like what is quoted above. You clearly don't know shit about baseball. The people who do know something know that 119 pitches in 5.1 innings ain't good.

Really, Joe, you fucking moron, I wonder how any Red Sox fan could possibly be anything other than quaking at the speed with with the Sox are collapsing.Joe.t said:
At the All Star break, after 86 games, the Yankees trailed the Sox by 9 1/2 games. Today, 36 games later, the Yankees creampuff schedule now a distant memory, the lead has crumbled to 6 games. At this rate, the Yanks should catch the Sox somewhere around November 1.
Eat this EB...lol.
Hello all,
GM: A-Rod gone from Yanks if he opts out
That the Yankees won't go after Alex Rodriguez on the free-agent market is nothing new. But yesterday was the first time general manager Brian Cashman confirmed that, first in a radio interview on WFAN and then to reporters at Yankee Stadium. "How can we?" Cashman said. "We'd lose all our money from Texas." Rodriguez's former team, the Rangers, will contribute more than $30 million of the remaining $81 million that A-Rod would make on the final three years of his current contract. If Rodriguez opts out of his contract, which he can do after this season, any new deal the Yankees would sign with him would be entirely their responsibility. "That, financially, doesn't make sense," Cashman said. Cashman also reiterated that the Yankees had never spoken with either Rodriguez or agent Scott Boras about renegotiating A-Rod's contract midseason, as was reported after the All-Star break. Though Rodriguez would likely command a record contract as a free agent, he has said several times throughout this season that he wants to remain a Yankee. He has until 10 days after the World Series to opt out. "We hope he doesn't opt out, we hope he stays," Cashman said. "He's said publicly he wants to stay. We've said publicly we want to keep him." -- Star-Ledge
How do you like those FACTS???
Chew Carefully,
Korbel

Korbel, I personally think Cashman is full of shit and bluffing. My sense is that he'll be hanging $150 M over 5 years in from of Scott Boras before the Sox finish piling on each other in celebration.
Hello EB,EagerBeaver said:
How limited. The point was the Oriole's pitchers threw 192 pitches in that game and the theory given by your boy was the mighty Yankers would win if they could drive the pitch count high enough. Well, isn't that high enough? And you still lost. Maybe the Yankers should be allowed 10 strikes per batter to help them out...lol. Obviously, your pissy little boy pouting mood comes out of your frustration that the billionaire boys club couldn't win in any case, and the fact that you have no other impulse but to be a genetically perfect Jack Cass. You are soooooo darn laughable.
Piss on pretentious pseudo intellectual brat,

Thanks Korbel
Thanks for posting the FACT that a significant part of A-Rod's salary is paid by Texas - another fact that Rumples overlooks. I was going to post this elsewhere but you beat me to it - well done.
In the internet age Rumples, the data that you wish to suppress or deny eventually surfaces.

Cashman is Smart
Cashman is much smarter than that. Let A- Rod go saving the Yankees $51 million in salary and the Rangers $30 million in salary. Then move a player or two from the Yankees overpaid group to Texas for prospects in a fashion that sees Texas apply a good part of the $30 million to cover the Yankees contractual obligations.

Assessment of team salary.
Are you saying that when each team was assessed for it's official salary cap totals that this "fact" was't taken into account? Or are you just trying to stick in to Rumples on the subject of A-Rod specifically? It would seem that offical team salary totals would be adjusted the same way for every team within all the same variables?
Hmmmm,

What I am Writing
The USAToday figures posted by you and alluded to by myself are Opening Day figures. Rumples was quick to point out this fact. In later posts Rumples harps on the fact that Clemens pro-rated salary is not included while conveniently omitting that other adjustments have to be made as well.
These adjustments would include a team paying part of a contract per the date stipulated in the agreement between the two clubs, any contract insurance collected for injured players with insured contracts plus any other upward or downward adjustments. In the case of the Yankees,Rumples seems to be interested only in upward adjustments omitting all downward adjustments. Not a very objective approach.

Gagne...AGAIN.
Hello all,
Well, Gagne screwed up again after another fine effort by Beckett...5 Hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 Runs, 8 Strikeouts in 7 innings. Yes, Delcarmen gave up two runs also. In 34 pitches Gagne gives up 3 Hits, 3 Runs, 3 ER, 1 BB with the game on the line. Two blown games directly responsible to him in little over a week and 1 blown game he helped to give away. Now that is a pretty good defintion of...
SUCK!

First off, Korbel, it's not "salary cap" totals, but "luxury tax" totals. The Yankees are receiving approximately 7 M per year from the Rangers to offset A-Rod's salary; of course, the Yankees are also paying the some of the salary of Randy Johnson and I'm sure several others. The Yankees opening day payroll was $189 M. To that, they add Clemens $18 M. The money paid to and received from other teams are factors here only in EE's poor confused brain.Korbel said:
Second off, the Yankees are likely paying insurance on the contracts of some of their players and even possibly receiving payments from insurance companies compensating them for service lost by injured players. What these figures are, if they are, we'll never know as they're not public and are never part of any rational discussion of the salary issue. One thing, again, that we do know for sure is that, as insurance companies are "for profit" corporations, the Yankees, if not this particular year, are paying more, over time, in premiums than they are receiving in benefits. This would, of course, apply to other clubs as well. Again, these figures are not public and are never part of the discussion, except within the confines of the brain of one poor confused man in Montreal.
