Hard to dispute given that the Yankees are on their way to last place with the Yankees roster.

Yankee haters cringe when you make a prediction

Hard to dispute given that the Yankees are on their way to last place with the Yankees roster.

Hard to argue against four straight losses to the Other NY team...

Ron, I owe you some props: I didn't think Indiana could win more than once against Miami. They have acquitted themselves quite well in this series.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

The biggest salary on the Yankees staff has been the worst

Give it up

Hard to imagine that being possible with the excellence they sport at GM..

 

[chappee11]

All this because someone dared say that Mark Teixeira is in decline...

And to think, this is the guy who always talks about Patriots fans being too defensive..

Six Teams Interested In Chien-Ming Wang

By Steve Adams [May 31 at 10:55am CST]
Six teams have shown in right-hander Chien-Ming Wang, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe (on Twitter). However, at this point the right-hander is unlikely to opt out of his minor league deal with the Yankees because none of the six suitors are willing to offer him a Major League contract.
The Taiwanese right-hander has a clause in his contract that allows him to opt out today if he wishes, but it was reported earlier in the week that the only way he would do that would be for a Major League roster spot on another team. In 51 innings for the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, Wang has posted a 2.65 ERA with 4.1 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9. The consensus from scouts, however, has been that his stuff doesn't look nearly as good as it did during his peak years with the Yankees.
Wang's contract has three more opt-out dates: June 30, Aug. 10 and Aug. 31. The Orioles are one team who has reportedly shown interest in the 33-year-old, but that was said to be more due diligence than genuine intrigue.

You're lying about the BA thing. Your love affair with Dusty has you convinced that I am saying what you want me to be thinking. It's pretty insane actually

We have established that I'm a guy that cares about team results and you're a guy that cares about obscure numbers for individual players

In my world, pitchers winning and guys knocking in runs, lead to very good team results.

In your world, it's meaningless crap.

I'm comfortable with where I'm at considering how the team I cheer for has played in my lifetime

I never said BA was meaningless...just outdated, and there are better measurements of production...and when I broke down SLG%? YOU AGREED it was better...

RBI? Not meaningless...but no different than Runs...both are an indication of production that is directly related to those around you in the lineup...one shouldn't be considered any better than the other...

We both agree that the team result is the single most important thing...what we disagree on? Is what leads most to a team win...and with no other information, concluding the guy with the "w" next to his name in the boxscore is it? IS fucking stupid...plain and simple..

I know...color me retarded for thinking it's better to see how well a pitcher keeps guys off base and from scoring when we determine if he's pitched well...

Let's see...the Jays are 9.5 games back (last place) The Sox would be behind them 'with the Yankees roster'. We're a third of the way through the season. Jays on pace to finish 28 games out. Sox would be even worse 'with the Yankees roster', let's say 30 games out.

Simply donning the Pinstripes is worth 30 wins a year~ Dirt

I hit at a 98% rate without looking everything up

You still swing and miss at the same rate and you plagerize everything

Impressive

Give it up

CC has been worse than Hughes? Phelps? Nova?

No...what he's been? Is mediocre...

And Kuroda and Mo combine to make more than the Marlins and Astros (not combined)

"little engine that could"

More simple math

The Sox miss the postseason pretty much every season with a roster that destroys what the Yankees have trotted out this season

See how easy that was?

And cashman signing guys that would be "30 games out" if they didn't benefit from the NYC effect = "great GM"
