this is getting ridiculous.

analyst after analyst said that Tex was going to the Sox; i think every single one covering baseball lol.
but i had the faith! & Christmas came early! ;) 8) ;D
-
you guys were all giddy when the Yanks didn't go anywhere in October
well, missing the playoffs is the WORST thing for the other 20 something teams in baseball because the Steinbrenners are on a rampage to improve this team
CC, AJ, Tex...3 of the biggest 4 names on the market. Manny is the oldest, so he was the best one NOT to sign...AND THERE'S STILL TIME LEFT TO GET HIM lol
lets get Brian Fuentes too, for the pen
-
^why not?
Fuentes wont cost near the other 4 lol.
he could be huge too!
-
did we forget Nick Swisher?
i think we did

Must be nice to be a Yankee fan

I hate being a fuckin Mets fan. I have no problem with the Yanks shelling out money like this. What pisses me off the Mets won't even spend a quarter of what the Yanks spend. I am not asking the Mets to sign every big name free agent. But our fucking owner is too fuckin cheap to eat the remaining 18 million of Luis Castillo's contract and make a run at Orlando Hudson. They won't sign Lowe or re-up with Oliver Perez. We will be stuck with Tim Redding or Randy Wolf. The Mets are getting a new stadium and will make record revenue the next couple of season b/c of that. They are the third most valuable franchise in basenball. And after the Mets had two monumental choke jobs all reports are stating the Mets are looking to cut payroll. Props on the Yanks on signing Texeria. I know this has nothing to do with the mets but reading the Yanks shelling out all this money it just pisses me off even more to be a Mets fan. This is why the Yanks are a first class organization and the Mets are 2nd rate. The Yanks get a new stadium and say "even more revenue to put towards the club". The Mets way of thinking is, " well we sell out every game the next 2-3 seasons so we'll make our money regardless"
-
why don't the Mets move to a new city? that way they won't be in the shadow of the real team (like the clippers)

If the Mets were run like a competent franchise there would be no need top move to get out of the shadow. There was a time when the Mets ran the city and the Yanks were in the shadow back between 1985-1990. Of course the Mets couldn't handle that right and threw that success away with booze and coke. Hell even in 2006 the Mets were starting to take the city back and they couldn't even do that right.
-
but if the Mets moved to a place where baseball is needed....oh lets just say Montreal (jk) they won't always be compared to the Yankees and Sawx
but then again, being in NY automatically means people who hate the Yanks will sympathize with the Mets lol
-

i think we did
i forgot, but damn! :o
dude can swing a bat.
i dont think he can fill Abreu's shoes, but he'll do. ;)

A National League team is needed in NY. Even though the rest of the country American / National league means shit, having both still means a lot in NY. That goes to show you how deep the Dodger / Giant influence went in NY. Baseball in NY isn't a game, it's a religion. I know old timers that stopped watching baseball and refused to follow the Yanks when the Dodgers and Giants moved. And when the Mets came about in 62 they became Mets fan b/c the Yankee hatred. NY needs a National League team no matter how big of a joke that team may be.
-
impressive team
something tells me they still won't win the World Series though
-
I was watching this very closely. Tex was the one player I wanted us to sign. I think he is going to be a great deal for us. Hes a great hitter in his prime with gold glove D. Massive upgrade from giambi and the kind of player you build a new core around. Awesome signage. The futre is looking bring for the Yanks. This years draft will be thin though lol.
-
^glad to see another Yanks fan up on here; what it do fam? ;) 8)
-
Much Love! I'm really excited to see what we do this year. I would like us to sign sheets for 2 years on the cheap cause he can be a 1 when/if he is healthy, bring Petitte back for uno mas and we are set!
-
at least now you all will lay off manny! :D

Sheets would be a dream, but i think were all done now, but i like our chances with Manny.
at least now you all will lay off manny! :D
i think its going to go either way.
i really think Manny is going to come aboard ship to go for the ring & play the Redsox 16 times a year or so.
but Manny or no Manny; or Sheets or no Sheets; i think were set. ;) 8)
-
you already have a shit load of OFers, so i dont think the yanks will even make an offer.
angels wont go after manny.
as of right now, the dodgers are the only team in the hunt for manny. :bandit:
we just need manny, and a front line starter and were set.
we gonna get peavy. watch! lol
-
^Yankee/Dodger WS?
im down! 8)
-
your chances are looking very good..idk about the dodgers chances yet, i would love it, but im not gonna be a complete homer about it lol.
-
i knew i hated teixera, fuckin' sell out.
-
how is he sellin out? he got offered top dollar and signed.
if every player that does that, is a sell out, then 99.9% of all players are sell outs. lol
-
I really thought he would stay with the Angels :-\
stupid me
well the Yankees are trying to buy a championship lets see how it works out for them

the angels coulda matched the yankees offer, i think. i dont know if they woulda gone any higher, but they definitely coulda matched it.

unless the Yankees trade Matsui (the Giants really wanted him last year) Manny won't be in NY
-
Truth be told tho, as good a signing as this is, the Yanks still have a lot of question marks.
Will Jeter further regress. He was rated the worst SS in baseball and had his worst offensive season since 1997. I personally think this is his fall from the top. He'll still be a good ballplayer but you wont get the production you are used to out of him
Can Cano bounce back ? I think he will
Can Posada come back from the injury ? I thought giving him a 4 year extension was a huge mistake. I have a feeling he is done. He won't be Jason Varitek done but he wont be anywhere near the old Posada
Will Matusi's legs finally fall off. He can't stay on the field, even if he is DH'ing
Was that a career year by Nady or him coming into his own ? I think it was a career year but he is still a good ballplayer and the type of role player I think the Yankees need to keep, but you know he will eventually be replaced by a big named hired gun
The only sure things in the line up are Gayrod and Tex
-
i predict jeter gets .301 batting, 11 home runs, 103 runs scored and 19 SB's
random #'s but they make sense lol
-
Yankees should be fine!
remember, the offseason (& offseason signings) arent over just yet. ;) ;D

yeah probably came down to Texeira just wanting to go to the Yanks
Angels season just ended so dissapointing

it's just something about signing with the Yankees because they offered the most cash
we've seen it so many times before, it's a lame move
it's always the team that the player probably wants to stay with, falling short a small percentage of money
seems like nobody really wants to play for the Yankees, hence why they have to be courted a lot to sign
it seems like free agents intentions with the Yankees is - "I'll only sign if you give me the most money"
-
seems like nobody really wants to play for the Yankees
LOL what?!? everybody and there mother wants to play for the Yankees!
every player that signs; "i have always wanted to play for the Yankees & help win a ring".
every kids dream it to come to NY and play for the Bombers; not even just the NY kids; kids from Chicago, LA, Florida, Texas, even kids from Kalamazoo Michigan dream to be in pinstripes. ;D
other major payroll teams could match or better our offers; but i guess this years class of free agents dont mean as much to those teams as they mean to us. ;) 8)

Maddux turned them down in the 90's. And I know if I had the talent to play big league ball I wouldn't want to play for the Yanks and I would take less money and sign elsewhere. People say I have always wanted to play for the Yankees just like every player says it's not about the money.

lol ok, 90% of all people then. :D
the Sox could have easily gotten Tex, but they laid off & now they are going to pay the price! :firedevil:

juan gonzolez turned down the yankees back in the day i think
on the opposite side of things, randy johnson wanted to ocme here before he went to AZ...wonder why that never happened
